NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Hiking Tillamook Head It looms south of

Seaside, a tall, tree-covered promontory overlooking the ocean.

The headland makes a great background for pictures on the beach. The wind and waves at its base create perfect conditions for water sports.

I’m talking, of course, about Tillamook Head. I hiked up the iconic hill last weekend.

Though you can start south in Ecola State Park and work your way north, I started at the Tillamook Head Trailhead in Seaside and made my way VRXWK 7R ÂżQG WKH WUDLOKHDG turn west on Avenue U, then south on Edgewood Street, and follow it to the end.)

The trailhead sits opposite a gated development. You head up and switchback. Ecola Point is 7 miles south; Hiker’s Camp is about 4 miles.

There are about 16 or so switchbacks as you work your way up, passing through Sitka spruce, alder, ferns and salmonberry vines. Keep going.

Soon, trail splits in a short

loop; climbing right leads to the summit of the head and a glimpse of the drop below. The main trail continues, leveling, dropping and rising through mossy woods. Sunlight brightens the trail in patches. The green underbrush is vibrant with summer life.

At one point, a squirrel scurried out from the underbrush onto the trail and jumped up on a nearby stump. It froze.

I froze. After a moment of slyly regarding each other, I took one step closer, and in a blink,

Rebecca Sedlak COAST WEEKEND EDITOR rsedlak@dailyastorian.com Mr. Squirrel was gone.

Lewis and Clark forged their way over Tillamook Head in January 1806, and at times on the trail, following their footsteps feels quite literal.

You walk between two sides

of a trail that are intent on converging, leaves and branches brushing your shoulders as you duck. You climb over or crawl beneath fallen logs.

Salute America with patriotic concerts North Coast Symphonic Band plays Liberty Theater, park

ASTORIA and CANNON BEACH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The public is invited to a free concert of patriotic, pop and classic wind band music by the North Coast Symphonic Band at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 3 at the Liberty Theater.

This celebratory concert is free courtesy of the continuing support of NCSB patrons. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. The preshow will feature local vocalist Deac Guidi singing his favorite Broadway tunes at 7 p.m.

Dave Becker of Manzanita and resident conductor and musical director of the NCSB has programmed a concert themed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salute to America.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This concert features pure â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Americanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with lively, entertaining selections from

Broadway to Sousa. Even the lesser-known pieces have wellknown tunes that tie into the theme,â&#x20AC;? Becker says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The narration and sentiment of Aaron Coplandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful and moving â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lincoln Portraitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; provide a more serious side of what we celebrate on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national holiday.â&#x20AC;?

Guest artists include Guidi and cornet soloist Joan Paddock. Guidi is a frequent performer at the Astoria Music Festival and most recently made his debut with the Portland Opera. Paddock is music professor at LinÂżeld College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pairing a terriÂżc vocalist with a Âżne concert band for a celebration of American music is a natural winner and offers variety for the audience,â&#x20AC;?

Becker says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tradition of featuring a virtuoso trumpeter for a patriotic concert-in-thepark-style concert goes back more than 100 years in our band tradition. Paddockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performances with us are always

stunning, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to feature her musical Âżreworks again.â&#x20AC;?

RiverSea Gallery hosts Jewelry Trunk Show Meet jewelry-maker Judith Altruda

ASTORIA — Judith Altruda will present a new collection of her one-of-a-kind jewelry in a trunk show at RiverSea Gallery from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 28.

The gallery regularly offers a selection of her jewelry, but this is an opportunity to view work while meeting the artist. Champagne and light refreshments will be served, and the trying-on of small adornments will be much encouraged.

Altruda hails from Tokeland, Washington, a small ¿shing village nestled in the far northern reach of Willapa Bay. In the studio behind her home, she can view the waves, sand and sky that inspire her designs.

Over the years, she has moved beyond her formal training as a goldsmith and gem setter to specialize in metalsmithing techniques that were ¿rst used thousands of years ago. Using simple tools and long processes, she fabricates jewelry from silver, gold and copper.

The artist delights in using found and worn treasures as gems in her designs. A

ring might be set with a simple black pebble she found on Empire Spit, an island near her home, or perhaps vintage sea glass from England.

However, Altruda doesn’t shy away from using rare and beautiful gemstones in her work and often plays with unusual combinations, such as an opal with beach pebbles. She particularly loves to juxtapose twinkling diamonds with a corroded orb of mysterious sea glass.

Ever on a quest to explore metalwork, Altruda spent the winter studying traditional Japanese patina processes from a book. A patina is created through oxidation and adds color to metal.

Over several months, and using speci¿c materials that included copper pots, grated daikon radish, vinegar and imported Japanese ingredients, she experimented with developing a beautiful color on shibuichi, a Japanese alloy of copper and silver.

“Every part of the jewelry-making process is pretty much about control and technique. Until we get to

patina,” she says. “This is unpredictable territory ¿lled with variables. It is a mysterious and intuitive process. It is a collaboration of science and art. It is magic, pure and simple.”

Later this summer, Altruda will travel to Ireland to study Celtic chasing with renowned silversmith Brian Clarke. Chasing is an ancient technique used to achieve a sculptural relief on the surface of metal, and Altruda is excited about the dimension this will add to her future designs.

Who knows what treasures will be created when Japanese patina becomes melded with Celtic chasing and ancient Greek forging in the little studio in Tokeland?

Voodoo Room hosts The Slow Poisoner ASTORIA — The Voodoo Room will welcome the Slow Poisoner for a free performance at 9 p.m. Saturday, June 28.

The Slow Poisoner – aka Andrew Goldfarb – is a oneman surrealistic rock ‘n’ roll band from San Francisco who has been playing to audiences all over since 1996.

His songs are psychedelic Àowers sprouting forth from a soil rich in traditional American music but grown twisted beneath morbid rays of black sunshine. He strums his guitar and hollers while kicking a drum, making a sound like a hoedown on Mars – rootsy, but weird. ,nÀuences include Johnny Cash, Alice Cooper, the Cramps, Roy Orbison, Bela Lugosi and The Doors.

In concert the Slow Poisoner comes across like a latenight horror movie host or a creepy camp counselor as he employs a variety of bizarre

props, ranging from painted signs and dancing spiders to a giant monster head that devours him onstage.

The Slow Poisoner started out as the leader of a ¿ve piece band, The Slow Poisoners, named after a chapter in

Charles Mackay’s 1854 book “Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds,” which detailed a murderous fad among 17th century European wives.

Over the course of 10 years the group slowly became thinner and thinner. Since 2005, Goldfarb has gone it alone, touring frequently and playing venues that range from libraries to science ¿ction conventions, beauty parlors and laundromats.

This will be his third time in Astoria. The Voodoo Room is located at 1114 Marine Drive.

Order a malt or milkshake concocted from ancient machines at Custard King. (Yes, sometimes hipsters do use umbrellas.)

orrection on the contention: Astoria is the No. 1 Oregon Coast destination for Portland hipsters.

Since I moved to Astoria last fall, I have seen hundreds and hundreds of hipsters sashaying the streets with their canes, moccasins, Walkmans, umbrellas, piercings and other accouterments. In Newport, where I previously lived for six years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I never saw a single one! Obviously the word is out.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked with many of the hipsters, and dig their dispositions. They clearly love Astoria, generally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about Lewis and Clark, salmon or visiting the Astoria Column, and spend a lot of money here.

I suppose the only thing that concerns me is that I always encounter them in the same establishments, which are very cool indeed, but certainly not the whole story.

By limiting themselves exclusively to the restaurants, shops and bars written about ad nauseam by outsiders, I believe vacationing hipsters are missing out on a richer Astoria hipster experience.

All they need to achieve more authen-

ticity and enlightenment is follow the eight-fold retro path Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve bushwhacked. It will guide them down the Astoria hipster road not yet taken, and no, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the strip club.

In many locales around town, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practically a vortex of retro but without any affectation whatsoever. I mean, Astoria is probably the last place in the country with paperboys delivering an afternoon edition of a newspaper on foot!

The food truck PHENOMENON Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This is part one of a twopart series. Read part two next week.

A

Although the idea of mobile dining is hardly a new concept (think drive-ins and waitresses on roller skates), the number of food trucks and take-out only restaurants is on the rise.

I attribute it mainly to the economic downturn that started in 2008, which prevented many aspiring restaurateurs from investing the serious capital that is required to get a brick-and-mortar establishment up and running. Mobile food trucks are certainly a less expensive way to introduce your food to the public in a down economy (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any item at the three places Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reviewing here is over $10).

Beyond that, mobile food venues have taken a surprising, inspired turn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think interesting fusions of cultures and genres (duck tacos? Falafel crepes?), and quite often, gourmet ingredients are prepared and sold for far less than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see in a restaurant.

Summer has come to the coast, which means two things: One, our local dining establishments are suddenly going to get very busy, and two, we might actually get some decent weather for a change. What this means is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect time to get outside and explore the food truck offerings up and down our coastline, and surprisingly, there are many. In this two-part series, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be doing just that.

Gourmet ingredients are prepared and sold for far less than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see in a restaurant.

The Curbside Grill

3909 Pacific Hwy â&#x20AC;˘ Seaview, WA 98644 Open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let its location in the parking lot of the Shell gas station fool you. The Curbside Grill means serious business, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seriously tasty. The owner pays tremendous attention to detail and is committed to using 14 | June 26, 2014 | coastweekend.com

only high-quality ingredients in his sandwiches, soups and burgers.

My favorite sandwich to date is the grilled pastrami, which features thick, hearty, juicy strips of pastrami, grilled onions, and yellow mustard on a hoagie roll.

I once asked the owner where he gets such wonderful pastrami, and he said he goes out of town often to a bigger city, where choice cuts of meat are readily available.

The burger, which can come with a variety of toppings, including sautĂŠed mushrooms, is one of the better burgers Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sampled locally, with a near-crisp sear and well-seasoned meat.

For a guilty splurge, try the onion rings, which feature a delightful crunch and a tasty batter, or if you want to feel really, really guilty, try the hand-cut French fries with homemade chili and shredded cheddar on top.

They are enough for an entire meal, and with the chili on top, you can almost fool yourself into thinking theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good for you.

No matter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every single offering I have tried at the Curbside Grill is outstanding.

Surfer Sands

1113 Pacific Ave. S. â&#x20AC;˘ Long Beach, WA 98631 360-642-7873 Open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Surfer Sands is a take-out stand that is known for its authentic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, as well as a variety of other sandwiches and salads. All the bread used for sandwiches is homemade, and there are many fun variations on the Philly for those who are adventurous (such as bacon, mushrooms or sriracha sauce).

I prefer mine to be traditional and simple, so I order the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big kahuna,â&#x20AC;? with grilled steak, onions and peppers smothered in provolone, inside a homemade bun and wrapped XS WLJKWO\ VR WKH Ă&#x20AC; DYRUV FDQ UHDOO\ PHOG If something lighter is more your speed, try the â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn turtleâ&#x20AC;? sandwich, with thick, juicy slices of turkey, Swiss cheese, cranberry sauce and fresh spinach salad. The classic BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich is a perfect, standard choice, only made better by the bread.

Paired with a bag of chips and a cold soda on the side, these sandwiches are simply unbeatable.

Helmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio-friendly blend of rock and pop infuses memorable guitar riffs, catchy sing-along choruses and lyrics with real stories of love, pain and starting over.

Growing up just outside of Chicago, Helmer was passionate about writing and playing music early on, beginning with the drums at age 5. But in his early 20s, Helmer got sidetracked from his dreams, trading his vision for the promise of a rewarding career as a business entrepreneur.

Success led to his climbing the ladder in the high-pressure culture of corporate insurance.

After a bright beginning, however, a downward-swinging economy turned Helmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world upside down in a rel-

In 1843, a settlement called Oregon Country developed along the Willamette River. The name Portland was later chosen for the town in 1845. Building docks for WKH VKLSPHQW RI OXPEHU ÂżVK wheat and produce became a top priority.

Until 1848, the yearly arrival of vessels along the Columbia River totaled anywhere from three to eight. By 1849, there were more than 50 ships berthing along the riverfront, and it is against this backdrop that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maritime Historyâ&#x20AC;? begins.

Portland was the major SRUW WKURXJKRXW WKH 3DFLÂżF Northwest until the 1890s, when railroads opened up harbors in Seattle. The city was not only the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers but also home to much of American maritime history.

Portland ship building started in 1840 with construction of the schooner Star of Oregon, and, more than 100 years later, three shipyards would build 621 ships for the war effort.

Both before and after World War II, several steel and iron companies used the harbors in Portland for manufacturing.

Take ‘39 Steps’ to the Coaster Theatre Hitchcock play opens, runs all summer

CANNON BEACH — Mix an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have “The 39 Steps,” a fast-paced whodunit. The play opens this weekend at the Coaster Theatre.

The suave, yet bored, Richard Hannay eyes a mysterious woman at the theater, but returns to his London townhouse – where the woman turns up dead.

With no more than that, he ¿nds himself on the run as a mysterious spy organization alternately pursues and is pursued by him, from London to Scotland and back, as he ¿ghts to clear himself of the murder.

Along the way, he is hindered and helped by the beautiful, upstanding Pamela who, despite her best efforts, ends up shackled, literally, to a man she thinks is a murderer. Meanwhile, the police and the mys-

terious spy organization are closing in on Richard.

Coaster Theatre Executive Director Patrick Lathrop will direct this play. Lathrop is also an actor, costumer and educator and holds a Master of Arts in costume history and design.

Richard Hannay will be played by David Sweeney. This is Sweeney’s15th summer season at the Coaster. Last summer he was seen as Dr. Chasuble in “The Importance of Being Earnest. Sweeney also appears in this summer’s production of “Into the Woods.” Off stage, he is the pastor at Calvary Episcopal Church in Seaside.

Not only is Lisa Fergus appearing as Cinderella in “Into the Woods” and as Annabele/ Pamela/Margaret in “The 39 Steps,” but she is also preparing to make her directorial debut with Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” this Christmas season – all at the Coaster Theater.

In real life, Fergus is a referral coordinator for Providence in Seaside.

Ellen Jensen, who plays a clown in the play, moved to the North Coast in 2006. Student and waitress by day, she spends time at the Coaster when not trying to ¿nd secret entrances to Narnia, getting the one ring to Mount Doom, or running an institute for gifted youngsters. She’s played a number of roles including Sally Brown in

“You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.”

As a youth, Ben Van Osdol began spouting prose and twisting phrases, creating awe and wonder wherever he went.

Now often disguised (he plays a clown in “The 39 Steps”), he spends his time spreading joy and laughter in the world. He has appeared on the Coaster Theatre’s stage in many forms.

By day, he is a kind, quiet gentleman who saves damsels in distress by changing their tires at Les Schwab.

Stage management is by Josh Loring. Sets are by Dmitri Swain. Lighting is by Mick Alderman. The play is sponsored

by Keith C. Schnip, The Ocean Lodge, Inn at Cannon Beach and Lodges at Cannon Beach.

“The 39 Steps” runs June 27 and 28; July 2, 5, 10, 12, 18, 20, 24, 26 and 30; Aug. 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 27, 29 and 31; and Sept. 5. All performances start at 7:30 p.m.

In praise of rain on the Fourth of July Dear Coast Weekend Readers:

Sonny, the husky, has some different plans for the Fourth of July.

My name is Sonny and I am a dog, an old and invalid husky. My owner, Matt Love, is a regular contributor to Coast Weekend, but I write too (although he doesn’t know it), and I contributed this piece surreptitiously because of Matt’s disdain for the impending Fourth of July celebration, which as all of you know, is very, very hard on dogs. I know this from painful experience.

Last year, fireworks on the Fourth almost killed me. It was only Matt taking me down to the beach at two in the morning that ended my seizure.

We just sat there and rode it out, and he told me the story of how earlier that evening he rescued a threelegged mutt on Newport’s Bayfront that got spooked by the fireworks and jumped out a car window. He later reunited the dog with his drunken, clueless masters.

As Matt always says, “Sometimes you have to protect dogs from their own curiosity and the carelessness of their owners.” It’s pretty much a full time part-time job for him these days.

A few days ago when Matt was taking a nap in his favorite driftwood fort on Clatsop Spit, I pawed through his journal and came across this passage. Yes, I read, too.

“A Prose Poem in Favor of Rain on the Fourth of July” “I love when rain beats down on the Fourth of July and how rain renders patriots, parades, jingoism, and fireworks utterly impotent, squashing their noise, colors and cheer. I relish

the frowns of little children, wet paper plates, dripping flags, and soggy hamburgers trembling in the hands of senior citizens. I envision vacationers stuck inside on their phones with the coastal blues again, vowing never to return. Disneyland forever! And yes, Sonny the ancient husky relishes it all too, because she loathes the Fourth of July as much as I do, but does, occasionally enjoy the tasty remains of hot dogs abandoned near smoldering campfires on the beach.”

That’s pretty harsh and uncharacteristic of my owner. I’ve known Matt for 15 years now, he held me as a puppy, we’ve rambled thousands of times down Oregon’s publicly-owned beaches, and I don’t really believe he wants to ruin a holiday for the overworked American workers who don’t enjoy half the vacation time as their slacker socialist counterparts in Europe.

I think all he honestly desires is that people practice common sense and confine themselves to watching the big shows of fireworks and not rudely set them off in tranquil neighborhood places or remote beaches where old dogs and reclusive writers reside. And I hate to say this, but it’s typically the tourists who perpetrate the obnoxious deed, particularly the young goateed and rotund dads documenting the whole affair on their phones.

How would you like it if we came to your suburban cul-de-sac and blew off some M-80s and bottle rockets at 10 p.m? What would your city’s police force do? They’d be issuing stiff fines.

This Independence Day, Matt’s taking me deep into the Coast Range, far, far away from the miscreants and fireworks. He’s summoned an army of driftwood fort fairies to join us, too.

They texted and said they’re coming.

They also loathe fireworks. It should be nice and quiet up in the woods, except for the noise of our silent party, and perhaps even, the sound of falling rain.

Sincerely,

Sonny
