Thanks all ’round

Assistant editor Quinn

TODAY Towers is ďŹ lled with thanks this week. Firstly, thanks for the sterling work of Daily Astorian Managing Editor Laura Sellers-Earl and Coast Weekend Editor Erick Bengel, who ďŹ lled in while assistant editor Quinn and I were gallivanting around California on our annual houseboat trip to Lake Trinity. The pair of us skipped town leaving little more than a back-of-theenvelope sketch of what we

from the editor wanted the July 7 edition to look like, but these two managed to get it to the press on time and in style. And this week we at EO Media Group bid farewell to a man who was no stranger to deadlines throughout his 44year career in the newspaper industry. John Perry, who served as EO Media Group’s chief operating oďŹƒcer for the past 12 years, has oďŹƒcially turned in his Oregon GoreTex and headed south for a well-

earned retirement in Palm Springs. John’s leadership and trust in the TODAY team have been instrumental in the paper’s success since we joined the EO Media Group family back in 2012. His wisdom and guidance will be missed, but we look forward to taking the TODAY to new heights under the leadership of our new chief operating oďŹƒcer, Heidi Wright. For now, here’s a glimpse at the send-o we gave John.

Casting about, without a ‘Doubt’ T

Father Flynn

imes are growing just a bit tense these days as the crew behind Rising Tide Productions readies to open the Pulitzer Prize- and Tonywinning play, “Doubt, A Parable.” They’ve been at work on the play for just short of a year, logging long months of planning, rehearsing and attending to myriad tasks that often translate to sacrifice and headaches. It’s not an unusual picture on the Oregon Coast where theater companies seem to abound. But here in Nehalem at the newly remodeled Performing Arts Center, there is, perhaps, just a bit more jitter than the usual soon-to-be opening night nerves. This cast and crew are doing it all under the scrutiny of veteran Hollywood actor George Dzundza. You know Dzundza from his acting roles in TV and film, including “The Deer Hunter,” “Crimson Tide,” and “Basic Instinct,” but these days he’s known as the director, and for a lucky few, acting coach. “Working with George is like taking an acting class,” says Sue Meyers Neuer, who plays Mrs. Muller in the play. “He has extremely high standards and is a perfectionist. He can be intimidating to some who take his comments personally. He is brutally honest sometimes, but he is always right. He has a keen eye for details and wants the actors to be the best they can be. This is the second time I have worked with him and I would do it again in a heartbeat.” As a young man, Dzundza didn’t envision a career in acting, rather, he says, it came after he was blackmailed. It happened as he stood in line for college freshmen orientation. “This blond walks up to me and says you have to come and audition for this play.” “Not happening,” Dzundza replied. “She said if you don’t come audition I’m going to tell your professors and they’ll flunk you out of school,” Dzundza said. So he auditioned and won a part. “I go to this play and I get that adrenalin rush and I said, ‘Oh my goodness, this is great.’ Once you find something and you love it, you go, ‘Wow I like this’.” Which is not so different to his response to the Oregon Coast, where he has made his home for the past decade or so. “I feel like I am in heaven on earth here,” says Dzundza, who was born in Germany and raised in New York. “I see the community here functioning

like I always hoped America would function. There is enormous generosity. Neighbors going out of their way to help neighbors. Having come from a city like New York, where you are out alone in concrete and steel, or you go to L.A. and you can’t get anywhere without a vehicle … To come here and be able to breathe the air and look at the ocean and bay, the greenery. And the quiet. To hear the birds singing in the morning. I just consider it a blessing.” Curtains open on “Doubt, A Parable” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturdays, July 14-29; and at 2 p.m. Sundays, July 16-30. Expect to see an edgy,

thought-provoking production that asks, “What do you do when you’re not sure? When evidence is slim and consequences are severe, how do you find justice and protect the innocent?” “We tend to take plays that have a harder edge and are thought-provoking,” says Dzundza. “Hopefully people will benefit from it and it will spark conversation in audience members themselves to examine their own values.” These past 10 months have seen challenges, struggles, growth and rewards. And when it’s finished, Dzundza hopes they’ll do it all again. “When you are trying to achieve something, it can be frustrating,” he says. “The time frame and ability to achieve are limited by life going on around the people involved. The rewarding part of it is when someone gets it and says ‘Ah, I don’t need you anymore.’ That is wonderful to see, to see someone fly on their own. They spread their wings so to speak. What is always true is you give it your best shot. All you can do is give it your best shot. It’s all part of a process. You progress and you keep making progress. That’s the point, it’s progress not perfection. Keep going forward; never give up. Lori Tobias is the author of the novel “Wander” and a journalist of many years. Follow her at loritobias. com.

Yachats Music Festival goes out on a high note

T

By Barbara B. Covell here is a certain power in music. Its language knows no borders of race, culture, gender bias or age discrimination. The musical experience can inspire emotional journeys, evoke longforgotten memories and heighten awareness through lyrics, melody and creative performance. Music is mutually inclusive between the artist and audience, and may inspire the human experience forever. It was this belief that motivated Dr. W. Hazaiah Williams, a visionary, educator and gifted impresario in Berkeley, California, to develop a world-class music festival on the Central Oregon Coast. Now in its 37th year, the Yachats Music Festival features internationally acclaimed instrumental and vocal talent for a weekend of solo and ensemble performances in an intimate, pastoral setting. Each of the four meticulously crafted weekend concerts contains a formula which honors the founder’s vision, carried on by his colleagues and staff at the nonprofit Four Seasons Arts, Inc. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 7, 8 and 9, the Yachats Music Festival will returns for its 37th and final year — a grand finale, with 21 artists representing multiple genres of music taking a final bow.

Soprano Ilya Martinez and baritone Rafael LeBron have performed in 33 of the 37 Yachats Music Festivals, delighting audiences with their joy, indefatigable hard work, artistic growth and ineffable chemistry. “This festival is an oasis in the midst of our individual careers,” Martinez said “It is refreshing for us to make a halt in our lives and prepare for our dear family of artists and the grateful receiving audiences. It is inspiring, but challenging also, as all creative endeavors are work. The nucleus of artists at this festival are ready to offer the best of their art.” Martinez and LeBron feel that the choice of repertoire is one of the most important factors which defines the Yachats Music Festival. “The works selected, how they are sequenced in each concert program, the honesty with interpretation and audience response are key aspects,” LeBron said. “Where can you find a festival that features art songs from around the world in original languages? Opera, oratorio, operetta and zarzuela, spirituals, American song book, Broadway, string quartets, cello sonatas, clarinet and flute concerts, piano classics, contemporary songs, Chinese ancient instruments, harp and

flamenco?” The festival also includes four daytime seminars for Patron ticket holders offering a deeper study of the music. This year’s seminars are presented by pianist Leon Bates; soprano Ilya Martinez and baritone Rafael LeBron; pianist Rochelle Sennet; and violinists Anyango Yarbo-Davenport and David Burnett, violist Ayn Balija, and cellist Elaine Kreston. Among the artists featured is Yachatian pianist Milo Graamans,

who made his festival debut in 2012. He will perform Chopin, Joplin and Debussy over the course of the weekend. The concerts are at 8 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus a 2 pm Sunday matinée. Concert program details are available at www. fsarts.org Tickets are $20 apiece for each concert or a Member ticket to all performances is $85. Seminars on Friday and Saturday begin at 10 am and 1 pm; a Patron pass for

AN INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR A world of cuisine awaits area diners at Newport’s Café JJ Ho Story & photos by Angela Nebel For the TODAY

F

or the 40 seconds that Chef Jeremy Ho cooks his favorite dish on the menu at JJ Ho Café International, he has laser-like focus. No talking, no multi-tasking — his concentration is perhaps the most important culinary skill in turning out one perfect calamari steak. “My style is quite different than most restaurants,” he remarks one mid-afternoon in the gap between lunch and dinner service. “I have always loved calamari steak, but they cook easily and if you overcook it, it is like a rubber band. Every degree of temperature makes the dish different.” Opened last September, this cozy Newport bistro seats 30 within walls adorned by photos, clippings and reviews of Ho’s distinguished career as a chef — first in Hong Kong and later in Seattle. The menu is diverse but don’t look for predictable restaurant standards at this hidden gem. “I could be the only restaurant in town that doesn’t serve french fries,” he notes with a laugh. “There is no ketchup in this house.” Instead, diners are greeted with daily lunch and dinner specials or invited to choose off a menu of seafood, steak and poultry. Dishes like Dover sole roulade with smoked salmon mousse moutarde, Pommery orange duckling, and Moroccan flavored chicken roulade stuffed with zucchini spinach are a beautiful feast for all five senses. The menu, which is both eclectic and exotic, is also reasonably priced. The highest ticket entrée is less than $20 and there are plenty of options in the $12-to-15 range. Located in a small strip mall, it’s easy to drive by JJ Ho Café International. Restaurants are abundant on Highway 101, but Ho’s international flare and his love of good ingredients translate into a unique offering for the Oregon Coast. “I cook the way I want and people come to try my food,” he said. “I have cooked over half the world, in different hotels and with different chefs, mostly in Europe, and we communicate differently with our own language, but we share the passion of food.” He is also ardent about innovation in

his cooking. He equates ingredients with exploration and never passes up an opportunity to visit a different grocer or ethnic store to find a new element for a dish. “I hate to follow tradition,” he said, before conceding that some dishes qualify as “classics” and they, by definition, are not meant to be changed. Do something different with a Caesar salad, he notes, and it is no longer a Caesar salad. At 64-years-old, Ho can still remember the first time he ate an oyster. “I made a funny face,” he said, inserting a dramatic pause, “and then I asked for more. That’s how we open our minds to something new.”

Asked what ingredient he couldn’t live without, the chef reflects for a moment and then lists two ingredients on his must-have list: wine and garlic. Ho’s love of food comes naturally. He spent his childhood in the restaurant his family owned and describes his father as one of the best chefs in Hong Kong. “I was a helper in the restaurant when I was six or seven years old, but I wasn’t really a helper,” he said. “They just kept me busy because my father didn’t want to hire a babysitter.” Even though he spent parts of his adult life in pursuits outside of the kitchen, he kept coming back to the culinary world.

“I am just a guy trying to make a living and the only way I know is cooking,” he said.” The only thing I know is food.” That connection between family and food continues today. Ho is joined in his Deco District restaurant by only one employee — his son, Jonathan. The two men share a commitment to converting visiting diners to repeat customers by delivering a deliciouslyunique dining experience. In this day and age, customers often pick up a camera or cell phone before reaching for the fork. Ho puts it more poetically, remarking that “the camera eats first” and recognizes it as a compliment, knowing that people want to show their friends a good meal. “You don’t get a second chance when you cook for people,” he said, imparting a wisdom gained through a lifetime of feeding people around the world. “You had better do it right the first time. And you had better do it right every time or you just shouldn’t do it at all.” JJ Ho Café International is located at 715 SW Hurbert Street, Newport, and is open from noon to 2:30 pm for lunch and 4:30 to 9 pm for dinner, Tuesday through Saturday. For reservations, call 541-272-9463.

For the TODAY

he first day was too foggy, the second too windy, but the third day was juuuust right. I had placed my trust in pilot Meyer Puzon to make the call on when I would get to experience Newport and its environs from the sky. “You can grow up here and not realize how beautiful it is from the air,” said Holly Nehls, who helps schedule the scenic flights provided by Konect Aviation from the Newport Airport throughout the summer. “The waterfalls, clear blue water, secluded beaches; it’s pretty amazing.” Although I didn’t grow up here, I’ve lived here long enough to agree; the coastline between Lincoln City and Newport, which I’ve driven countless times, really is stunning from the air. And if you have a particular view in mind that deviates from the normal tour route, the pilots do what they can to make that happen. “We have no problem modifying the tour as long as it’s within the regulations we have to follow,” Puzon said. “I even had a customer

who wanted to check out a property he was thinking of buying.” The most popular request though is simply to go over the ocean to catch a glimpse of some of the area’s most popular residents. “The best thing we see when we’re up there are the whales,” Puzon said. “We don’t see them all the time, but when we do, it’s pretty special.” Nehls occasionally gets to get out of the office and take a trip, too: “I got to see a whale north of Newport playing on the ocean side of the rocks,” she said. “That was the coolest thing I’ve seen.” For Puzon, the customers are definitely part of why he loves to take to the sky. “One of my favorite flights was with an 88-year-old man who had

“I found out they were built only three years apart.” Flights for up to four people at a time can be scheduled ahead or you can take your chances and just show up between 10 am and 5 pm. “For walk ins, your best chance to find someone here at the airport are on Thursdays through Sundays,” Puzon said. “But we will schedule flights any day of the week, if you call first.” Weather is also a factor and can cause cancellations. “We’re fairweather flyers,” Nehls said. Although the company also provides helicopter and longer, private charter flights, the excursion tours that leave from the Newport airport, which typically take about 30 minutes, are in small, single-propeller

been given the trip as a gift,” Puzon said. “He hadn’t flown in 20 years, and was elated the whole trip — it was fun to see him enjoying it so much.” Puzon takes safety seriously, but that’s about it. “Once I had a father and daughter in the air with me on a pretty bumpy day,” he said. “On final approach to the airport, the Dad said, ‘I don’t want to say that someone had their eyes closed the whole time,’ and I answered, ‘I was hoping you didn’t notice.”” Puzon has also learned a lot about the area over which he flies since the company, based in McMinnville, started its coastal excursions last year. “I love to point out things like the Yaquina Bay and Yaquina Head lighthouses,” he said.

planes. “In our small aircrafts, people can see what they want to see,” Nehls said. “They are also more affordable than helicopter tours.” As someone who has taken flying lessons, I can attest to the fact that Puzon, who has been flying for 13 years, takes the pre-flight checklist very seriously. And although he warned me that the approach back to the airport would be bumpy, and he wasn’t wrong, I felt completely safe in the small plane. And I’m pretty sure he had his eyes open the whole time. The Newport Municipal Airport is located at 135 SE 84th St. in South Beach.

Adrift in masks and fibers The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts presents “Needle and Crooked Knife: Exploring Northwest Art in Fiber and Red Cedar” by Tina McCann, from July 7 to September 2 in the upstairs gallery at the New Visual Arts Center. The exhibit includes masks and fiber wall art by the Depoe Bay-based artist. An opening reception is 5-7 pm Friday, with an artist talk at 6:30 pm. The gallery is open noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. “The series, ‘Needle and Crooked Knife,’ has been my journey into Native American art forms,” says McCann. “A crooked knife is used in the process of hollowing the back of masks. Fascinated by the stylized forms of Northwest art, I began carving masks five years ago.” One of McCann’s masks is titled “OR7,” honoring the first wolf to wander Oregon since 1947. McCann was born in Akron, Ohio, and, after exploring various mediums, focused on painting while attending the Cooper School of Art in Cleveland. She reports that she occupied for 10 years building a sailboat, followed by 10 years living aboard. In 2007, she and her partner unexpectedly came ashore in Newport and have lived on the central Oregon Coast ever since. “We decided this must be the time and place to become land-based with a studio larger than a chart table.”

potpourri Get smart about getting fresh seafood Scout out a good drama in Tillamook Dock tours in Newport show consumers how to buy off the boat

Have you ever wanted to buy seafood right from the boat, but weren’t sure what questions to ask or what to look for? Have you ever stood at a seafood market staring at all the choices, but not been sure what was local or in season? This summer is your chance to learn more about buying seafood. Experts with Oregon Sea Grant and the Oregon State University Extension Service will demystify the process during free, guided dockside tours in Newport that connect seafood lovers with commercial fishermen. Oregon Sea Grant and Extension have been offering the tours — called Shop at the Dock — every summer in

Newport since 2014, but this year, the event expands to Warrenton. During the tours, participants learn what seafood is in season, how it’s caught, if it’s sustainable, and how to identify and buy high-quality fish and shellfish. Last year, the tours drew more than 350 people, said Kaety Jacobson, an Oregon Sea Grant marine fisheries specialist with Oregon State University’s Extension Service. Dates for the Newport tours are July 14, 21 and 28, and Aug. 4, 11 and 18,

with groups departing from Dock 5 at 9:30 a.m., 10 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. each day. The 90-minute tours are free and on a first-come, firstserved basis. In Newport, registration is required only for groups of five or more by calling 541-574-6534 ext. 57427. Participants are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes with traction, arrive 15 minutes early, and bring cash and a cooler with ice. For disability accommodations, please call the number above.

elcome to the very first edition of At the Edge, your monthly guide to everything fun to see and do at the Oregon Coast. Since 2005, the Oregon Coast TODAY has been singing the coast’s praises loud and clear throughout our coverage area from Yachats to Manzanita — highlighting attractions and events in communities including Lincoln City, Newport and Tillamook. Now, through our partnership with Pamplin Media Group, we are thrilled to spread the word further afield, helping you plan your trips and experience the coast at its very best. This month, we are proud to showcase the coast’s maritime heritage, with a feature on the upcoming Dory Days Festival in Pacific City as well as a visit to the Garibaldi Maritime Museum. We also check in with two coastal music events at very different stages in their lives — the Manzanita Music Festival, which is entering its second year, and the Yachats Music Festival, which is preparing for a grand finale after 37 years of bringing world-class performers to the picturesque town. Don’t forget to make time for a visit to Rusty Truck Brewing in Lincoln City, where the brew crew is developing a very special lager to mark the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse. And, at the center of it all, our handy calendar centerspread lays everything out week by week, so you’ll always know when to head west and join us at the beach. Patrick Alexander editor & publisher AT THE EDGE is a publication of Oregon Coast TODAY, based in beautiful, oceanfront Lincoln City.

FLEET STREET Dory Days on the horizon in Pacific City

P

By Ann Powers acific City locals are more likely to know each other by their dory boat names, rather than what their parents decided to call them at birth, according to Nancy Bush. And she would know — Bush was one of the first women to go out commercial dory fishing off the sandy beaches of Cape Kiwanda nearly 50 years ago. “Once a dory woman, always a dory woman,” Bush said. “It’s beautiful out there. It’s just a different way of living.” From Friday, July 14, to Sunday, July 16, the public is invited to experience that unparalleled lifestyle during the Pacific City’s 58th Annual Dory Days; a threeday celebration of the dory fishing. Hosted by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association (PCDA), the theme for this year’s festivities is, “Let the Good Times Roll.” Which they most certainly will, given the event’s family-friendly, fun-filled schedule including an old-fashioned parade showcasing a fleet of authentic dories, an artisan fair, fishing competition, pancake breakfast, fish fry, filet contest, dune climb, live music, kids activities and more. “It’s usually a pretty big draw to the area,” said Melita Spath, Dory Days co-chair. “It celebrates tradition and teaches youth about those traditions. We have a very unique history.” The dory originated from the turn-of-the-20th-Century surf dories and Nestucca River gill net boats that sold fish to the salmon cannery established in 1887, according to the PCDA. After 1927, commercial fishing was only allowed in the open ocean. Because the Nestucca had a shallow and dangerous bar accessible only at flood tide, a new larger surf boat was needed — and the “double ender”

was born. It was pointed at both ends, had two sets of oars, and could be rowed through the Pacific surf and out to sea. A motor well near a square stern was added later on. Small outboard motors were installed after negotiating the surf, for fishing during the day and removed when

rowing back to the beach. The modern Pacific City dory is open hulled and flat bottomed. It’s pushed or rowed into the Pacific surf, until deep enough to drop the outboard motor, and then powered through the surf into the open ocean. But even with motors, many dory men and women still row through the surf like their ancestors before them. “We never had any problem,” said Bush, who can filet a fish in 23 seconds flat and still fishes occasionally with her family on their boat named Short Shot — which is also Bush’s nickname. “It was fun. But, boy, it was hard work.” The dory fleet is also well known for its stellar safety record and committed call to action. Local officials said dory men and woman are frequently the first responders to distress calls and other marine emergencies. Dory Days started in the ’50s as the “Fly-in Fish Fry.” While many things have changed, the fry has continued almost every year since the festival’s debut. This year, the fish hits the pan from 11:30 am to 6 pm at the Kiawanda Community Center. Children’s activities are also scheduled during the feast. The Pacific City Dorymen’s Association was founded in 1996 with the primary mission to preserve and protect the historic traditions given to the community by the pioneers of the dory fleet. Dory Days is a significant part of that preservation and protection. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department recently added the Dory Days Parade and Festival to Oregon Heritage Traditions, a short list of events that encapsulate the character of the state. “This is our 58th year and it’s really important to keep our heritage going,” said PCDA’s Randy Haltiner. “This event represents our whole community. We’re teaching our kids and grandkids about our traditions in Cape Kiwanda.” The PCDA will operate a booth to answer questions from the public and have display of dory boats in the Cape parking. Spath said Dory Days proceeds benefit community events, scholarships and the Dorymen’s Association. For more information, go to www. pcnvchamber.org/event-calendar.

TUNE IN FOR A TUNE UP OF THE SOUL The Manzanita Music Festival returns for its second year By Ann Powers Photos by Anthony Pidgeon Beth Carter-Boyer is giving back to the coastal community she says saved her life… after her oldest son, Alex, lost his in 2015 at the age of 28. “I was devastated,” Carter-Boyer said. “If I had not been living in this community, I’m not sure I would have survived.” But she did, in part, by channeling her energy and savings into founding the Manzanita Music Festival — which made its debut in 2016. Drawing on her professional experience in corporate events planning, coupled with Alex’s personal love for music, CarterBoyer created the event to celebrate the profound power of music. “Music was something that was really important to my son,” she said. “Music, I feel, is essential to wellness

and it shelters, heals and connects us all.” This summer the melody making kicks off Friday, July 21 and runs through Sunday, July 23, in both Manzanita and Nehalem. The all-star lyrical lineup includes a potpourri of Americana, country, jazz, rock, reggae, funk, indie and bluegrass. The music will start at 5 pm on Friday at the Rex Camp Field in Nehalem. Groups taking the stage that night include Scratchdog Stringband; Will West and the Friendly Strangers; Jessie Leigh Band; and the Paul Chesne Band. Food, beer, wine and other beverages will also be available at the field. Organizers encourage participants to, “Bring your lawn chair, blanket and dancing boots!” The event’s second day rolls out in downtown Manzanita at 11 am, with musical performances and vendor booths as well as a Kid’s Zone sponsored by the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD). “It’s a cultural contribution to the

community,” said NCRD Director David Wiegan. “It’s part of what makes this special community what it is.” Saturday’s daytime headliners include Sedona Fire Band; Rhythm Method; Tony Smiley; Leslie Mendelson; and Kate and The Crocodiles. From there, the melodies meander back to the Rex Camp Field for evening concerts including Rainwalkers; Beth Basille & Co.; The Early Stuff; Leslie Mendelson & Paul Chesne; and Strange Tones. On Sunday, July 23, the festival tunes up again in downtown Manzanita from 11 am to 5 pm with Lauren Sheehan; Bluejug; Jazzitude; Countryside Ride; and Patrick Lamb. And it’s not just fest-goers who are anxiously awaiting to the event’s second year. Performers are also keyed up to return to the North Tillamook County stages, set against a breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Neahkahnie Mountain.

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs

“Kate & The Crocodiles are excited to play at the Manzanita Music Festival again this year,” said Kate Morrison, the trio’s lead vocalist. “It has been great to be part the festival’s growth and we are impressed that the Manzanita community is embracing the festival organization as they work toward making a difference in the community through music education and outreach.” This year’s festival will also feature live art, sculptures, jugglers, fire spinners, merchandise and more. Celeah Norris, a University of Oregon junior majoring in environmental studies and art, is the event’s art coordinator.

“It’s important to just celebrate who we are as a people,” Norris said, adding she hopes her position will become an internship for future art students. “Art and music brings people together where they can just be themselves. It’s a form of freedom and really makes [life] worth living.” And fest officials want to spread the love. Carter-Boyer said part of this year’s proceeds will help develop music and artistic opportunities in local schools, as well as music therapy programs for senior citizens and people with disabilities. The Manzanita Music Festival recently obtained its nonprofit status and donations to the organization can be tax deductible. “It’s meaningful to do this kind of work,” she said. “So many programs don’t get enough dollars and get cut.” Tickets for the 2017 Manzanita Music Festival are $25 per person in advance and $35 at the gate.

RUSTY TRUCK SHIFTS GEARS LINCOLN CITY BREWPUB REVS UP PRODUCTION WITH 20-BARREL SYSTEM Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ans of Rusty Truck Brewing’s Cherry Chocoholic Baltic Porter had reason to celebrate this February, when the distinctive beer took the top prize at the KLCC Brewfest in Eugene, arguably the largest and most prestigious beer festival in Oregon. And beer lovers can enjoy a celebratory pint of the top-rated tipple any time they like thanks to the brewery’s new 20-barrel system, which allows it to brew the previously seasonal ale all year long. Brewmaster Jonathan Anderson said that in addition to expanding its range of year-round flagship beers, the new system allows the brewery to take things to the next level in distributing throughout the state. “It transformed us from a brewpub where most of our beer was going next door to a brewery where we are able to keep up with the demand for distribution elsewhere,” he said. Anderson has scaled up the recipes for longtime bestsellers including the fragrant Moonlight Ride Blackberry Ale, the hop-filled Road Wrecker IPA and the Fender Bender Amber Ale, with its floral nose and hints of caramel. A larger brewing capacity also means bigger batches of Rusty Truck Brewing’s popular seasonal beers, which Anderson said used to sell out within two weeks of hitting the taps. Current offerings include the Strawberry Wheat Tonic, a 5.3-percent brew with an effervescent quality that reminded Anderson of a summer spritzer. Also currently on tap is a Cascadian Dark Lager, a refreshing, hoppy brew known to East Coasters as a black IPA. Brews currently making their way

through the system’s gleaming tanks include a tart and lemony kettle sour and a New England-style hazy IPA. Also known as a ‘juicy IPA,’ the hazy brew is unfiltered and packed with flavor, thanks to a late infusion of hops. “More experimentation has allowed brewers to discover that you can extract flavors right to the end of the boil,” Anderson said, adding: “It doesn’t extract so much bitterness. You get more floral and

tropical fruit flavors. It’s going to be cloudy and flavorful.” While cloudy is OK in the pint glass, the whole coast is hoping for clear skies on Monday, Aug. 21, when the highly anticipated total solar eclipse will make landfall just a few miles south of the brewery. Businesses have been urged to prepare for an influx of visitors and Anderson has already started working on an ale fit for such a momentous occasion. Made to a

German Schwarzbier recipe, his Eclipse Black Lager will offer guests a suitable dusky drinking experience, enlivened by a hint of blood orange to represent the glowing corona. Guests who have trouble picking a single beer from the growing lineup can take their taste buds on a tour with one of the sampler trays that are fast becoming one of the restaurant’s bestselling items. Served in a rugged metal rack that perfectly fits the restaurant’s full-throttle atmosphere, each taster selection includes eight three-ounce samples, perfect for seasoned beer aficionados and newbies alike. Manager Branden Fowler said beer is the lifeblood of the restaurant, making its way into

more than 70 percent of the menu items on offer. “We cook our St. Louis-style ribs in it, slow and low; we cook our pork in it for pulled pork; our corned beef; and the sauce for our Cavatappi Crusted Mac and Cheese. We also use spent grain from the brewery in our bread and our pizza crusts.” And for diners looking for a full pint to accompany their meal, Fowler has a few suggestions for parings that will make the most of those flavor connections. “I’d go for the St. Louis-style ribs with the Fender Bender Amber Ale,” he said. “It’s cooked in it, so it already has the essence.” Meanwhile, the batter used in the halibut and chips is made using Road Wrecker IPA or its slightly tamer cousin, the Cruiser Sessions IPA, making either of them the perfect accompaniment. And for guests intrigued by offerings from the restaurant’s brick pizza oven, Anderson recommends something crisp and refreshing to go along with it, like Low Rider Lager “Our lager is made Mexican style, using corn rather than rice,” he said. “It goes really well with the crust and the marinara sauce.” With pizza and beer already covered, the restaurant offers the final party component with live music every Saturday night. Rock and blues have long been the favorites, but Fowler said music fans should stay tuned for a more diverse lineup this summer and the return of Friday night music. “We are going to be experimenting with some new musical talent,” he said. “A lot more contemporary, a little more cultural.” Rusty Truck Brewing is located at 4649 SW Hwy. 101.

“The memory of the Yachats Music Festival is like the flower which blooms only once a year, whose fragrance is everlasting. It leaves footprints that will be difficult to reproduce, but every other festival would love to have them.” Ilya Martinez and Rafael LeBron

Yachats Music Festival goes out on a high note

T

By Barbara B. Covell here is a certain power in music. Its language knows no borders of race, culture, gender bias or age discrimination. The musical experience can inspire emotional journeys, evoke longforgotten memories and heighten awareness through lyrics, melody and creative performance. Music is mutually inclusive between the artist and audience, and may inspire the human experience forever. It was this belief that motivated Dr. W. Hazaiah Williams, a visionary, educator and gifted impresario in Berkeley, California, to develop a world-class music festival on the Central Oregon Coast. Now in its 37th year, the Yachats Music Festival features internationally acclaimed instrumental and vocal talent for a weekend of solo and ensemble performances in an intimate, pastoral setting. Each of the four meticulously crafted weekend concerts contains a formula which honors the founder’s vision, carried on by his colleagues and staff at the nonprofit Four Seasons Arts, Inc. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 7, 8 and 9, the Yachats Music Festival will returns for its 37th and final year — a grand finale, with 21 artists representing multiple genres of music taking a final bow.

Soprano Ilya Martinez and baritone Rafael LeBron have performed in 33 of the 37 Yachats Music Festivals, delighting audiences with their joy, indefatigable hard work, artistic growth and ineffable chemistry. “This festival is an oasis in the midst of our individual careers,” Martinez said “It is refreshing for us to make a halt in our lives and prepare for our dear family of artists and the grateful receiving audiences. It is inspiring, but challenging also, as all creative endeavors are work. The nucleus of artists at this festival are ready to offer the best of their art.” Martinez and LeBron feel that the choice of repertoire is one of the most important factors which defines the Yachats Music Festival. “The works selected, how they are sequenced in each concert program, the honesty with interpretation and audience response are key aspects,” LeBron said. “Where can you find a festival that features art songs from around the world in original languages? Opera, oratorio, operetta and zarzuela, spirituals, American song book, Broadway, string quartets, cello sonatas, clarinet and flute concerts, piano classics, contemporary songs, Chinese ancient instruments, harp and

Among the artists featured is Yachatian pianist Milo Graamans,

who made his festival debut in 2012. He will perform Chopin, Joplin and Debussy over the course of the weekend. The concerts are at 8 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus a 2 pm Sunday matinée. Concert program details are available at www. fsarts.org Tickets are $20 apiece for each concert or a Member ticket to all performances is $85. Seminars on Friday and Saturday begin at 10 am and 1 pm; a Patron pass for

the seminars is available for $140 and includes all concerts, as well. All concerts and seminars take place at the Yachats Community Presbyterian Church at 360 West 7th Street. “We have so many unforgettable moments in Yachats” Martinez said. “Whale watching, the smelt fry, homemade pies, the swallows and the wonderful people. Artists keep coming back to Yachats because Yachats is like an old coat. You don’t throw away your old coat, you keep mending it. It is the most comfortable, the warmest, and the best one to help you fend off the adversities of weather. You protect your old coat, it’s never thrown out, never replaced.” Individual general admission tickets can be purchased at the Adobe Resort, 541-547-3141 or the Yachats Visitor’s Center 541-547-3530 or 800-9290477 or at www.brownpapertickets. com/event/2904858.

History ahoy! At the Garibaldi Maritime Museum Story & photos by Ann Powers

W

hile cruising the coast this summer, take the chance to voyage back in time and navigate through the Pacific Northwest’s magnificent maritime heritage by visiting the Garibaldi Museum — anchored between the base of Captain Robert Gray Mountain and Tillamook Bay. Founded by Lt. Colonel Charles M. Parkin in 1992, the nonprofit is a porthole to the 18th Century sailing world and a dedication to Captain Gray’s explorations. It seems Gray was a man of firsts. Reportedly, the Boston fur trader and his crew were the first US citizens to cross the Tillamook Bay bar on May 11, 1792 — nearly two decades before Lewis and Clark reached the Oregon Coast. Moreover, Gray was the first American to circumnavigate the world and sailed the Columbia Rediviva into the Columbia River — the first documented ship to anchor in the river’s estuary. He named the river “Columbia’s river” after his ship. Gray’s entry into the river gave the US an arguable claim to discovery in the deliberations with Great Britain that led to the Oregon Treaty of 1846. Records show that the captain died at sea in 1806, near Charleston, South Carolina, possibly of yellow fever. Today, museum visitors can see models of Gray’s historic sailing vessels, the Columbia Rediviva and the Lady Washington. Guests are invited to stand in awe of an eight-foot-tall replica of the Columbia Rediviva’s figurehead, view a model displaying how the ship was provisioned for the long ocean voyage, apparel of 18th Century seafarers and the musical instruments they would have played. There’s also a reproduction a Jolly Boat, which was used in the trade industry for transport in-between the large seafaring ships. And that’s not all. The museum houses a shipwreck room, authentic sail-making tools and exhibits highlighting the US Coast Guard’s vital role in the community

throughout the years. The Parkin Gallery features antique firearms as well as Native American baskets, tools and arts. In addition, a gallery dedicated to Garibaldi itself shows early life

designed to make learning fun. The hands-on “Kids Korner” offers coloring contests, sailor hat decorating, old-fashioned toys to play with (think abacus and Hotch Potch dolls) and vintage clothing to try on — great for taking photos. And what yesteryear journey would be complete without bucket building? The museum offers patrons a chance to test their ‘cooper’ (barrel maker) craftsmanship as well. “We try to make it fun for everybody,” said museum Manager Anna Rzuczek. A well-stocked gift shop and book store showcases an array of treasured trinkets and page-turning reads for folks to purchase and take with them. Shoppers will find a wide variety of maritime must-haves like compasses, spyglasses, whistles, antique portholes, magnifying glasses, watches, clocks and model ships. “Great gifts for the wives of boatguys to get their husbands” Bacon said. Each month, the museum features the works of various local artists, allowing them to show and sell their creations. School groups (public, private and home-schooled) are invited to experience the museum free of charge. Proceeds from the museum’s fundraisers support local education and art literacy programs. The Garibaldi Museum is located at 112 Garibaldi Avenue, open 10 am to 4 pm Thursday to Monday from April through October, Admission is $4 per adult, $3 for seniors (62 and over), $4 for children 11 to 18 years old, children under 10 are free, and groups of 10 or more are $2.50 each.
