4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017 Batman: West’s mother lived in Gearhart’s Ocean House Continued from Page 1A Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian The Astoria Riverfront Trolley played a featured role Sunday, leading the parade through downtown Astoria. Pride: ‘I haven’t felt this relaxed and free to be me in a long time.’ Continued from Page 1A Feel the support Rachael McDougall and her wife traveled from South Bend, Washington, to take part in the Astoria Pride festivities. “It’s so wonderful to have a queer community this close, because on the Washing- ton side, there’s nothing,” McDougall said. “I haven’t felt this relaxed and free to be me in a long time.” For fear of losing cus- tody of her children and other backlash, McDougall said she did not come out about her sexuality until she was 55. With her partner of five years, she said she loves and feels love in a way she never has before. McDougall enjoys the opportunity to surround her- self with people from the LGBTQ community “It’s always kind of sweet and sour because I wish we lived in a world where people felt free to be who they are.” Nevertheless, McDou- gall said she appreciates the chance to participate in Pride events. “It’s not like trying to swim upstream. It’s like being in a big pond, a big queer pond.” and John’s mother,” the Sea- side Signal reported. From Gearhart their plans were to go by chartered plane to Walla Walla, Washington, the Signal wrote in 1966. “Batman will then fly to New York City via Portland in Los Angeles, where he will make a number of personal appear- ances to promote his new Batman movie.” According to the Internet Movie Database, Adam West was born William “Billy” West Anderson on Sept. 19, 1928, in Walla Walla, to par- ents Otto West Anderson, a farmer, and his wife, Audrey V. Speer, an opera singer. She was also known as Adele. After a divorce Speer remarried. She took Billy and his younger brother, John, to Seattle. At age 14, Billy attended Lakeside School, then went to Whitman College, where he got a degree in literature and psychology. During his last year of college, he also married 17-year-old Billie Lou Yea- ger, the first of several mar- riages, before launching a career in film and show business. In 1959 he moved to Hol- lywood and took the name Adam West. He appeared in the film “The Young Phila- delphians,” and guest starred on television Westerns and crime dramas. His mother, meanwhile, remarried once again and lived in Gearhart’s Ocean House on Pacific Way. Gear- hart’s Jim Furnish remem- bered her as Adele DeSilva. West was a constant visi- tor to Gearhart, Jeff Ter Har, a neighbor at the time, said. “I was like 10 years old,” Ter Har said. “I would be home and he would be at my parents house for cocktails and all my friends would come over and see me. ‘I have Batman at my house — Bruce Wayne without the mask.’ It was pretty cool for me.” Ter Har said West’s fam- ily became really good friends with his parents and his family. West’s brother, John, spent “a lot of time down here too, also his wife Carol,” Ter Har said. “A lot of the kids are still in the Portland area.” Scott Bechtolt of Asto- ria still cherishes memories of when Batman came to Gearhart. “We walked down a few houses and approached a house that looked like a light- house without the tower or a nautical fort,” Bechtolt said. “I thought that was cool … then we knocked … and … Batman answered the door! Just like on T.V. … Ka pow!” Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian LEFT: The annual Astoria Pride Parade featured hundreds of marchers with banners, balloons, flags and many other assorted adornments. RIGHT: Many parade participants brought their four-legged companions along the route. May: ‘It doesn’t matter how long it takes’ Continued from Page 1A Ponce May said she had some false starts going back to school, after having daughters Jasmine, 4, and Edihe, 2, and needing to return to work. “It was 2015 when I decided to go for it,” she said of her final successful push to pass the GED exam. Balancing act The decision has been a difficult balancing act with work and family, but Ponce May said her husband has always been willing to work long hours in support of her dreams. Often translat- ing for friends, Ponce May said, some people asked why she wasn’t doing something like helping non-English patients communicate at a hospital, which gave her an idea. “I see a lot of people not speaking English,” she said. “My mom doesn’t speak English. It’s really hard to communicate with a doctor or a nurse.” Ponce May turns 28 on Tuesday and estimates another three years to finish her prerequisites and the medical-assisting pro- gram. But her message to other graduates Friday was simple. “It doesn’t matter how long it takes,” she said. “Just go for it.” — Edward Stratton The Daily Astorian/File Photo “Batman” entertains Gearhart kids in August 1966.
