RADIO DAYS:

KMUN’S JAZZY HOST PAM TRENARY PUTS MUSIC INTO CONTEXT PHOTO BY DANNY MILLER

Pam Trenary hosts her evening jazz show every first and third Wednesday at Coast Community Radio in Astoria.

By KATE GIESE

FOR COAST WEEKEND

ASTORIA — Few things touch the heart of a community like a local radio station, and Astoria’s KMUN — the oldest broadcast on Coast Community Radio — is no exception. On the air since 1983, KMUN arose largely through the work of volunteers. One such pioneer of the local air waves was Pam Trenary, of Astoria, who has volunteered at the station since its inception, and hosts “Evening Jazz” from 6 to 8 p.m. the first and third Wednesday of every month. Trenary never imagined she would have a radio show. After the station was born, however, she began

treating listeners to jazz — hot, cool and everything in between.

Jazz history

When she initially took on the DJ job, she had, at best, a cursory knowledge of the genre. But Trenary — who grew up in Northeast Portland and now lives in Astoria with her husband, Hampton Scudder — came from a musical family. “My grandmother played the piano and actually supported the family (with it) during the Depression,” she said. Trenary’s mother also enjoyed jazz, and mother and daughter would go to concerts in Portland — on one occasion seeing Dave Brubeck, the great jazz pia-

nist, perform. Trenary also listened to jazz while attending the University of Oregon, and got to know some of the local musicians who played in Eugene’s jazz clubs. “Jazz was coming to the universities then. I saw Count Basie there,” she said. “Going (to U of O) really opened up my world.” She admits to having been an indifferent student until she became interested in civil rights. While preparing her fledgling KMUN jazz show, she drew on that interest, but Trenary also steeped herself in jazz. “I read a lot, listened and hung out with people on KMUN’s development committee,” she said. “They all had terrific personal jazz

libraries that pretty much covered the spectrum.” Her knowledge of jazz came by listening to others, and by reading music biographies and black history. “Jazz reflects the social history of this country and its race relations. You can’t say it’s a truly black art form … but we wouldn’t have it without their contribution,” she said. “It’s really a fusion of Western-Euro and African music traditions which came together down in New Orleans.”

Personal favorites

The dedicated DJ tends to play early jazz on her program. “I tend toward the swing and blues sides. Mose Allison’s ‘In My Own Backyard’ is a favorite, for

example,” she said. “ I’m also partial to jazz vocals, often by females, and love scat.” Another favorite is the American jazz singer Betty Carter (1929-1998). “She was a rebel, and I liked the fact that she had her own label,” Trenary said, adding: “Anyone who sings scat doesn’t like her much. Her voice is too pretty.” Not long ago, Trenary opened her show with The Manhattan Transfer and Pink Martini. “I’m also partial to jazz piano,” she said. “Actually, I like it all except for bebop.” One big challenge of producing her show: “Coming up with listening experiences for people. It takes time to put a coherent show together

— roughly three to four hours. I like to have it flow and feature selections that tie it all together,” she said. “I also try not to talk much.” With featured artists, she will sometimes offer background. For Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, for example, Trenary found a speech the reverend gave at the International Jazz Festival in Munich. “Then I talked jazz a while and why it’s culturally important — tried to give a context to things,” she said. So expect Trenary to treat listeners to great jazz and share informed insights into America’s jazz heritage. Her monthly playlists can be found at www.coastradio. org.

Kirk, who was recently interviewed on National Public Radio, will share stories from her life, “a life filled with authenticity, when we all didn’t quite fit in a neat box while coming into our own as an adult.

It’ll be funny, sad, sentimental, disturbing, adventurous and above all else, brutally honest,” according to press materials. Portland writer Celeste Gurevich, who has been published in Perceptions: A Magazine for the Arts, will kick off the show. Afterward, there will be a book signing, some socializing and a complimentary dessert. Cocktails will be available. For more information, call KALA (1017 Marine Drive) at 503-338-4878.

MacGREGOR’S WHISKEY BAR TO WET MANZANITA’S WHISTLE SOON-TO-OPEN ESTABLISHMENT WILL HAVE MORE THAN 100 BROWN LIQUORS ON HAND

By DAN HAAG

FOR COAST WEEKEND

MANZANITA — Mark Twain famously asserted that “too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” Keep that in mind as you plan your first visit to MacGregor’s Whiskey Bar, a soon-toopen establishment on Laneda Avenue that holds good brown liquor in high regard. Owner Chip MacGregor has developed a deep appreciation for the educational side of whiskey, something he credits to his Scottish roots. “I grew up in a Scottish family around Scotch, and over the years, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know about whiskey,” he said. Over the years, MacGregor – who also owns and operates MacGregor Literary – had harbored a desire to open a tasting bar of some sort in Manzanita. “I’d talked with Vino Manzanita a few times about buying it,” he said, though concrete plans never materialized. That changed Oct. 14 when a freak tornado hit the town. Vino Manzanita took a direct hit, sustaining significant damage and prompting the former business owner to not renew her expiring lease. MacGregor communicated his whiskey bar idea to the building’s owner and soon began the whirlwind process of repairing and remodeling: New lighting, a copper-top bar and old church pews will highlight the space, which will seat 30. The bar, located at 387 Laneda Ave., is slated to open May 1.

‘That perfect feel’

While whiskey has been a staple of the cocktail scene

for years, only recently has it developed its own craft scene, with whiskey tasting bars and distilleries popping up with greater frequency around the country. It has also taken on an international flavor and stretched beyond the more recognizable Scottish, Irish and American brands. MacGregor points to the evolution of whiskey as a big part of the fun in his new venture. “Whiskey has become a big deal all over the world,” he said. “Some of the finest whiskeys right now are being made in Japan, where they utilize more scientific methods rather than the cultural approach most people are used to.”

Besides the bar’s namesake, MacGregor’s brain trust includes Manzanita author and editor Holly Lorincz and Lynn Kyriss, longtime owner of Manzanita staple Left Coast Siesta. Lorincz drew up the interior plans for a quiet, intimate space where people can enjoy a wide variety of whiskeys in an upscale setting; Kyriss will manage the kitchen. They’ve had outside help as well: A consultant from Lexington, Kentucky, who owns the whiskey bar Parlay Social, has been working closely with the team to ensure the new establishment captures the perfect feel. Part of that perfect feel is food, and MacGregor’s will concentrate on upscale tapas

offerings, including meat, cheese, pate, and vegetable boards, along with a fresh soup of the day, fresh-pressed coffee and a dessert selection. All menu items will be locally sourced. “I’m looking forward to the creative opportunity and changing the menu often,” Kyriss said.

Nice, warm, healing

The star of the show, of course, is whiskey, and MacGregor’s will have more than 100 brown liquors on hand. That includes scotches from all six regions of

Scotland, Irish whiskeys, American bourbons and ryes, Canadian blended whiskeys, and several choices from around the world. MacGregor and Kyriss recently attended bartending school in Portland and used the opportunity to research myriad whiskeys. Favorites, of course, separated themselves from the pack. “I discovered Angel’s Envy Rye from Kentucky,” MacGregor said. “It was like a religious experience for me.” Aged in rum barrels, it has a strong rye taste, followed

by what Kyriss describes as burnt-caramel flavor. “We should have the biggest selection of brown liquors on the Oregon Coast,” MacGregor said, adding that there will also be a full bar available, including a few select beers and wines. “Overall, we want it to be a nice, low-key place to enjoy a quiet evening drink and talk,” Kyriss said. MacGregor is pleased the community has been overwhelmingly supportive and enthusiastic. He’s also happy to offer something the area doesn’t have yet, especially considering the warming properties of whiskey. “I’m a native, born and raised in Oregon,” he said. “It’s a very wet place, and whiskey is nice and warm and healing.” For more information, visit www.macgregorswhiskeybar. com for details or call 503368-2447.

HISPANIC COMMUNITY NOURISHES LOCAL SOCCER CULTURE BY JON BRODERICK FOR COAST WEEKEND

Some time back — Fergus Loughton and Jerry Boisvert, the institutional memory of the Lower Columbia Youth Soccer League, reckon it was roughly 15 years ago — the growing Hispanic community brought with it a festive ambiance to its men’s soccer games at the Warrenton fields. For many of us, La Liga games there with were our first trip to Mexico: Latin music played on car stereos, Latin fragrances rose from picnics, children scampered about their families, chattering in Spanish, while their uncles and fathers played teams that sometimes came from Longview, Washington, to compete on the immaculate youth soccer fields in Warrenton. Gradually, some of the more confident non-Hispanic players learned they were welcome and found their way onto teams. Wednesday nights in spring and summer were a soccer fiesta. Ultimately, though, the league become more competitive, more expensive and finally, a PHOTO BY GARY HENLEY

Continued from page 8 victim of its own success. It collapsed a couple of years ago under the weight of its two or three best teams. Local soccer culture, however, nourished by the Hispanic community, continues to flourish. At least three distinct, but complementary, mens’ soccer leagues have evolved locally since La Liga’s demise, each with its own appeal. Stroll by St. Mary Star of the Sea gym most any Sunday night, and you’ll hear gym shoes squeaking on the hardwood floor, punctuated by the frequent muffled concussion of cannon shots on goal. Inside, Alcones have a slim lead over Arnie’s Café. Come on in, have a seat. The second half has just begun.

‘ WELCOME TO PLAY’

A few years ago, the parish was exploring ways to make its gym more useful to the community. Someone asked Gustavo Velazquez. “You’re talking to the right person,” he said. Velazquez had coached youth soccer at the Lower Columbia Youth Soccer Association and, for 12 years, Astoria High School soccer with legends Boisvert and Bill Patterson. He saw an opportunity to create a local futsal league. “My son was going clear to Portland each week to play,” he said. “Why don’t we start a league here?” Futsal — played, often on a borrowed basketball court, by teams of ﬁve, with smaller goals and an appropriately deadened, smaller ball — rewards excellent technique: quick touches, precise passing, frequent shots, agile goalkeeping. At Star of the Sea, games start at 5 p.m. and continue on the hour until all eight teams have played. After 10 weeks, a short tournament between the top teams follows. Then teams reorganize, and, two weeks later, another season begins. Velazquez organizes, referees, plays, opens the gym, turns out the lights and builds relationships among folks from a diverse community. “Everybody is welcome to play,” Velazquez said. “This is for the whole community, not just the Spanish speakers.” Futsal players and fans, grateful for the gym’s shelter in winter, look forward also to games outdoors. Dave Plechl, a former NCAA player at Portland State and the coach of the youth soccer association’s U18 team North Coast United, admits: “Playing outdoors with a full-size ball in springtime air is where people want to be.” So, with the support of the Oregon Adult Soccer Association and the youth soccer association, Plechl has arranged a six-team league that plays Wednesday nights, two games at 6 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m., through June 14. Teams of seven play on a half-size ﬁeld, a natural extension of futsal. “Lots of decisions, lots of touches, lots of scoring opportunities,” Plechl said. He, like many players, continues to play futsal Sunday evenings. “Two competitive events a week is about what people want,” he said. “It’s good for the community. A lot of friends play against each other.”

‘MOMENTS OF BRILLIANCE’

About the time the spring outdoor season ends in Warrenton, another begins in Cannon Beach, where Wednesday evenings families gather to picnic and visit, and watch their friends and neighbors play soccer, eight to a side, on the long, slow grass of the city park ﬁeld. Leo Luna, who years ago, at 13, may have been the youngest player ever in the men’s league, organizes one of the six Cannon Beach clubs. “We’re not athletes. We don’t do this for a living. We laugh with each other. It’s something to do besides working. But there are moments of brilliance.” He laughs. “I scored a bicycle kick one time.” New fans will ﬁnd the soccer is satisfying, and the company is pleasant.

THE BISTRO: REVITALIZED AND REFINED

Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

ate last year, Jack Stephenson bought The Bistro in Cannon Beach. Prior to relocating from the San Francisco Bay area, Stephenson oversaw dozens of restaurants for a management group. Before that, there were stints at large hotel chains and Disney World. In these positions, Stephenson’s focus was on the macro: banquet events and corporate constellations that served thousands of diners each day. Now, while piloting an intimate restaurant in a small tourist town, he’s dealing in the dozens. Stephenson appears to be embracing these more direct connections. He regularly patrols The Bistro’s dining room and bar, introducing himself, describing dishes and listening. He makes a point of highlighting how he makes dishes his own. Indeed, Stephenson takes the work quite personally, entwining great pride and pressure. Perhaps after decades in the profit-driven, corporate world, Stephenson’s hands-on, one-toone immersion at The Bistro is an expected response. Here, he is reconnecting to the heart of the chef-diner relationship, a place where passion can trump the bottom line. After taking the reins at The Bistro, Stephenson rewrote the entire menu (save for the linguine, which was apparently too popular to let go). While at first glance the Bistro’s menu may appear ‘de rigueur’ for fine dining — steak, chowder, crab cakes, etc. — deeper inspection unveils clever tweaking. Fine ingredients aren’t enough; there has to be a swerve, a zig where others zag. He does so by layering techniques: Asian flourishes atop a base of French classicism. These signatures aren’t wholesale reinventions, but meaningful

nonetheless. A few holdovers of Bistro’s past remain in the simply dressed, softly lit restaurant, most notably staff and musical traditions. On Wednesdays, Thistle and Rose strum folk tunes that lead to dialogues and soft, breathy singalongs. On Saturdays, classical guitar nuzzles an already palpable romanticism. While unobtrusive, The Bistro’s live music is an undeniable mood elevator. Over the course of multiple trips, I found myself drawn to the bar side. And it’s worth noting: While the Bistro’s entrées can be quite spendy, there are some fine values found only in the bar. In fact, one of the most enjoyable meals I had was also one of the most thrifty. For less than the price of an average entrée I combined the Duck Confit and Warm Beet Salad ($11.50) with the Chicken Meatball Marinara Sandwich ($8.75, only available in the bar). With house-fermented cream, pomegranate seeds and duck fat vinaigrette, the duck salad contained multitudes. It was salty, earthy, tangy, acidic, creamy and a heck of delivery vehicle for beets. Cooked in luscious duck fat, how could it not be? The sinewy duck itself was rich and juicy. Besides sharp sweetness, the pomegranate seeds proffered a exciting textural pop. Listed as an appetizer — and, yes, it would be grand to share — the dish

Chicken meatball marinara

worked, too, like a dinner salad, one where health and indulgence meet. The bread on the meatball sub — like all the bread at the Bistro — is made in-house. In between were greens, an herby marinara smothering well-seasoned chicken meatballs and a cozy blanket of Gouda cheese. It was tall and sloppy, a finger-licking delight that flirted with simple perfection. At $8.75, I wouldn’t begrudge anyone who made it a habit. And with prices as they are — the “Cannon Beach price,” so to speak — a lower cost to entry is especially welcome. On the other end of that spectrum is the Caramel Chicken Vietnamese-Style ($24.75). It’s not the most expensive dish (that goes to the $32.50 New York Steak), but for chicken and rice there is some sticker shock (even if the chicken is “Mary’s air chilled organic”). The dish comes in two mounds: a bowl of chicken in bittersweet, salty, slightly spicy caramel sauce, and a hill of white rice crowned with kimchi slaw. The finger-like cuts of chicken maintained an proper ratio of meat to sauce. For the most part the dish

KEY TO STAR RATING SYSTEM

succeeds. Rice helps to fill it, and the sharp, acidic slaw helps cut the sweetness. But the slaw ran out quickly, and the sugar in the sauce began stacking up — never quite overwhelming, but losing its initial luster. The chicken, however, was the only minor misstep in the numerous meals I had at the Bistro. Otherwise, down to the complementary bread and irresistible garlic butter, I was blissfully at ease. The perky pear glaze of the supple, exquisitely charred Draper Girls Pear Brined Pork Chop ($25.50) was just an opener. I continued to smear the accompanying roasted garlic and tangy agrodolce — a balsamic reduction with raisins and onions — to great effect. A hockey puck of incredibly soft goat milk polenta was an excellent pairing. Its lean clarity played fantastically well with the supple pork (cow’s milk would’ve been too fatty). Like the duck salad, a lot was happening here, but humbly so. The pork chop was a dish that spoke softly but with great confidence and wisdom. But perhaps it was the Cioppino ($25.75) that is most emblematic

of Stephenson and the new Bistro. Ginger and daishi broth — a Japanese stock including seaweed and shaved, smoked tuna — blessed the fish stew with enlivened Asian inflection, adding depth and holistic complexity. There was rice, too, which, along with cubes of ahi tuna, prawns and scallops, made for a reasonably hearty bowl. On top, a raft of charred bread was plunged in, slathered with a roasted red pepper spread that matched the broth’s red hue but twisted its flavor. Like the best of the Bistro’s offerings, the Cioppino was clearly labored over, refined, multifaceted and distinct. For these are Stephenson’s goals. And while there remains some room for him to explore the more outer reaches of modern culinary creativity and local bounty, he has revitalized The Bistro in short order. It is nothing if not his own. It’s amazing what going small can do.
