TILLAMOOK — Since moving to the coast, I had always known somewhere in the back of my mind that someone once built a hotel out on Bayocean Spit — that perilous sliver of land separating Tillamook Bay from the Pacific Ocean. But, until my recent trip to the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, I had no idea that Bayocean Hotel was just the icing on an entirely more bizarre and ambitious cake. The museum’s new exhibit, “Bayocean Park: A Grand Notion” lays out the history of an attempt to turn the spit into a beach getaway to rival Atlantic City; and the watery fate that befell the resort.

NEWPORT — As the recent arrival of NOAA’s Pacific Fleet dominated the headlines, it is sometimes easy to forget that Newport has been home to a contingent of NOAA scientists for many years — based in the Hatfield Marine Science Center. The center is also home to scientists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Environmental Protection Agency, Oregon State University and more — all working together for the good of our oceans. Get a peek behind the scenes at Marine Science Day this Saturday.

ome new year’s resolutions are tougher to keep than others. Eating more fruit? Pretty easy. Eating less cake? Extremely tricky. So, how about killing your wife? Well, if the new play from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is anything to go by, it’s a lot harder than you might expect. “A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody” begins on New Year’s Eve, with a pair of unusual resolutions from wealthy-but-bored couple Matthew and Julia Perry. Matthew, keen to follow in the jet-setting footsteps of his recently widowed best friend, vows to kill Julia before the year is out. Julia, however, resolves to survive — setting in motion a yearlong game of wits that soon has almost everyone but the intended victim dropping like flies. Written by Ron Bernas and directed by Joni Sauer-Folger, the play has people dropping dead in just about every season as Matthew’s murder attempts miss their mark time after time. TAPA veterans Bill Farnum and Sarah Edwards take the roles of Matthew and Julia; with Robert Kratz filling the role of Buttram, the butler who — as all the best butlers do — has something to hide. Real life couple Ali and Brett Duer play the Perrys’ dimwitted daughter, Bunny, and her fiancé, Donald, whose wedding plans are put at risk as their guests keep turning up dead. Completing the cast in the role of the bumbling Inspector Plotnik is TAPA

The Williams Lecture Series at Oregon Coast Community College will continue on Thursday, April 17, with a presentation from Jade Aguilar of Willamette University on how gender affects our daily lives and identities. “Mind the Gaps: How Gender Shapes Our Lives,” will look at the disparities that still prevail between the genders and what they can tell us about society’s values and priorities. Aguilar is an assistant professor of sociology and women’s and gender studies. Her broad areas of study are gender, sexuality and family; and her main area of focus is the study of intentional communities. “From the moment we are born, gender shapes every aspect of our lives: our interests, opportunities, and how we move through the world,” she said. “In the twenty-first century, disparities among the genders still prevail, especially the intersections of race, class, immigration status, and geography. What can these disparities tell us about society’s values and priorities? How can we better understand the complexities of gender’s effects on our daily lives and identities?” The free conversation will take place at 7 pm in the Community Room of the college’s Central Campus, 400 SE College Way, Newport. For more information, contact Bryn Huntpalmer at 541-867-8531 or bryn. huntpalmer@occc.cc.or.us The Williams Lecture Series is sponsored by Oregon Humanities, an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust.

One to Chekhov the list
“Anton in Show Business” pairs comedy and pathos with a whole lot of Russian around Story by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
P
Photos by Nancy Jane Reid
eople looking for a fast-paced comedy will not be disappointed when “Anton in Show Business” opens in Newport this weekend. But audiences in search of something more meaningful will also have plenty to think about after the final curtain falls on the satirical romp. The Jane Martin play has won praise from Variety as: “a smart, acerbic crowd pleaser... Simultaneously a love letter and a poison pen letter to the American theatre.” And, on Friday, April 11, the Red Octopus Theatre Company and director Marc Maislen will put their own signature on the work, with the first performance in a three-week run at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The play tells the story of a small theater company in San Antonio, Texas, trying to organize a performance of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters.” Maislen said the three central characters clearly echo the three sisters in Chekhov’s tale and are brought to life by a script that demonstrates both great humor and a tremendous sense of pathos. “They are giving everything to theater in the way that the three sisters gave their whole lives, as they knew it, to Russia at a time that society was changing,” he said. With the action beginning at an audition in New York City, the audience is introduced to the three very different women who each hope that “Three Sisters” will be their big break. Holly, a successful soap opera star, is hoping that appearing in a classic play will pave the
way to roles on the big screen. She is joined by Casey, a veteran Off-Off Broadway actor who has slogged away at unpaid roles for more years than she cares to remember; and Lisabette, a Texas youngster ready to pack in her teaching job to pursue her theatrical dreams. Maislen said the play goes on to satirize every aspect of American theater — from directors to producers to sponsors — and at every level, from local productions to Broadway spectaculars. “The state of American theater has really degraded because, in all these different venues, people are trying to get their piece of the pie,” he said. Maislen said the play highlights the constant struggle of theater at every level to bring in enough money just to keep the lights on. “What is the value of theater?” he said. “How do we culturally reflect on ourselves through that?” This is a question Maislen has had a long time to ponder, having dropped out of college in 1970 to pursue a career in dance and theater that has spanned more than 40 years. During his time in New York City, he served as the assistant director for the American Mime Theater, a group that has been staging plays without words since 1952. Now a permanent resident of Newport, Maislen is deeply involved in the local arts scene and, in recent years, began to notice a recurring complaint from the community’s female actors — “How come there are not more roles for us?” It was a complaint Maislen took to heart and he decided to devote the coming few years to an exploration of female playwrights who write great parts for women. “Anton in Show Business” has a 14-strong, allfemale cast comprised of Nikki Atkins, Katie Barlow, Barbara Berge, Karlia Bertness, Khloella Brateng, Tricia Chandler, Linda Curtice, Mary Eastman, Brooke Higgins, Wynn Johnson, CJ McCarty and Audrey Young. Several of the actors play multiple roles and, in a move that turns theatrical tradition on its head, some play men as well as women. Maislen said the cast’s experience levels range from

former professional actors to people who have appeared in a few high school plays, making for one of the most challenging but rewarding parts of the production. “The hardest part was being able to integrate that so that there was a uniformity on stage of a high quality,” he said. “The older and more mature actresses were able to share with the younger; and everyone’s input was valued.” Maislen said the cast resolved early on that they would be fearless in their approach to the script, developing a supportive bond that allowed each member to be comfortable trying risky things. “That heartbeat is apparent on stage,” he said. “And that’s a beautiful thing to see.”
“Anton in Show Business” opens on Friday, April 11, and runs through Sunday, April 27, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday as well as 2 pm matinées on Sunday, April 20, and April 27. There will also be a 7 pm performance on Thursday, April 24, while Thursday, April 17, will be a “Women Only Night” with a 7 pm performance to benef it the My Sisters’ Place domestic abuse intervention program.

When a notion meets the ocean Guests enjoy the view from the Bayocean Hotel Photo courtey PDXhistory
New exhibit lays out the watery fate of Bayocean Park By Patrick Alexander
S
Oregon Coast TODAY
tanding on Bayocean Spit, with the Pacific Ocean crashing on one side and the calm, blue expanse of Tillamook Bay on the other, it becomes clear why the coast’s first people dubbed this area the “land of many waters.” And it is all too easy to see how the spit itself, a narrow, four-milelong finger of land stretching relentlessly into this kingdom of water, could inspire men to try and match wits with Mother Nature. These grand plans — and the watery fate that befell them — are laid out in “Bayocean Park: A Grand Notion” the new exhibit at Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. The idea of Bayocean Park was born in 1906, when T. Irving Potter caught sight of the spit when boarding a boat on Tillamook bay. Convinced that the thousand-yardwide peninsula could be the perfect spot for a West Coast getaway to rival Atlantic City, Irving took the idea to his father, T. Benton Potter, a successful Portland developer. Benton shared his son’s enthusiasm and the two began buying up land claims to the spit and making plans for a lavish resort. While the natural surroundings
were stunning, the obstacles to development were immense, with the spit having neither roads nor a water supply. The Potters quickly set about bringing in water, using springs from Cape Meares fed through pipes made from oak bound with wire. Roads, however, were to remain elusive for many years, meaning the Potters had to bring in prospective buyers by boat. Nevertheless, interest in the expertly promoted resort was high and the Potters found a way to make money almost from the start. In 1911, they opened a three-story hotel that was state of the art for its time, boasting electric lights, telephones and automatic fire
sprinklers. Despite its luxury frills, the building was intended to eventually serve as the servants’ quarters for the main — and far grander — hotel the Potters planned to build but which never came to fruition. Also in 1911, the Potters launched a motorized yacht christened The Bayocean to take visitors from Portland along the Columbia River and down the coast to the spit. The largest privately owned ship on the West Coast, The Bayocean could take 100 passengers on the journey, which often lasted several days. Once at the resort, guests had their pick of activities — from sightseeing trips to surfing, swimming and even rabbit shooting — while evening entertainment was on offer at a grand dance pavilion. But the very grandest attraction on the spit was the natatorium, which housed a 160-foot indoor pool complete with wave machine, waterfall, bandstand. The pool, filled with gently
Originally named the Bayshore Hotel Annex, the three-story building was intended to house servants for the main, far grander, hotel that was never built. Right, is an artist’s rendering of the proposed grand hotel.

warmed salt water pumped in from the ocean, could accommodate 250 bathers, with room for 1,000 spectators in the stands. Ever the promoter, Benton Potter said the pool so mimicked the Pacific Ocean that it could “fool old King Neptune himself.” All the while, guests wowed by the beauty and the amenities were snapping up building lots as fast as the Potters could put them on the market. By 1914, the Potters had sold 1,600 lots on the spit and, having raised enough capital to build out the project, withdrew the rest of the property from the market. Over the years, Bayocean Park blossomed into a full-scale town, with a post office, a public school, a bowling alley and a 1,000-seat movie theater. But the resort’s glory days were not to last and the exhibit also charts the gradual decline of the community as it fell, piece by piece, into the Pacific Ocean. Blame for the erosion that plagued the spit is laid squarely at the feet of the jetty installed at Barview on the north side of Tillamook Bay in 1917. The Army Corps of Engineers warned that having a jetty on the north side without a counterpart to the south would alter the ocean currents and put the spit at risk. But Tillamook County did not have the money for its share of the cost of a south jetty and, by 1920, Bayocean Park property owners started noticing erosion.
An expansion of the north Jetty in 1933 only made matters worse and, by 1949, twenty homes had been lost to the ocean. But erosion was not the resort’s only problem. Completion of a road connecting the spit to Tillamook in 1928 led to a surge in vandalism targeted at the often-empty holiday homes. During the Great Depression, the mischief escalated into outright looting. From 1939 onward, Bayocean suffered several major washouts, culminating in a 1952 storm that severed the spit entirely, leaving it an island. As the spit eroded, the hotel and natatorium fell into the sea. Many property owners moved their homes to the mainland and, save for a few holdouts, Bayocean became deserted. In 1970, a south jetty was finally built and the spit began to return. It is now maintained as a county park offering a four-mile pathway popular with horse-riders, dog walkers and a resident herd of elk — with scarcely a sign of the grand notion that briefly graced its sands. “Bayocean Park: A Grand Notion” is on display through July 25 at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, 2106 Second Street, Tillamook. Museum hours are 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is $4 for adults: $3 for seniors aged 62 and up: $1 for kids aged 10 to 17; and free for kids under 10.

Bird lovers who want to get the most bang for their buck might want to consider joining the Audubon Society of Lincoln City for its birding tour of Siletz Bay on Saturday, April 12. The bay and Salishan Spit provide diverse habitat; and participants on last year’s April walk ended up spotting 36 dierent types of bird. The walk will follow the Salishan Nature Trail along Siletz Bay toward the beach, hopefully oering sightings of small perching birds, gulls and ducks as well as raptors and other water birds. If there is time, the group will then caravan or carpool to Kernville, Cutler City and Taft for several other views of birds in Siletz Bay. This trip oers short easy walks to viewing areas. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided but participants are advised to dress for the weather. The Salishan Resort is located about four miles south of Lincoln City. From Highway 101, turn west at the stoplight across from the main resort entrance and meet at the Salishan Marketplace at 9 am.

Yakima to Newport
— the long way ’round
Veteran rhythm and blues performer Wayman Chapman will add the Oregon Coast to his impressive résumé when he steps on stage at Cecil’s Dirty Apron in Newport on Saturday, April 12. The Northwest native has carved out a career that has spanned five decades and included a world tour with Oleta Adams and stints as a headline entertainer in Hong Kong. Born in Berkley and raised in Yakima, Washington, Chapman started playing guitar at the age of nine and was soon playing in local bands. “My dad had this old guitar, which I still have in the corner of my room,” he said. “I used to run around the house trying to pretend like I was Elvis Presley.” “I just got a natural love for music,” he added. “Always have.” In 1971, Chapman moved to Los Angeles, where he played recording sessions at studios including Ike & Tina Turner’s Bolic Sound in Inglewood; and the Jackson family studio at their Encino estate. From 1986 to 1988, he played with Pressure Point, one of the finalists in Ed McMann’s “Star Search,” which went on to open for Gregory Hines and Dionne Warwick at The Las Vegas Hilton. In 1992, Chapman packed his bags for Hong Kong, having been selected to join the Mojo Six for a six-month stint at the Grand Hyatt. After the contact ended, he stayed on in Hong Kong, writing and producing music and putting his distinctive, deep voice to work in TV and radio ads. But it was in 1995, when back in the US to spend time with family, that Chapman received perhaps his biggest break. His childhood friend Oleta Adams, with whom he had sung in the church choir in Yakima, was riding high on the success of her Grammy-nominated cover of “Get Here” by Brenda Russell. Adams was looking for a bass player and vocalist for her “Moving On” World Tour, and Chapman was top of her list. The pair performed in 25 major cities across the US during the tour and, in the years that followed, went on to play together at jazz festivals all over the world. After the tour, Chapman recorded “Thought

Crimes” an album of seven original songs, topped off with Bonnie Rice’s “Mustang Sally” and “Pink Cadillac” by Bruce Springsteen. Another stint in Hong Kong followed, as Chapman put together a band to play at his old stomping grounds the Grand Hyatt in 2006. But, while he enjoyed the metropolitan lifestyle offered by the vibrant island city, he still missed home and the abundant nature of the Pacific Northwest. Now based back in Eastern Washington, Chapman hopes to become something of a regular on the Oregon Coast music scene. His April 12 gig at Cecil’s Dirty Apron, starting at 7 pm, will feature local reggae star Rodney Turner on percussion, with a playlist that will include R&B, funk, rock and roll — and even a little country. “I get all over the place,” Chapman said. And, with a résumé like that, who are we to argue?

The Neskowin Chamber Music series will welcome back an audience favorite on Sunday, April 13, when the Amelia Piano Trio returns to help celebrate the organization’s 20th season. The trio, formed in 1999, began to attract national attention after participating in Isaac Stern’s Chamber Music Workshop in 2000. As a result, Stern became a mentor to the group and presented their debut in Carnegie Hall. Since then, they have appeared in many major halls around the country, from Seattle to New York and have also served as National Public Radio’s Young Ensemble-inResidence. The group joined the roster of the Concert Artists Guild in 2001 and went on to
win the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. Based in Corvallis, the trio performs both classical pieces and new music in what one critic called “charismatic and extroverted performances.� Original members Anthea Kreston on violin and Jason Duckles on cello were joined in 2010 by pianist Andrew Armstrong. The April 13 concert will begin at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, three miles north of Neskowin, just west of Highway 101. Tickets are available at the door for $25; call ahead to get on the list. For more information, go to www. neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-9656499.

Art that’s sure to cause a flap T
he return of migrating birds is normally a good guide to the changing of the seasons, but when giant bird nests start cropping up inside your art gallery, you know for sure that spring has sprung. The giant nest sculptures of Karen White are just one part of the “Framework for Feathers” show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery, which opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, April 11. Refreshments will be available. The show, which aims to celebrate the coast’s vibrant and diverse bird populations, also features woodcarved birds by Jon “Andy” Anderson and reverse painting on re-purposed windows by Evan Peterson. White’s sculptures are often the product of group efforts, a process the artist says helps give all participants a firm connection to nature. “In examining and collecting individual elements, I began to create works of assembled materials that emulate the transformations of nature and intuitively celebrate the patterns and cycles I witnessed,” she said. “As a result, my artwork became a conduit to connect with communities and the natural world.” The centerpiece of White’s work at the “Framework for Feathers” show is a 5-foot-wide bird nest, a piece she said encourages viewers to contemplate nature and their place in it. “Working in public spaces and interacting with the casual onlookers, allows viewers to discover a new environment growing within an

unfamiliar setting,” she said. Alongside White’s natural sculptures, guests can admire the reverse paintings of Evan Peterson, who renders his works on the glass panels of reclaimed doors — combining intricate details with a loose style to reveal bold, expressive images. Since moving to Newport from Minnesota 12 years ago, Peterson has drawn inspiration from the area’s rich culture and natural surroundings to develop a technique that is unconventional and beautifully complicated. His work has been shown all over Newport as well as in galleries in Seattle and Portland. Completing the show are the wood carvings of Jon “Andy” Anderson. Born in Montana, Anderson grew up with a deep love of nature; hunting and fishing with his family, but never had any particular interest in art and went on to a career in the Air Force. It was not until the early 1980s, that he took his first carving class, having run into the same wood carver numerous times while tagging along with his wife to art fairs. Shortly after, he was hooked. Within a couple of years he was transferred to the East Coast, the epicenter of decoy woodcarving, and had the opportunity to further his education by taking classes and attending woodcarving shows. Anderson started carving ducks and later became interested in songbirds and relief carving. He then moved to the West Coast and began carving fish, which has been his focus for the past few years. He has entered his carvings in many competitions, received numerous awards and has taught classes and judged woodcarving shows throughout the US and Canada. Currently, he carves for family and friends, with the occasional commission. “Wood sculpture has been a high point in my life” he said.”Wood sculpting folks are the most friendly and helpful anyone could experience. With the support of my best friend and wife, Christine, I could not have wished for a better life.”

Waving goodbye
wo and a half years ago, Thomas Arndt moved from Colorado to the Oregon Coast, the dream of sailing the Pacific already fixed in his heart. Rather than rent an apartment, Arndt chose the 30-foot sailboat Nimbus for a home and began readying for his epic journey. “It’s going to be a very spiritual endeavor,” Arndt told me days before setting sail for Tahiti. “Being away from absolutely everything … being at the mercy of the planet, it is going to be absolutely life changing. I can only assume it will be life changing for the best.”

nce, we’d very nearly bought a sailboat. It was 21-foot MacGregor and for a $500 deposit we got to put our name on a list with other wannabe sailors waiting for their boat to come in. The big guy promised we’d sail only nice, flat lakes. Sure. Until he grew bored, which I figured would take, oh, maybe six months. Then, I’d be on my way across the Pacific, probably never to be heard from again. In the end, it was money that saved me. Owning a sailboat isn’t cheap. There’s insurance and mooring fees and all sorts of things with dollar signs attached. We just
couldn’t do it. I delivered the grim news to the hubs; he canceled his order and went back to dreaming of someday. And I, lucky I, got a reprieve from what I figured was a sure destiny to be lost at sea. At least for the time. Yes, I loved the whole romantic notion of sailing. I credit my wanderlust to a man I grew up with who left everything in our little claustrophobic hometown to sail around the world. Of course, he also at 30-something taught my 12-year-old girlfriend to French kiss and later drank himself to death, so yeah, I guess you gotta be careful who pick for your role models. Still, sailing is romantic and worldly and sophisticated, it is the sport of those (unlike the working class moi) to the manor born. But the fact is, sailing on the big bad ocean still terrifies me. It scared Arndt, too. At least a little. He’d sailed on lakes since he was a kid, but never “blue water sailing.” “It’s like taking a big step into the unknown,” Arndt said. “I’m feeling many things. I’m nervous. I’m excited.” But he was also prepared. He thought. They’d packed six months of provisions, and “more safety equipment than I can ever hope to use.” The plan was for him
and Daniel Cooper to sail first to San Diego, then to the Marquesas in French Polynesia and on to Tahiti. Meanwhile, anyone could follow their progress at a website linked to the satellite tracking Nimbus. I envied Arndt. I envied his courage and spirit of adventure. I wished I had more of that in me, and I wondered, could I? Then I thought of the catamaran that had washed ashore after a particularly nasty storm. A single rope dangled from the boat. The deputy explained someone had probably tied themselves to the boat in hopes of staying with it. On April 2, I checked Arndt’s satellite tracker and saw the Nimbus had crossed the Yaquina Bay Bar and was headed south. The next morning, I checked again and saw the outline of a crooked triangle. The Nimbus was back home. Turned out, the light variable winds forecast were actually very big winds; the seas, huge. And both Arndt and Cooper became seasick — debilitatingly so. “It just kept picking up and picking up,” Arndt told me. “At one point we had to heave to, it’s basically like parking the boat.” In the end, all the provisions, all the preparations mattered little. Rather, it was mostly pure chance that got them home. “At the last minute, we brought along two others who wanted to go to San

Diego,” he said. “One was very experienced in sailing. The other was a very quick learner. I think it’s thanks to them we are safe and sound right now.” And I think the next time we hear that little voice, and it sounds like fear, we should consider that maybe it’s really just the voice of reason. And, all we have to do is listen. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

The anatomy of a surveillance state will be under the microscope at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center on Thursday, April 17, as Todd Miller reads from his book “Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Frontline of Homeland Security.” The book paints a picture of an entire country that has become a militarized border zone, including cities that don’t immediately come to mind like Fort Todd Miller Lauderdale, Miami, Buffalo and Detroit. In fast-paced prose, Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles the changing landscape, speaking with the people most involved, from border patrol agents to government contractors to vulnerable immigrant communities. He combines these firsthand encounters with careful research to expose a vast and booming industry for military-grade weapons, high-end surveillance technology and prisons. “While politicians and corporations reap substantial profits, the experiences of millions of men, women, and children point to staggering humanitarian consequences that can no longer be ignored,” he said. Miller’s work has earned praise from Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink and author of “Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote
Control.” “In Border Patrol Nation, Todd Miller exposes the underpinnings of this ever-expanding surveillance state” Benjamin said, “military contractors that rake in fat profits and bloated government agencies that keep extending their tentacles while the core of our neighborhoods withers from neglect. Miller reveals the humanity of both the victims and the victimizers, and the inhumanity of the system. A fantastic book.” The reading will start at 7 pm at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue, and will be followed by a Q&A and then an Open Mic where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $5. For more information, go to hoffmanblog. org or contact Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@ gmail.com. • On Tuesday, April 15, the Writers’ Series Reading Group will meet to discuss Miller’s book at 6:30 pm at the Manzanita Library, 571 Laneda Avenue
