This week’s top five

ANY BEACH — It doesn’t matter where; as long as you have some friends, a bottle of wine and some of the ﬁnest cheeses on the Oregon Coast. Whether it’s with an ash-coated, bourbon-misted, artisan goat cheese or a nice simple loaf of sharp Tillamook Cheddar, now is the time to celebrate the coast’s place on the Oregon Cheese Trail. Make the day even more fun by taking a cantankerous goat, an 11-month old baby and a camera.

See page 14.

LINCOLN CITY — As if the annual ﬁsh taco cookoﬀ is not exciting enough already, this year’s event gives Ged Aydelott of the Pelican Pub & Brewery the chance to complete a clean sweep of all four culinary contests. Can Ged land the big one or will this be the one that got away? Find out this Saturday.

TOLEDO — A great town for a stroll on any day of the week, Toledo comes into its own on the ﬁrst weekend of each month, when galleries and studios throw open their doors to guests. This month’s theme — “Nature’s Wild Garden.”

See page 22.

NEWPORT — Things might have gotten a little silly at the height of the Cold War ( Joe McCarthy, I’m looking at you) but one legacy of that polarized time that we can all enjoy is Newport’s Loyalty Day celebration. A four-day festival of red, white and blue that literally stops traﬃc.

See page 21.

TOLEDO — Of all the Cinco de Mayo celebrations on the coast, only one features the chance to pin the tail on the pig. And the party at Pig Feathers BBQ has something for the grown ups too — Brewmaster Stu Miller’s tribute to Mexican-style lager, Dos Oinkes, a brew that will put a curl in your tail.

LINCOLN COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS FARMERS MARKET SATURDAYS thru May 3rd 10:00am to 2:00pm SUPPORTING LOCAL FARMERS, FOOD PRODUCERS AND ARTISTS

LOCALLY GROWN FOR ALL SEASONS

Thursday, May 1, will see the curtain go up on the latest oﬀering from Lincoln City’s Theatre West — a play that sees four high-ﬂying women enduring something of a career blip. “Delval Divas” tells the story of Stella Wild, MBA; Rosemary Adams, JD/MBA; Linda Robertson, M.D., Ph.D.; and Beth Ziegler, MBA; who have something else in common besides their impressive credentials. Their shared address? Delval — the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility, a lowlevel security prison for white and “pink” collar criminals. Written by Barbara Pease Weber, “Delval Divas” is brought to the Lincoln City stage by Bryan Kirsch, who recently directed “Sin, Sex and the CIA” and appeared in “Things My Mother Taught Me” and “The Big 5-Oh.” The play stars Tracy Blakeman as Stella, Ellen Christian as Linda and Tamara Merry as Beth, with Patti Siberz and Stina SeegerGibson sharing the role of Rosemary. Tami Keller plays

From left, back row: Ellen Page, Tamera Merry, Patti Siberz, Tracy Blakeman and Ellen Christian. Front row: Tami Keller and Stina Seeger Gibson.

Lucille the guard, with Ellen Page as Sharon, a new inmate facing charges distinctly messier than tax fraud. Kirsch’s backstage crew includes Linda Jackson as assistant director, Karen Davis as stage manager and Shelby Barton on lights and sound. The play will run through May 24, with performances at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with doors opening at 7:30 pm. On Sunday, May 18, there will be a matinée presentation at 2 pm, with doors opening at 1:30 pm.

Tickets for the show are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors aged 62 and up and for students; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. On regular performance days, the box oﬃce is open at 2 pm at the theater, 3536 SE Hwy. 101. Advance reservations for all performances are recommended and can be made by calling 541-994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back.

You have tickets? Don’t rabbit in… There are a lot of talented actors in the new show from One of Us Productions in Yachats, but there are many times during each performance when the audience’s attention is focused on spot occupied by no one at all. “Harvey” is the story of the irrepressibly good-natured Elwood P. Dowd and his unseen and presumably imaginary friend — a sixfoot-three-inch rabbit. The play opens with Elwood living a content life, hanging around in saloons and introducing Harvey to everyone he meets. But his social climber of a sister, Veta, becomes increasingly embarrassed by his unusual behavior and resolves to have him committed

to a sanitarium. After a series of inevitable mix-ups and misunderstandings, Veta is confronted with the question of whether she really wants her brother to change at all. “Harvey” will be performed at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm each Sunday through Sunday, May 11, at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. N. Tickets, $12 for adults; $8 for kids aged 11 to 18; and $4 for kids aged 10 and under, are available at the door or in advance from Toad Hall and Touchstone Gallery in Yachats; Waldport Video in Waldport and the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Caught and Ticketed I

knew I was going to get caught and I relished the idea. I wanted a ticket. I wanted a fine. Call me a scofflaw or call me Henry David Thoreau spending the night jail for refusing to pay his taxes to support war. I knew breaking an unjust law would remind me how superior Oregon is to the rest of the world when it comes to people visiting ocean beaches. Sometimes feeling superior really feels good. And there he stood, behind my truck, a ranger of Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington, writing me a $99 ticket for not paying $10 to walk on a publicly-owned beach for 20 minutes with an invalid husky and take five photographs of three driftwood forts. It was a quick stop on a Friday morning in April before continuing our exploration of the peninsula. A visitor must pay ten bucks to see the ocean, visit the beach, or inspect the north jetty or one of the installments of Maya Lin’s Confluence Project. A visitor can also pay $30 for a yearly Discover Pass that allows entry into other Washington recreational areas. Let me say this: I have never paid a cent to recreate on an Oregon Coast beach and I never will. I consider all day-use fee areas on state coastal parks (as few as there are) to be unlawful and immoral because Section 1 of the Beach Bill reads: “The Legislative Assembly hereby declares it is the public policy of the State of Oregon to forever preserve and maintain the sovereignty of the state heretofore existing over the seashore and ocean beaches of the state from the Columbia River on the North to the Oregon-California line on the South so that the public may have the free and uninterrupted use

thereof.” See that word “free” in there? Free means free — you don’t have to pay to use the beaches. If I want to use a campground or boat dock or a maintained trail or some other amenity of a state park, then I will happily pay a fee to do so. But never to use a beach. This is our great birthright. However, I was visiting Washington, a state that never conceived or developed the sacrosanct notion of publicly owned beaches and guaranteed free access to them to the unprecedented extent that Oregon did. I walked toward my truck and I could see him talking on his radio, presumably running my plates. He saw me, stopped, and came over to me. He was wearing an armored vest over his uniform. This braced me. I’ve seen hundreds of Oregon coastal park rangers and have never encountered one wearing an armored vest and carrying a sidearm. “I was on the beach for 20 minutes. That’s it.” “We have to maintain the facility by charging a fee.” “Yes, you do for the users of the facilities. I went to the beach. That’s not a facility.” “You used the parking lot.” “Well, you got me there.” He asked for my ID and I ﬁshed out my driver’s license. He walked over to his truck, got on his radio or computer and checked me out without any probable cause whatsoever. I thought: what a drag of a job to ticket people who don’t want to pay to recreate on a public beach. Or can’t aﬀord to. Ten bucks is a lot of money for many people in a depressed economy, particularly teenagers skipping

school from Olympia or a local single mom with three kids and two jobs who still qualifies for food stamps, or the old man from Seattle relying on Social Security who wants to see the beach one last time before he can’t drive anymore. If you don’t think $10 is a lot of money for many people in the Pacific Northwest, especially those residing in impoverished rural areas like the Oregon Coast, then you have no idea what’s happening today. Well, you and a lot of others. The ranger returned and handed me a ticket. He used my middle name as my last name. I corrected him. “Welcome to the park,” he said without any affectation. Was this his crude attempt at levity? “Some welcome,” I said. “I won’t be back. Ever.” As I drove away I thought about something Representative Sydney Bazett, a Republican from Grants Pass said during his heroic support of the Beach Bill, a support that bucked his own party’s leadership and later led to his shunning by his colleagues and end of his political career. He said, “The people of this state who can only afford a tank of gas and a picnic basket have the right to spend a day with their children on the beach without having to rent a motel room or pay a toll.” Amen to that.

Rock on the cliffs Steve Christofferson

Vintage piano is key to concert series

INHOUSE Jazz will continue its summer program of intimate concerts in private residences along the coast on Sunday, May 4, with the first offering from its 2014 Piano Series. The concert, hosted by vocalist Annie Averre, will see pianist Steve Christofferson and bassist Shao Way Wu play together for the first time. Christofferson performs in clubs and jazz festivals around the world and is best known for accompanying Grammynominated vocalist Nancy King. He toured Europe with the Alan Jones Sextet and performed in China with Mia Nicholson. Playing piano with exemplary depth and warmth, Christofferson creates his signature sound by doubling on melodica, which he makes a surprisingly poignant tool for improvisation as well as for lead lines. He lays down graceful chord structures on piano, filling in atmospheric washes or subtly funky solos, thickening the tonal palette with the melodica’s distinctive blend of innocence and yearning. Bassist Shao Way Wu is originally from Hong Kong and lived for several years in Northern California, where he was upright bass instructor for Humboldt State University in Arcata. Shao Way has been performing for years in various jazz incarnations including Calfornia’s Coconino Trio which won praise as “a serendipitous combination of well-matched sensibilities.” He relocated to Portland in 2012 and he joined forces with guitarist Owen James in the original jazz improvisational ensemble A Day In The Sun. Each concert in the piano series is performed on a magnificent 1918 Steinway Grand Model B piano in an oceanview Seal rock home whose owners are deeply connected to Newport’s arts community. The May 4 concert will run from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. Admission is by donation and members often bring their own beverages and a potluck treat to share. All proceeds beyond expenses will be donated to the Newport High School Band to help defer traveling expenses for upcoming performances in Portland. To reserve a seat and receive directions, contact Averre at 360-606-7136 or aaverre@hotmail.com. For more information, go to www.inhousejazz.org.

The ocean-view home of Dick and Laurel Young will resound to the music of world-class performers Aaron Meyer and Tim Ellis at the Saturday, May 3, concert from the Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society. Violinist Meyer and guitarist Ellis are known to coastal audiences from appearances at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Salishan and the Newport Performing Arts Center. The pair are also drawing fans from Portland and Coos Bay to this special concert in Depoe Bay, which will include classical and original selections from at least four of their albums. Meyer performs cutting-edge original work that combines contemporary classical, progressive rock and world music. A child prodigy, he began his classical training at the age of ﬁve and debuted with the Philadelphia Orchestra aged 11. He has soloed with major symphony orchestras including the Oregon Symphony and the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra in Thailand. He travels the world performing and conducting music education workshops; holds master classes worldwide; and has produced six CDs of original music. To learn more, go to www.aaronmeyer.com. To preview a few selected pieces that will feature in the May 3 concert, search for “Aaron Meyer violin” on You Tube and scroll to “Santiago,” “Emerald Shores,” “Bien Viaje” and “Kashmir.” Meyer will be accompanied by Tim Ellis, a professional guitarist, singer-songwriter, awardwinning composer, and music producer. He is

heard internationally on many television shows; commercials for products including Nike, Westin Hotels, Coca Cola and Hewlett Packard; and in movies such as The Gangs of New York. Ellis has played on recordings for Polygram, Verve and Atlantic Records; and has also produced numerous records for Northwest artists including Patrick Lamb, The Young Immortals, Mary Kadderly and, currently, Aaron Meyer. The May 3 concert will start at 7 pm, and tickets are $25 per person, which includes light refreshments prepared by Taft High Culinary Club. To make reservations and receive directions, call 541-645-0409 or 541-765-7770. For more information, go to www.occms. net.

Come Together for a trip down memory lane It’s been more than 50 years since the Beatles took America by storm, but Beatlemania is still going strong in Manzanita, which will host a tribute to the Fab Four on Saturday, May 3. According to organizer Tela Skinner the “Beatles on Laneda” concert was inspired by memories of the group’s breakout appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. “Several friends, 55 and older, watched the Grammy’s ﬁfty-year salute to the Beatles together,” she said. “No matter where in the country we’d grown up, we had memories of this historical musical event in common.” Taking place in the Hoﬀman Center,

6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • may 2, 2014

the concert will see local bands Fred and Friends, Frank and The Ferrets and The Sedona Fire Band perform their versions of songs including “All My Loving,” “Here Comes the Sun,” “Don’t Pass Me By,” “Blackbird,” and “Act Naturally” to name just a few. Singer-songwriter George Hoag, a musician since the age of 14, will also take to the stage at the event, which will be emceed by Beatles fan Gary Seelig. Skinner said guests who were alive in 1964 should bring a photo of themselves from that era to show and tell. “We’d like to see the sweet young thing you were back when the Beatles ﬁrst

came to America,” she said. “Many of us who live in this community only got to know one another as we’ve gotten older.” She said younger Beatles fans should come along wearing a tag that says: “A mere little glimmer in Mom and Dad’s eyes.” The concert will begin at 7 pm at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Tickets are $10 apiece, with proceeds going to the “Finish Off the Hoff ” campaign, which aims to make the center a more attractive and comfortable building for all types of artistic events. For more information, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org or email Skinner at mactela@nehalemtel.net.

Meet some real wrap stars Come out of your shell at the Lincoln City Fish Taco Cook-off

hile a new bottling plant is helping spread Pelican Brewing Company’s beers across the nation, they might also want to figure out how to bottle whatever it is that’s going on in the kitchen. Executive Chef Ged Aydelott and his team are on a culinary winning streak — taking first place in the past three cook offs at the Culinary Center in Lincoln City. Victory at the upcoming Fish Taco CookOff on Saturday, May 3, would give the team an unprecedented clean sweep of all four contests. Aydelott, who joined the Pelican in 2006 and worked his way up to become executive chef by 2011, said things just seem to have clicked for the team, which has taken first place at the jambalaya, chowder and wild mushroom competitions. “I can’t put my finger on it,” he said. “We are just trying our best and trying everything we can to make a great item.” But before Aydelott starts clearing space in his trophy cabinet there is the small matter of a bunch of other chefs who also have their sights set on the top spot. Restaurants including J’s Fish and Chips, Nelscott Café and Taft’s Catering of Lincoln City as well as Bay 839 of Newport will be serving up their finest WHAT: 6th Annual Fish Taco creations in an effort to win Cook-Off over the crowd. WHERE: The Culinary Center For Aydelott, cook off in Lincoln City, fourth floor, 801 success begins with research SW Hwy. 101 into a dish’s origins. WHEN: 11 am-2 pm, Saturday, “From there,” he said, May 3 “I take the basic ideas of what the dish is and try to COST: Free entry. $1.50 per taco incorporate Pelican beer or Pelican products into it in CALL: 800-452-2151 some fashion.” Past fusions have included Doryman’s Dark Ale in the jambalaya, MacPelican’s Scottish Style Ale in the chowder and Kiwanda Cream Ale in the wild mushroom pie. It’s far from a one-man show, with Aydelott

brainstorming alongside his sous chefs to come up with the right recipe for each contest. For this year’s entry, Soux Chef Adan Magana devised a cactus and corn salad that will put a southwestern spin on a taco featuring Pacific Northwest rockfish. The fish will be breaded with spent grain breadcrumbs from the brewery and the whole thing will come topped with a smoked tomato salsa. The key to a good taco, Aydelott said, is simplicity. “I think it’s fresh ingredients and not necessarily overcomplicating it,” he said. “You can lose your fish a little bit if you put too many different flavors into it.” The cook off will run from 11 am to 2 pm in the Culinary Center in Lincoln City, located on the fourth floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. Admission is free and fish tacos are available for $1.50 each, In addition to the official entries, Culinary Center Executive Chef Sharon Wiest will be offering a wild albacore tuna taco, sponsored by the Oregon Albacore Commission, which will be prepared front and center on the demonstration stage. “While the tuna run takes place from July through October,” Wiest said, “the Oregon

fleet of fisherman now have the ability to freeze it almost immediately upon catch, which means we get to enjoy this fabulous product all year round.” Nelscott Wine Shop will be on hand to sell local beer and wine while sweet treats will be available from Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop and My Petite Sweet. And Eugene musician Mark Alan will bring his acoustic guitar for a performance of soulful and groove-oriented tunes. The winning entries will be decided by a public vote and announced at 1:45 pm. Regardless of whether his team scores a fourth win on the trot, Aydelott said he will continue being a regular fixture at the Lincoln City cook offs — happy for the opportunity to meet food lovers and talk about beer cuisine. “It gives us the chance to step out of the kitchen and do something different,” he said, “just relax and have a good time.” For more information, call the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151 or go to www. oregoncoast.org.

A golden age of music Now firmly in his golden years, veteran English actor Sir Christopher Lee has embarked upon a somewhat unlikely second career as a heavy metal musician. That kind of thing would normally pass without comment here at TODAY Towers were it not for the fact that, at the age of 91, Lee is almost as old as all four members of the upcoming Neskowin Chamber Music act combined. Although they are only in their late twenties, the members of the Ariel Quartet recently celebrated their 12th anniversary as a group. They last performed at Neskowin in 2012 and will grace the stage at Camp Winema once more on Sunday, May 4. Formed in Israel, the group moved to the United States in 2004 so its members could continue their professional studies. The four attended the New England Conservatory’s prestigious Professional String Quartet Training Program and graduated in 2010. In January, the group was named quartetin- residence at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. They have won a number of international prizes including the Grand Prize at the 2006 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and first prize at the “Franz Schubert and the Music of Modernity” in Graz, Austria, in 2003. Alexandra Kazovsky began playing the violin at the age of six.

She has a bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and also graduated from its Professional String Quartet Studies program. She plays on a 1660 Jacob Steiner violin on loan from Yehuda Zisapel. Israeli cellist Amit Even-Tov started studying cello at the age of six. She won

ﬁrst prize in a number of competitions in 2001 and 2002. After winning a Jerusalem Academy Competition in 2003, she made a solo appearance with the academy orchestra and conductor Ilan Schul. That led to an appearance with the Israel Stage Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra in a live broadcast on Israel Radio. She recently graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music Professional String Quartet Studies program. Jan Gruning was born in Munich in 1984. Following private studies with principal violinists of both the Bavarian Radio Symphony and the Bavarian State Opera House, he studied at the Musikhochschule Lubeck from 2002 to 2008.

He has performed at various festivals and participated in master classes in both Europe and North America and played with other chamber groups. Israeli violinist Gershon Gerchikov began his violin studies at the age of ﬁve. He continued his training at the Rubin Conservatory and the Academy of Music and Dance, both located in Jerusalem. While still living in Israel, he performed with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Yad Harif Chamber Orchestra and the St. Petersburg Radio Orchestra. He received his master’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music. Gerchikov plays on a Petrus Guameri violin on loan from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.

Tough to bleat The Oregon Coast makes world-class cheese— no kidding By Gretchen Ammerman

Members of the herd hard at work at Three Ring Farm. Below, Pat Morford shares a song with one of her goats. Photos by Gretchen Ammerman

For the TODAY

s I write this, I can hear angry sounds coming from my small herd of goats. They grow grumpy when it rains, which it does here a lot. But could they speak rather then just do a lot of yelling, they would be the first to admit that when the rain stops and they get out for some browsing, the same weather that is currently making them grumpy helps create the food they love and makes the Central Oregon Coast a great place to make cheese. Never heard of River’s Edge Chevré? Martha Stewart has. The goat cheeses made on a small farm in Logsden by mother and daughter team Pat and Astraea Morford have been featured on Stewart’s show, and have won national and even international awards. Just last year, Up In Smoke,

a round of fresh chevré that is smoked then wrapped in maple leaves that have been misted with bourbon, won a “Super Gold” award at the International Cheese Awards; and Humbug Mountain, an ash-covered pyramid, won Best American Cheese at the World Cheese Awards. “We were really delighted and surprised by the international prizes,” Astraea said, “but we’ve been winning prizes since the first competition we entered. That might sound arrogant, but it’s just funny how people in our own area seem surprised if they hear about one of our awards. We’ve been written about quite a lot, but it’s mostly on the East Coast in publications like the New York Times.” And it was with the aim of introducing people to some of Oregon’s best cheesemakers that the Oregon Cheese Guild decided last year to set up the Oregon Cheese Trail. Three Ring Farm, where River’s Edge Chevré’s cheeses are made, is located about 11 miles from the coast and is one of only two stops on the Central Coast region of the trail. And although Rivers Edge Chevré can be purchased in Newport at Local Ocean Seafoods, Oceana Natural Foods and the Nye Beach Gallery; and in Yachats at the Video Country Store, the best way to score this internationally prize-winning cheese is to visit the farm.

“We don’t have the time or manpower to distribute to too many places on the coast,” Pat said, “but people can come right out to the farm and buy cheese out of the cooler, which is nice, because then they can see what we’re doing.” Another benefit of a farm visit is the chance to meet the true stars of Three Ring Farm, the herd of Alpine goats that make all that milk.

The number of goats “in milk” is usually about 60, all of whom Pat, who grew up with goats, knows by name. In case you are wondering, yes, I tested her. As good as these cheeses taste, part of what makes them so appealing is visual. If there is such a thing as sexy cheese, these women are making it.

“When you know what you’re doing, there isn’t a whole lot of trial and error,” Pat said. “Cheese is cheese; you can change the shape, you can add different flavors to it, but for the most part it’s going to be pretty straightforward. But we do try to make things as beautiful as possible, that’s really an important aspect of the cheese; it’s got to be beautiful.” The other regional stop on the Oregon Cheese Trail is another multi-awardwinning cheese company that you are more likely to have heard of. The Tillamook Cheese Factory, while not in the artisan cheese business, still makes the type of quality product that makes them a good fit for the trail. The company doesn’t own any cows. Instead, the milk they use in their widely available cheese comes from about 110 different farms in Tillamook County, some with herds small enough that some farmers might, like Pat, know all off their animals by name. Farmers who are part of the Tillamook collective use no growth hormones, and the milk is tested daily to ensure there are no additives of any kind. “The farmers actually own the company,” said Sue Palmer, director of retail operations at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. “Being farmer owned is one of the things that really sets us apart. Especially today, with people really focusing on where their food is coming from, it’s such an important thing for us to be able to say. And we have no artificial ingredients, pretty much milk, starter, salt, that’s it.”

Samples at the Tillamook Cheese Factory

The Tillamook Cheese factory, where you can actually watch as the cheese is being made and try samples, is a popular stop for both tourists and locals. It is here, and only here, that you can get “Squeaky Cheese,” which can’t be shipped, or honestly even driven, very far. “Squeaky cheese is fresh curds that have not been made into loafs and loaded into the aging rooms,” Palmer said. “It’s the freshness of the cheese curd that really sets it apart; once it starts aging, it loses its squeakiness and starts down the path to becoming cheese. It’s a very short shelf life, and we only have it here.” Three Ring Farm is located at 6315 Logsden Road, six miles east of Siletz. For more information, go to threeringfarm.com or email threering@peak.org. The Tillamook Cheese Factory is located in Tillamook at 4185 Hwy. 101. For more information go to Tillamook.com or call 800-542-7290. For more information about the Oregon Cheese Trail, go to oregoncheeseguild.org/oregoncheese-trail.

coast culture This beer’s the squeal deal When it comes to a little snifter of something special — two snouts are better than one. With this in mind, expectations are high for the release of the new seasonal ale from Toledo’s Twisted Snout Brewery. Dos Oinkes is a Mexican-style dunkel, similar in fashion to Negra Modelo but seems to owe its name to that other famous Mexican import, Dos Equis. A light-bodied beer with a hint of chocolate, it will hit the taps at a special “Oinko de Mayo” release party on Monday, May 5. The party will see the brewery take over Pig Feathers BBQ for an evening with live music by Franz Paul VandeBogaard and The Sons of the Beaches, beginning at 6 pm. A Mexican feast will be on the menu, with special items including pulled pork tacos, deep fried jalapeños and house-made salsa. The free, all-ages bash will also feature a Mexican hat contest, pig piñata and pin the tail on the pig as well as the chance to collect the last of the brewery’s yearlong series of logo event stickers. Pig Feathers is located at 300 S. Main Street in Toledo. For more information, call Becky Miller at 503-504-7289.

You MAY know ... Cinco de Mayo has its roots in the May 5, 1862, Battle of Puebla in which the Mexicans defeated a much larger army in an initial battle against the French who had invaded Mexico. Throughout the years, it has developed into a wider celebration of Mexican heritage and is widely celebrated throughout the US.

experience is necessary. Drum Circle leader and facilitator Chandler Davis said the summer sessions usually attract somewhere between two-dozen and 50 people of all ages and backgrounds. There are extra drums and rhythm instruments to borrow for those who don’t have their own. “The drum circle allows people without musical training an opportunity to participate in music rather than just be spectators and it builds a sense of community by breaking down artiﬁcial barriers,” Davis said. “There are experienced drummers, as well, but the emphasis is always on cooperation and listening rather than musical perfection; our motto is: ‘In life and in music, everyone has something to contribute to the

Have a thrilling afternoon in Newport

A tale of slavery and legal drama set in the early days of Oregon will be the topic of discussion at Newport Public Library on Sunday, May 4, when bestselling author Phillip Margolin visits the coast. Margolin’s latest work, “Worthy Brown’s Daughter,” is set in 19th-century Oregon and is a departure for an author best known for his contemporary legal thrillers. Based on a true story, it combines a heartbreaking tale of slavery and murder with classic Margolin plot twists. One of a handful of lawyers in the new state of Oregon, recently widowed Matthew Penny agrees to help Worthy Brown, a newly freed slave, rescue his 15-year-old daughter from their former master, a Phillip Margolin powerful Portland lawyer. Worthy’s lawsuit sets in motion events that lead to Worthy’s arrest for murder and create an agonizing moral dilemma that could send either Brown or Penny to the hangman. A New York native, Margolin spent 1965 to 1967 in Liberia, West Africa, as a Peace Corps volunteer, then graduated from New York University School of Law in 1970. His ﬁrst

job following law school was a clerkship with Herbert M. Schwab, the chief judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals, and from 1972 until 1996, he was in private practice, specializing in criminal defense at the trial and appellate levels. Since 1996 he has been writing full-time, with all of his novels turning into best sellers. His ﬁrst novel, “Heartstone,” was nominated for an Edgar for best original paperback mystery of 1978 by the Mystery Writers of America. His second novel, “The Last Innocent Man,” was made into an HBO movie starring Ed Harris. “Gone, But Not Forgotten,” sold to more than 25 foreign publishers and was made into a mini-series starring Brooke Shields, while “Wild Justice” and “Lost Lake” were both Oregon Book Award Finalists. The free discussion will begin at 2 pm at the library, 35 NW Nye Street. Afterward, Margolin will sign copies of his books, which are available to buy from Canyon Way Bookstore. For more information, call 541-265-2153 or go to www.newportlibrary.org.

The festivities will begin on Thursday, May 1, with the return of a Loyalty Day mainstay, the Davis Shows Carnival, which has been part of the festival for more than 40 years, offering rides and carnival booths for all ages. Located at South Beach, the carnival will be open on all four days of the festival, with daily armband passes giving unlimited rides. Thursday will also see the opening of the Field of Honor – 1,000 US flags placed along Highway 101 at and around Fall Street. The memorial will be open ’round the clock for the duration of the festival and will serve as the backdrop for Oregon Honorable Service Medal presentations every evening at 5:30 pm. On Friday, May 2, the festival will gain a touch of royalty with the coronation of

Hot on the heels of Earth Day, Toledo’s artists will celebrate the wonder of the natural world in this month’s First Weekend show, displaying works inspired by “Nature’s Wild Garden.” The celebration will see artists throw open the doors to galleries and studios throughout town on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, with several also oﬀering refreshments. This month’s featured artist is Michael Gibbons, renowned oil painter and curator of the Yaquina River Museum of Art. Gibbons will be displaying a portion of a traveling exhibition called “Yaquina,” a collection of oil paintings he created on estuaries along Yaquina Bay. Gibbons painted the works in preparation for a much larger, 62-by-42inch, piece entitled “Arnold Creek Estuary,” that was commissioned for the dining room of Mahonia Hall, the oﬃcial residence of the Oregon governor. The collection began with a series of 14 small painting studies that Gibbons created in 1987 on a tiny estuary on the south side of Yaquina Bay and has since grown to include some 40 paintings. Four of the paintings will be on display at Gibbons’ Signature Gallery, 140 NE Alder Street; with the remainder on show across the street at the museum, 151 NE Alder Street. Both venues will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on both days of First Weekend and refreshments will be served. Meanwhile, just around the corner, fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly will be displaying

Sharing the spotlight

The latest Spotlight Show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery will feature tradition and experimentation, showcasing the watercolors of John Bradley alongside the abstract wall art of Cynthia Jacobi. Newport artist Jacobi usually creates with watercolor and mixed media but for this show has applied her textured plaster and collage skills to create abstract pillar shapes, many of which are displayed in triptychs. As a member of the committee dedicated to preserving the Newport Visual Arts Center, Jacobi sees art as something that enriches and connects people — as well as bringing money to town. “Art can say what we know in our heart but have no words to express,” she said. Alongside Jacobi’s work, guests will ﬁnd watercolors by John Bradley, who has been painting for more than 22 years. A veteran of art classes

By John Bradley

across the Western states, Bradley is now a frequent student and instructor at theYaquina Art Association and the 4C’s in Lincoln City. At the fall 2012 convention for the Watercolor Society of Oregon, he was honored with the Gold Award, one of the society’s highest accolades. The Spotlight Show will be on display through May 16, available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround.
