Sikh: Plans to hold celebration
of Ghadar Party founding in July
Play: Old fairytale
has relevance today
Continued from Page 1A
Continued from Page 1A
Five years ago, Ogden’s
article about East Indians who
lived in Astoria and founded
the Ghadar Party at the city’s
Finnish Socialist Hall in 1913
resurrected the forgotten his-
tory not only for modern-day
Astorians, but also for Indian
families who may not have
realized they had ties to the
area. It also led to the instal-
lation of the first bronze
sign. Located at the Mari-
time Memorial Park under the
Astoria Bridge, it proved to be
an important site for tourists
from India and Indian com-
munities across the United
States.
It is critical for stories like
the one about the Ghadar Party
and the Indian workers who
lived in Astoria’s Alderbrook
neighborhood to be included
in the region’s history, espe-
cially where certain stories
might have come to dominate
the narrative and exclude oth-
ers, Ogden said afterwards.
“I think we need to expand
what we include in the sto-
ries of this place,” she said.
“We need to complicate that
narrative.”
When the sign was stolen
in October, news of the theft
went around the world, even
appearing in Indian news-
papers. But former Astoria
mayor and master of ceremo-
nies Willis Van Dusen com-
mented that the theft provided
an opportunity for people to
gather and bring the history to
the forefront once again. Local
businesses and Sen. Johnson
donated money to replace it.
The event was supposed
to be held outside where the

nities at an event Saturday marking the Ghadar Party.
original sign stood, but harsh
winds and rain forced every-
one indoors to the Holiday Inn
conference room. The room
was packed with people, with
Sikh families figuring predom-
inantly among the crowd.
The Indians who journeyed
to the Pacific Northwest seek-
ing jobs and better opportuni-
ties found themselves driven
out of communities in Wash-
ington state. Many found jobs
and temporary homes in towns
and cities along the Oregon
side of the Columbia River, but
still faced hardships because of
their distinct culture, appear-
ance, language and ethnicity.
Gurinder Singh Khalsa,
founder and chairman of a Sikh
political action committee,
asked: Who are immigrants?
“The definition of immi-
grant for me is a person who
has the courage, who has the
drive, who has the vision and
who has the determination to
leave their own country, leave
their own family, to leave their
own community, own culture,
and come to a new land,” he
said.
For Ogden, given the cur-
rent policies and views arrayed
against modern-day immi-
grants, and times when Sikhs
were still singled out because
of their appearance — the men
with their long beards and tur-
bans — after the 9/11 attacks,
the story of the Sikhs in Asto-
ria and the founding of the
Ghadar Party remain very
important. Those stories con-
tinue today, she said, watching
as people came to take pictures
with each other and look at the
new sign.
“How often does a histo-
rian get to see history come to
life?” she said. “It doesn’t get
any better.”
Avtar Singh Adampuri of
Renton, Washington, said that
while Sikhs are proud of the
roles they have played, they
do not always collect and pre-
serve their own histories.
“We thank you that you did
it, you took care of it,” he said.
There are plans to hold
a celebration of the Gha-
dar Party’s founding in mid-
July. Organizers hope it will
become an annual event.
humanity in yourself. Belle is
the human, coaxing it out of
the ‘beast.’”
Flood’s story mirrors the
heroine, a beautiful, book-
ish nerd who doesn’t appre-
ciate her hometown until she
is away from it.
The 25-year-old returned
to the coast last year to have a
baby and become a hands-on
leader of Peninsula Asso-
ciation of Performing Art-
ists, the group her mother
founded.
Her parents, Gary and
Cindy Flood, operate a
33-acre Long Beach farm,
raising beef and training Ger-
man shepherd puppies.
She attended Ilwaco
schools and Clatsop Com-
munity College, and was
a stalwart in local theater,
notably in 2008 as milkman
Tevye’s rebellious second
daughter, Hodel, in a com-
munity production of “Fid-
dler on the Roof,” a role she
reprised four years ago.
At George Fox Univer-
sity in Newberg, she studied
acting and directing while
earning credentials in tech-
nical theater and design.
She appeared in “The House
of Bernarda Alba,” an all-
women show about repres-
sion and conformity, “Ser-
vant of Two Masters,” an
Italian commedia dell’arte
that showcased tumbling,
and “Parade,” an edgy musi-
cal about a 1913 murder trial
that exposes anti-Semitism.
After graduation, Flood
spent a short while in Con-
necticut working as stage
manager for a community
theater before returning to
the West Coast. She and her
partner, Billy Phillips, have a
son, William, who just turned
1.
David Immel, a retired
professional entertainer who
lives in Long Beach, played
Tevye in PAPA’s 2014 pro-
duction of “Fiddler on the
Roof.” He described Flood
as an asset to the theater
community.
‘She is very
focused,
that’s what’s
remarkable
about her.’
David Immel
retired entertainer
“She is very focused,
that’s what’s remarkable
about her,” he said. “She
keeps everybody on point.
It’s refreshing to me to see
that kind of professionalism
in this area in someone so
young.
“She’s got it all — amaz-
ing talent and she’s beautiful.
She’s more grounded now
than ever with the baby.”
Flood began taking piano
lessons from longtime PAPA
director Barbara Poulshock
when she was 6.
Poulshock will be musi-
cal director and Cindy
Flood, a former Los Ange-
les dance teacher, will be
choreographer.
“Beauty and the Beast,”
the musical based on a Walt
Disney movie, will be staged
at the Fort Columbia The-
ater in Chinook in July and
August.
