Moolack Shores — I know the coast rocks. You know the coast rocks. But no-one knows the coast’s rocks better than Guy DiTorrice. For years “Fossil Guy” has been sharing his decades of experience as a rock hound by leading fossil-hunting expeditions along the Oregon Coast. And this week we are proud to partner with Guy in offering our readers and advertisers a half-price fossil expedition. TODAY contributor Gretchen Ammerman took the trip and has a full report on page 16.

Depoe Bay — Handcrafted wooden boats are beautiful things to behold: the detail of the carving, the luster of the varnish, the simple beauty of the lines. But all that admiring is bound to leave you with an appetite, which is why Depoe Bay’s Classic Wooden Boat Show comes complete with an onsite crab feed, allowing guests to refuel with a fresh Dungeness before going back for a second look.

Lincoln City — While it is rude to talk about a woman’s age, it’s also fair to say that Mother Earth has been ticking along for a fair few years. She’s looking good for a 4.5-billion-year-old but can still use a little help to tackle those wrinkles. Get tips on how you can help out at the Earth Day Festival.

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y L O R I T O B I A S

AI GOOD COVER STORY was not yet in the double digits when I experienced my first full solar eclipse. It was a Saturday in March 1970. I was at my girlfriend’s house in central Pennsylvania, waiting and watching with her and her mother, Gloria. Gloria was the worrying kind, anxious about everything — toilet seat germs, lecherous old men and of course, on that day, that we might be blinded by the sun. As I recall, we were equipped with some sort of homemade pinhole viewing device, but even with that, Gloria urged us to stay inside. Less a cause for celebration, it felt more like the potential ending of the world. I wasn’t so sure I liked this idea of night when it was supposed to be day. Nine years later, another full solar eclipse occurred, this one visible in the U.S. primarily in the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Rockies. Jaci McKim lived in Shelton, Washington, when that eclipse occurred. Thousands of people traveled from all over the world to see it. ABC even aired a News Special, with one reporter comparing the excitement to that of the first manned space flight and another, exclaiming, “This is just the most exciting thing I think I’ve ever participated in.” McKim was as amped about it as everyone else. Alas, it wasn’t to be. “I had a job interview that Jaci McKim day and so I had to be in the shower,” she recalled. “It really upset me.” Just how much she had missed became clear 12 years later when her sister was lucky enough to catch the 1991 eclipse in Hawaii. “She said, ‘You can’t imagine how incredible it is. It just does things to your soul.’ I thought, ‘Go ahead, rub it in.’” And so the two made a pact that in 2017 when the next full solar eclipse occurred, they would meet at the Stonehenge monument in Goldendale, Washington, to watch it together. But years later when McKim and her sister, both by then in Depoe Bay, started to research the eclipse, they discovered Goldendale will only experience the partial event. “So, I started researching how far are we going to have to drive to see the total eclipse,” said McKim,

who writes the Scuttlebutt table toppers found in restaurants around Depoe Bay. “Turns out we will only have to walk out our driveway.” As you may have heard, two years, four months and handful of days from now, a full solar eclipse will occur, and the first place the moon will cast its shadow over the Earth will happen right here at a point between Depoe Bay and Lincoln City. “This is something big,” McKim said. “Something most people have not witnessed. It is going to be major.” McKim has already rented a house in Lincoln Beach that sleeps 29 for the friends who will fly in from England, Washington. D.C., Florida and beyond. And she’s not the only one planning her life around August 21, 2017. “There are people out there who do nothing but go from eclipse to eclipse each year,” she said. “There is a very well-founded rumor that NASA has already reserved 50 rooms just for this event.” It will no doubt be memorable, and hopefully for all the right reasons, though the crush of people

expected guarantees there will be a certain amount of havoc. But it will likely be short lived, as will the eclipse. There will be about an hour leading up it and then just two minutes when the moon, passing between the sun and the earth, blocks out the sun. It’s a moment described by the TV reporters in 1979 as “eerie,” “exciting” and “a spectacular sight.” “I know different people I have talked to who ranged in age from 20 to 80,” McKim said. “Each one has their own special eclipse story.” I, too, have an eclipse story. I remember that it grew darkish, not totally black, but dark in a way that felt a little creepy in the middle of the day. I remember that save for a brief, brave sprint to the back porch, we did not go outside. We did not look at the sun. We did not go blind and the world, of course, did not end. Not exactly life changing. I’m hoping this next eclipse leaves me with a story just a little more special. I’ve already starting work on my pinhole viewer.

A cracking event The Crab Feed & Classic Wooden Boat Show returns to Depoe Bay

Freshly cooked Dungeness crab is just one of the attractions at Depoe Bay’s annual crab feed, which takes over the town’s harbor this weekend. Guests will also get the chance to check out the vessels on display at the 21st annual Classic Wooden Boat Show and try their hand at building their own craft at the model boatbuilding booth, with free admission to both. Meanwhile, indoor and outdoor dining options will be available for the Dungeness crab dinner at the Community Hall, located by the harbor at 220 S.E. Bay Street. Volunteers will be cooking thousands of pounds of locally caught Dungeness crab to perfection from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday, April 18, and 11 am to 3 pm on Sunday, April 19. Whole crab meals will be $25 and half crab meals $20,

with both options including coleslaw, garlic bread and a beverage. This year, for the first time, Rusty Truck Brewery will be serving up a selection of their outstanding handcrafted Oregon Coast brews in the Crab Feed’s beer garden. The Crab Feed and Wooden Boat Show coincide with whale watching season, when Gray whales and their newborn calves are heading north to Alaska. Several local businesses offer boat trips to get visitors up close and personal with these migrating giants, while the Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center is an ideal spot for landlubbers to scan the horizon. For more information, call the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce at 877-485-8348 or 541765-2889 or go to www. depoebaychamber.org.

For the price of a $5 ticket, derby competitors could win one of dozens of prizes contributed by local merchants. Among the top prizes are an authentic 1783 silver dollar recovered from the Spanish galleon El Cazador, which sank in the Gulf of Mexico while on its way to New Orleans. Other prizes include a five-hour fishing adventure from Depoe Bay’s own Dockside Charters; gift certificates for local restaurants including Gracie’s Sea Hag, Mazatlan and Thai Bay; and wines from the Depoe Bay Winery and Adelsheim’s tasting room.

Steak out your spot now An American classic will be on offer in Yachats on Friday, April 17, as the Yachats Ladies Club holds its annual Swiss Steak Fundraiser Dinner. A mainstay on the Yachats social calendar for many years, the event began when Ladies Club member Huck Huckins hit the history books to research the Swiss steak recipe — which calls for round steak to be pounded, floured, browned and then smothered in carrots, tomatoes and turnips. During a long oven braise, the

vegetables cook down into a savory, satisfying gravy while the steak becomes almost tender enough to eat with a spoon. “Sadly, over the years, Swiss steak became the province of school cafeterias and the victim of mid-century convenience trends,” she said. “But made right, it’s a wonderful supper.” Friday’s feast will feature scrumptious, tender Swiss steak accompanied by mashed potatoes, crisp garden salad, bread roll, beverage and marionberry

cobbler all for $15. Only 85 dinners are available so come early. A silent auction will provide entertainment for eat-in diners, while to-go boxes are available for those who can’t stay. All proceeds will go to the club’s Kitchen Appliance Upgrade Fund. The event will run from 5-7:30 pm at the Yachats Ladies Club, 286 W. Third Street. For more information, call 541-5473205.

Water way to celebrate Earth Day

Another day at the office for Dan DaVinci

Prepare for an illuminating evening Master entertainer Dan DaVinci will light up the room on Saturday, April 18, as he headlines the Laughs for Lighthouses fund-raiser at Newport’s Hallmark Resort. DaVinci has two Guinness World Records, has toured with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, and has multiple appearances on the Tonight Show. His special blend of comedy and juggling antics is the main attraction at the fund-raising event, which also features a silent auction. Tickets are $40 apiece and

include appetizers and dessert catered by the resort. Proceeds from the evening will help the nonprofit Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses continue its efforts to restore and maintain Newport’s two historic lighthouses. Doors open at 6:30 pm for browsing and bidding on silent auction offerings, with DaVinci’s show beginning at 7:15 pm. For more information, call 541-574-3129 or email foyl@ yaquinalights.org.

Oregon’s window to the underwater world will go green on Saturday, April 25, when the Oregon Coast Aquarium celebrates Earth Day. Guests will be able to practice identifying marine debris, learn about reusable products and contribute to a collaborative art piece called “Wave of Change.” “We host this annual celebration to encourage the public to engage in positive behavior changes for the benefit of a healthier environment and lifestyle,” event organizer Beth Hawkyard said. “It is a wonderful feeling to know you are reducing your impact on our planet.” Visitors can also take a guided walk on the wild

side through the aquarium’s naturescaped grounds led by Head Groundskeeper Anita Albrecht. The 45-minute tour will give walkers a good look at this restored natural landscape, which has been honored with a wildlife habitat certification from the National Wildlife Federation. The walk will depart from outside the lobby at 1 pm. Pre-registration is not required and all activities are included with general admission. The aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport, and is open every day from this spring. For more information, go to www.aquarium.org or call 541867-3474.

He will also give advice on how to choose a wild food guidebook as well as guides on wild owers, wild berries, and trees. Kallas has investigated edible wild plants since 1970 and taught about them since 1978. A trained botanist, nature photographer, writer, researcher and teacher, he has a doctorate in Nutrition and a master’s in Education. He is the founder of Wild Food Adventures and the Institute for the Study of Edible Wild Plants & Other Foragables, and was the primary writer and editor of the Wild Food Adventurer newsletter. He is the author of “Edible Wild Plants: Wild Foods From Dirt to Plate,â€? a book that aims to make wild foods understandable and usable by the general public, from gardeners and chefs to home cooks and the nutritionminded consumer. Copies of the book will be on sale for $25 following each class. The presentations cost $15 per person and will take place at 10:30 am and 11:45 am. This program is geared for adult audiences and registration is required by Sunday, April 26. To reserve a spot, call 866-930-4646 or stop by the Tillamook Forest Center, located 26 miles east of Tillamook on Highway 6.

A free-ranger experience Few things beat a leisurely stroll along the trails at the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area just south of Yachats. Few things, that is, with the exception of a stroll in the company of an expert naturalist who can tell a spruce from a hemlock at 40 paces. The new “Walk with a Rangerâ€? series will see retired chief park ranger Michael Noack lead hikes along easy-to-moderate trails at noon every Monday, starting April 20. “This is a great opportunity for people to connect with nature, while sharing the experience with others,â€? Noack said. During the 30- to 60-minute hikes, Noack will share information about the local ora and fauna, while participants will have the opportunity to get to know one another and make new hiking friends. Hikes will depart from the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, located three miles south of Yachats on Highway 101. Participants should dress for variable coastal

F

or people who care about the environment, it seems that good news is sometimes hard to find. But Lincoln City’s Earth Day Festival bucks that trend by packing in more positive, Earth-friendly fun than you can shake a stick at. The Saturday, April 18, event will see the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center filled with everything from educational booths, demonstrations and local vendors to live music, art projects and face painting. Running from 11 am to 2 pm, the free event will offer lots of kids’ activities, including a recycled art workshop using beach plastic, and a screenprinting station where kids can decorate their own t-shirt or other printable items. Guests can browse booths from local vendors offering products made out of recycled or reused materials; plant starts; and meats produced locally by Walker Farms. Groups including Buy Local, the Lincoln County Master Gardeners, the Humane Society, Camp Westwind and Surfrider will also be on hand to provide information and answer questions. The Urban Monroes, an award-winning band from Portland, will take to the stage to perform a mix of traditional and contemporary bluegrass. And tasty lunch fare will be available to buy from Enrique’s Authentic Mexican Taqueria, whose owners make everything from scratch with as many local products as

plant from the area’s cold rains. Meanwhile, the Hydroponic Lettuce Tub allows people to grow salad greens hydroponically without electricity, pumps or wicks of any kind — a cost-effective way to produce favorites such as lettuce, watercress, spinach, chard, parsley and kale. Palmer will also demonstrate Self-Wicking Veggie Sacks, which provide results similar to an expensive hydroponic system, but without the expense or hard work Lastly, the Backyard Chicken Dome is a solution for people who want an easy way to protect chickens from predators while also

Seeing is be-weaving While the Earth Day Festival wraps up at 2 pm, the fun does not end there. Guests are invited to make the six-block stroll from the cultural center to the D River Wayside for the unveiling of an outdoor art project created by local high school students. Students wove the sculpture together from natural materials primarily gathered during routine pruning at Lincoln City’s Open Spaces. The City collaborated on the project with the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, whose former artist-in-residence Karen White provided guidance for the student

artists as part of the Sitka Emerging Artist Program. The pilot program aims to engage local high school students in a series of art experiences led by professional artists to help broaden their artistic skills and opportunities. The piece will be on display for several months and will be removed once weather and time decompose the work past its intended appearance. The Sitka Emerging Artist Program will begin again with a new group of students in fall 2015 and run through the school year with three to four sessions. For more information about the event or Sitka’s programs, go to www. sitkacenter.org or call the center at 541-994-5485. The unveiling will take place at 2:30 pm at the D River Open Space at NE 1st Street.

Dogged devotion to art Two dog lovers are combining their talents for the latest Spotlight Show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery, which opens on Saturday, April 18. Works by Marrianne St. Marie and Lila Passarelli will be on display through May 1 at the gallery, located at 789 NW Beach Drive. St. Marie, who is based in Waldport, works primarily

with watercolor, goauche and mixed media on a variety of surfaces. Her passion for animals is reflected in her subject matter, which includes pets and other living beings. Her natural painting style is relaxed and whimsical, and her art is intended to bring a smile to those who see it. Passarelli, a member of the

art association since 1977, is also fond of animals as subjects, although paintings of Oregon lighthouses, seascapes, landscapes and the occasional flower can be found in her studios. In addition to oils, Passarelli will she displaying some encaustic works. The gallery is open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.

R E M M A H Get ready to rock the coast with our special fossil-hunting offer

Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

The Earth is a restless planet, continually burying then exposing creatures and plants that have lived and died upon it. Along Oregon’s beaches, it is possible to find embedded in stone bones, shells and even leaves that date back about 20 million years. And on hand to help find these souvenirs from the past is “Fossil Guy” Guy DiTorrice, who leads regular fossil-hunting hikes on the coast’s beaches. Following each walk, Guy bags and tags each of the treasures collected by the group, including information about the era it is likely from.

On a blustery spring afternoon, I joined Guy and a small group of self-described “rock hounds” to learn about, and hopefully find, a few things that had burst forth from the Earth’s crust after spending millennia underground. Although it is illegal to actually dig into the cliffs along the beach, there are enough exposed rocks on the beach between the high and low tide lines to keep a fossil collector quite busy, even making it a challenge to limit what they bring home to the allowed three gallons per day. On the bluff above the beach, Guy shared techniques that seekers could employ to increase their chances of making a good find. “You want to make a color

correction for your mind,” he said, explaining that using color can help avoid wasting time when hunting. “Dark gray you should avoid, because it’s harder than the rock hammer, and there’s nothing in it.” Other tips include how to identify bone, a task that Guy explained in terms that even the most tender novice could understand: “What you want to look for are straight lines,” he said, “and spongy stuff.” Ready to put our new knowledge to work, we scrambled down a short trail to the beach and arrived at a rocky stream that required some attention to cross. As we looked down to watch our step, Guy pointed out a fairly large fossilized scallop shell that was obviously, some might even say suspiciously, exposed. The attractive wedding of shell and rock set a fire in our bellies for making such a discovery un-coached. We combed the stretch of beach, occasionally

bumping into one another because looking up even for a second could cost a discovery. I found some fossilized clams, which were still cool as they were millions of years old, but could not quite compete against the now seemingly elusive scallop. Guy tried to pique my interest in one of my clam finds by showing me a tiny hole drilled into one shell. “A snail drilled that hole and ate the clam that was inside while it was still living,” he said. “What you’re looking at here is a crime scene.” After a period of allowing

us try our luck unassisted, Guy assembled the group. “What do you see?” he asked, holding up what can best be described as a “rock.” It was clear there was a correct answer to the question, but as we glanced sidelong at one another, it was equally clear that none of his rapt students had a clue what it was. Guy turned to Astrid Larsen, who had traveled from Seattle with her partner, Richard Johnson, specifically to hunt for fossils and petrified wood in Oregon. “Okay,” he said, “take the rock and hit it carefully against your rock hammer along one of the cracks.” Visibly nervous, Astrid did as instructed. Tap, tap, tap… tap, tap, tap… nothing. And then, just as we began to think we were being had, the rock split in two and

revealed a large fossilized scallop shell. After a collective bout of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs,’ we went back to our search for a similar rock with renewed fervor. Astrid, the scallop whisperer, found at least one more fine specimen, as did her partner Richard, but I was destined to return home with only my memories, my clams and a new set of eyes. The next scheduled fossil field trip is on Monday, April 27, at the Moolack Beach wayside, located a quarter mile north of Moolack Shores Motel (south of Beverly Beach State Park). Participants should wear good walking shoes and dress in layers. Fossil hikes cost $39 and are free for children 12 and under accompanied by a paying adult. For more information, find Guy DiTorrice on Facebook or email oregonfossilguy@hotmail.com.

A great play-ce to learn Anyone who has seen the wonder-filled expression on the face of a child visiting the Oregon Coast Aquarium knows that learning starts long before kids get to elementary school. And, on Saturday, April 25, the aquarium will team up with Western Oregon University to teach parents and educators how play during children’s early years is connected to learning and development. The free workshop explores how to connect children with nature through hands-on sessions focused on an education method called nature play. “Creative natural play spaces and activities promote social, cognitive, physical and emotional development, especially during early childhood,” said McKenzie Reeves, the aquarium’s education specialist. Participants will spend the day exploring the world of learning through a child’s eyes. Adults taking the course will

assume the role of playing children as they explore these education methods. Participants will leave with ideas for creating their own natural play spaces and developing age-appropriate nature play curriculum. The course may be counted toward Professional Development Unit requirements for childcare providers and Western Oregon University students.

Lincoln City Indoor Market

learn a little

The natural choice for summer learning With what must rank as one of the most picturesque campuses anywhere in the world, it’s a wonder that any work at all gets done at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, just north of Lincoln City. But staff are gearing up for another busy summer as registration opens for more than 100 workshops that offer students of all levels the chance to explore art, writing, ecology and music. Sitka’s art offerings range from traditional topics like plein air painting and nature photography to unconventional workshops including sculpting with kelp, sculptural papermaking, sand painting and insect illustration. Writing workshops center on poetry, essay and memoir as well as topics that embrace Sitka’s natural setting such as Earth Verse taught by celebrated poet Kim Stafford. Sitka also features ecologyfocused kayak trips and an overview of local habitat restoration projects. “Whether your aim is for a one-time experience or to push your creative work to the next level,” program manager Caroline Brooks said, “students have the opportunity to take time for themselves, break away from their hectic lives and to delve deep into a dynamic subject.” Workshops run from one to four days and are geared primarily for adults, with some offerings for

youth and families. Tuition costs range from $20 to $155 per day and scholarships are available to cover up to half the cost for adults who require financial assistance. Scholarship applications are available at www.sitkacenter.org

and the deadline to apply is April 30. A full listing of courses is online and catalogs are available by request. For more information or to register, go to www.sitkacenter. org or call 541-994-5485.

Dozen’t it sound real nice?

Never has the old saying “you learn something new every day” been truer than when applied to Saturday, April 25 — when the Oregon State University Extension in Tillamook will offer 12 classes on everything from flower arranging to raising backyard chickens.

Jill Johnston and Penny Eberle from Hidden Acres Garden Center will present “Kitchen Door Gardens, with a pinch of folklore,” a class that provides students with everything they need to create container gardens filled with edible and ornamental herbs, vegetables and medicinal

plants. The class also includes covers some of the folklore, magic and mystery associated with certain species. Meanwhile, Rich Little’s “Garden Myths, II” gives students the chance to get the real dirt on some of the myths about gardening. The “Batch Cook” class will

show how to prepare meals for large groups, including taco bake, lasagna and chicken and rice. In “Dahlia Care and Culture,” Harry Coffman will give students pointers on how to grow the vibrantly colored flowers in the garden as well as how to use them in flower

arrangements. For serious gardeners, classes include “Dealing With Garden Insect Pests,” “Raising Backyard Chickens” and “Pasture Management” as well as two classes on hoop houses. “Planning for a Hoop House” will teach students what they need to consider before

buying the structure, while “Have a Hoop House?” will help them get the most from their investment. All classes are $7, with additional supply fees for hands-on classes. For more information or to register, go to http:// extension.oregonstate.edu/

Teddy — times two

Can you spare the time? Putting a dollar value on goods and services has become second nature to all of us, but one Oregon Coast group is giving people the chance to assign another value instead — hours. The Lower Columbia Time Bank will hold an open house in Pacific City on Saturday, April 18, to introduce the concept of time banking. The system lets people earn time credits for providing services to others in their communities or neighborhoods, such as mowing lawns, sharing tools, offering rides to appointments, putting up a fence or showing someone how to use a software

program. Members can then spend their time credits on services provided by other time bank members. Based in Astoria, the Lower Columbia Time Bank allows members to list their skills and services online as well as using the group website to keep track of time credits and debits. The open house will run from 10 am to noon, at the South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp Street. Anyone joining the group this month will receive a three-hour credit to add to their time bank account. For more information, call Linda Werner at 503398-5223 or go to http:// locotimebank.org.

Lincoln City will receive 50th birthday wishes from another of the Oval Office’s most famous occupants on Saturday, April 18, as Theodore Roosevelt interpreter Joe Wiegand delivers two rousing performances as the Rough Rider in Chief. “Lincoln City was named for President Lincoln,” said North Lincoln County Historical Museum director Anne Hall, “but early place names like Roosevelt by the Sea, Camp Roosevelt and the Roosevelt Coast Military

Highway reflect Lincoln City’s enthusiasm for this president.” Prior to becoming Teddy Roosevelt, Wiegand had a 25-year career in politics and public policy in his native Illinois. In 2008, after serving as campaign manager for gubernatorial and presidential campaigns in the Land of Lincoln, he set out with his wife, Jenny; daughter, Sam; and golden retriever, Faith, on a 50-state tour celebrating Roosevelt’s sesquicentennial birthday and the centennial of Roosevelt’s

final year in office. His vivid and rousing one-man theater show shares stories about the 26th president that are full of adventure, laughter and inspiration. Through the eyes of Roosevelt, audiences relive the establishment of America’s great National Parks, forests, monuments and wildlife reserves. Wiegand’s portrayal of Roosevelt describes how the frail young boy built his body and dedicated himself to the “vigorous life” including his adventures as a rancher, a

Both appearances are funded by the Lincoln County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Community Foundation in support of Lincoln City’s 50th Celebration.

Plant yourself in the audience The Lincoln County Master Gardeners series of round table discussions will continue at a new location and time on Thursday, April 23, with a presentation from landscaping professional Patrick Osborn in Newport. “Landscaping Plants for the Coast”

will include horticultural tips for growing and maintaining a healthy, beautiful yard along with photographs sure to ignite the landscaping imagination. Osborn, of Thompson’s Nursery in Waldport, is known for his expertise on interesting plants that flourish in the

northwest climate and soils. Guests are encouraged to ask questions. The presentation will run from 3 to 5 pm in the Fireside Room at the Newport Nazarene Church, 227 NW 12th Street, one block west of Highway 101. The event is free but guests should call

Piping in a little music Lincoln City-based Celtic band Pipedance will add to the town’s Community Days festivities with a free performance at the Driftwood Public Library on Wednesday, April 22. Gary Burman and Nora Sherwood began to perform together in 2001, drawn together by a true love for Irish music and dance. The duo’s traditional sound is complemented by Nora’s percussive sean nós dancing, which makes Pipedance performances a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Burman is a balladeer and lifelong musician who plays uilleann pipes, guitar, flute and whistle, among many other instruments. He is a craftsman who builds his own pipes and will be playing instruments he built himself. Sherwood is a retired champion Irish step dancer who ran an Irish dance school in Colorado before moving to Oregon. She plays whistle and bodhrán as well as singing and dancing in the traditional sean nós style. She was named Folk Musician of the Year at the Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish

WHY ARE YOU READING THIS? Festival in 2008 for her sean nós singing. The duo will be accompanied on stage by their Willamette Valley friends Bo Leyden on mandolin and bouzouki, and Brad Johnson on guitar and concertina. The all-ages performance

will start at 6 pm at the library, located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@ lincolncity.org.

Where words and music meet Manzanita’s Hoffman Center will host a celebration of the magic that happens when music and poetry collide on Sunday, April 19, when Colorado jazz duo Chris Lee and Colleen O’Brien take to the stage. Throughout the years, the duo, who perform together as Primal Mates, have performed poems that have been set to music, music that has been set to poems, and music by some well known writers who were also accomplished composers. Sunday’s concert, “Where Words and Music Meet,” will be devoted entirely to this genre. Bringing vibes, voice, cello and percussion together to form an inspired original repertoire, Primal Mates create music with vision — a unique, sometimes haunting and always mesmerizing journey through an intimate musical landscape.
