SEASIDE — North Coast landscape artist Darren Orange, known for his stunning mixed-media oil paintings, finds his surroundings to be the core of his inspiration, both current and those of his past. Orange said, “These pastoral places have provided me with references to understand the past and to be aware of my own mark on the environment.” This influence is clearly presented in his exhibit of new work, “Terminus Ad Quem, a final limiting point in time.” “I am addressing the issue of natural beauty in the wake of human influence. The human struggle to control the environment has left nature scarred; however, it perseveres and grows in its footsteps,” said Orange. The artist has chosen to present work which is a departure from his mixed-media oil paintings. “Terminus Ad Quem a final limiting point in time” consists of a series of digital photo mixed-media aluminum prints combined with Orange’s trademark use of nontraditional materials. The result is some of the most visually stunning work he has created to date. Commanding pieces that engulf the viewer in their bold imagery, familiar and foreign at the same time, include train cars abandoned in the wilderness and deteriorating piers being reclaimed by the elements, among others, all executed in bold contrast and limited color. The message of the exhibit is the story of the human footprint on nature and nature’s ability to endure beyond that imprint, not expressed in a way that takes the side of nature or the human element, but a combination which entices viewers to look at the subject in a manner relevant to them. The opening reception of “Terminus Ad Quem, a final limiting point in time” will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 5, with the artist in attendance. Yummy Wine Bar and Bistro is located at 831 Broadway and can be reached at (503) 738-3100 or log on to www.yummywine barbistro.com

Clay with oyster shells.
A wood-fired bowl.
Coastal Life Story of a bowl
I
found a strata of natural clay on the east side of Willapa Bay. The vein had been sheared off by erosion, by the tug of tide and a war with natural elements, wind and rain and many monster storms. In the sunlight the clay spangled like the back of a rainbow trout. The tide was out, way out. I didn’t have to claw away at the cliff face. Like leftovers from an earth celebration, chunks of dense pure clay lay scattered along the beach. At low tide, it was easy to gather, but carrying the heavy material up the cliff proved arduous. That wasn’t a problem — very little comes free in life. I dried the clay for a week, then chopped and smashed the scraps into small chunks and then into rough dust. I submerged the earth in more buckets of water, added porcelain scrap (leftovers from pot trimmings and failures, along the way). And grog. And then handfuls of crushed feldspar and granite. I then stirred the precious silver mud with a steel paddle attached to a large electric drill. A day later, all of this was filtered through a one-quarter-inch screen. I dried the wet clay on plaster slabs and began the process of wedging the soft clay into 5pound balls, kind of like kneading bread. The entire process took a number of days. Centering clay is Zen-like and adheres to a similar philosophy. A potter named Paulus Berensohn wrote a book, “Finding One’s Way with

applied to the bisque body and then fired at high heat, often, in the Anagama kiln, for many days. The Anagama or Dragon Kiln firing consumes six, seven or eight cords of wood during the extended firing. A body of people remains necessary for the success of that firing. Around-the-clock participation is a given, but Berensohn’s dance makes the difference between success or failure, makes the difference in the dance of color and form and the surprise and mystery of the fired clay vessel. Rowland never fails to acknowledge the community in his quest for the perfect bowl or the perfect clay pot. He and his wife Patty remain a gift to our community. I have known and respected the couple for years. I have learned patience and craft and the art of clay dance from Richard and others in the potters’ community. From Patty, I have learned the art of quietly giving. The act of throwing a simple clay bowl embodies both commitment and a quest for quality. Rowland and so many others have found their way with clay. Rod, Jan Richardson, Doug Shadbolt, Loren Cross and many others have consummated a dance with fire and earth and the Great Clay Galaxy. When you hold a stoneware bowl in your hands, remember the fire that created us, that orb of clay and rock that cooled, like the clay bowls in the earth kiln, and ultimately shaped who we are. Remember the story of a clay bowl and the community of potters.

Astoria Parks
North Coast Symphonic Band
Get your groove on with summer music
Free concerts celebrate Independence Day America’s national birthday in July calls for a stirring celebration, and to commemorate this patriotic holiday the North Coast Symphonic Band has scheduled free concerts Tuesday, July 3, in Astoria, and Wednesday, July 4, in Cannon Beach. “Go Fourth and Celebrate” is the theme of the exciting and entertaining program planned by NCSB Conductor and Musical Director David Becker of Manzanita. The Astoria concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 3, at the Liberty Theater, 12th and Commercial streets. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the Astoria Tuba Quartet will provide preconcert entertainment starting at 7 p.m. The concert is free, but donations will be accepted. The second concert takes place at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 4, at the band shell in the Cannon Beach City Park at Second and North Spruce streets. This free concert is sponsored by the Tolovana Arts Colony, Land’s End Motel, Cannon Beach Conference Center, Escape Lodging, Coaster Construction and other local business supporters. Public parking for the park is located at Second and Spruce streets. Clatsop Post 12 American Legion will present the national flag at the Liberty Theater concert as well as the service flags in a tribute to veterans of all military branches. Recent Astoria High School graduate Chantelle Krause will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Bob Walters of Ocean Park, Wash., will sing “God Bless America.” David Hall, classical music programmer for Coast Community Radio and president of the Board of the Tillicum Foundation, will be the master of ceremonies for both concerts. ChrisLynn Taylor of Astoria’s long-running melodrama “Shanghaied in Astoria” will return to sing three selections from the play arranged especially for her and the North Coast Symphonic Band by NCSB resident arranger Dave Robertson. These selections include “Macie’s Song,” “Lascivious Vivian,” and new this year, “Mama’s Song.” Joan Haaland Paddock, professor of music at Linfield College, will solo on cornet in “Bride of the Waves,” by Herbert L. Clarke, who was a cornet soloist with the famed Sousa Band. Paddock studied trumpet in Norway on a Fulbright scholarship and is a longtime member of Oregon’s Britt Festival Orchestra. She is “on call” for the Oregon Symphony and the Portland Opera Orchestra and performs with them when they need a substitute or extra member in the trumpet section. Paddock has a doctorate degree in trumpet performance from Indiana University School of Music. The July 3 and 4 concerts as planned by Becker harken back to the old-fashioned concert in the park, with many familiar tunes, but some will be in unusual settings. For example, the second half of the concert will start with Dudley Buck’s Festival Overture on “The Star-Spangled Banner,” written in the late 19th century to “provoke feelings of patriotism.” The NCSB will perform three American hymn songs from a suite by Dwayne Milburn. These brief movements are based on popular hymn tunes that many will recognize. Also on the program are several stirring Sousa marches and a medley of show tunes. Come early to the concert at the Liberty Theater July 3 to se-

Vicki Baker, of Astoria and Fort Myers, Fla., is shown with one of her brilliantly colored acrylic paintings.
Trail’s End Art Center Enjoy Fourth after-parade party and July art GEARHART — During the Fourth of July festivities, the public is welcome to stroll over to the Trail’s End Art Association gallery following the Gearhart parade. Cookies, refreshments and water for dogs will be available, and there will be face painting and balloons for the children. While there, enjoy a new exhibit of artworks by the July artist of the month, Vicki Baker. Baker will have more than a dozen paintings on display on central panels within the gallery. Her work can also be viewed on the website in a slideshow format. She has worked in charcoal, pastels, monoprints and most recently with acrylics. Baker says she especially likes acrylics to showcase the vibrant colors of Florida and its beaches – where she and her husband spend their winter months. Baker lived in Astoria for more than 30 years. She taught kindergarten and second-grade students in the Olney School District for 20 years. After she and her husband retired, they were visiting friends who shared their interests in kayaking, and were introduced to the warm climate of Fort Myers, Fla.
While they maintain a home in Astoria for summers, the pair now call a motorized houseboat in Fort Myers home during the winter months. Baker says she has developed a Florida palette of colors, which richly appear in her landscapes and ocean scenes. She has developed a special series of paintings for this exhibit at Trail’s End focusing on the Florida beaches, flowers, ocean and surrounding beauty. Baker notes that while she is inspired by the sunny hues of Florida’s seascapes, she still works fondly with the cooler blues and greens of the Pacific Northwest region. Baker will demonstrate techniques at the Trail’s End Art Association open house Saturday, July 7, just before Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk. Trail’s End will welcome visitors to the gallery from 3 to 6 p.m. and Baker will hold her demonstration at 4 p.m. Working in acrylics, Baker plans to complete a Pacific Northwest landscape. Refreshments will be served. Trail’s End Art Association Art Center is located in a historic schoolhouse at 656 A St., across from the fire station, and can be reached at (503) 717-9458 or through the website at www.trailsendart.org, which includes examples of artists’ works.
Cannon Beach Gallery Sitka Center brings summer to Cannon Beach CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Gallery will host a dynamic exhibit featuring five artists from the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, from June 28 to July 31, with an artist’s reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 30. The exhibit will feature works by Carol Riley, Andie Thrams, Deborah DeWit, Frank Boyden and Greg Wilbur. Located on Cascade Head in Lincoln County, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology was founded by Frank and Jane Boyden in 1970. Since then, the Sitka Center has developed a mission of expanding the relationship between art, nature and humanity through workshops, presentations and individual research projects in harmony with the inspirational coastal environment of Cascade Head. In 2010, the Oregon-based Ford Family Foundation recognized the Sitka Center as a “Golden Spot,” a place of distinctive natural beauty that “inspires artists to conceptualize their work in new ways.” It was that combination of awe-inspiring beauty and artistic freedom that drew the Boydens to the location in 1970, and that continues to bring creative people back year after year. “There’s a tremendous power in this place, in this land,” said Frank Boyden. “And I think that power really changes people’s lives.”
Seaside Public Library International river guide subject of film SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library will host documentary filmmaker Andreas Wallach at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5, as he shows his film “Ganga Mayai: River of Return.” The event will take place in the Community Room and there will be a question and answer session after the film. “Ganga Mayai: River of Return” is a documentary film that summarizes the life of wellknown river guide Ken Warren and celebrates its conclusion. Warren was an internationally known outdoor guide who is best known for leading the first expedition down the tributaries of the Ganges River. He also led an attempt to raft China’s wildest and most dangerous river, the Yangtze, which ended in the controversial death of a National Geographic photographer. Wallach, of Global Adventures, provides camera and production services for filmmaking ventures around the world.
The exhibit at the Cannon Beach Gallery represents a unique grouping of work by a handful of Oregon artists who 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 30 have been involved with the Cannon Beach Gallery Sitka Center as instructors 1064 S. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach and board members, along (503) 436-0744 with artist and co-founder, Frank Boyden. www.cannonbeacharts.org In addition to a group of etchings by Boyden, the show will include Riley’s sumptuous watercolor paintings with birdlife and botanical themes, artist books and paintings by Thrams; raising (an ancient metalsmithing process that stretches malleable metal into striking contours) by Wilbur; and paintings by DeWit.

rummer Dave Gager played with club bands throughout the Pacific Northwest during the 1980s. Moving to Astoria from Vancouver, Wash., in 2001, Gager created Bentrabbit Multimedia Studios in his new home. The evolution of technology helped Gager’s studio grow from its initial service as a drum track provider for area bands. “Small tape decks became affordable and within reach of the average musician, so self-producing demos became a viable alternative to paying hundreds of dollars per hour to ‘established’ studios,” Gager said. “Personal computers became more powerful and more affordable.” Soon, Bentrabbit Studios expanded its offerings. “Now, I do sound design for local theaters, demos for musicians, voiceovers and digital transfers. Pretty much the whole gamut,” Gager said. “Last year, I helped local filmmaker Mick Alderman record the Foley for his latest movie, and recently helped the Pacific County District Attorney’s office clean up background noise on some 911 recordings for a jury trial.” Gager is proud his studio has grown and thankful for the opportunity to do what he loves from home. “I’ve been fortunate to have some real talented performers come into my home, including local greats Maggie Kitson and Richard Thomasian,” Gager said. “The downside is that it is your home, and life will go on regardless.

the arts VISUAL ARTS • LITERATURE • THEATER • MUSIC & MORE BY DANIEL HAAG Receiving his B.S. in painting and art history in 2001 from the University of Portland, he decided to explore the colors and lighting of the coast. In 2012, he opened J. Scott Wilson Fine Art Studio and Gallery in Manzanita. “The challenge I set for myself was learning to capture the special West Coast light,” Wilson said. The new gallery displays works created at the studio he maintains in his Manzanita apartment, a former pizza restaurant. “I was lucky to find it,” Wilson said. “It was small, quiet and separate from my gallery.” He threw himself into transferring familiar landmarks such as Neahkahnie Mountain and Haystack
gives off such space and light,” Wilson said. “I’m very humbled to have found a spot for my work in this community.” He cautions aspiring artists to treat their home studios like regular offices. “You absolutely must establish a routine,” Wilson said. “There are a million little distractions that you can talk yourself into and suddenly miss days of work.” Wilson has few regrets about taking his art to this new level. “I’d reached that point in my life where I had to decide ‘paint or don’t paint,’” Wilson said. “If you constantly remind yourself to be 100 percent committed to whatever it is you are

doing, anything is possible.” *** Shaping wood into art has always been second nature for Nehalem carver Richard Park. Amachine design engineer for 30 years, Park saw retirement as an opportunity to delve deeper into his passion. To that end, he created RiverWatch Design. “Woodworking has been my hobby since I was a freshman in high school,” Park said. After building his house high above the north fork of the Nehalem River in 1998, Park began planning a studio where he could devote himself to his craft full time. Completed in 2000, his 400-square-foot woodshop became his second home. “It’s the studio I always wanted,” Park said. “Besides all of my tools, there’s a television and a bathroom. I don’t have to leave unless I want to eat.” Park has handcrafted jewelry boxes, clocks, valets and a weaving bench. “They each have different characteristics and different purposes,” Park said. His creations come mostly from exotic woods such as jatoba and curly bubinga. “Each carving is a one-of-a-kind heirloom piece,” Park said. Though his work can be found at Foxgloves in Astoria, Park prefers designing each piece with a client. “A lot of the fun comes from picking a person’s brain and finding out what they need.” With vistas of mountains, forest and river from his studio, Park finds it easy to be inspired. “With everything becoming so hurried and impersonal, I enjoy slowing down and providing attention to detail,” Park said.

THE FINAL CHAPTER
T
he lights of Seaside punctuated the darkness and illuminated Matt’s profile as he guided the gray Toyota Camry toward Astoria. “I just don’t understand.” Julie made an armsopen gesture of confusion, forcing herself to focus on the mystery at hand rather than the strong lines of her companion’s sculpted nose and chin. “What does Officer Robinson have to do with all this? How did he know there was a coffee can buried under the climbing roses in Oysterville? Unless he buried it there? Or Maggie Hamilton told him it was there? And what on earth is in it? And how did she know?” Matt frowned at the road. “Maybe he was in Long Beach with her before we got there and clocked her so he could get to the coffee can first.” “Why would he go to Manzanita with it?” “I don’t know, but he did.” “Maybe her brother knocked her out.” “Why?” “Maybe she’s been helping him with the murders, or at least covering for him and she got tired of it. Wanted to come clean.” Matt sent her a grin. “Come clean? Have you been reading Sam Spade?” She swatted his arm. “Well, you said ‘clocked.’ That’s not exactly a contemporary term.” “True. I think we’re both too tired to make sense – linguistically, or otherwise. Let’s just stop rehashing for a while. My brain needs a break.” She sighed in frustration. “That’s not being very helpful.” He spared her a mildly impatient glance. “I’m following Robinson over the speed limit down a dark road that deer love to cross. I’m trying to concentrate so I don’t contribute to Astoria’s accelerating death rate.” Julie was quiet for a few moments, then blurted the thought that had been on her mind all day despite two murders and a million unanswered questions. “I love you,” she said. Matt groaned and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “Julie ...”

“All right, all right. I’m just saying …” There was another protracted silence. “You’ve known me less than 48 hours,” he said finally. She studied him in concern. “Does that mean you don’t love me?” “No.” His voice sounded strained, as though being patient required effort. “It means you’ve known me less than 48 hours.” “But it’s been like a month of life condensed into two days. I feel as though I’ve known you forever.” What would she do, she wondered, if he didn’t return her feelings? They were big and loud and filled her being. Everyone heard stories about couples who lived together for years, got married, then divorced anyway despite what had to be intimate knowledge of each other. So, who was to say that love born in two days wouldn’t last? It was 7:58 when Robinson’s taillights bobbed off the Youngs Bay Bridge and onto the roundabout, Matt following a short distance behind. “Wait!“ Julie sat forward, then turned and pointed to her hotel as they passed it. “Matt! Stop! I can’t go to the Liberty Theater in your sweat bottoms and the top of a 19th-century dress!” “We can’t stop. We might lose him.” “We know where he’s going!” “And we want to confront him. We can’t stop.” His grin flashed at her. “Sorry. We have no choice here. And you’d look great if you were wearing a leaf bag.” She forgot her annoyance with him in the apparent sincerity of the compliment. Traffic picked up in downtown Astoria and Julie strained to keep Robinson’s taillights in sight as Matt stopped for pedestrians meandering across the street, laughter more of a priority for them than speed. The Liberty Theater’s vertical reader board and old marquee lights fringing a sort of canopy over the ticket booth brightened the downtown corner. Its Italianate construction was a glimpse into a gracious past. On-street parking seemed to be taken for blocks around. Julie pointed ahead. “He turned right a couple of blocks up.” “OK.” Matt turned right when the light changed. “We’ll see if there’s
a spot in the old Safeway lot. Now that we know he got here, I’m sure it’ll be easy to find him inside.” He circled the lot, then found a spot at the very back. He pulled in and turned off the ignition. Julie pushed her door open, rolling up the waist of the borrowed sweat bottoms and smoothing the blouse over the bunched-up fabric as though that would magically make Chanel separates out of them. Matt hurried around the hood to take her hand. She held tightly to it as they ran for the theater two blocks away. The night was cool and spitting rain. He stopped them in front of the old eight-sided ticket booth, his eyes turbulent. “What?” she asked worriedly. He looked into her eyes a moment longer then smiled with what seemed to be a combination of reluctance and surprise. “I love you, too,” he said. Her heart lurched against her ribs. Before she could respond, he pulled her after him through double wooden doors into the theater.
In the lobby The lobby was sparkling and opulent, a tribute to its early-20thcentury past. Julie absently noticed a carved plaster trim with medallions and the light through several doors opened into the theater beyond. The cast and crew of “The Fisherman’s Bride” and interested parties milled around the lobby in dinner dress, plastic glasses of champagne in hand. The decibel level of their conversations was impressively high. An easel had been set up in the middle of the lobby supporting an enlarged photo of Jacob Stein. It was a casual shot, obviously taken during this filming, of him sharing directorial advise with Phoebe Song and the male lead. At the top was a sign that read “In Memoriam” and at the bottom, a large basket of flowers. Though the assembly seemed too engrossed in their conversations to be distracted, they did all turn at once and stare at Matt and Julie. A hundred pairs of eyes showed disapproval at their appearance. “You’re going to pay,” Julie threatened Matt in a whisper, smiling in self-deprecation at the crowd, “for making me come dressed like this.”
He squeezed her hand. “I’m sure I’m going to pay for a lot of things,” he whispered back. “We apologize for our appearance,” he said to the group, “but we’ve been … busy, and there wasn’t time to change.” Graham Hamilton stepped out of the crowd, looking natty in a dark suit. “And what did you find? Tell me you found something.” He tipped his head sideways to indicate the gathering. “The scuttlebutt here tonight seems to be that I killed Stein to take over his job. The producer has been held up by some sort of family crisis and this is turning into a long evening for me.” Chief Munson in his dress uniform shook his head as he separated himself from the group. “Mr. Hamilton, here, was on the phone with James Lipton about filming a segment of ‘Inside the Actor’s Studio’ when Stein was murdered. I checked his cellphone activity.” Matt added that information to all the other details that refused to form a cohesive whole, then drew Hamilton and the chief aside. “But his sister was part of the wardrobe crew before he ever joined the film. Where was she, Graham, when Patsy Engbretson and Jacob Stein were killed?” “We found her unconscious today on the sand in Long Beach,” Julie added quickly. “Did you and she quarrel because you forced her to murder for you? Did you hit her and just leave her there to …” “Of course not!” Hamilton rolled his eyes. “And Maggie’s fine. Thanks to the two of you following her all over creation, she just mixed wine with a couple of Xanax and had a reaction. She’s … resting.” Julie caught a glimpse of movement in the shadows of the lobby and turned just in time to see Maggie in a little black dress and her signature pink scarf accepting something from Robinson. The coffee can! When Maggie caught sight of Julie, she tucked the can against her and disappeared down a hallway. “Resting?” Julie challenged Graham’s attempt to shield his sister, and took off in pursuit. She passed Robinson, who stood openmouthed, and followed Maggie down a corridor that appeared to lead outside. Afraid she’d lose her in the dark night, Julie picked up speed, spread her arms and flung herself at Maggie’s hips. They went down onto the carpet together in a tangle of arms and legs. The men quickly
surrounded them and hauled them to their feet. Matt gave Julie a slight shake. “Are you all right? For God’s sake, could you please remember that I’m the one with the training and the gun!” Graham and Robinson supported Maggie’s limp body as she sobbed. “Why did you run, Miss Hamilton?” Munson demanded. “Because I know it’s over, OK!” she wept. “And it’s all so sad!” “Strange choice of words. It’s sad that you killed Patsy and Stein?” Graham’s expression was grave. “She didn’t kill anyone.” Julie was skeptical. “Really? Then, what about Dorothy Perkins and the coffee can?” “The who and the what?” Munson asked in confusion. “Dorothy Perkins,” Matt explained, “is the name of the climbing roses that ramble over the picket fence at the old Munson house in Oysterville. When Maggie came to for a minute this afternoon, she said the words, ‘Dorothy Perkins.’” Munson seemed to wait for that to make sense. It apparently didn’t. Maggie tightened her grip on the coffee can. “I don’t get the connection,” Munson said. Matt indicated the can Maggie held. “That was buried at the base of the fence covered in Dorothy Perkins roses. I’m sure that’s what she meant.” Munson straightened. “What’s in it?” “I don’t know. Officer Robinson dug it up just a little while ago.” Robinson straightened, the picture of indignation. “You were following me? I didn’t murder anybody, if that’s what you’re suggesting.” “What’s in the can?” Matt asked, “And how did you know it was there if you didn’t put it there?” “I don’t know what’s in it. Something’s wrapped in a cloth bag inside the can. I didn’t think it was my place to open it.” “The coffee can was empty when we spotted your truck in Manzanita about an hour ago.” Robinson blinked. “You followed me to Manzanita?” Matt sighed. “Yeah. We’ve established that we were following

Odds & Ends
O
nce in a while I’ll have a bunch of little bits that wouldn’t form a cohesive article if thrown together. I’m going to throw them together anyway. First, I wanted to go ahead and chastise all of the people who refrigerate bread. Why do you do it? Do you think you’re extending the life? Do you prefer cold, hard bread? If bread were intended to be refrigerated, it would certainly be sold that way at the store. Next, those who oil their pasta water. Another pointless exercise. Oil and water don’t mix, so that sheen is going to float on the surface until the water boils. Then it will splatter all over your range. Once drained, pasta may be oiled to keep it from sticking, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you intend for sauce to stick to it. Pasta salad is likely to be dressed in a vinaigrette, so oiling is permitted. If you’re doing spaghetti with marinara, you’d obviously not oil the pasta. These fallacious practices are usually not founded in logic, but tradition. Just look at the classic anecdote about the end of the ham or roast: Woman cuts the end off of the ham. Someone asks her why she does it. Her mother always did it that way. She calls mom, who reports that grandma always cut the end off too. Why did grandma cut the end off? Because that’s the only way it would fit in her roasting

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com pan. something has been in the temperature danger It’s also interesting to note the differences zone (between 40 degrees F and 140 F) for between how a commercial restaurant kitchen more than a few minutes, I chuck it without a works and the second thought way the home about food cost I’ve never understood why people use cook does (and some garlic presses. I’ve never seen one things. For inbosses have stance, I’ll leave hated me for it in the hands of a chef .... pizza out over the years). overnight at home and have no worries about I’ve never understood why people use gareating it the next day. But if I’m on the job and lic presses. I’ve never seen one in the hands of
a chef, but some home cooks swear by the juice and pulp pushed through those little holes. I was recently shopping in Washington, when I saw a strange sight: booze on the shelves of a grocery store. I knew it was coming, but somehow thought it wouldn’t be any place so local. The selection was incredibly limited, and as I’d heard, the prices were sky-high. I even overheard one of the clerks encouraging a customer to travel to Astoria and save a few dollars. As regular readers of this page know, I love to pickle. But of all the pickling recipes I’ve given out over the years, I never got around to my pickled cucumber recipe. I probably made a dozen batches over the past few summers to get to where I am today. Tweaking and adjusting a little every time, I finally achieved a recipe I believe could not be improved upon. Everyone who’s tried them agrees, they’re the freshest, firmest, crunchiest pickle with the most perfect balance of salt and acidity. You see, I don’t like sweet pickles, as they’re generally too sweet. Pickling cucumbers aren’t always available, so when I run out, I have to buy jars at the store. The big dills are usually too salty and soft, so I go with the baby koshers. I like a sour pickle, but can’t always find cornichons at the supermarket. But with this recipe, I don’t have to settle for anything but the best, and neither will you.

you. What did you do with the contents?” “I had them in my pocket. I was supposed to meet … someone in Manzanita and … they didn’t show.” Robinson so avoided looking at Maggie that it was clear she was the other party in the rendezvous. Maggie put both hands over her eyes. “Why Manzanita when you were in Long Beach this morning?” Maggie lowered her hands, her manner defensive – and curiously embarrassed. “Because I just wanted to talk to him, all right? Out of sight of the gossiping cast and crew. But I obviously didn’t make it.” Everyone looked at everyone else, wondering if romance had somehow blossomed in the middle of the dangerous atmosphere. “Maggie didn’t hurt anyone,” Graham said. “Well, forgive us if we don’t believe you. She’s the one who planted the gun in my purse to divert suspicion from herself to me.” Julie fingered the ends of the scarf around Maggie’s neck then was completely surprised by the pain and grief in her eyes. “And how did you get all those scarves, anyway?” she continued in a grumble. “They were everywhere, even on the bed in my room.” Maggie heaved a ragged sigh. “Wardrobe. They were supposed to be part of a chorus line’s costume in a waterfront theater scene, but Jacob decided the whole thing didn’t work. But I liked the color and … wore one the day Patsy Engbretson was murdered. It was handy to wrap the gun in, then easy to pay a housekeeper at the hotel to put it in your room, telling her you’d left it in my car.” “If you didn’t kill Patsy,” Matt said, “you must know who did, otherwise why would you think it all so sad?” She gave him a look of such misery that his expression softened. “Two people have been murdered, Maggie. You have to tell us what you know.” She opened her mouth to speak, then seemed to change her mind and closed it. Graham tried to help. “She went to the Column early that morning to find our sister,” he said. Munson made a sound of distress. “Your sister. You have another sister?” That contributed only more confusion to the mystery. “Yes. It’s kind of a long story. Can Maggie sit down?” Munson pushed Matt, Julie, Maggie, Graham and Robinson back up the corridor and through one of the doors into the theater. He excused himself to the crowd as he closed the door behind them. Julie saw an enormous paper and fabric light fixture with graduated layers like an upside-down birthday cake, and rows and rows of red leather seats curved toward a small stage. Brass railings picked up the light. “Everybody sit back here.” Munson pointed to the two last rows in the middle. When they had complied, Maggie, Graham and Munson in the next-to-last row, and Robinson, Matt and Julie in the back, Munson pointed to Graham. “Continue, please.”
Adoption Maggie stared vacantly as Graham began. “Maggie and I were adopted as kids by a Southern California family that had a small resort and restaurant. They had half a dozen adopted kids and though they didn’t actually abuse us, they worked us like kitchen and janitorial staff. The newspaper did stories on their generosity and social conscience, but only we kids knew the truth. They fed and clothed us, but they used us like slave labor. Conditions were rotten most of the time. We didn’t get to do any of the things other kids did because we were too busy working. 18 | March 24, 2011 | coastweekend.com
Everyone meets in the seats to unravel the murder mystery.
“But we all had each other. Only Tricia couldn’t quite adjust. Apparently she’d had an adoption when she was younger that didn’t take, so she ended up in foster care before she came to us at about 12. She always talked about finding her biological family and starting over. She and Maggie became very close, so when I ran away at 17, I brought Maggie and Tricia with me. I had a plan to make it in the movie business and got a job helping build a set in Palm Springs and it all developed from there. Maggie was 16 and worked in wardrobe, props, whatever jobs she could find. Tricia was a pretty kid and got a bit part in the movie and went to school on the set. We survived.” Everyone waited for the story to connect to the murders. Graham went on. “All Tricia talked about was finding her family. Maggie even did an adoption search for her, hoping it would help her to learn where she’d come from. She seemed to grow more fragile as time went on, more focused on what she didn’t have than what she did. Even though she was beginning to get bigger parts.” “I found her mother,” Maggie said, swiping at tears. The chief gave her his handkerchief. “Thank you. At about the same time, we got word of the movie being filmed here. Tricia got a part and I got a job in wardrobe.” She looked up, her eyes wide with disbelief. “It was one of those too-good-to-be-true coincidences. Her mother lived here. But instead of being excited, Tricia was sort of … I can’t describe it.” “Angry,” Graham said. “Vengeful.” “What do you mean, vengeful?” “She looked around Astoria and said that she couldn’t believe she could have grown up here with the river and the hills and the natural beauty, but instead spent her childhood among congestion, freeways and the tyranny of that restaurant kitchen.” Julie thought she saw a glimmer of truth. “Patsy Engbretson,” she guessed in a whisper, “was her mother?” Maggie nodded. “She went to see her the evening before that awful morning. We were supposed to go together, but it had been a bad day for costumes – some fabric we’d spent a fortune on didn’t hold up to an ac-
tion sequence and I had to remake two skirts and a hat. I was late. Anyway, Patsy was out and Tricia was so disappointed. The neighbor told her Patsy volunteered at the Column and would be there by 8 in the morning. “Again, we were supposed to go together. When I got up the next morning and Tricia was already gone, I had an awful feeling. I raced up there and found … Patsy’s body! Tricia was just sitting there with her, the gun still in her hand. “‘She just threw me away,’ Tricia said. She looked as though she’d come apart. She said she asked Patsy why and she said she’d thought it would be better for her. She’d been young and stupid when Tricia was conceived and Tricia’s father didn’t really care about either of them. She tried to raise Tricia, but things became too difficult for her financially and she had to give her up. She said she’d been to see Stein when the film crew arrived; he was polite but he told her his life was too busy for complications. Patsy tried to hug her and that was when she shot her. She said she had no right to hug her. She’d given her away as though she was packing up old clothes.” Matt leaned toward Maggie. “Where is Tricia?” Maggie tore at the handkerchief. “She’s upstairs looking at the dailies. She … likes to watch herself work.” “Dailies? You mean, she’s an actress on this film?” Maggie looked up, seemingly surprised that he didn’t know. “Yes,” she said. “She changed her name when she began working steadily, wanting it to sound elegant, lyrical.” Everyone waited for more. “She’s Phoebe Song,” Graham finished for her. “Tricia, our little sister, is Phoebe Song.” Munson bolted for the doors, shouting for Robinson to follow. They heard him shouting orders on the other side of the door. “Patsy told her that Jacob Stein came to Astoria as part of a movie crew in 1987. He was just 19 and Patsy was 17 and got a part as an extra. They fell in love, spent a night across the river in Oysterville
... she could have grown up here with the river and the hills and the natural beauty...

where Patsy thought of that picket fence with the rambling roses as a symbol of their future together. But Stein was enrolled at UCLA and had to leave when filming was over, and Patsy was supposed to go to the U of O. They pledged to meet in Oysterville after graduation and to seal that pledge, wrote up the promise and buried it in the coffee can under the roses with her locket and his class ring inside.” She shrugged at the broad romantic gesture. “They were kids. And, of course, Stein’s career took off even before he graduated, so he never came back. Patsy discovered she was pregnant, stayed home to have the baby and got no answer to her letters to Stein. She tried to raise the baby, but her parents died in an auto accident and she just couldn’t do it alone. She gave Tricia up for adoption when she was almost 3.” “Tricia was always a little different,” Graham said, rubbing Maggie’s shoulder while she wept. “Maggie loved being her big sister. She always protected and supported her, and she continued to do it after she found her with Patsy’s body. She took her back to the hotel room they shared during filming and disguised herself with the hat and dark glasses and went to throw the gun in the river, but there were tourists enjoying the view so she ran back into the hotel, saw police officers coming and ducked into the restroom and found … Julie.” He pursed his lips apologetically at Julie. “I’m sorry. You looked away to dry your hands and she dropped the gun in your purse.” “So, Tricia killed Stein, too?” “Yes. Maggie called me when she saw what Tricia had done and I came immediately. She and I were up most of the night, trying to figure out what to do. We thought Tricia was asleep, but she got away from us when Maggie took a shower and I got a call from James Lipton. Tricia knew Stein always got to the set before everyone else to think the scene through and she cornered him in the dark. She considered him worse than Patsy because he didn’t even seem to care that she’d been born.” “But he bought a house here. Doesn’t that suggest that he wanted to stay?” “No. He bought it for investment and had no plans to reconnect with Patsy or Tricia. And Tricia thought it more of her life’s weird injustice that she’d been working with Stein for three weeks without knowing their connection. She hadn’t a clue until Patsy told her. And, I’m sure, neither did he. When the two of you arrived on set and Julie stopped at the craft services table to pour a cup of coffee, I dropped the old Luger in her purse. I borrowed that from the guard who watches the set at night. He’s never fired it. I think half the time he forgets to carry it. Anyway, your purse worked so well in causing a distraction last time.” She glanced guiltily at Julie. “I’m sorry. My whole life has been about looking out for her.” “That’s two lives lost, Maggie,” Matt pointed out. “She has to pay for that.” Graham nodded. “We knew we had to call the police, but Maggie’s having trouble coming to terms with that. Tricia’s life was harder than ours because she thought it should be different than it was – that she was special, but everyone kept rejecting her. We just accepted what we had and carried on.” Robinson touched Maggie’s shoulder. “I think you’re pretty special.” Maggie looked into his eyes, her own brimming. “Thank you, Jerry,” she whispered. “I wanted us to have time to talk.” “It’s OK,” he said. “We’ll talk later.” Julie almost hated to interrupt them, but she had to know what was in the coffee can. She pointed to it. “Maggie, can we see …”

Maggie held the can out toward Julie, but Matt intercepted it. “This is evidence – of a sort.” He opened the can and pulled a folded sheet of paper out of a gingham bag tucked inside. He glanced at it, frowned, then poured the rest of the contents of the bag into his hand. Out fell the chunky gold class ring with its crest and the numbers 1986 flanking the sides, and the locket Maggie had told them about. The locket was gold with a diamond chip in the center of a star. Matt opened it carefully and found a photo of Patsy and Jacob Stein that had probably been taken in a Seaside photo booth that summer. Julie opened the folded sheet of paper and read aloud. “Patricia Katia Engbretson and Jacob Aaron Stein, being deeply and solemnly in love, do pledge that when we graduate from college we will meet again on this spot and plan the rest of our lives together. Separation will not diminish our love or dim our resolve.” It was signed by Patsy and Stein. Julie wiped away a tear. Poor Patsy. She remembered Stein’s callous reaction when she told him Patsy had been murdered. Had he really not remembered her, or had it been a way of concealing their connection out of embarrassment or fear of being made to pay for the past? She looked at their young faces in the locket photo and thought how sad it was that love that youthful and sincere should have brought about such tragedy. “When Tricia told me about the coffee can,” Maggie said, “I asked Jerry to get it for me.” “Jerry?” “Officer Robinson.” There was silence while everyone considered what Stein’s cruel indifference had brought about. Then the sound of a gunshot ripped the stillness and was followed instantly by shouts and screams and the thunder of running feet. Matt and Julie and Maggie and Graham ran out into the lobby where everyone was gathered around Robinson, who sat on the bright carpet, a wet stain spreading on the shoulder of his shirt. His face was ashen.
Munson knelt beside him, pressing his hand to the wound. Blood seeped between his fingers. Phoebe Song – Tricia – in a sparkling silver dress that clung to her curves, her short platinum hair like a misplaced halo, stood over them, the Luger aimed at Robinson’s head. “Tricia!” Maggie gasped. “They want to take me away,” Tricia whined, whatever fragile grasp she’d maintained on reality now clearly lost. “I’m not going. I killed them, but they gave me away! Me! That’s worse.” Maggie took the coffee can from Matt, dug out the note and handed back the can. Then she walked intrepidly toward her sister. “Tricia,” she said, a slight tremor in her voice as she stepped between the men on the carpet and the gun. “I want you to see this.” Tricia pushed her aside. “Stay out of the way, Maggie. What is it?” “It’s the promise your parents made to each other right after you were conceived.” “I don’t care. They didn’t keep it.” Maggie ignored that and proceeded to read. When she’d finished, she tried to reason with Phoebe. “They wanted to meet up again and make a life for you. I’m sorry it didn’t work out. Your mother loved you. She tried, but life was bigger than she was. Put the gun down, Sweetie. It’s nobody’s fault that this happened to you.” “I’m not going away.” Tricia sounded 5 years old. “You have to, Tricia. It’ll make things better.” “No.” “Yes. Please give me the gun.” Julie’s heart leapt to her throat as Maggie reached for it. Tricia tried to raise it out of her reach and a shot exploded. There were a few screams followed by an instant of horrified silence, then several patches of plaster fell around them, powdering the air. Continued on Page 20

wrapped it around her neck with a flourish. “Thank you. Remember what you’ve survived. You’re no wimp yourself.” An officer came to take Maggie’s arm and led her away. Before long, the crowd had dispersed and the assistant director declared a day off the following day until they knew what would happen to Graham, or could find another director. Someone went through the building, turning off lights and locking up. Matt wrapped an arm around Julie and tucked her against his side as they left the theater and walked toward the car in the darkness of the side street. “It’s cool,” Julie complained, snuggling closer against the light wind and drizzle. Matt stopped and pulled off his jacket. “This weather is pure Astoria,” he said, then noticed the scarf as he put the jacket around her shoulders. “What’s this?” She told him about Maggie’s apology and their conversation. “I got to thinking about my wonderful family and wondering where I’d be if I hadn’t had them. It was easy to forgive her.” He wrapped his arm around her again and they walked on. “You are a tough little cookie. I know that’s politically incorrect, but you know what I mean. It was good of you to forgive her after what that family has put you through.” Julie wrapped her arm around his waist, noticing how his jacket was deliciously warm from his body. The memory of his “I love you, too,” in front of the theater warmed her to the core of her being. “It helped a lot that you were here. Thank you for caring enough to stay with me through it all.” “It’s been my pleasure. Who’d have thought I’d find the love of my life in the back seat of my cab?” She stopped under a streetlight to smile up at him. “The love of your life? Really?”
Matt and Graham ran forward as Phoebe collapsed in tears in Maggie’s arms. Matt took the gun and Graham wrapped his sisters in his arms. After a moment, Maggie sank to her knees beside Jerry Robinson. Two patrol cars arrived, followed by an ambulance. Robinson was placed on a gurney and the crowd parted to let the EMTs through. Maggie walked with them as far as the doors. “Stay with Phoebe,” Julie heard him say. “I’ll be fine. We’ll talk later.” Munson and Matt spoke briefly while Graham and another officer led Phoebe Song away. Maggie came back to Julie, tossed her hair back and drew a breath as though what she was about to say was difficult. “I’m sorry.” She hunched her shoulders but met Julie’s eyes. “That was an awful thing to do, to try to shift suspicion from my sister to you. I thought that by the time everyone figured out you hadn’t done anything, we’d be long gone. But you and that cabbie of yours are just too tenacious. Looks like we’re all going to jail. Well …” She took a step backward. “I hope some day you’ll be able to forgive me.” Julie thought about her wonderful parents, her secure childhood, the sense of self they’d helped develop in her that had less to do with ego than with the fact that she was loved. She couldn’t imagine growing up the way Graham, Maggie and Tricia had. She offered her hand to Maggie. “I’m sorry for all you’ve been through. Good luck.” Maggie was stunned. “That’s big of you.” She smiled thinly, turned to walk away, then turned back again. She pulled the scarf from around her neck and offered it to Julie. “You want this as a reminder of how tough you really are?” Julie took it, ran the filmy fabric once through her hands, then 20 | March 24, 2011 | coastweekend.com
He kissed her lingeringly. “Really.” He grew suddenly serious. “When do you have to go home?” “Um … no time in particular. I’ve got to get some research and writing done. So far, I’ve been seriously waylaid. Why?” “There’s something I have to do.” “What’s that?” “A cop friend in Pendleton texted me that Eddy Fleming is in foster care again. This time his dad’s going to jail for 10 years. His mom died in April.” “Eddy Fleming is … ?” “The boy whose father I knocked around for abusing him. Eddy …” His voice grew raw and he cleared his throat. “He asked my friend to contact me. I want to see if I can get at least temporary custody.” She looked into his eyes and saw everything she’d ever wanted in a man. Kindness, intelligence, compassion. And best of all, brightly visible, love for her. Though he seemed a little concerned at the moment about her reaction to what he wanted to do. “What would you think of that? I mean, if I got custody of an 11year-old boy. And we got married.” And we got married, she repeated to herself. What could possibly be bad about any situation with him that ended, and we got married? “I think it would probably be harder than either of us can imagine right now, but I love you so much, and your loving me makes me invincible.” She gave her scarf a tug to prove it. She could live forever, she decided, on the look in his eyes. “All right, then.” He wrapped his arm around her, kissed her temple and crushed her to him as they walked on. “There is one thing,” she said. “Yeah?” “Does this absolve me of the $9 I still owe you for the cab ride?” His laughter boomed in the quiet night.
