DEPOE BAY — Dungeness and duckies share the spotlight as the town’s harbor hosts the Annual Crab Feed and Ducky Derby this weekend. And few sights can compare to seeing the community hall packed to capacity with mallet-wielding diners, each attacking a freshly cooked crab dinner. See page 26

LINCOLN CITY — Most people find it difficult to drive past a garage sale. There’s something about the allure of other people’s stuff that exerts an almostirresistible pull. Take that pull and multiply it by about a hundred this weekend, as Lincoln City hosts the Great Oregon Coast Garage

Sale, with bargains the length and breadth of town. See page 24

HEBO — When it comes to bait, organizers of this Saturday’s Family Fishing Day can go one better than a bucket of worms. The event offers free fishing for kids aged under 12, along with onsite instruction and loans of fishing gear for the whole family. See page 8

NEHALEM — Starsky and Hutch, Penn and Teller, Bert and Ernie; the world is filled with double acts so famous that one name just doesn’t sound

from the editor right without the other. High on anyone’s list of unforgettable duos are Oscar and Felix, the mismatched roommates from Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple.” See the Riverbend Players’ take on this comedy classic, opening this Saturday. See page 19

Seasoned to perfection

Newport symphony announces summer line up Tickets are now on sale for the three fabulous, familyfriendly concerts that make up the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s summer season. In addition to the everpopular Independence Day concert, the season will feature duets from two rising stars of Broadway and a pair of concerts from chart-topping artist Judy Collins. The season kicks off on Saturday, June 18, when New York will come to Newport in the form of Broadway stars Elena Shaddow and John Cudia. The duo will sing thrilling and romantic duets from a host of classic musicals, including “Guys and Dolls,” “Man of La Mancha,” “Oklahoma” and “My Fair Lady.” On Monday, July 4, the orchestra will continue its longstanding tradition of performing a free Independence Day concert as a gift to the whole community. Filled with big band marches and favorite American songs, this year’s show also features a special guest star, classical vocalist and Oregon’s own Miss America 2002, Katie Harmon. Starting at 4 pm in the gymnasium at Newport Middle School, the concert will also be broadcast live on KYTE radio, 102.7 FM. New this year, the Grand Old 4th of July BBQ will offer hamburgers, hot dogs, classic dishes, ice cream and soft drinks from 2:30 to 4 pm, with all proceeds benefiting the orchestra. The summer season will conclude on Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9, with two performances featuring gold- and platinum-selling artist Judy Collins. Collins won her first Grammy Award in 1967 for her cover of Joni

A PHILHARMONIOUS EVENING Judy Collins

One of a kind

The Newport Symphony Orchestra is the only full-season, professional orchestra on the Oregon coast. In addition to its regular season of classical concerts, every year it presents a summer season of music designed especially for visitors and families, often combining popular artists, show tunes, movie themes and orchestral pops. Tickets for all upcoming concerts can be purchased online at NewportSymphony.org and by phone at 541–265–ARTS from the box office at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 West Olive Street.

Mitchell’s “Both Sides, Now,” but her biggest success came in 1975 for her recording of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns” on her best-selling album “Judith.” She has been touring the world ever since, entertaining audiences with her sublime

vocal talents that cover genres from folk to show tunes to rock and roll. All of this summer’s concerts will be conducted by the orchestra’s musical director Adam Flatt. For tickets, go to NewportSymphony.org.

Music-lovers of all ages are being invited to experience the intense sound of a full symphony orchestra during what has become a treasured annual event in Newport. The Salem Youth Symphony Philharmonia Orchestra, or SYPSO, will offer a free public concert at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Monday, April 18, performing excerpts from “Carmen” by Georges Bizet and the Wedding March from “Midsummer Night’s Dream” by Felix Mendelssohn. SYPSO’s arrival in Newport is made possible by the Newport Symphony Orchestra, which works to increase music opportunities for youth living on the coast. This event is the perfect opportunity to introduce young music-lovers to the world of orchestral instruments and sound. In fact, on the same afternoon of the public concert, 3rd graders from all over Lincoln County will be brought to the Performing Arts Center to hear the youth orchestra perform. For many students, it

will be the first time hearing a live symphony orchestra. SYSPO conductor Jon Harris-Clippinger always finds many lively ways to connect the students with the music, the musicians and their instruments. He challenges the audience to identify snippets of orchestral music from popular movies performed by the string, woodwind or horn sections. The regular SYSPO full orchestra features more than 50 middle- and high-school aged advanced musicians from the Salem area, with complete string, winds, brass

and percussion sections. But the group performing at Monday’s concert will be even larger, with five members of the Newport Youth Symphony of the Oregon Coast invited to join in: Sophie GoodwinRice, Emily Nance and Cole Theodore on violin, Leland Wood on viola and Drake Simon on flute. The evening concert for the public will begin at 7 pm at 777 W Olive Street. Admission is free but donations to the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s youth programs are welcome.

A man filled with beauty T

Rick Bartow

welve years ago, I was on a mission to find the neighbors of a man arrested (wrongly, as it would turn out) for a terrorist attack. I have never been big on showing up unannounced on the doorsteps of strangers and so it was with great reluctance I worked my way around the neighborhood of South Beach. I found no one, which was a bit of a relief but didn’t do much for getting the job done. Then I spotted a man weed whacking. He worked with his back to me. Of course, the last thing you want to do is walk up behind someone who not only has no idea you are there, but wouldn’t know you from Eve if they did. But after a few very loud “hellos” and much waving of the hands, I got his attention. Despite the camera and notepad, he greeted me with a smile and extended hand. And that is how I met the artist Rick Bartow. On that day, we talked a few seconds about the supposed terrorist, and then we got down to the business of getting to know each other. He invited me inside the little house that was the family homestead, introducing me to his wife and young daughter. He offered me something cold to drink, water or juice, as I recall, and then talked of his family, of his life on the Oregon Coast. I left that afternoon with a catalog of his work and the knowledge that I had just spent time in the company of a world-renowned artist who was as humble and kind as any man I’d met. ••• I was in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, two weeks

ago when I learned Rick Bartow had died. I’d never gotten to know Rick well, but I had had the honor of working with him on a couple of stories. Once, we chatted about the banner project in Nye Beach. Despite the many thousands of dollars his work brought worldwide, Rick was generous enough to donate a banner of his own. He told me of the time his wife and newborn daughter needed medical care, but they had no insurance. The community had rallied to their aid, and he was forever grateful. Giving his art was one way of giving back, something he did gladly and often. Later, I was privileged to meet with Rick in the shop where he worked on the project he called the “cherry on my lifetime cake.” It was the art installation, “We Were Always Here,” for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. The story behind the art, two 20-foot poles carved in symbols of Native American lore, was amazing in itself — starting with the art competition he failed to win, followed some time later by the call offering a second chance of sorts. Then came the daunting task of finding the wood, including a 350-year-old tree he was able to secure with “a lick and a promise” and another 1200-year-old tree. It was, in his words, “a lot of magic and a lot of mystery and a whole lot of spirit.” Adding, “But first of all, it is a real scary job.” When I sat down with him in the summer

of 2012, I recorded our interview, something I rarely do. I did it because I knew he would have so much to say, and I worried about my ability to capture it all and get it right. When I’d finished the story, I popped the chip out of the recorder and tucked it away in my safe. I didn’t know what I would do with it, and I still don’t, but I like the idea that one day, I can pull it out, pop it in and listen to Rick talk about the raven and the bear, the sun and the moon, about water, “one of our greatest medicines.” The day after Rick died, a friend shared a youtube video (https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=kpDouPKsBn8) of Rick at the celebration of his installation at the Smithsonian. He ended the interview with this, “There is a wonderful, wonderful Native American poem and I use it quite often … where the old man, he says, ‘Look at me. What do you see? An ugly old man, but inside I am filled up with a great beauty.’” And so he was. • On the coast, Rick Bartow’s work can be seen at the Newport Public Library, Café Mundo and the Newport Performing Art Center. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years. She lives in Newport, where she freelances for a number of regional and national publications. Follow her at loritobias.com.

Newport’s Nye Beach Writers Series is going wild this weekend, with a visit from Evelyn Searle Hess, author of “To the Woods: Sinking Roots, Living Lightly, and Finding True Home.” In a Saturday, April 16, appearance at the Newport Visual Arts Center, Hess will share what she has learned first-hand about living an off-grid lifestyle. In their late 50s, Hess and her husband left their comfortable Eugene home to begin a new life in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. For the next 15 years, they lived in a tent and trailer on their 20-acre site. “To the Woods” details the couple’s quest to build lives in harmony with the planet, exploring the challenges at various levels of interlocking nests: house, ecosystem, social and economic systems,

To serve and connect Lincoln City training event aims to create citywide concierge network Where can you get good beer on the Oregon Coast? Can you pair that beer with the mussels that people pull from the rocks? And if the mussel harvesting doesn’t go as planned, which restaurant would make a good backup plan? The answers to all these and more will be on offer this Friday, April 22, when Love Your Lincoln returns to the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Aimed at Lincoln City business owners, managers — and, most importantly, their front-line staff — the event delivers a crash course on everything that’s fun to see and do in the area. Participants will benefit from a host of rapid-fire presentations from 9 am to noon, capped off by a free lunch from noon to 1 pm, provided by the Taft Culinary Department and sponsored by the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. One of the organizers of the event is Dave Price, a member of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors and also the director of Small Business Development & Community Education at Oregon Coast Community College.

Not so ‘boring’ “This is technically a customer service workshop,” Price said, “but our committee gets bored by the phrase ‘customer service workshop,’ so we’ve designed a fast-paced, fun and informative event that will feel like anything but.” Price said the event will feature short, five-minute presentations from representatives of attractions and destinations from across Lincoln City and beyond. “Our goal,” said Heather Hatton, president of the chamber of commerce, “is to arm all of us in the room with as much information as we can about the topics our customers — visitors coming to Lincoln City this spring and summer — will be asking us about. We’re out to make the entire town one giant, friendly, helpful and

Sufi, so good?

Lincoln City glass artist Kelly Howard is among the morning’s speakers

well-informed concierge desk.” The event will also feature a short talk on customer service on the coast by David Gomberg. Gomberg owns Northwest Winds kite store at the D River Wayside and manufactures kites for sale across the globe. He lives here, and represents Lincoln City in the Oregon Legislature. “David is entertaining, he’s committed to growing small businesses on the coast, and he’s dedicated to serving his customers,” Hatton said. “People will love his talk.”

It pays to attend The Love Your Lincoln team recognizes that paying employees to spend three or four hours in training is a sacrifice for small businesses, and have designed the event to make that decision a little easier for local firms. “This is a great professional development opportunity,” said LYL Committee member Roger Robertson.

“Your employees will learn skills they can use for years to come at this event, and they’ll be able to better serve your customers the very next day because of it.” Beyond that, Price added, businesses that send employees “on the clock” will be entered to win one of three $1,000 summer advertising packages. “We’re giving away three powerful ad programs to businesses simply because they paid for one or more employees to attend,” Robertson said. Packages will be given away for $1,000 each in prepaid summer advertising in The News Guard, on the stations of Yaquina Bay Communications and in the Oregon Coast TODAY. “The more employees who sign in that morning and who are being paid for this training workshop,” Hatton said, “the more entries your business will receive.”

Registration Admission to Love Your Lincoln

is free, as is the lunch from noon to 1 pm, but pre-registration is required. To register, call 541-994-4166 or go to oregoncoastcc.org/love-your-lincoln. If your business or attraction would like to provide literature or posters at the event, call 541-994-4166 for assistance. Any business with one or more attendees present will have the chance to distribute information or display posters or flyers about their products or services. This year marks the third annual Love Your Lincoln. The event is presented by the Small Business Development Center at Oregon Coast Community College, the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. The Love Your Lincoln Committee includes Patrick Alexander, Roger Robertson, Monica Valencia, Scott Humpert, Heather Hatton, Lori ArceTorres, Nonni Augustine and Dave Price.

An introduction to the Sufi tradition will be on offer in Lincoln City this Sunday, April 17, as Rev. Dr. Cynthia Clayton presents “Rumi’s Beloved: The Sufi Path to Oneness.” Clayton will be discussing the path of the Sufi, using poetry from 13th Century Persian mystic Rumi as well as her own work. Herself a Sufi Cheraga, or minister, Clayton was born on Rumi’s birthday and has shared her spoken word at hundreds of venues. She said Sufis are the mystics within all traditions. “There are Christian Sufis and Sufis that are Buddhist, Native American, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Muslim, Jewish and Goddess traditions, just to name a few,” she said. “They believe there is only one eternal being, united with all the illuminated souls, forming the embodiment of the master, the Spirit of Guidance.” The Sufi path focuses on unconditional love for all people and all traditions, and merging into an ecstatic state of oneness with the all-pervading presence they passionately and deeply relate to as “The Beloved”. Clayton’s talk will begin at 11 am at Unity by the Sea, 1922 NE 17th Street. For more information, go to CynthiaDClayton.com

Spring classes include “Funky Printmaking,” “Aboriginal Acrylics: Dot Painting,” “Georgia O’Keefe Watercolor Florals,” “Amazing Tesselations (M.C. Escher)” and “Doodle Cartoons.” In the final two classes, students will work in teams to create public arts pieces as part of the Nye Beach Banner Project.

The instructors have remarked how creative the kids are, and, of course, more students are

welcome.” Artwork by four students in the Art Fridays fall and winter sessions was recently selected for inclusion in the 2016 Honoring Our Rivers anthology, a statewide collection of student artwork and writing focused on rivers and watersheds.

A group of Tibetan Monks from India’s Gaden Shartse Monastery will visit the Oregon Coast later this month to share details of their culture and practices through a series of lectures. Appearing at the Samaritan Center for Health Education in Newport, the monks will present “Care For the Sick and Dying” on Monday, April 25, “Varavidharan Purification & Healing” on Tuesday, April 26, and “Spirituality & Everyday Life” on Wednesday, April 27. The lectures will run from 7 to 9 pm each evening at 740 SW 9th Street. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. Previous tours have provided funds for construction of new buildings at Gaden Shartse, as well as helping to pay for medical needs, teachers’ salaries and the day-to-day expenses of supporting the monastery. Gaden Shartse Monastic College is situated amid lush green hills and jungle

in the remote countryside of southern India. It was founded in 1969 after the monks were exiled from China in the Cultural Revolution and made an effort to re-establish one of the great monastic traditions of Tibet. Today, the college is at the forefront of the revival of Tibetan Monastic education, with more than 1,600 resident students, teachers, scholars, and spiritual practitioners.

More than 70 percent of the members are between the ages of 10 and 25, four out of five of whom were born in Tibet. To this day, young monks arrive at the monastery weekly from Tibet, seeking shelter and education. Due to the success of the academic program and the quality of the teachers at the monastery, Gaden Shartse has established a reputation as being the leader in the field of Buddhist and Tibetan studies.

The dog-eat-dog world of the English Tudor court will be on full display in Newport this Saturday, April 16, at the Met Opera Live in HD première of “Roberto Devereux.” Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queens in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills — and not attempted on a New York stage since. In this climactic opera of the trilogy, directed by Sir David McVicar, she plays

AN ODD NUMBER

on stage

For Neil Simon comedy, audiences have a couple of options

T

his week, no matter where you find yourself on the Central Oregon Coast, you will never be more than about 50 miles from a production of Neil Simon’s timeless comedy “The Odd Couple.” But audiences still have a choice to make. Prefer your comedy in the original, classic form? Drive north to Nehalem for a show from the Riverbend Players. Like to spice things up with a little gender reversal? Head south to Yachats where One of Us Productions have turned the quirky tale on its head.

Nehalem

Yachats

Director Betsy McMahon presents Brian McMahon as Oscar and Mike Sims as Felix, a pair of roommates both pushing their own neuroses and obsessions out into the world, with a disregard for people around them. Their card-playing buddies add zingers and crazy comedy antics to the production: Michael Sommers as Roy, Mike Scott as Speed, Jeff Slamal as Murray and Michael Dinan as Vinnie. Things get even more interesting with the entrance of the Pigeon sisters: Sedona Torres as Gwendolyn and Sue Jelineo as Cecily — a pair of daft, giggly, good-time girls who lend a sense of lightness to Oscar and Felix’s bickering. The play runs from Saturday, April 16, through Sunday, May 1, with 7 pm performances every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées each Sunday, except Sunday, April 24. Performances take place at the North County Recreation District Theater, 36155 Ninth Street, Nehalem. Tickets are $15 and children 12 and under get in free. For information or The cast of The Riverbend Players’ production of advance tickets, call “The Odd Couple” 503-368-7008.

Ten out of Tenor

A comedy that hits all the right notes, “Lend Me A Tenor” has had audiences at the Newport Performing Arts Center singing its praises for the past two weeks. Directed by Darcy Hogan, Ken Ludwig’s notorious farce combines an inventive script, physical humor, witty comedic timing and fast-

paced dialogue for hilarious results. The show takes place in 1934 as the Cleveland Grand Opera Company prepares for the arrival of internationally acclaimed tenor Tito Morelli, known in opera circles as Il Stupendo. He is scheduled to perform “Otello” for one night only, and General Manager Saunders is

One of Us Productions presents Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple — Female Version,” a contemporary comedy directed by Johnni Prince. Neil Simon’s 1985 re-imagination of his 1965 original swaps Oscar and Felix for Olive Madison and Florence Unger as the bickering roommates. What starts as Olive’s sincere effort to help out after Flo’s marriage suddenly falls apart, evolves into a hilarious string of minor tensions and major flare-ups about orderliness, responsibility, personal space and everything else. With the help of their Trivial Pursuit-playing friends and two handsome Spanish neighbors, Olive and Flo survive three weeks as the most mismatched roommates of all time. “These characters are delightfully ‘Odd,’” Prince said. “ One minute you want to hug them and the next, you want to choke them! A lot like real life, wouldn’t you say?” Lorraine Barrett plays Olive, with Debbie Coxey as Flo, accompanied by Hannah Barrett as Sylvie, River Benson as Renee, Marcie Pickner as Vera, Jodi Smith as Mickey, Carl Foster Miller as Manolo Costazuela and Zach Barrett as Jesus Costazuela. The show runs until Sunday, April 24, at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 North, with performances at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Tickets, $12, are on sale at Touchstone Gallery, Toad Hall, Ya-Hots Video Country Store, Waldport Video, and Crescent Moon A scene from the One of Us Productions Consignment, online at http://tinyurl.com/ show in Yachats odd-couple-tickets and at the door. determined it will be a success. Unfortunately, Il Stupendo arrives late, feeling ill. In order to save the grand opera evening, Saunders persuades Max to wear Tito’s costume and perform in the guise of Il Stupendo. Chaos soon reigns when Tito rushes to the opera house dressed in another Otello costume. Amid much door-slamming and headspinning activity, this is a show to be seen. The seasoned, veteran cast wholeheartedly embrace

the silliness with expert timing and mechanics. “Lend Me A Tenor” runs until Sunday, April 24, in the Black Box Theatre of the Newport Performing Arts Center at 777 W Olive Street, with 7 pm performances every Friday and Saturday, and 2 pm matinées every Sunday. There will also be one Thursday performance at 7 pm on April 21. Tickets, $15 or $14 for students, are available by calling 541-265-ARTS or online at www.octopusonstage.com.

Salmon and spruce will both be on the agenda for the Yaquina Birders & Naturalists as they invite everyone to join them for a pair of April activities. On Thursday, April 21, Wayne Hoffman of the Newport-based MidCoast Watersheds Council will give a presentation asking whether it is time for a paradigm shift when thinking about Coho salmon habitat restoration in the Yaquina Basin. “Since the 1990s, most habitat restoration for Coho has been directed at their habitat in smaller, wadable streams,” he said. “The Mid-coast Watershed Council now recognizes that habitat restoration also needs to address habitat needs for alternate life histories of Coho that rear in other habitats, including beaver ponds, larger mainstem rivers, freshwater marshes and estuaries.”

lively Different strokes descend for swim meet If you find Lincoln City teeming with wet-haired youth on an otherwise dry weekend in late April, there’s only one likely culprit — the Lincoln City Swim Club Invitational. The event, running from Friday, April 22, through Sunday, April 24, will bring about 300 swimmers and their families from throughout the Northwest to the Lincoln City Community Center at

2150 NE Oar Place. Longer events start at 6:30 pm on Friday, with relays and individual sprint races beginning at 9:30 am on Saturday and running until about 1:30 pm. Sunday’s competitions will start at 9 am and go until about 2 pm. Concessions will be on offer each day, including Mexican food, pizza and snacks. Pancake breakfasts will be

available at 9 am each day, with lunch starting at about 11 am. Visitors can also take part in a raffle for a chance at winning prizes including dining and aquarium certificates, a quilt, glass floats, and a 50/50 cash raffle where $599 is up for grabs. The cash raffle drawing is Sunday at noon and ticket holders need not be present to win.

Feeling ducky, dunk? The early bird gets the worm — so what does that say about the early ducky? Find out by buying your entries now for the Friday, April 25, Ducky Derby at the Lincoln City Community Center — at just 10 bucks per beak. The phenomenally fowl event will see the assembled duckies jostle for position as they careen down the water slide and into the community center pool, where high school

coaches will fish out the winners. All proceeds generated help fund middle school sports at Taft High 7-12. The event will take place at 6 pm at the community center, 2150 NE Oar Place. Ducks are $10 apiece and tax deductible, with entry forms available at Taft 7-12, Taft Elementary, Oceanlake Elementary, the Lincoln City Community Center and the Eventuary.

Tiki this one off the list All too often, we are forced to choose between supporting our local school district or dancing the night away in a tropical Tiki bar. But on April 23, guests at the 2016 Legacy Ball will get the chance to do both at the same time when the event returns for its 10 th year of raising money for

the Tillamook Education Foundation. This year’s event will transport guests to a tropical Tiki bar, inspired by the cultures of the South Pacific, where they can feast on gourmet hors d’oeuvres and a buffet-style dinner prepared by Pacific Restaurant. Guests can

dance the evening away to the musical styling of Homebrew and the Terrapin Horns, who are returning to play a mix of classic R&B, blues and dance music. Meanwhile, a raffle and live auction will give everyone the chance to take home a special souvenir. The event runs from

6:30 to 10:30 pm at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, 4603 3rd Street. Tickets, $40 per person or $280 for a table of eight, are available until Friday, April 15, at Oregon Coast Bank, 2211 N Main Avenue, Tillamook. Proceeds from the ball support grants, projects, and scholarships for the staff and students of Tillamook School District.

Serving up thanks Veterans are being invited to attend a special lunch in Newport on Friday, April 29, as a way for the community to thank them for their service. As part of the town’s Loyalty Day celebrations, a dedicated team of volunteers will serve up a free lunch of beef stew at noon at the Newport 60+ Activity Center, 20 SE 2nd Street.

To reserve a spot, veterans should RSVP to 541-2659617 by Tuesday, April 26. Newport is one of the communities that celebrate National Loyalty Day, observed annually on May 1 and dedicated to the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

BARGAIN JARGON Learn the language of the deal at the Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Bargain hunters will descend on Lincoln City this weekend for the chance of uncovering untold treasures at the Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale. With nearly a hundred individual sales from Friday, April 15, through Sunday, April 17, the sale offers something for all tastes. Vintage tea set? Check. Space Needle paperweight? Someone’s going to have one. Flippers? They’re in here somewhere… But the sheer onslaught of an entire town rolling up its garage doors and selling off its extra stuff can be overwhelming to some. So the TODAY is proud to present these tips for garage sale success from Lincoln City’s own preeminent pack rat, Kip Ward.

events center, both of which are packed to the gunnels with antiques, knick knacks and collectibles, has had a passion for bargain hunting ever since attending his first auction in Jefferson, Oregon, in 1976. “It was just wonderful,” he said. “It was like something incredibly addictive. You went into this old barn. There was a burn barrel in the corner for heat and Oregon rain hitting the roof. You load yourself up with a couple of hot dogs and check out all these magnificent antiques.” Ward’s finds at the Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale include the ocean-creaturethemed poker table that holds pride of place in the

lively Anchor’s game room. “You could look forever and never find that piece,” he said. “And I found it for 20 bucks.”

When to buy Ward said people looking for bargains are most likely to find them at two distinct times during a sale — when it first opens and right before it closes. He said buyers visiting the sale at opening time will find the maximum selection as well as the best chance of finding items that have been priced below value. “Most of the time, though, the prices will be high when they first open,” he said. Prices are likely to be lower right before the sale closes, Ward said, although many of the best pieces are likely to have been snapped up. “There you have items that are still perfectly good but maybe were mis-priced high,” he said. “Sellers have realized they are going to have to give them away. That’s when you get some really good bargains.

Origins of a pack rat Ward, owner of the Historic Anchor Inn and the Eventuary

How to find the gems “Everyone’s vision of a gem differs,” Ward said. “If it was the same, it would be awfully hard on the one gem.” “You can almost tell if it’s what you want from the street,” he added. “Don’t be afraid to drive by and come back later because there’s lots of sales out there.”

How to haggle “Haggling is a dance. It’s not a method, it’s a performance,” Ward said. “When someone tells you the price, it’s OK to hold you heart and faint — it’s alright to call out for Jesus and tell Aunt Ethel that you are coming.” Ward said sellers need to bear in mind that people are coming to the sale looking for bargains, and that buyers should not be afraid to point out minor flaws that could affect an item’s value. “Just remember,” he said, “as soon as you get home, likely it’s going into your garage and it will be in your garage sale next year.

Mistakes to avoid

Don’t worry about making a bad buy, Ward said — everyone suffers buyer’s remorse from time to time (sellers, not so much). Ward recalls one of his worst buys, a creepy, Halloween-style head that he picked up at a collector’s market for $15.

“Not two minutes later I started getting buyer’s remorse over this stupid head,” he said. “10 minutes later, I had a full-blown case of buyer’s remorse. I threw it in the garbage can. And the reason I did that was that it was one little moment of pain and it was gone; it was in my history.”

Never be afraid to ask Sometimes, treasures appear in unlikely places. When asked to name his greatest bargain find, Ward’s thoughts turn immediately to the sign from the old Green Anchor restaurant in Taft. “They were in the process of renovation and there was this beautiful wall with the sign painted right on to the boards,” he said, adding: “I asked the construction manager and he said ‘if you can take it down you can have it.’” After prying the sign from the side of the building, Ward reassembled it on the wall of the Anchor Inn’s dining room. “That was my best find ever,” he said, and it cost me nothing.” The Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale runs from Friday, April 15, through Sunday, April 17. Each sale venue is listed on a free map, available at various locations throughout town, including the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce office, 4039 Logan Road. For more information, call the chamber at 541-994-3070.

Crab life with both hands

The Annual Depoe Bay Crab Feed and Ducky Derby returns this weekend Visitors to Depoe Bay will have the chance to crack before they craft this weekend. All guests sitting down to eat at the Annual Depoe Bay Crab Feed and Ducky Derby will be handed a wooden mallet with which to attack their freshly cooked Dungeness crab, locally caught and served up hot with all the trimmings. Meanwhile, volunteers will be offering free model boat building demonstrations on both days of the event, giving the young and the young-at-heart the opportunity to build a boat to take home. And on Sunday, April 17, the Ducky Derby will see hundreds of colorful bathtub ducks released to race in “the world’s smallest harbor.” Prizes for winning ducky “jockeys,” all provided by Depoe Bay merchants, include clothing, dining passes and a nearly 400-year-old silver shipwreck treasure coin. The silver treasure coin was recovered from the wreck of the Sao Jose, a Portuguese trading ship that was attacked in 1622 by Dutch and British warships as it was heading to India. On board was the grandson of famed explorer Vasco De Gama, who was on his way to take his post as Viceroy of India. And guests who wonder what life on the high seas is like in the modern world will get the chance to find out by taking a tour of the Coast Guard patrol and rescue boats moored at Station Depoe Bay, which will be holding an open house throughout the weekend. Visitors can also check out Depoe Bay’s claim to be “Oregon’s whale watching capital” by dropping by the Whale Watching Center just across the harbor, where park rangers are ready to help spot gray whales. The center is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm and admission is free.

Model boat building will also be on offer for the young and young-at-heart

If you go The crab feed will run from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday, April 16, and 11 am to 3 pm on Sunday, April 17, at the Depoe Bay Community Hall, 220 SE Bay Street. Whole crab meals will be $25 and half crab meals $20, each including coleslaw, garlic bread and a beverage. Indoor and outdoor dining will be available, with a selection of thirst-quenching brews in the beer garden courtesy of the Rusty Truck Brewing Co. For more information, contact Nick Bruyer at the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce by calling 541-270-3944 or via email at r8vegas@gmail.com. Volunteers will be serving up freshly cooked Dungeness throughout the weekend

Break out the kitchen scissors The Lincoln City Cultural Center will unveil its newly remodeled commercial kitchen at a Business After Hours and ribbon cutting set for Tuesday, April 19. Guests will get to tour the entire facility including the kitchen, classrooms, visitor center and auditorium while enjoying wine, beverages and finger foods. “We spent most of last year in some degree of construction, from the flood repairs to the commercial kitchen to the sprinkler system to the sound-rated doors in the auditorium,” said Executive Director

Niki Price. “Now, the work is all finished and we want to show it off.” The kitchen, which was paid for through private fundraising efforts and regional foundations, will be used to help the cultural center host events safely and affordably. It will also be available to the public to rent in conjunction with events booked at the center, as well as to the weekly Farmers Market. Home to the Chessman Gallery and the Lincoln

City Information Center as well as a host of classes from dance to weaving, the center is open Wednesday through Monday from 9 am to 4 pm. The Business after Hours will start at 5:30 pm at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy.
