DRIVE ON — LEARN ALL ABOUT CLATSOP COUNTY’S DRIVABLE STRETCHES OF BEACH By MARILYN GILBAUGH
Morning, noon or night, a 10-mile stretch of Clatsop County beach — from Gearhart north — can be accessed by passenger cars and trucks or what our lawmakers label “motorized vehicles.” Whether it’s a summertime day trip, an early morning clam tide or a glorious sunset in a secluded spot, with a car and a legally drivable stretch of beach, the good times roll in. In Clatsop County, driving is permitted on the beach from Gearhart’s 10th Street beach access north for about 10 miles to the Peter Iredale Road exit at Fort Stevens State Park. It’s open all year, 24/7. From mid-September through April, another four miles up to the jetty at the south side of the Columbia River is open to drivers all day, too. Thanks to the 1967 Beach Bill, the public has free use of Oregon beaches, which are designated as a state recreation area. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department regulates vehicle use on the beach through its ocean shore rules, and the state agency has established zones where cars are restricted or prohibited, taking into account concerts for safety, public access, scenic and recreation values, conservation and beach management. Speci¿c day-use permits to drive in restricted areas can be applied for at Oregon Parks and Recreation of¿ces. In Warrenton, drivers can apply for the permits at Fort Stevens State Park and at the Oregon State Police of¿ce at 2 20 S.(. Dolphin Ave., south of Costco. In Cannon Beach, drivers can apply for permits
M
at the Cannon Beach Police Department (though, you don’t need one in June during Cannon Beach’s annual Sandcastle Contest; it’s the only day of the year when driving and parking on the beach in Cannon Beach is allowed). Permits must be applied for in advance of a function for one-time daytime-only use, such as a wedding or getting your handicapped great aunt to a family reunion photo location. Some permits may require a certi¿cate of insurance. Information as to where and when you can drive is available online; there’s even an of¿cial Oregon state map too at www.oregon.gov/ODOT “The main problem with people driving on the beach is that, often, they don’t know how to,” said Jason Gardner who spends many summer weekends driving the beach in his bright yellow Jeep Wrangler, often lending a helping tow to a car in distress. “You never know what you’ll ¿nd on the beach,” said Astoria resident and frequent clammer Shelby Mogenson. Such was the case early one morning when Mogenson and her husband, Gary, were digging for razor clams at Sunset Beach. “I hear my Gary calling my name. I look in his direction and — whoa! — there’s a car in the water. A man had driven his car straight into the surf,” Mogenson recalled. “+onestly, my ¿rst disoriented thought was that the car had somehow popped up out of the ocean; one moment it wasn’t there, and then it was. There’s a guy alone in the car, and he can’t get his door

This motorist driving south on the beach near the Sunset Beach approach in August 2013 hit deep water, which turned his vehicle perpendicular to the ocean. Rescuers from Warrenton Fire Department, Oregon State Police and Clatsop County Sheriffís Office responded to the scene. No one was injured, and Classic Towing pulled the car from the water and towed it off the beach.
open because the water is halfway up to his window. Gary throws his clamming stuff up on the beach and runs out to get the car door open. He gets the guy out of the car.” /uckily, a police of¿cer patrolling the beach for clam limits drove by. He called in for additional help. “When we left, an ambulance and ¿re truck were on their way,” Mogenson said. “We don’t know what happened or why, but there was no sign of the car when we checked the next day. Hopefully the man was ¿ne and his car was towed.” So, what are guidelines you can follow so you don’t end up like that guy? Stay out of the ocean! Salt water and the undercarriage of a car don’t get along. (ven rinsing with fresh water can bring on rust. And, time and time again, seasoned beach drivers agree, four-wheel drive is by far the best choice for beach driving. Rear-wheel drive is OK, but a frontwheel drive car? Park and walk.
1ext tip DeÀate all four tires somewhere around 10 pounds. Tire pressure varies and can be found in your car owner’s manual or on a sticker on a car’s door. Decreasing the pressure allows the car to “Àoat” on the sand more easily. Don’t forget to reinÀate for pavement driving. There’s lot’s of information regarding deÀating tires available on the web. If you get stuck in the sand, don’t spin your tires. Continuing to hit the gas and spin just digs the car in further. It doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to go forward or backward; the real trouble starts as you dig into the soft sand. Whether you’re coming on or exiting off the beach, keep a low speed and keep moving forward — don’t stop. You never want to stop in dry sand. Choose the path most used by other cars; it’s usually the most packed down and easiest to drive. “Carrying a small shovel is always a good idea when driving on
the beach, particularly in soft sand,” said Oregon State Police Sgt. Tim Schwartz. “Where you enter and exit is important too. Gearhart, Del Rey Beach Road and Sunset Beach are usually good. Fort Steven’s can be iffy due to high use.” The speed limit is 25 mph on the beach. Turn your car lights on, and pay attention to pedestrians — kids and dogs are on the beach to play and that usually means running around. All rules that apply on Oregon’s highways apply to the beach; pedestrians have the right of way. Overnight camping is not allowed, but beach ¿res are allowed west of the dunes and any vegetation. The beach is patrolled and traf¿c tickets are steep particularly for driving in restricted areas. All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are not permitted. Remember, it’s always more dif¿cult to drive onto and off the beach than it is to drive on it. Know what you’re doing, observe the rules and enjoy the ride!

One-man drama takes Faun Fables brings Nonprofits can register for the stage in Nehalem mystical psych folk Gifts That Make a Difference Mark Johnson to perform as 30-plus characters in ‘I Am My Own Wife’
NEHALEM — How far would you go to be true to your soul? It’s an interesting question that may be answered Aug. 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21, when Rising Tide Productions presents the play “I Am My Own Wife” at the North Coast Recreation District’s recently refurbished Performing Arts Center. The play, penned by Doug Wright, features more than 30 characters played by one actor. It is based on Wright’s interviews with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a famous antiquarian born in 1930s Berlin as Lothar Berfelde. Charlotte discovers her female identity early in her youth. The play reveals the travails of her life. It shows how she survived the two most repressive regimes in history, the Nazis and the Communists. It makes audiences marvel at her ability to navigate prejudice and oppression without losing the essence of who she knows she is. “I Am My Own Wife” won a Tony Award for Best Play in 2004; that same year it became the ¿rst-ever one-person play to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Local actor Mark Johnson will perform in the production. “I Am My Own Wife” is being directed by veteran ¿lm, T9 and Broadway character actor George Dzundza. “This play should make us recognize that we as humans do not have to allow our society to mold us into two-dimensional creatures and hammer us into a box,” Dzundza said. “We all are multi-faceted and multi-dimensional, and we all have the ability be honest and

gentle with ourselves, to interact honestly and openly with each other, to not be too quick to judgment and to ¿ght injustice in our society in ways big and small.” Rising Tide Productions is a new, Netarts-based nonpro¿t organization of people who love theater and who are dedicated to supporting and furthering the dramatic arts by developing the acting and stagecraft skills of participants and bringing entertaining, enlightening and thought-provoking plays to the public. The theater production company aims to bring more dif¿cult or complex projects to the stage that audiences wouldn’t see in more traditional community theater venues. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at Bells Of¿ce Supplies in Tillamook by calling 503-842-5566, at Coast Real Estate Professionals in Manzanita by calling 503-842-0101, and at the door. The NCRD Performing Arts Center is located at 36155 Ninth St. The play includes adult content. For more information, call Mary Hanthorn at 503-842-5566.
ASTORIA — Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdhal, bewitching troubadours who perform as Faun Fables, will return to KALA to perform at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16. Fawn Fables’ new album “Born of the Sun” features the full-bodied beauty of McCarthy’s voice and the rich instrumentation of flutes, chimes, guitars and percussion. A new video for the track off the album “YDUN,” shown through the lens of a Super 8, captures the disarming beauty of the California countryside where the couple resides with their three daughters. Living off the grid, McCarthy and Frykdhal seek nature and the Earth’s allure to inspire their musical narrative. McCarthy crafts songs that relate to the spiritual nature of communal living and a life lived in the knowing intuition with nature. A musical and life partnership since 1998, Faun Fables have released six albums, and McCarthy has also recorded two albums

Two photography shows celebrate platinum and silver gelatin prints LightBox Gallery opens ‘Heavy Metal II’ and ‘Deployed’ exhibits ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will host the opening and artists’ reception of the “Heavy Metal II” and “Deployed” exhibits from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13. The exhibits feature a collection of photographic images printed using the historic platinum/palladium or silver gelatin printing process. Originally exhibited in 2012, the “Heavy Metal” show celebrates the beauty and craftsmanship of fiber silver gelatin and platinum/palladium prints. Practitioners of the art of the platinum/palladium process do so for their love and respect of the medium. LightBox honors those photographers that perfect the art of these century-old photographic printing methods. Both of these printing processes date back over a century, but today their fine qualities still make for two of the most treasured methods of printing in the photographic arts. The platinum print exhibits a fine gradual tonal range, one of its most special qualities. Even more remarkable, a platinum print has an archival stability rated in the thousands of years, making it one of the most beautiful and permanent of all photographic printing processes. In contrast, the silver gelatin print has its own beauty and has an archival stability rated at 100 years. LightBox has always exhibited the platinum prints of juror Ray Bidegain, of Portland. Platinum

and silver gelatin printing have been practiced in the LightBox darkroom for years. With LightBox’s love for these two historic photographic processes, the “Heavy Metal II” exhibit
was reborn. The exhibit is juried by Bidegain with over 40 photographers featured. Also opening on this night at LightBox is “Deployed: Haiti, Kosovo, Iraq,” a series of silver gelatin prints by photographer David Tucker of Seattle. The photographs were taken while Tucker was a member of the U.S. Army in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, from 1994 to 1995, in Kosovo in 2000, and in Baghdad, Iraq from May 2003 through March 2004. Heavy Metal and Deployed will remain in the gallery through Sept. 6. LightBox promotes the creative photographic arts on the North Coast of Oregon, offering memberships to help further the mission of the gallery. LightBox provides fine art reproduction, restorations, photographic printing and other photographic services. LightBox offers scanning, photo restorations, archival printing and framing. The gallery is located at 1045 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503-4680238 or email info@lightbox-photographic.com
Beaver artwork wanted for August 2017 art show NEHALEM — The Lower Nehalem Watershed Council is partnering with The Wetlands Conservancy to host a Beaver Art Exhibit and Sale at the North County Recreation District during the month of August 2017 as part of a number of exhibits around the state. The project sponsors are seeking artwork of all kinds for the Nehalem exhibition: photographs, paintings, prints, cards, quilts, etc. that depict beavers and wetland habitat. They can be in any style ² realistic, abstract, whimsical, collage, etc. Three-dimensional pieces could be ceramic, wood, fiber art, or other media. Artists can choose to sell or display their work. A percentage of sales will help support the conservation activities of The Wetlands Conservancy and
Lower Nehalem Watershed Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the preservation, protection and enhancement of the Lower Nehalem Watershed. An opening reception, presentations and tours are also being planned. Interested artists should contact Sara Vickerman by email at svickerman@ comcast.net or by calling 503-936-4284. The Beaver Art Exhibit and Sale at the NCRD in Nehalem is just one of several art exhibits planned throughout Oregon by The Wetlands Conservancy’s Beaver Lodge advisory group in honor of International Beaver Day on April 7, 2017. Events will kick off in February with a reception, exhibit and sale at Oregon State University’s LaSells-Stewart Center.
Other exhibits and events will be held in Lake Oswego, Seaside and at the Oregon Zoo. The beaver, Oregon’s state animal, has been woefully misunderstood and blamed for dam building, flooding and munching on plants. In fact, Oregon beavers, nearly extirpated by trappers by 1900, create wetlands, spawning and rearing habitat for salmon and steelhead, habitat for insects, birds and amphibians, and create pools that keep water clean and moderate fluctuations in water flow. They are nature’s hydrologists. There is growing appreciation and recognition of the positive benefits that beavers play in Oregon. The planned art exhibits in 2017 are a way to raise the profile of beavers, wetlands and Oregon artists.

“Tanz” is both the German word for “dance” and a duo featuring Charlie Watkins on accordion and Judy Eron on oboe.
Dance to a tango with peninsula duo Tanz LONG BEACH, Wash. — You usually see this duo as part of a country band, so you may wonder where the cowboy hats and boots are. However, one and a half minutes into the music, you’ll forget about cowboys and be hankering instead for a rose between your teeth. “Tanz” is the German word for dance — it’s also the name of this musical duo Charlie Watkins on accordion and Judy Eron on oboe. Tanz will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13 at The Cove Restaurant at the Peninsula Golf Course,
located at 9 Paci¿c Ave. Watkins and Eron will play passionate music for the listening enjoyment of diners as well as those who must dance when they hear a tango or a waltz. The tangos were written in Argentina as well as in Finland. The waltzes come from Norway, Venezuela, Italy and Mexico. Watkins and Eron live on the Long Beach Peninsula and perform each Saturday at the market at the Port of Ilwaco as part of Double J and the Boys, their longstanding trio with Janet Clark.

ASTORIA — Astoria artist Terrie Remington has lived an artist’s life from a different time and era. She will celebrate her 80th birthday at a reception open to the public during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk, 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13 at Luminari Arts. The reception will feature her artwork in the show “Living on the (dge,´ which reÀects her philosophy of living with one foot up in the air. From early childhood in a basement of a New York City brownstone, Remington has been creating art. Her ¿rst memories are of World War II air raid sirens and her mother struggling to feed the family during the Great Depression. But during that time she created her ¿rst mural in her kindergarten classroom. She knew she was an artist. Adventure and study called her to travel. In Puerto Rico, Remington developed the sculptured painting medium style. Her use of sculpture and color explores the elusive connection between the spiritual and physical art form. During an 11-year residency in Spain, Remington studied at the Esquela de Bellas Artes and opened a gallery in Barcelona during the military dictatorship of Francisco
Franco. After his death, Remington sold paintings to the Duquesa de Villalba for the soon-to-be new King of Spain Juan Carlos. Remington lived as an avant-guarde artist. She traveled the world, spending time with climbers of Mt. Everest, learned Àamenco dancing, and skied the major slopes. She owned a gallery on the Costa Brava in Spain and had annual shows in Madrid. But, constantly, she felt the urge to move. In San Francisco she reestablished her art sales and studied with Frank Milner. She painted murals in Tahoe and Mendocino, California. In the 1980s, she established Uptown Gallery in Port Townsend, Washington. Then it was on to Seattle. In 1996, Remington opened a home studio in Cannon Beach, ¿nally moving to Astoria in 2000. “This town has it all,” she says. “I always lived the life of an artist with the thought I would live hard and die young. I now realize that living hard can also mean living longer and dying harder. “But Astoria is a wonderful place to be for the last place I live. There is a peace here, and I no longer dream about where to go next. It is the ¿rst time that I have felt I am home.”

Seaside gears up for world’s largest beach volleyball event The 35th annual chamber event set for Aug. 11 to 14 By KATHERINE LACAZE FOR EO MEDIA GROUP
The Seaside Chamber of Commerce intends for the 35th annual Seaside Chamber Beach Volleyball event to revolve around one primary principle: an exceptional player experience. For this year’s upcoming event, that means better pacing at the tournament and using updated technology. Seaside’s beach volleyball event — recognized since 2011 as the world’s largest beach volleyball tournament by the World Records Academy — will take place Thursday to Sunday, Aug. 11 to 14. More than 3,000 players on about 1,450 teams are expected to attend. The event also draws large crowds of family members, friends and random spectators. The tournament includes players of all ages, with the youth divisions becoming the focal point in terms of consumer demand. Most of the 14-year-old brackets were the ÂżUVW WR ÂżOO XS DQG WKH ER\V youth divisions have grown exponentially from last year, according to Brian Owen, the chamber’s executive director. With that burgeoning demographic in mind, Owen said, the chamber knew change was necessary to improve the player experience. To help bring the volleyball event up to speed this year, the chamber hired new tournament directors: NWAS and Bad Boys Open Volleyball, two Portland groups operated by Deng Thepharat, PT 7KLODYDQK DQG 0LNH *ULIÂżQ who are active members of the volleyball community and former players at the Seaside tournament. “Those three individuals really have helped us move the event into a technolog-

The chamber received feedback last year that some event participants were not pleased with how late the JDPHV ZHUH ÂżQLVKLQJ QRU WKH system of communicating a team’s next match.

This method virtually held participants “captive on the beach,â€? Owen said. “We were trying to do business the way we would want to do business, and that
wasn’t our consumer,â€? he added. This year, the chamber will be using a smartphone application to keep players informed about their upcoming matches. Players also can report their scores at one of three stations diversely located at the north side, south side and middle of the playing area. This new system will free up players to leave the beach and eat, shower, visit the city or do other activities in between their matches. The chamber also has improved communication through its website and is publishing the HYHQWÂśV ÂżUVW 3OD\HUVÂś *XLGH with court information. As for getting play to end earlier each evening, the chamber added an extra day to the event. “The games were not ending until after dark,â€? Owen

Owen said. “We have the best players for both the men’s and women’s brackets playing on center stage.â€?
Burgeoning youth participation
The doubles divisions include the majority of participating teams. Registration for the whole event may be down a little this year, “because families were used to playing Friday,� instead of Thursday, Owen said, but organizers still anticipate upward of 1,450 teams. Players had until July 31 to register.

The Seaside Chamber of Commerce’s beach volleyball event is in its 35th year and draws more than 3,000 players from across the country.
For average spectators who want to watch good matches, Owen would suggest keeping an eye on the youth players, or the 14- to 16-year-olds. He would not give names, as the players are minors, but he said some of the best Northwest players, in addition to clubs from Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles and other large cities, are attending the Seaside event. Because many of the youth are working toward obtaining scholarships to play collegiate beach volleyball, they compete at a high caliber. “This is an event that a lot of these clubs come to so they can play each other at one location, rather than having a lot of travel to other areas,� Owen said. The fast pace with which the youth divisions are growing also is drawing more college scouts and sponsors to the Seaside tournament.
In the adult divisions, there were no brand name adult players yet registered, but some of the better doubles teams from last year, such as British Columbia’s Dan and Sean Casey and Eric Brewer and Aleksey Kruglikov, plan to return. In an effort to provide newcomers to the sport the chance to learn and play, the event will feature a court, sponsored by Providence Seaside Hospital, that is speFLÂżFDOO\ GHVLJQHG IRU QRYLFH players. “We truly designed this year with the player experience in mind,â€? Owen said, adding organizers want to give the event a fun and exciting vibe — “a youthful vibeâ€? that will appeal to the young players who are becoming the lifeblood of the Seaside tournament. “(That vibe is) the laugher, it’s the fun, it’s the enthusiasm of the event and the day.â€?

The story of the festival’s conception dates back to 1894, when two Astorians were casually talking about boats.

Today, the Regatta draws locals from both sides of the river and even some out of town travelers. The word “regattaâ€? means to actually race boats, which has also played an integral part in the background of the festival. Saturday and Sunday there will be sailboat races that can be viewed east of the Astoria-Megler Bridge. The Astoria Yacht Club is presenting the races, which are sure to be fast, wet and full of excitement.

Since the beginning, there has been a Regatta queen to head the events. Last year Allison Bentley won the crown, and now she will pass down her title to one of the
Bridge Anniversary

Tourist No. 2
Prior to the completion of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, which stretches over 21,000 feet, the only way travelers could get across the Columbia was by ferry boat. It’s a way of travel many today have grown-up without experiencing, but a few still remember dearly.

Early on the morning of Aug. 1, a crowd gathered at 17th Street dock in Astoria. Anxiously pacing, everyone stretched their eyes downriver to try and make out a long overdue return. Around 10 a.m., the crowd cheered when the Tourist No. 2 pulled up to the dock. Two crewman aboard the 92-year-old boat had made the voyage from Bremerton, Washington to bring back the ferry that had once taxied residents from one side of the river to the other. The ferry’s return has been a year and a half in the making. Now the historic boat has arrived just in time to take part in Astoria’s celebration of maritime heritage.

The old boat will be included in the Astoria Regatta Highwater Boat Parade, which takes place at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Clowns
Throughout the festivities, be sure to keep an eye out for the Astoria Clowns. They are fun group of jokesters who have always been an important part of the town’s history. In fact, former Astoria Mayor Willis Van Dusen said, “Without the Astoria Clowns, we would not have the Astoria bridge.� The clowns were huge promoters of the bridge when it was still a plan on paper. To get the town on board for funding the bridge in the late 1950s, the clowns painted their bright yellow Chrysler to say “Let’s Build The Bridge.� Right after the final completion of the bridge, the clowns were one of the first cars to cross over it. Legend has it there were 15 of them in a car that was supposed to seat seven.

Island-inspired eatery delivers new flavors to Seaside Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM
L
Let the parade of new restaurants continue! This week it’s the Lilikoi Grill, a Hawaiian-inspired joint in downtown Seaside. It’s in the middle of a block of Broadway that might as well be known as McKeown’s Ave — the family owns four eateries on the block, including the neighboring Irish Pub, Firehouse Grill and Nonni’s Italian Bistro. The Lilikoi, which opened in May, inhabits the back-half of what used to be McKeowen’s. The family’s former namesake restaurant was paired down, and by simple virtue of offering a different culinary inspiration — colorful, fruity and loosely island-based — the Lilikoi is a welcome change. It’s smaller than the IRUPHU À DJVKLS ZLWK KLJK FHLOLQJV and a beach-y, if a tad cheesy, island decor. There’s thatch, seashells and green leaves in a building whose seeming original inspiration was the French Quarter. In design, Lilikoi doesn’t go full tiki, but the bar does offer a smattering of cocktails featuring fruity nectars. I began with the Rum Punch, a pre-mixed, syrupy sweetener with an umbrella skewering a cherry and slice of pineapple. With hints of orange, banana and pineapple, I found LW D ¿ QH YDOXH IRU RQO\ The Crispy Coconut Shrimp ZLWK 3DSD\D 0DQJR &KXWQH\ arrived shortly thereafter — four of them, breaded with fried coconut, EXWWHUÀ LHG DQG HQRUPRXV VSULQNOHG with green onions and a few more À HFNV RI UDZ FRFRQXW 7KHVH ZHUH serious-sized crustaceans, but there was quite a bit of breading too. The fried coconut tempura batter had a nice crunch and wasn’t too oily, but I could’ve done with less. And ZLWKRXW WKH EXWWHUÀ \LQJ 7KH DFFRP panying mango chutney was overly sweet, smacking of corn syrup or simple sugar. I wanted more pep. But still: The shrimp and their coconut crust hit the requisite marks.
The entrÊe, though, went beyond. It was, in the end, the star of my multiple trips to Lilikoi. I speak, of course, of the Braised Glazed Pork 6KDQN It came standing up, planted in a pile of whipped red potatoes, bones in, with a little crown of micro greens. It was massive, the diameter of a softball, full of meat, well-cleaned and covered in a lightly sweet veal demi-glacÊ. The À HVK SXOOHG HDVLO\ IURP WKH ERQH hardly resisting, no knife required. It was salty, tender, succulent and multi-faceted. The outer-layer had a crispy char while the center was oh-so soft — braised, then seared.

An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.� In writers like Kerouac and Bukowski, Nebeker says he found, “these strange gestures of writing. They were not on solid ground.

The songs in “And Then Like Lions,� Blind Pilot’s new album, are, “strung together through themes of loss and courage, and the idea of looking at loss from all angles, not just the sorrow and grief, but also from the perspective it gives you in life and closeness to community and family.� About three years ago, Nebeker lost an important relationship. At the same time, his father was diagnosed with the cancer that would take his life. “I went through a chapter of my life where those were the things coming to me. I hadn’t really experienced
loss in that way before,� he says. He found it strange that he had no vocabulary for it. “Our culture doesn’t have a good vocabulary for loss, especially death. It’s not easy for us to share,� he says. In the course of experiencing loss and learning to speak of it, Nebeker achieved a perspective that pervades the third Blind Pilot album: “I wanted to make an album that was an invitation into conversation about loss, from a perspective that it’s not nearly so hard if we experience it together.� Nebeker first found a sense of community in Gearhart, where he grew up, writing his first songs as a teen to sing to friends around bonfires on Little Beach. “‘And Then Like Lions,’� he says, “is about what it means to be with each other, and place, and home.� It’s been five years since the last Blind Pilot album, in part due to the losses that led to “And Then Like
Lions.â€? Nebeker scrapped some of the first ideas he had, and band members needed time to work on personal and family issues. Now, though, the band’s fall tour and Astoria CD release concerts Aug. 19 and 20 approach, and Blind Pilot is eager to be back touring. “We’re rehearsing a lot, figuring out how to play the songs live,â€? Nebeker says. “We recorded them to the album, and now it’s a different story.â€? Blind Pilot has been around eight years. “I’m incredibly fortunate to make a living doing it,â€? says Nebeker. “It’s super fun but a lot of work.â€? More important than longevity or work, though, is the opportunity he has to relate to the community, sayLQJ Âł,WÂśV DVWRQLVKLQJ WR ÂżQG I can write something that other people can relate to.â€?

BROWNSMEAD — The Nature Conservancy invites anyone interested in preserving Blind Slough Swamp, located in Brownsmead 15 miles east of Astoria, to participate in a volunteer work party on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20 and 21.

On Saturday, volunteers will work with the North Coast Land Conservancy pulling weeds by foot, and on Sunday volunteers will search for, dig up and haul out the invasive plant by canoe. Volunteers should bring
work gloves, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, rubber boots, raingear, food and water. Participants are also welcome to bring canoes if they have them. Registration is required at nature.org/oregonwork parties For questions, contact 503-802-8100 or email volunteers@tnc.org; or call Debbie Pickering at 541994-5564.

Bring on the jazz Outdoor concert features live music and local oysters
OCEAN PARK, Wash. — Let loose and get your jazz on at the Water Music Society’s 31st annual Jazz & Oysters event Saturday, Aug. 13. This scenic outdoor concert, located on the sprawling green Wilson Field, serves up a variety of delights from 2 to 7:30 p.m. In addition to lively music, listeners can enjoy Willapa Bay oysters, grilled sausages and a selection of side plates. Wine, beer and other beverages are also available. One of America’s original art forms, jazz was born from a mix of African and European music and is rooted in the black experience of New Orleans as far back as the late 19th century. It has always been interrelated with pep
and energy, yet it’s dif¿cult to de¿ne because of its mix of creativity, soul, romance, intellect and groove. At 2 p.m., begin your groove at Jazz & Oysters with James Danderfer, who has twice been nominated as best jazz clarinetist by the National Jazz Awards. Danderfer is also an award-winning ¿lm composer. With his quintet featuring New York-based musician George Colligan, Danderer will impress with his original music as well as with New Orleans-style funk, electronica and hip-hop. Taking the stage at 4 p.m. in their natty suits and natural style will be Jacob Miller and the Bridge City Crooners. The group’s silky smooth vocals will take you on a sentimental journey back to the 1920s. No matter what the day’s weather may bring, you are guaranteed a little sunshine through Miller’s original compositions and

ragtime tunes. The Crooners maintain the stamina only the most devoted players can pull off, and you may even ¿nd yourselves wanting to dance. The 6 p.m. evening performance will showcase jazz legend Thara Memory, who not only leads the Thara Memory Superband but will also blow you away with his trumpeting skills. Memory has played with some of the greats, including Dizzy Gillespie and James Brown,
and regularly performs with The Mel Brown Septet. Willamette Week labels Memory as “the brightest star in the Portland area.” Joining him onstage is his daughter, Tahirah, who will end the concert in style and give audiences a greater appreciation for the continuing improv that is jazz. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or favorite blanket. No outside food, beverages or pets are allowed. Gates open
Jacob Miller and the Bridge City Crooners will bring sounds straight out of the 1920s.
at 1 p.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. Oysters, grilled sausages with beer and wine will be served all day. Small plates and desserts are available from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for children ages 6 to 18; children under 6 are free. A portion of the proceeds will go to support the Ocean Beach School District’s music program. Tickets are available online at watermusicfestival. com or at the gate.

Snakebites at the Fort ANTHEM A snakebite, which originated in the U.K., is a pint glass of 50/50 lager and hard cider By RYAN HUME For over two years now, this monthly column has solely dedicated itself to the Hard-A alchemy of our talented local mixologists and their tireless efforts to dream up and discover both new and old ways to layer liquor upon liquor, cut with any number of mixers and enlivened with infusions and extracts galore, often housemade. I have come to consider myself something of a cocktail guinea pig (I always let the bartender pick their poison with as little coaching as possible, placing an emphasis upon signature drinks, customer favorites and seasonal delicacies), and I have learned much of what I know about the science of spirits by listening to the knowledgeable bar women and men of the North Coast. But this is not to say that I don’t occasionally just yearn for a good pint or a tall boy. Living in Astoria, which seems to have one church,
brewery and pot shop per every five residents, the hop-minded are eternally rewarded with a variety of complex and unusual brews. Entering August 2016 and hoping for some truly warm weather before the summer slips away like so many of July’s clouds, my mind inevitably turned to the beer cocktail — the lemonade-punched shandy, or the michelada, that sudsy Mexican cousin of the Bloody Mary. There’s never been a better friend to have around on a hot, sweltering day than a beer cocktail. Beer: You know, it’s for what ales ya. So I approached Fort George, figuring the North Coast’s veritable brewery behemoth, which boasts three separate menus, a number of lecture series and charity events and a rotation of employee-curated and locally inspired one-off batches, might be down for the challenge. After chatting up a few servers, who assured me many a customer enjoys personalizing a pint out of what is available on tap, I settled into an experimental round of snakebites. Two out of three of these experiments centered around some new batches of sours that the Fort has been playing around with as of late, with one

low-volume IPA thrown in for good measure. Traditionally, a snakebite, which originated in the U.K. — home to only one venomous snake, the adder — is a pint glass of 50/50 lager and hard cider, but many variations had already appeared internationally, including a stout-and-cider combo stateside, prior to Brexit. The Fort keeps Anthem Cider on tap, which ferments a semi-dry from apples grown in Oregon and Washington right out of Salem. With an alcohol by volume of 5.0% to 6.5% per batch, this crisp cider formed the control group for the following concoctions. What variations occurred relied upon what was available on tap at Fort George as of Aug. 1 and on the various beer-to-cider ratios applied. Like I said above, I have often felt like a guinea pig doing this column, but with so many sample glasses laid out on the bar before me, this is the first time I have felt like a kid with a chemistry set. My results and musings are listed below and are based on trying three different beers mixed with the same cider at two different ratios: 50% beer to cider and 75% beer to cider. The ABV of each brew is listed along with the board description of the beer. Precision is not necessary to recreate these experiments — to each their own palate — but, whether by Fort tap or by can or bottle pulled from the cooler, peer review is encouraged.

++++++++++++++++++++++
CIDER
PLUS ++++++++++++++++++++++
Anthem Cider + Brown-eyed Girl: 4.6%, sour brown ale Anthem Cider + Suckerpunch: 4%, lemon and lime zest kettle sour
Anthem Cider + Overdub IPA: 4.5%, mellow, pristine, passionfruit
Notes: Really, the Suckerpunch packs such a strong, citrusy left hook that the 50% and the 75% ratios made little difference, though the 75% ratio did feel just slightly heavier, beer-wise, on the back end. Overall, flaxen and effervescent, like a carbonated glass of lemonade — the closest thing to a shandy on this list — the 50/50 was my personal favorite of the entire flute, but I may be biased simply because I like the idea of a drink called Snakebite Suckerpunch being in existence.
Notes: Honestly, I’m sure this would work for some, but the 75% pour of this long-session IPA reminded me that there are floral and citrus notes in dirt — it’s that earthy. The beer itself is great, but when mixed with the cider at this level some eruption of hoppiness occurred against the cider that I frankly did not care for. In complete contrast, the 50/50 pour was the most traditional snakebite of the bunch and something that I would certainly hold in hand on a hot summer day.
Notes: I could rip off a bunch of Van Morrison quotes to describe the distance a single sour can go while traveling the distance between the top of a tooth to the back of the esophagus. Into the mystic, anyone? Sours are unusual. I’m just getting to know them. This one is brown and round until the end, where it takes a sharp nod up toward your sinuses. The 75% pour remained tart, playing off the malic acid in the cider, but weighed down the tongue with the full-bodied richness one would expect from a brown. The 50% on the other hand was sweet, crisp and malty: overall, pretty well balanced and rich.
