A6 • Friday, April 5, 2019 | Cannon Beach Gazette | CannonBeachGazette.com Culinary Academy: Students showcase cooking skills for potential employers Continued from Page A1 How to create a menu in under an hour with unknown ingredients for starters. “Often times you are using ingredients you have on hand, sometimes you’ve got 30 minutes to come up with an amuse-bouche,” said Neahring. Another student com- mented how she had just returned from a mission in Peru where learned how to prepare traditional Peruvian foods. Students will go on to serve in all manner of culi- nary positions including at restaurants, in catering or even rescue facilities and camps. Krizo wants to pre- pare his students to make great food and spread love and kindness in all walks of life. Once the demonstration started the audience quickly started to feel like a more traditional dining room. Krizo introduced each of the six dishes the students com- posed in front of a camera for the audience of around 50 people. Two students constructed each dish under the cam- era which allowed observ- ers in the back of the room to see the detail of each dish via a large fl at screen. The remaining students served the dishes to each of the Cake decoration by Bob Vaningan. Photos by Cara Mico Bob Vaningan wraps up cake decorating demonstration. diners and then scrambled back to the kitchen to fi n- ish preparing the remaining courses. The fi rst dish was an amuse bouche of crab in a pastry cup. The dungeness crab was served on a bed of microgreens seasoned with a vinaigrette and two differ- ent seasoned oils, one lemon and one chili. The audience devoured the starter plate while remaining attentive to the demonstration, which also served as a student pop- quiz with Krizo throwing out questions like, “what’s the difference between a emulsifi cation and a regular vinaigrette?” How to get the puff pas- try into the cup shape. Pro tip — use the underside of a muffi n tin to bake a perfect pastry cup. Conference attendees included professional chefs from all over the country. Before the evening student demonstration, visiting pas- try chef Bob Vaningan of Pensacola, Florida, deftly molded colorful fondant into carrots, Easter bunnies and swans. A triple layer butter- milk cake with buttercream frosting was half eaten on the demonstration table from Vaningan’s decorating demonstration. “Most of us are leaders in bakeries, restaurants, or hotels. We’re here to love on each other, pray for each other and teach each other,” Vaningan said. Several attendees, includ- ing Vaningan, were mem- bers of mega churches, some of which serve more than 60,000 meals annually. “I know some of your facilities are way too small, sometimes you have to buy value added items, but some items are less expensive,” Krizo said during a discus- sion comparing the value of homemade or store-bought hollandaise sauce. Many of the attendees are trying to feed a lot of people with on a budget. The con- vention helps other people with limited budgets pick up useful information. One ministry in attendance saves $40,000 per year by baking their own bread, information which surprised many of the attendees. The students sourced ingredients locally and sea- sonally. The fi rst draft of the squash soup used an out- of-season squash served in the baked half of an acorn squash, but once the stu- dents penciled out exactly how many boxes of squash would be needed they quickly changed direction, choosing instead to serve the soup in ceramic bowls. The audience loved the fi rst dish, with almost all comments highly positive. Only one diner had a critique and suggested they add more crab. The second dish, a composed salad of prosciutto wrapped greens dressed with caramelized shallots and balsamic, garnished with oranges, candied walnuts and Rogue Creamery blue cheese, was equally appre- ciated. Remaining courses in the demonstration included a lemon meringue sorbet pal- ate cleanser, bacon-wrapped fi let mignon, and of course, dessert, which was cake and ice cream. Rental: Kerr says approval may circumvent oversight Continued from Page A1 Planning commissioner chairwoman Lisa Kerr described the property as a “short-term rental in B&B clothing. “Just renting out the bottom part of your house isn’t a B&B,” Kerr said. “In most B&Bs you’re a guest in someone’s home.” Kerr was concerned that approving the duplex for a bed and breakfast would cir- cumvent the oversight usu- ally applied to short-term rentals, which allow occu- pants either once every 14 days or, if they’re part of the fi ve-year lottery, unlimited daily rental. Planning Director Jeff Adams recommended approval of the application given that there’s ample parking at the site and that approval would be minimal to city services or surround- ing properties. But the commission kept coming back to the extra room. Although Moore said that it could be easily con- verted into a bonus room or a living room, the com- mission was concerned that there wasn’t a way to mon- itor that. A bed and breakfast can have a maximum of two bedrooms but there’s no maximum number of occu- pants allowed. Short-term rentals allow for 10 occu- pants, regardless of rooms. The commission denied the application. Moore has the option to appeal the decision to the City Council, where it will likely be approved. Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Donations have helped save the Cannon Beach Academy. Donations: Academy received ’a surge of support’ from public Continued from Page A1 “I’m never surprised by the support of the com- munity,” she said. “We’ve talked about overcom- ing hurdles over and over again, and I think that’s just going to be our thing, I think.” Consistent fundraising will continue to be critical to make the charter school fi nancially sustainable. With the last of the pledges from previous years being paid out this year, the academy’s top focuses will be on boosting enrollment and organiz- ing more ways to fundraise throughout the year. “Those are the two things that will keep us here,” Fredrickson said. More fundraising will be critical as the academy, which has 31 students, hopes to expand to 50 next year. It will be the fi rst year the school will offer kindergarten through fi fth grade. The school opened in 2017. “We are so grateful that (the community) sees this as an investment in the community and in the kids’ future,” Fredrickson said. Puffi n: Program adopts a more educational approach Continued from Page A1 But the program still has work to do. Trampling and rock climbing have increased signifi cantly and Keyser attributes this to changing sand conditions exposing more of the marine garden and an increase in visitors. Drone usage is also increasing. There were a 114 drones cited during the sea- son last year. In 2018 the HRAP interpreters had direct contact with almost 100,000 people, the most of any year they’ve been on the beach. And as the program grows, other needs are becoming more apparent. The beach wheelchair pro- gram is currently at capacity. Last year, 312 people used the beach wheelchair check out program but 570 addi- tional people wanted to and couldn’t because of available resources. HRAP has also seen an increase in fi eld trips. In 2018, the program worked with 70 school groups. Each group was limited to 130 students to prevent exces- sive impact on the marine garden and to allow volun- teers and staff to provide the best possible experience. And Habecker also imple- mented a new virtual tour program for the fi rst time. The virtual tour allows HRAP interpreters to, “com- municate across the country and in another language,” said Keyser. Councilor Robin Ris- ley said that that virtual tour program “really fi t in” with the chamber’s new love it like a local campaign. Haystack Rock Awareness Program The elusive puffi n remains an iconic symbol of Cannon Beach. The Haystack Rock Awareness Program is sup- ported by the city, but they’re also raising money from grants and other sources. Last year HRAP raised $66,000 through grants, donations and sales of art- work. Funds support staff to serve as interpreters sev- en-days-a-week, two hours before and after low tide, from sunrise to sunset, only pausing for three months in the winter when it’s too dan- gerous to be outside.
