Egg-stra credit By Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher

Another packed paper means there is very little space for anything other than to extend a heartfelt thanks to organizers of the Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt in Lincoln City, where assistant editor Quinn took his ﬁrst steps down the road of what looks to be a very promising career in professional football. Thanks also to the Elks, Lions and Eagles, the churches and the rec centers, the chambers of commerce and the private businesses up and down the coast who put in the time and eﬀort to help build big memories for little people.

Volunteers can get in the running for raffle prizes as they tackle trash by land and by water at a Siletz River cleanup on Saturday, April 11. People with drift boats will come at the trash from the waterside while those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground can lend a hand from the shore. “Last year we had 16 drift boats and 55 volunteers show up to haul over 4,000 lbs of trash from the river,” said Conrad Gowell, Siletz Watershed Council coordinator. “That was amazing but I’m hearing that we will have even more boats, volunteers and raffle prizes this year.” The event will run from 9 am to 2 pm, starting and ending at the Hee Hee Illahee Park on Highway 229 and Gaither Street at the south entrance to Siletz. Volunteers can stock up on energy with free coffee and donuts when they register. The event will conclude with a meal of chili, hot dogs, sodas and other snacks. As an added

incentive, volunteers also stand the chance of winning a prize in the event raﬄe. Gowell said the annual

cleanup draws river users from near and far. “It’s a chance to have fun and give back at the same time,” he said. “The river provides excellent ﬁshing, clean water for drinking and beauty.” SOLVE will provide trash bags but participants should bring gloves, waterproof boots and dress in layers. For more information, contact Gowell at 541265-9195 or conrad@ midcoastwatershedscouncil.org.

Poets gone wild Establishing a president Poet and teacher Henry Hughes will lead a free workshop in Newport on Sunday, April 12, giving participants the chance to learn about writing poetry and to practice writing about animals. “Whether wild or tame, dangerous or cuddly, food or friend, non-human animals are a big part of our lives,” Hughes said. “The group will discuss ways to write about animals that honor the creatures and our relationships with them. Participants will learn to draft an animal poem that comes alive on the page.” Hughes grew up on Long Island and has lived in Oregon since 2002. His poems have appeared in Antioch Review, Carolina Quarterly, Shenandoah, Southern Humanities Review, Seattle Review and Poetry Northwest and are represented in several anthologies. His ﬁrst collection, “Men

Holding Eggs,” received the 2004 Oregon Book Award; his second book, “Moist Meridian,” was chosen by Robert Pinsky as a ﬁnalist for the 2011 Oregon Book Award; and his third collection, “Shutter Lines,” was published in the spring of 2012. He is the editor of the anthologies “The Art of Angling: Poems about

Fishing” and “Fishing Stories” and his commentary on new poetry appears regularly in Harvard Review. The free two-hour workshop, hosted by the Willamette Writers Coast Chapter, will run from 2 to 4 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, call Theresa Wisner at 541-3518002.

What would the world be like if Oregon Governor Tom McCall had gone on to become president of the United States, rather than former California Governor Ronald Reagan? That is the premise behind “McCallandia,” the debut novel from Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall, who will discuss his work at the Sunday, April 12, meeting of the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences. In the world of “what ifs,” Hall imagines an alternate history in which McCall was able to take his environmentally conscious message all the way to the Oval Oﬃce. Hall is a tireless county commissioner, working on issues such as homelessness, education, work force housing and emergency food supplies. The presentation will start at 2 pm at the Yachats

Governor Tom McCall with what we hope is Tillamook ice cream

Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. There is no charge for this presentation but a $5 donation will help cover

publicity expenses. For more information, go to yachatsacademy.org or call 541-961-6695.

PoetryFest returns to Manzanita Saturday, April 18, will see the return of PoetryFest, a day-long event at Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center dedicated to the joys of poetry. Hosted by the Manzanita Writers’ Series, the festival will feature two workshops led by noted poets Andrea Hollander and Matthew Dickman. An award-winning poet and essayist, Hollander is author of four full-length poetry collections — most recently “Landscape with Female Figure: New and Selected Poems, 1982 – 2012,” which was a ﬁnalist for the 2014 Oregon Book Award in Poetry.

She is also the editor of “When She Named Fire: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry by American Women.” Her ﬁrst poetry collection, “House without a Dreamer,” won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize. Hollander spent 22 years as the writer-in-residence at Lyon College, where she was awarded the Lamar Williamson Prize for Excellence in Teaching. Now a resident of Portland, she teaches writing workshops at both The Attic Institute and Mountain Writers Series. Hollander’s workshop, “Image and Imagination,” will run from 10 am to noon

Andrea Hollander

Matthew Dickman

and is aimed at helping people generate new writing. Students will begin with the notion of image and take the kind of risk that has the potential to unleash the imagination in unanticipated ways.

From 1 to 3 pm, Matthew Dickman will lead a workshop called “Revise Your Life! Well, at least your poem…” a hands-on class that will see students using old drafts of poems to start a conversation on what to do when revising. “How do we re-imagine something we have lived with for a while?” he said. “How do

we reclaim a space for vision after the pen is put down and the paper put away? We will share ideas and borrow from French Surrealists on up to current favorite poets.” Dickman, of Portland, is the author of “Mayakovsky’s Revolver” and “All-American Poem, 50 American Plays,” which he co-wrote with his twin brother, Michael Dickman. He is the recipient of The Honickman First Book Prize, The May Sarton Award from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Kate Tufts Award from Claremont College and the 2009 Oregon Book Award from Literary

Arts of Oregon. At 3:15 pm, the festival will be opened up to the public as both Hollander and Dickman read from their latest collections and sign copies of their books. Tuition for the workshops is $30 each, or $50 for both. To register for the workshops, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org/ongoingclasses/register-forworkshops. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Avenue. For more information, go to hoffmanblog.org or contact Phyllis Mannan at phmannan@gmail.com.

A center worth its salt

Newport’s Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center will hold its annual Marine Science Day on Saturday, April 11, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Oregon State University facility, which has become an integral part of education, research and tourism at the coast. The free event will include interactive displays and demonstrations as well as the opportunity to become a citizen scientist and learn how to monitor sea star wasting disease with researchers from the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans. Guests will also get the chance to take tours of the OSU animal husbandry program and the Oregon Coast Community College aquarium science program as well as having a hands-on experience in the center’s touch tide pools. Several of the center’s research groups will oﬀer unprecedented access to their studies, facilities and instruments during the event. In addition to a see-yourvoice exhibit, the OSU acoustics research group will have a display with a large hydrophone and subwoofers so participants can hear actual sounds from the ocean. Meanwhile, the Earth-Ocean interactions program will show video of undersea volcanoes and hydrothermal vents. And the Plankton Portal program will show fascinating images of plankton as part of a major international initiative to learn more about these small marine creatures. OSU’s Marine Mammal Institute will help participants identify whales through binoculars, while the Molluscan Broodstock program demonstrates its oyster and seaweed research projects. The event will also feature

BLISS

FORT

on the cover

Matt Love presents a guide to driftwood fort season on the Oregon Coast

“

What is that?” I said aloud to myself. Sonny the husky and I were cruising south over the Alsea Bay bridge on a gloriously bright afternoon in March when I caught sight of something unique: a spire three miles away as the crow flies. It was no singular spire atop a church or museum or hall of political hypocrisy; it was a twisting bundled spire atop a gigantic driftwood fort on the beach. I have seen and built many a driftwood fort in my days, but I had never seen one with a spire, let alone from three miles away. The fort called to me; it enlisted my attention. I would rather arrive late to my wedding or funeral than dismiss an opportunity to see a majestic driftwood fort. Their ephemeral nature is intoxicating and they last a lot longer than many marriages or funerals. We crossed the bridge and passed through Waldport. Moments later I pulled into the parking lot of Governor Patterson Memorial State Park. I dearly wanted to take Sonny with me to investigate the fort, but she can’t walk more than 50 yards these days, so she snoozed in the truck. From the parking lot, I walked north down the beach, toward the mouth of Alsea Bay, perhaps a hundred yards. And then I could not believe my eyes. It was like a Rivendale or Shangri La or Garden of Eden or Vortex I of driftwood forts. They were everywhere, of all designs, a magical complex of driftwood forts — 17 in all, a record! — the most forts concentrated in a single area I have ever encountered. Seventeen! Beautifully preposterous! In time, I bestrode the colossus. I looked at the spire and nodded my head. Yes, yes, there was a master driftwood fort maker and a cabal of fort fairies at

work here. Nameless builder of the fort and your fort fairies, I honor you. I fall at your feet. Let me wash your feet in the ocean. Ladies and gentlemen and children and dogs, my impromptu discovery of this astonishing fort complex marked the official unofficial beginning of the driftwood fort building season on the Oregon Coast. They are rising everywhere. Forts cannot be stopped. People can’t help themselves. The answer to world peace, eternal smiles and economic sustainably lies embedded in the metaphor of the forts’ collaborative construction. You scoff? You mock me? I changed two students’ lives last summer on an outing to build a driftwood fort. How do I know? They told me after landing in my classroom in the fall. Two young men were depressed, verging on suicide. A counselor who read my messianic words on building driftwood forts phoned and wanted me to take her group to the beach and build. Are you kidding me? I live for this kind of call. It means someone’s paying attention in a world where no one pays any attention except to their phones. I built a massive fort with these two

troubled boys. We wrote about it right there. The process began their healing. I took them apart at the beach and they rebuilt themselves by hoisting and interlocking wood with friends, complete strangers and a selfappointed driftwood fort mystic. They have since become two of my best writers and stellar performers at my monthly open mic on campus. It started with a fort. Let me build a driftwood fort with every kid in Oregon. Some super-rich Oregonian should stop paying for upgrades to Pac 12 football facilities

and pay me minimum wage to enact my dream. Let me enact it and I’ll change the history of Oregon for the better. I urge you to visit Governor Patterson Memorial State Park and witness this otherworldly fort compound for yourself. Don’t forget to collaborate on an existing fort that intrigues you or start a building a new one. I did. I always do. Matt Love is the author/editor of 13 books about Oregon, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide.” They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com.

artsy A show thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to impress Art lovers and bibliophiles alike are encouraged to attend the opening of a book-themed art show at Manzanitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polaris Gallery on Saturday, April 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Book Unbound, A Sculptural Installation and Art Show,â&#x20AC;? is a collection of work from gallery owner J. Scott Wilson, almost all of which has been created from components of books. As well as book art and book folding, the show will include origami creations evoking bowls, birds, vases, mobiles, wall art, simple surface sculpture, a cityscape, wreaths and furniture. All art works will be for sale, with proceeds beneďŹ ting the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita. The show will open with a special reception from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, April 11, timed to coincide with National Library Week. Wilson, a book lover, published writer and well-known artist in the community, has lived in Manzanita for four years, where he previously owned Seagrass Gallery. He relocated his gallery last September, renaming it Polaris Gallery. His inspiration for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Book Unboundâ&#x20AC;? came from the title of the 2002 book,

A shrew-d choice for comedy fans One of Shakespeare’s wildest and most madcap comedies will gallop on to the stage in Newport this weekend as the Red Octopus Theatre Company continues its month-long run of “The Taming of the Shrew.” The hilarious tale of love, money and misdirection has received something of a face-lift courtesy of director Darcy Hogan, whose adaptation feeds on her memories of first reading the play in the 1980s. “If you were to read the play to a wildly imaginative 12 year old in 1987 … that, in a nutshell, is our production,” she said. “It’s all the vibrant, colorful stuff a child would imagine — with a bit of an eighties influence.” Despite the appearance of the occasional Princess Leia hairstyle, the play remains set during the Italian Renaissance in the city of

for shout-outs to no less than seven of the master playwright’s other works, which Hogan has weaved into the script. Can you spot them all? The cast includes Melissa MacDonald as Kate, Kyle Cooper as Petruchio, Josh Lawrence as Lucentio, Miranda Richman as Bianca, CJ McCarty as Baptista and Pete Theodore as Hortensio.

Melissa MacDonald as Kate and Kyle Cooper as Petruchio

Padua, home to the wealthy Baptista Minola and his daughter Bianca — the most eligible bachelorette in town. But there’s a problem. Baptista won’t let anyone marry Bianca until her sharp-tongued older sister,

Kate, is married off. So, two of Bianca’s suitors hatch a plan to persuade a f riend to woo and wed the wild Kate, setting in motion a battle of wits — and the sexes. Hogan has used Shakespeare’s original text,

Mandy Richman as Bianca and Josh Lawrence as Lucentio

trimmed slightly, with a few additions here and there. “It’s not an update, not a relocation, and it’s not set in the eighties,” she said. “We’ve simply breathed

Sage on stage Vocalist, pianist and storyteller Brenna Sage will present a wacky musical memoir of the ’60s and ’70s on Friday, April 10, as she performs “I’ve Got The Music In Me,” a fund-raising show for the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts. Growing up in Hebo, Sage was inﬂuenced by network television and Top-40 radio. She played piano for her school music classes as early as ﬁfth grade and started her own all-girl rock band at the age of 14. She created “I’ve Got The Music In Me” to celebrate the music of her childhood that led to her professional career as a pianist, vocalist, music director and arranger. Sage has music directed nearly 100 theatrical productions

in Oregon, New York City, the greater New York area, Mississippi and Texas. The show sees Sage backed by a six-piece band, led by pianist Mack Pimentel. The orchestrations are her own, and direction is by Stephen Nachamie. Sage will take to the stage at 7 pm at the Barn Community Playhouse, located at 12th & Ivy in Tillamook. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $20 and include complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a beverage of choice. They can be purchased by contacting Diamond Art Jewelers, 307 Main Avenue, 503-842-7940.

Art on the half shell Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery will be displaying works by artisan Iori Uchihata in a two-week Pedestal Spotlight starting Saturday, April 11. Uchihata left her native Tokyo and came to the Oregon Coast shortly after the year 2000. As a working mother of three children, she never had time for art until the kids had all grown up. She had long been fascinated by brightly colored designs of kimono, and her early artwork included paintings of kimonoclad Japanese women. She soon discovered that Japanese origami, using intricately patterned, multicolored washi paper, was tremendously popular in Oregon. Uchihata continues to experiment with a variety of other media. “My newest challenge is using oyster shells as my canvas,” she said. “Oyster shells are a treasure

The ruff guide to Oregon New local exhibit could re-write history of Sir Francis Drake’s epic voyage By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

To the casual observer, Depoe Bay’s Whale Cove appears to be nothing more than yet another breathtakingly beautiful inlet of the type that appears every few miles along the Oregon Coast But to historical sleuth Bob Ward, the bay is a key part of a mystery involving English explorer Sir Francis Drake, a 16th-Century cover up and the true birthplace of the British Empire. Ward’s theories are the subject of a new exhibit, “Drake in Oregon,” on display at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum in Lincoln City through the end of this year. Drawing on 30 years of extensive research, the exhibit makes the case that Drake spent the summer of 1579 at anchor in Whale Cove rather

than the bay north of San Francisco that now bears his name. Far from being just another pit stop on the epic journey of the Golden Hind, the spot where Drake first came ashore was the scene of a turning point in world history. “It’s important because it’s the very first example of a British colony being established on foreign soil,” Ward said. “It’s an important piece of Oregon history that was unknowingly ceded to California.” And to hear Ward tell it, the reasons for the 400-year-old cover up are equally explosive, with England seeking to throw its arch-rival Spain off the scent as the two great naval powers raced to find the fabled Northwest Passage — a waterway each believed to be the key to global trade. Born and raised in England, Ward first became interested in Drake in the 1970s, while

living in British Columbia and working as a business consultant specializing in projects involving First Nations peoples. One project brought him into contact with the nuuchah-nulth, a band native to the Nootka Sound area where British explorer Captain James Cook arrived in 1778. Ward was intrigued by one elder’s claim that his people had seen another white explorer generations before Cook’s arrival — despite oﬃcial records showing no European had been that far north. Could that earlier explorer have been Drake? Upon returning to England, Ward read an account of Drake’s reported arrival in California and immediately began to smell a rat — a muskrat to be precise. The account went into great detail about a large rodent the crew saw upon coming ashore. The oﬃcial story says the

animal was a squirrel or a pocket gopher — both of which Ward said were too small to match the description. “I recognized it instantly as a muskrat, found almost everywhere in the US except coastal California,” he said. “If Drake had described muskrats in his account, then he wasn’t in California.” Intrigued, Ward began to dig deeper, with the research providing a welcome distraction from his high-pressure job managing an auto parts factory where every second of every day was about the next order. “I used to escape by looking at the mystery of Drake’s movements, where it doesn’t matter what happens in the next seven minutes or the next seven hours,” he said. “ I immersed myself in these 16th-Century manuscripts.” Ward says those manuscripts revealed a veil of secrecy that descended upon Drake’s voyage following his triumphant return to England in 1580; with logs conﬁscated and crew members silenced on pain of death. The oﬃcial account of the voyage claimed Drake had made anchor on the West Coast at the 38th parallel, placing him just north of San Francisco. But Ward soon found an unsigned account that placed the anchorage at the 44th parallel, running right through Whale Cove. Further research turned up

another account placing Drake’s landing at the 44th parallel, written, Ward concluded, by the man who served as Drake’s chief steward on the voyage. “The hairs on my neck started to stand up,” Ward said. “One account can be dismissed. Two accounts is much harder.” The English, Ward asserts, would have had a clear motive

for falsifying the records to place Drake much farther south, locked as they were in a race against the Spanish to ﬁnd the Northwest Passage. For almost 100 years, the route connecting Europe to Asia along the north coast of what is now Canada had eluded explorers from both Continued on page 17

kingdoms. Only in recent years has climate change melted enough of the ice along Canada’s coast to make the route viable for large vessels, a turn of events that has shipping companies rubbing their hands at the prospect of faster cargo delivery. In Drake’s 16thCentury world of sail-powered galleons, many merchants felt the trade advantage of such a route would be enormous. Ward ﬁrst published his research in 1981 but found little interest on this side of the Atlantic for a theory that would displace California as Drake’s accepted landing spot. “This is a really dynamic piece of history but it’s taught as if it’s carved in stone,” he said. ‘There is more documentary evidence that Drake was here than he was down in California.” In 1995, Ward moved to the US to get closer to the area that so fascinated him. Now, after 20 years living in Depoe Bay, his research has shifted from the cavernous reading rooms of the British Library to the silt of the Salmon River Estuary. For it is in that estuary, some 20 miles north of

Whale Cove, that Ward believes he will find physical proof of Drake’s presence on the Oregon Coast. Ward believes Drake left part of his crew at the Salmon River Estuary with orders to try and return to England through the Northwest Passage after weathering the winter. A combination of 400-yearold Spanish maritime records and local stories about a shipwreck in the estuary led Ward to conclude that the remains of the men’s vessel lie buried deep in the Salmon River mud. Last year, a radar survey of the site revealed evidence of 21 pieces of metal buried in the area, roughly a third of which were non-magnetic. Ward said those findings tally with his information about the cargo and fittings of the ship he is seeking. He said a dig at the site could reveal something that would positively identify the ship as the one Drake left behind, such as a bronze cannon. “If that’s what we think it is,” he said, “it’s the oldest and most historic shipwreck on the West Coast of America.” More than anything, Ward

hopes that the “Drake in Oregon” exhibit will inspire people to believe that there might be more to the Drake story than the version they learned in school. He said stories abound of 16th-Century items being found in the area — an Elizabethan sword discovered in Newport, a blunderbuss at Camp Westwind and coins on the Salmon River — all of which seem to have disappeared throughout the years. “One of the things we want is to encourage people to tell us if they ﬁnd something,” he said, adding: “This is a really important piece of history; not only for history’s sake. If this is the birthplace of the British Empire, in terms of tourism — it’s huge.” “Drake in Oregon” will be on display throughout the year at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. The museum is open from noon to 5 pm Wednesday through Saturday. Admission is free. Ward’s presentation is available to buy on CD for $5 For more information, contact Anne Hall at 541-996-6614.

Jump to it Whether you want highadrenaline action or a gentle pastime from a bygone age, Lincoln City Community Center has the ball game for you. Adult coed dodgeball is returning to the center in a league open to players aged 16 and older. Games will be played each Friday, starting on April 24 and continuing through midJune. There will be at least eight regular season games, plus a single-elimination tournament.

The cost is $250 per team, and each team must have at least 8 players. To register a team, submit a roster listing the team manager and all players by Friday, April 17. Folks who like their ball games a little slower might want to try their hand at pickleball, which is now on oﬀer at the center from noon to 1 pm, Monday through Friday. Invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime, Pickleball quickly

became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all levels. Two, three or four players use ping pong paddles to volley a whiﬄe ball over a low net, using rules similar to tennis. No registration is needed, and everyone is welcome to drop in and play. Participants can use their ﬁtness pass, or pay the regular drop-in fee. For more information on either game, call the center at 541-994-2131 or go to www. lincolncity.org.

Are you in-tuit? Chaplain to share life lessons More than 20 intuitive guides, healing practitioners and vendors of supplies that encourage healing of body, mind and spirit will descend upon the Gleneden Beach Community Club this weekend. The Healing and Intuitive Arts Fair organized by the nonproﬁt Portal Center, will feature seminars every hour from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, April 11 and 12. Seminar topics range from how to tap into intuition to the power of essential oils and how to build and use a labyrinth. Speakers include Ruth Miller from the Portal Center, Kat Cunningham of Circle 4 Oneness, Diana Kekule

of the Magdalene Way and Larry and Linda Addison of Rainbow Gardens. Admission is $5 per day and includes all seminars. Refreshments will be available onsite for a donation. The Gleneden Beach Community Club is located at 110 Azalea Street.

Medford hospital and hospice chaplain Fred Grewe will visit Lincoln City on Saturday, April 25, to lead a seminar on spiritual legacies and give a presentation on the lessons he has learned in his years of tending to the dying. The seminar, entitled “The Soul’s Legacy: Discerning Your Life’s Meaning and Passing it on to Your Loved Ones,” will run from 1:30 to 5:30 pm, at the Congregational Church of Lincoln City. Grewe will invite participants to reﬂect upon what has been most useful in their lives. Each person will then begin the process of crafting an “ethical will.” Topics to be discussed will include: getting in touch with your soul, blessing others and spiritual reﬂection on important

stories from your life. Due to the experiential nature of the workshop, the class is limited to eight participants. To register, call the church oﬃce at 541-994-2378. Earlier in the day, Grewe will deliver a free presentation that is open to all from 10:30 am to noon, also at the church. Entitled “What the Dying Have Taught Me about Living,” the interactive presentation will see Grewe share some of the life lessons he has learned over the course of tending to some 1,000 people on their journey from life into death. Grewe will share perspectives on dying from various faith traditions and

tips on how to provide a nonanxious presence for dying patients as well as reﬂective tools that audience members can use to consider their own deaths.

Both events are sponsored by The Opening Door. The Congregational Church of Lincoln City is located at 1760 NW 25th Street.

Cheep? Why, it’s absolutely free! A free birding ﬁeld trip from the Audubon Society of Lincoln City will give all-comers the opportunity to see the bird life of Siletz Bay on Saturday, April 11, with guides keeping an eye — and ear — out for the area’s resident songbirds. Together with Salishan Spit and the beach, the bay provides diverse habitat for an interesting array of species, including small perching birds, gulls and ducks as well as raptors and other water birds. Spring means the area’s resident songbirds should be in full voice, with species including White crowned and Song Sparrows, Oregon Juncos and Paciﬁc Wrens. The group will follow the Salishan Nature Trail along Siletz Bay toward the beach. If time allows, they will then carpool to the Kernville, Cutler City and Taft areas for several other views of birds in

Siletz Bay. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Participants should meet at

9 am in the parking lot of the Salishan Marketplace, four miles south of Lincoln City. For more information, call 541-994-9330.

Oregon Coast classical music fans will welcome back a favorite performer on Sunday, April 12, when pianist Joel Fan takes to the stage at the Neskowin Chamber Music series. Fan, a member of cellist Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, has performed as a soloist with 40 orchestras throughout the world, including the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, London Sinfonietta, Singapore Symphony, New Symphony Orchestra of Bulgaria and the Odessa Philharmonic. In Neskowin, he will perform in the humble but

acoustically superb chapel at Camp Winema — a venue he last played in 2012. As a recitalist, Fan has appeared at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, Jordan Hall in Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Fan combines virtuosity with a gift for lyricism and has won high praise from reviewers at the Boston Globe, which called him “superb;” the Village Voice, which deemed him “extraordinary;” and the Washington Post, which described him as “a versatile

and sensitive pianist.” Fan began performing with the New York Philharmonic at the age of 11 as the winner of the Philharmonic’s Young People’s Concert Auditions and went on to study at the Julliard School in New York City. He is a graduate of Harvard College and received a master’s degree from the Peabody Conservatory as a student of pianist Leon Fleisher and composer Leon Kirchner. As well as traditional piano compositions, Fan plays world music and new music commissioned for him. His latest album, “Dances for Piano and Orchestra,”

presents another original approach to classical music, focusing on the intersection of music and dance, with rarely heard compositions by Chopin and Saint-Saens, among other composers. It also includes the world premiere recording of Charles Cadman’s “Dark Dances of the Mardi Gras.” Sunday’s concert will begin at 3 pm at Camp Winema, three miles north of Neskowin, just west of Highway 101. Tickets, $25, are available at the door. For more information, go to www.neskowinchambermusic. org or call 503-965-6499.

Dynamic guitarist Hiroya Tsukamoto will perform at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, April 11, playing a distinct blend of acoustic styles that promises to take listeners on a cinematic journey. Originally from Kyoto, Tsukamoto began playing banjo when he was 13 years old. In 1994, he entered Osaka University and was introduced to the South American musical and social movement called Nueva Cancion, headed by musical legends such as Victor Jara and Violeta Parra. In 2000, he received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. Since then, he has been performing internationally, including several appearances with his group at Blue Note in New York. In 2004, Tsukamoto released a debut album entitled “The Other Side of the World” with his

band Interoceanico. His composition entitled “El Otro Lado del Mundo” was nominated as the finalist of The USA Songwriting Competition 2004. He released his second album, “Confluencia ” in 2006; and a third, entitled ”Where the River Shines,” in 2008. His most recent album, “Heartland,” was released in August 2012. Doors for Saturday’s concert will open at 7:30 pm at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $14 in advance and $16 at the door, are available at the box office, by calling 541-994-9994 or online at lincolncity-culturalcenter.org. A selection of Northwest beers and wines, My Petite Sweet cookies and bars, and Mountain Man savory snacks will be sold before the show and during intermission. The Weekender Concert Series will conclude on May 30, with the all-female bluegrass band The Misty Mamas.

Get lost in the details

The latest show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery will give a meditative and personal glimpse into the lives of two artists who have known each other and worked together for 13 years. “In the Details” showcases works from Colleen Hickey and Buff Medb Neretin, which focus on the details that make up the whole and how important and meaningful those details can be. The two artists share studio time, ideas, material and above all else a friendship and mutual respect that is the most powerful detail of all. The show opens on Friday, April 10, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, giving guests the opportunity to meet both artists and enjoy wine and appetizers. The pieces that make up the show are predominantly abstract or expressionistic in nature, mostly encaustic and mixed media. Alongside these original paintings are arrangements of many smaller prints that focus on specifically selected details. Neretin has been a professional artist for more than 40 years, working in a wide range of mediums, including encaustic paintings that combine melted wax with pigments. She said her encaustic works give her the chance to combine all her artistic experience and knowledge as she works layer upon layer to produce seemingly never-ending paintings. This is the second show that Neretin has shared with her longtime friend, Hickey, whom she first met more than 13 year ago. “Things have just gotten better since then,” Neretin

“Bear 2” by Colleen Hickey

said. “We have spent much studio-time together, working companionably, lovingly, most of the time in silence, sharing what we have, what we feel, what we know and what we are discovering.” With an art background from the Art Institute of Chicago and University of Illinois at Chicago, Hickey dabbled with architecture, photography and printmaking through the years but has remained most passionate about painting. Hickey’s first collage was exhibited at a U of I student show in 1986 and started her on the road to collage as social commentary — taking current media images and manipulating them to express her own feelings and opinions. Her first job out of college was as an activities assistant at a nursing home in Portland. Her passion for collage intensified as she

used it to help non-verbal residents express themselves through selection and placement of images. She became hooked on working with elders and diverged from the traditional art teacher model. She went on to manage the case management department at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, and become their Arts in Healthcare liaison within Samaritan Health Services, offering free art activities to hospital employees and commissioning the first piece of art specifically created for the hospital — a glass mosaic by Sharon Wiggins. While preparing for “In the Details,” Hickey created some encaustic pieces in Neretin’s studio. “Painting with her, watching her “choreography,” is an intimate glimpse into her world at peace,” Hickey said. “Sharing energy, materials, colors, with Buff

for days at a time transcends what I can do alone.” Hickey’s encaustics are mainly external landscapes, impressions of blocks of color, lines of energy, patterns seen in nature. Her collages, made with images from popular culture, are filled with social commentary and the acrylic paintings are meditative and personal. “More than any medium, the acrylics are affirmations of my artistic identity via repeated themes and palettes,” she said. “The slower, more intimate process of painting with such fine brushes is meditative. I start with an idea, lay down the outline or central image and then converse with the colors. Small and intuitive, these fine line works that take time often wind up instructing me. That’s why some of these old works were easy to come back to. They were not only the

creative play of art; they are ongoing life themes and issues. I translate my thoughts into paint, and the paint, in turn, guides me deeper into my self.” The show will be available to view through May 4

at the Chessman Gallery, located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-994-9994, or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter. org.

artsy Newport will be awash with easels, palettes and brushes this coming week, as the Watercolor Society of Oregon holds its spring 2015 convention, which includes a major exhibition at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The show, entitled “Making Waves,” opens on Saturday, April 11, with a reception from 4:30 to 6 pm, kicking oﬀ six days of exhibits, workshops and breakout sessions open to members and non-members alike. Ruth Armitage, event cochair said the convention’s more than 200 guests will be making their mark on the town. “Be on the lookout for painters around Newport during the weekend,” she said. “You might be able to spot them painting at a lighthouse or along the waterfront, or in their natural habitat dining at one of Newport’s ﬁnest restaurants.” Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the “Making Waves” exhibit includes more than 80 watercolor works by Watercolor Society of Oregon members, as selected through a jury-review process.

“The exhibit will take full advantage of what the VAC has to oﬀer in its premier gallery space,” facility manager Tom Webb said. Watercolorists in the exhibit include Patricia Schmidt, an artist featured in the winter 2005 Watercolor magazine and Splash Retrospective: 20 Years of Contemporary Watercolor

Excellence; as well as Rene Eisenbart, an artist recently awarded signature status in the National Watercolor Society and an internationally known arts instructor. Twenty of the works will be chosen as award winners and will go on to travel throughout Oregon. Gale Webb, a signature

member of many societies, including the American Watercolor Society, the Northwest Watercolor Society and Western Federation, will be the exhibition’s juror and workshop instructor. Webb will be traveling from Lubbock, Texas, to share her acrylic and collage techniques. For more information on workshops and breakout sessions, go to

Founded in 1966 with 85 artists, the Watercolor Society of Oregon has grown into a statewide organization whose primary activities include holding exhibitions of members work and providing education opportunities, both for the members and others interested in the creation and appreciation of the visual arts.
