This week’s top five

LINCOLN CITY — Brew some strong coﬀee, light up a Gauloise and prepare for an evening of bittersweet melancholy of an intensity that only the French can attain. Siri Vik returns with another performance of “La Vie En Rouge” her tribute to the French chanson tradition and the iconic voice of Edith Piaf. See page 23

NEWPORT — For most of us office types, paper is flat, oblong and normally whiter than a Bernie Sanders rally. But artists see something different in this pervasive pulp product — enough to make it the star of the Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival. See what marvels the

experts have come up with this year when the Instructors Show opens this Friday. See page 5

TILLAMOOK — If a tree takes a selﬁe in an isolated forest, does anyone hear the shutter click? This kind of thinking can drive a person mad. So let’s leave the tree photography to the experts — like Russell J Young, who unveils his “Seeking Silence” exhibit this month at the Tillamook Forest Center. See page 6

LINCOLN CITY — Cracking jokes at a wake is a risky business for your average Joe. But the folks

from the editor taking to the stage at this weekend’s Comedy on the Coast are trained professionals, who will have audiences rolling in the aisles as they pay tribute to their colleague and fan favorite Dave Anderson. See page 19

CLOVERDALE — Oregon’s bestkept secret just got even better with the opening of The Thomas Goodwin Gallery & Studio. This Saturday’s gallery opening will give guests the chance to check out Goodwin’s paintings along with photography from Julius Jortner and music from improvisational band Fiasco. See page 4

The most unique part of Thomas Goodwin’s not particularly unique dream of moving to a small town, opening a gallery in a beautiful setting and becoming a full time artist is that he has actually made it happen. “I’m living my dream,” he said. “It was more work than I thought it was going to be, but my new gallery has a wonderful studio for painting and it’s turned into a nice little place where people love to hang out.” The building, in “downtown” Cloverdale, features a river view in one direction and, in another, a pastoral scene dotted with the cows that characterize this dairy county. Goodwin says he would like the gallery to be a community hub for shows and events. And the first main event is set for Saturday, April 2, when Goodwin will show off his new space and his large abstract paintings, which he said people have described as “curvy cubism” and represent about 20 years of work. Joining Goodwin’s paintings at the grand opening will be the landscape photographs of Julius Jortner, a reporter, photographer and poet from Pacific City, who recently released his first book, “Just As.” As well as admiring the artwork and enjoying refreshments, guests will get to hear music from improvisational band Fiasco, an experimental group from Portland. “They will tweak people’s minds a bit,” Goodwin said. “But in a healthy way.” According the band’s bio, “The same piece is never played twice, and no plans are ever made nor respected.”

Goodwin, who has been making art since he was “drawing clouds when I was supposed to be paying attention to my teacher,” is excited about the ways his gallery will help further the recent energy that has come to Cloverdale. “There are new businesses in town, which is exciting,” he said. “It’s a great little town. I’m really looking forward to the future.” Already in the works at the gallery is a Turkish rug bazaar, which will happen from April 29 through May 1. The gallery opening will run from 3 to 7 pm on Saturday, April 2. The Thomas Goodwin Gallery & Studio is located at 34390 S. Hwy. 101 in Cloverdale.

A sculpted paper work by Kathy Karbo

A PAPER-VIEW EVENT Instructors at the upcoming Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival will be showing off their skills at an exhibit that opens this Friday, April 1, at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The Instructors’ Show will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm in the center’s Upstairs Gallery, and will include an artist’s talk scheduled for 6:30 pm. The exhibit will include work by 14 of the festival’s instructors, who number among the leading paper and book artists in the Pacific Northwest Participating artists are Cheri Aldrich of Newport, Heather Fortner and Sarah Gayle of Toledo, Moe Snyder of Seal Rock, Judilee Fitzhugh of Molalla, Kathy Karbo and Jackie Wygant of Portland, Arlene Warner of Medford, Randi Parkhurst and Jill Timm of Washington, Margo Klass and Connie Stricks of Alaska and Dollores Guffey of California. Visual arts Center Director Tom Webb said this year’s show has a stronger emphasis

Welcome to the fold

Now in its 21st year, the Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival continues to grow as the largest event of its kind on the Pacific Coast, with all-day and multi-day workshops focused on paper making and manipulation, surface design, book arts, paper dyeing, collage and mixed media. The festival runs from April 22 to 24 and registration for the workshops is currently open. For details, go to www. coastarts.org, email npaf@ coastarts.org or call 541-265-

on three-dimensional work, with pieces including mobiles, pocket books, journals, art boxes, Gyotaku prints, mixedmedia sculpture and shadow boxes. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the show will run through April 24, available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday at 777 NW Beach Drive.

The Coastal Arts Guild will welcome gyotaku artist Heather Fortner as the featured speaker at its Thursday, April 7, lunch meeting. Retired from the US Merchant Marine, Fortner now works out of her studio in Toledo, with the bounty of the Pacific Ocean as her printing subjects. Her work has been published and displayed in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan and her prints featured recently in books and articles on Nature Printing in both Japan and the US. Fortner’s passion for several years has been gyotaku, the Japanese art of fish rubbings, which resonates with her as the ultimate blend of the artistic and marine realms. She considers nature to be the world’s finest artist and reveres Mother Nature as muse, mentor and inspiration. Gyotaku is a printmaking technique that uses the body of a fish as the printing plate. Ink is applied to the fish; Asian rice paper laid against the paper receives the inked image in a transfer that replicates the details and texture of the fish in amazing detail. There are many different styles of gyotaku, and every gyotaku artist approaches the technique with different media and method.

“Tiger Rockfish” by Heather Fortner

Gyotaku also oﬀered a valuable life lesson to Fortner. By being able to express herself through the body of a ﬁsh, she discovered that she is instinctively creative. She now works the full scale of nature printing by including plants, seaweeds, insects and wood into her gyotaku scenes.

Fortner has been teaching workshops in gyotaku since 1987, from Alaska to Hawaii, and now in Toledo. In her presentation, Fortner will look at the subject of passion — how it can be the deﬁning aspect of a fulﬁlled life and can lead people in new directions they never imagined.

The lunch meeting will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. For more information and an invitation to attend, call CAG members Bobby Flewellyn at 541-563-8548 or Carol Deslippe at 541265-2624.

ENJOY A LITTLE ART

“Ode to Joy and Sorrow” by Russell J Young

The Tillamook Forest Center is celebrating National Poetry Month and Arbor Week at the same time with an exhibit that combines nature photography with literary extracts. “Seeking Silence” features inspiring tree images from Russell J Young alongside framed works from accomplished poets such as Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita Paulann Peterson. Young is a photographer, ﬁne art printer, visual and oral storyteller and director, motivated by his love of nature and visual arts. He has traveled and photographed in more than 30 countries, developing his passion for visual works and drawing inﬂuence from the elements of various art forms in the process. His photographs have been exhibited across the United States and Europe and continue to be published worldwide. On Sunday, April 10, Young will give a presentation on the exhibit, sharing how his landscape photographs come from a revelatory, wanderer’s process. By connecting visually and emotionally with images of a restful natural, Young said, viewers can share in the silence, the secrets and the bare beauty of the scenes. The presentation, which is free and open to all, will run from 10:30 to 11:30 am. The Tillamook Forest Center is located 22 miles east of Tillamook on Hwy. 6. It is open from 10 am to 5 pm and admission is free. For details, call 866-9304646. For more information on Young, go to www. russelljyoung.com.

The Newport Visual Arts Center is inviting art-lovers to take a very close look at its latest exhibit — a collection of miniature myrtlewood carvings from Reedsport artist Kimberly King. The show, entitled “Small Wonders” will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, April 1, with a talk from the artist scheduled at 6:15 pm. In addition to more than 40 miniature carvings, the exhibit will also feature porcelain and wood dolls. King took to carving myrtlewood soon after moving to the Southern Oregon Coast in 1994. She developed her carving skills under the tutelage of Abe Goertzen, a German immigrant from Russia whom she met in California. Previously she had focused on making porcelain figurines, which she sold out of a doll shop that she and her mother operated near Fresno. Since moving to Reedsport, Kimberly King has produced hundreds upon hundreds of gleaming wooden butterflies, cats, cranes and other animals, almost all standing less than five inches tall. Today, her work is primarily found at The Myrtlewood Gallery in Reedsport, just a few blocks from her home studio. In years past, King was the exclusive carver for Sutter’s Fort, a historical landmark in California for whom she

made replicas of the Patty Reed doll, a relic of the illfated Donner Party. At the time, King was just the third carver in Sutter’s Fort’s 150year history. King gives each of her miniature carvings special attention, using a bandsaw to establish the basic shapes and then stylizing each carving with Dremel tools, knives and sanders. Over the years, she has won various awards for her work in carving and doll making, including both First and Second Places in the 1989 Anaheim Doll show for her “Beauty” and “Beast” doll set. “Small Wonders” is the latest oﬀering from the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts’ Coastal Oregon Visual Artist Showcase, which features mid-career artists living on the Oregon Coast. The show will be on display from April 1 to May 28, available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

FLOATING A NEW IDEA

esse Dolin’s epiphany came while he was fishing on the Alsea Bay. (He might actually have been in his Yachats backyard shed, but how poetic is that?) In any case, Jesse suddenly realized that despite his commitment to caring for the Earth, he was polluting it with nasty toxic metal every time he fished. “I consider myself real thoughtful of the environment,” says Jesse. “But I’d been using lead sinking weights my whole life. That’s all that is available. I had an ah-ha moment. I thought, how could I throw a toxic metal into rivers and lakes? Slowly, I started dreaming it up. Lead sinkers have been banned in seven states and in all national parks in the US and Canada. My thought was to have an alternative.” And so began the story of Stoney River Sinkers — weights made of marble. “The only thing from a fish environment that a sinker could be made of,” Jesse says. Once the avid fisherman had the sinker in hand, he discovered a completely unexpected perk —unlike lead sinkers, his did not snag nearly so much. “I was catching more fish and losing less gear,” he says. “These sinkers ricochet off of rocks.” So, channeling his inner marketer, Jesse gave his sinkers to some fishing guides, then waited for their response. And waited. And waited some more. After a year, he checked in. It seems the sinkers had never been sunk. “They said, ‘It’s hard to try new things when what you are doing works.’” Fishermen, it seems, like most of us, resist what we don’t know. I am not a fisherman. I have attempted to fish maybe three times in my life, including the time the 35(ish)-pound King got away on the Kenai. For an instant, I understood the thrill of feeling the tug on end of the line, the disappointment, disbelief when the tug was gone. But that was the end of my fishing career. I do, however, have a fish story, one that came about when I resisted what I didn’t know. I was at my first journalism job at a radio station on the Kenai Peninsula. When the salesman called to report the rumors that someone had caught a King weighing close 100 pounds, this city girl responded, “Oh yeah, so what’s that mean, fishing season started?” And then I forgot about it. I didn’t know anything about Alaska sport fishing

and I didn’t feel particularly inclined to learn. But an hour or so later, I remembered the call, and eventually I did catch up with angler Les Anderson. He told me the ﬁsh weighed in at 97.4 pounds. I asked everything I could think about catching a big ﬁsh, which wasn’t much. I didn’t even run a tape, which, in radio, you always did. “So is this some kind of local record?” I asked as I prepared to end our interview. “Honey,” replied Anderson, “This is a world record.” I hung up, typed out a few lines and sent it to the AP, as we did back in the day for breaking news credits. Moment later, the wire printer sputtered to life and there was my story. In minutes the phone was going nuts

with calls from sports writers from all over the country, and they all wanted to know: Do you have any sound? I, of course, did not. But I do have my story. And Jesse has his, though not so much a fish story as one of success. When the local guides spurned his sinkers, Jesse didn’t give up. Instead, he went fishing with them. “It was beyond my wildest dreams,” he says. “They told me on an average fishing day, they’d lose 12 rigs. With mine, they only got snagged once. They glide. They actually catch more fish. I didn’t have to sell them. When I contacted shops, they said “We’ve heard about them.” Jesse’s Stoney River Sinkers are now in 20 stores and so popular he’s planning

a Kickstarter page to raise the capital to produce more (and quit his day job). “I am hoping the ‘ah-ha’ moment will spread like wildfire,” Jesse says. “At first there was so much resistance. They said, ‘Huh, a rock. It’s pretty light.’ Somewhere along the line there was a shift to ‘Yeah, it’s about time we stopped using lead.’ “I am really excited about starting the conversation. Lead is just nasty stuff.” You can check out Jesse’s webpage at: http://www.stoneyriversinkers.com. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

I’m lichen it

Of all the questions to emerge from Portland’s recent troubles with heavy metal contamination, perhaps the most pressing is “who knew you could track air pollution through lichen?” Doug Glavich knew. a lichenologist and ecologist for multiple Forest Service departments, Glavich, has been working in lichen ecology for nearly 20 years and specializes in monitoring air quality and climate trends with lichens. Glavich will be the featured speaker at the Thursday, April 7, meeting of the MidCoast Watersheds Council in Newport, sharing how he reads air quality from the trees as well as exploring how air quality and ecosystem health are linked. Having sstudied lichens under Steve Sillett at Humboldt State University, Glavich now performs work for the Siuslaw National Forest, Northwest Regional Air Resources Management Program and the Northwest Oregon Ecology Group. His presentation, which is free and open to all, will start at 6:30 pm in the public meeting room of the Central Lincoln PUD building, 2129 N Coast Hwy. in Newport, across from the Safeway complex. Refreshments will be served.

Let’s get (meta)physical! A pair of classes aimed at helping people get the most out of life will return to Newport and Lincoln City this month, due to popular demand. The “Practical Metaphysics” and “Mindful Meditation” classes will begin another six-week session in both towns on April 27 and 28, with the ﬁrst run having attracted students from their early 20s to their 80s. “I think everyone is

wonderfully surprised there is an emerging interest here on the Coast toward well-being, positivity and wholeness,” said instructor Dr. Cynthia Clayton. “People are stepping up, taking control, being at the helm of their lives.” Clayton, who recently moved to Oregon, has a 40-year background in metaphysics, is a graduate of Mindful Schools Fundamentals Course and has a personal coaching system

called Inner Energy Matrix. Her “Practical Metaphysics” course aims to show students how to mold their lives using the power of thought, take ownership of their happiness and develop a foundation for attaining and sustaining optimum emotional and mental health. The class includes techniques to manage stress and anxiety, and to help change mental habits that keep people stuck in negative thinking.

Meanwhile, “Mindfulness Meditation” shows students how to rewire their brains to find a deep inner source of peace, wellbeing and natural confidence. Clayton said the techniques allow practitioners to find clarity, stability, ease and acceptance. Tuition is $44 per class, with a 10 percent discount for those who sign up for both.

learn a little Come in and park it Anyone interested in having their say in the development of Lincoln City’s parks and recreation facilities is invited to drop in at a Wednesday, April 6, open house at the Lincoln City Community Center. The city is in the early stages of creating a new parks system plan, with the goal of meeting the recreational needs of the community as it continues to grow and change over the next 20 years. Everyone is encouraged to drop in at any time during the

open house to learn more about the planning and tell city staﬀ and consultants what types of park and recreation facilities and activities are most important to them. The open house will run from 4 to 6:30 pm at the community center, 2150 NE Oar Place. To follow progress of the plan and participate in its preparation, add your name to a mailing list by emailing planning@lincolncity.org or ﬁnd the Lincoln City Park Plan on Facebook.

CAN SOLO?

The role of solitude will be up for discussion on Saturday, April 2, when the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum welcomes Jennifer Allen for a conversation entitled “Going Solo: The Value of Solitude in a Social World.” Allen will ask whether our understanding of what it means to be alone is evolving and how our experience of solitude, or lack thereof, aﬀects our relationships and communities. “In today’s busy world, many people struggle to ﬁnd solitude and to be comfortable with it when they do,” she said. “Why is solitude peaceful for some, and punishment for others? How does solitude help — and hinder — our creative and intellectual

endeavors?” Allen is director of programs at Oregon Humanities, where she has worked since 2004. Her graduate research focused in part on the cultural impacts of technology, which sparked an ongoing interest in the challenges of solitude in today’s busy and connected lives. Allen’s presentation will start at 1 pm at the museum, 2106 Second Street. The event, part of the Tillamook County “Year of Wellness” program, is free and open to all. For more information on the Oregon Humanities Conversation Project, call 503842-4553.

Lincoln the past to the present

Call it a sorority report The challenges facing women and girls in 2016 will be on the agenda at a Tuesday, April 5, gathering in Newport, attended by representatives of the Women’s Foundation of Oregon. Women and girls aged 12 and up are invited to participate in the interactive event, which is designed to collect local perspectives for inclusion in a report on the status of women and girls in Oregon. The report, the ﬁrst in nearly 20 years, will be released in September. The event will run from 7 to 8:30 pm at Samaritan Center for Health Education, 740 SW 9th Street, featuring a light dinner, child care and

Spanish interpretation. “Too many Oregon women and girls face obstacles to their success every single day,” said Central Oregon Coast NOW Past President Nancy Campbell Mead. “From meeting basic needs, to getting a good job with equal wages, to juggling the demands of work, child care and daily life. Being a woman or girl in Oregon can be an incredible challenge. Hearing from Oregon Coast’s women ﬁrsthand about the challenges they face is the ﬁrst step in breaking down barriers for women across the state.” For more information, email centraloregoncoastnow@ gmail.com.

Businesses that have helped define Lincoln City are being celebrated in a new exhibit running throughout summer at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. Entitled “Taking Care of Business, Early Ventures in Lincoln City,” the exhibit highlights businesses that have had an impact on the development and character of the town, which was formed when five separate communities came together in 1965. “I’ve always loved those one-of-a-kind businesses that come to define a town or city, and wanted to highlight some that have been in Lincoln City for decades,” said Executive Director Anne Hall. “I think we sometimes take for granted these long-lived businesses, not really acknowledging the part they play in making our city unique.” The museum has a permanent display on the Pixie Kitchen, one of Lincoln City’s most wellremembered restaurants, but other businesses have not been featured until now. “Businesses like the Delake Bowl were once major attractions in Lincoln City, bringing hundreds of visitors to town for bowling tournaments,” Hall said. “Today we may not see big tournaments, but aren’t we lucky to have an old-style bowling alley in town! It’s a current attraction that is still somewhat nostalgic.” Other featured businesses include the Bijou Theatre, which has been in operation since the 1930s and continues to screen old classics as well as new releases to locals and visitors alike. Also on the go since the 1930s is The Bay House in Cutler City, which recently received

The Bay House, a Lincoln City landmark since the 1930s

the prestigious Four Diamond award from AAA for excellence. The exhibit will also feature the Ester Lee, Surftides, the Dorchester House, the Eventuary and Snug Harbor, as well as the Crab Pot of Cutler City, which burned down in 2014. “It was a part of the landscape along the highway for many years,” Hall said. “We really miss it and hope it will be rebuilt soon.” “Taking Care of Business” is available to view from noon to 5 pm Wednesday through Saturday at the museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101. Admission is free thanks to a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau.

Join a school of dolphins

The Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society is offering the chance to learn about whales and dolphins through a naturalist training program this April and May. No science background is needed, just a desire to learn and devote the time to attend class, do homework and give presentations. Classes will be held on Saturdays in Newport. Tuition is $85, which covers all materials and includes a one-year student ACS membership. Students who complete the course will receive a certificate. For details, contact Joy Primrose, ACS Oregon Chapter President at marine_lover4ever@yahoo. com or 541-517-8754.

LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN In today’s economy, $7 might buy you a mid-range sandwich, or a pair of fancy coffees — or a decent sized bag of saltwater taffy. Or, if you are in Tillamook on Saturday, April 23, that same $7 could buy you a skill that will last a lifetime. Once again, the Oregon State University Extension Service is offering a range of Spring Classes for $7 a pop, covering everything from gardening topics and food preparation to invasive plant management.

Seven-dollar students can choose from “Backyard Bird Feeding,” an introduction to backyard bird feeding and bird watching; “Ponds, Plants, and Predators, Oh My!,” giving instruction on pond location, maintenance and the types of plants that attract predators; and “Instant Flowers Just Add Water!,” which covers basic planting and care of flowering plants. “Insidious Invaders (And How To Thwart Them)” will give an overview of

locally invasive plants, tips for their removal, and why it matters; while “Planting With Herbs” will show students how to build an herb planter and give a primer on which herbs to plant. In “Getting Started in Plant Latin (and Greek),” students can what Latin and Greek plant names can reveal about a plant’s characteristics. Kitchen classes include “Herb Baking and Cooking” and a chance to learn the basics of preserving and

drying vegetables and herbs in “Drying Foods.” And at noon, five local authors will be on hand for a “Meet The Authors” session, with their books available for sale. Small additional fees might apply for hands-on classes where students get to take something home. To register, go to http:// extension.oregonstate. edu/tillamook or drop by the OSU Extension Service, 2204 4th Street, Tillamook.

An enduring welcome

The Adobe Resort builds on its traditions, in Yachats By Barbara B. Covell For The TODAY

“Welcome to The Adobe.” This is the signature greeting when guests enter this classic Yachats resort and restaurant. With unparalleled panoramic oceanfront views, characteristic hospitality and customer service, The Adobe offers guests a warm, comfortable coastal experience, beloved by generations of customers since it opened in 1959. “For a lot of us, it is like seeing family again and again,” said Kathleen Wick, the resort’s sales and marketing manager. “Many of our guests come back every year, and we love the familiarity.” Kathleen is a 20-plus-year employee of The Adobe and works alongside staff with more than 30 years’ tenure. “The base and core foundation of this resort are our long-term employees,” she said. “Our owners recognize this and make The Adobe a warm place to work.” Ed and Karen Pfannmuller purchased The Adobe in the mid1970s. Since that time, they have worked to create an ambience of comfortable hospitality in this scenic resort. Located 35 minutes south of Newport, The Adobe features a sprawling front lawn of lush green acreage. The driveway leads to a private parking area and an expanse of hotel rooms that face the pristine Pacific Ocean. Whether storm watching, whale watching or enjoying the coastal trails, The Adobe Resort offers a home away from home. The Pfannmullers have invested much into updates and renovations, and will continue to do so, to maintain the classic atmosphere generations of loyal customers have come to

Executive Chef Cale Srofe

expect and love. “This is a privately owned resort, and it will stay this way,” Kathleen said. “The Pfannmullers want to preserve the unique essence of this place.” In the past two years, this commitment has translated into facility-wide new carpeting, due to be completed by late March. Guest rooms have new drapes, bedding and exterior door locks. The dining area will soon have new chairs and table linens with an updated look. One of the most popular reﬁnements is the installation of a sliding front door to the lobby area. General Manager Anthony Muirhead has been instrumental in the upgrades since joining the resort a year and half ago. The resort recently bade farewell to esteemed Executive Chef Garnett Black, whose focus was on local and seasonal ingredients. In their spirit of promoting from within, the Pfannmullers appointed Cale Srofe to ﬁll Garnett’s shoes.

Cale is no newcomer to The Adobe Restaurant kitchen, having started as a prep cook at the age of 16 and mentored under Executive Chef Gerry Glass, who was with The Adobe for many years. Cale gradually worked his way up the line under the tutelage of his father, the breakfast sous chef. Now, many years later, Cale leads the kitchen team, determined to continue the food and service traditions that have made The Adobe Restaurant a favorite among locals for birthday, anniversary and holiday celebrations, as well as a quiet, romantic spot to relax and enjoy the vast oceanfront setting. Attire is jeanfriendly or opt to dress up for that special occasion. Cale is gearing up for the busy summer season and will be introducing trending food choices along with the restaurant’s popular menu selections. He plans to oﬀer more fresh vegetables and local

seasonal seafood selections, with herbs grown onsite in the kitchen’s Urban Cultivator. “We want to make every meal a consistent, healthy and flavorful experience,” he said. “Each dish served at The Adobe Restaurant will shine.” Cale says to look for possible menu changes in the future. “We will be looking at new options without changing the coastal classics,” he said. “It is all a part of being able to offer our guests quality and a memorable dining experience”. The Adobe recently revamped its wine list by importing California and Pacific Northwest varietals and topshelf liquors for specialty cocktails. The popular sports lounge features multiple flat-screen TVs, in addition to the signature cathedral woodbeamed ceilings and sensational oceanfront views. It is popular among locals who regularly gather to support their favorite teams in any season. The sports lounge has its own food service menu from 3 pm until closing, or guests can order from the restaurant’s lunch and dinner menus. Watercolor paintings by local artists line the lobby walls and the hallway to the restaurant. Most feature coastal scenery and set a colorful example of the diversity found in Oregon’s rugged coastline. The Adobe gift shop is another popular spot for guests, as it features unique glass art, jewelry, clothing and beach decor. For those seeking a little fitness, a pool, spa, sauna

and children’s pool oﬀer either a quiet soak or family-friendly fun. The historic 804 beach trail is steps away, and the resort’s oceanfront lawn is a favorite spot for spotting whales or dog walking. There are pet-friendly rooms for guests who travel with their furry companions. The Adobe Resort and Restaurant is located on Highway 101 in Yachats.

THE LAST LAUGH

lively

Admit yourself Comics pay tribute to fan-favorite Dave Anderson to Corks & Cuisine

Amid the laughs that come with every Comedy on the Coast gig, this weekend’s performances will contain a tribute to longtime fan-favorite Dave Anderson, who died from pancreatic cancer in February. Anderson’s years as co-host of Portland Radio’s Mark and Dave Show and Co-Host of KATU’s AM Northwest, made him a beloved voice to many throughout the Paciﬁc Northwest. Comedy on the Coast co-creator Kenny Bob Davis has reached out to some of Anderson’s closest comedic friends and COTC favorites to put together a funny and memorable show that will see Davis joined by fellow headliners Art Krug, J.P. Linde and Susan Rice. The quartet will be joined on Friday, April 1 by Mark Mason, Anderson’s longtime friend and co-host of the Mark and Dave Show. And on Saturday, April 2. Helen Raptis, Anderson’s co-host from AM Northwest will take to the stage. Davis began as a 1960s guitar playing folk-singer and surfer, and went on to headline all over the US as a solo stand-up comedian and one-man corporate showman. A US Marine veteran, he is regularly invited to perform at USO shows both abroad and on aircraft carriers at sea. His career includes ﬁlm and TV productions such as “Gremlins,” “ER,” “Zach & Cody,” “Sisters” and “Murder She Wrote.” Art Krug has traveled across the US and Canada for 22 years, performing at such prestigious venues as The Improv in LA and The Riviera in Las Vegas. He has opened for Dana Carvey, Drew Carey and America. His unique style has been seen nationally on Showtime’s Comedy Club Network and in many television commercials. J.P. Linde has been a part of the Portland Comedy Scene for more than 30 years, founding the sketch comedy group No Prisoners in 1977 and performing the one-man comedy show “Casually Insane” in 1981. He went on to perform in clubs and colleges

Kenny Bob Davis

Art Krug

Dave Anderson Susan Rice

throughout the United States and Canada. He is co-writer of the comedy musical “Wild Space A Go Go,” as well as his ﬁrst feature motion picture, “Axe to Grind,” which he also produced. Joining the three men on stage will be Susan Rice, who has been a standup performer since quitting her banking job in 1986 and puts part of her success down to her disarming appearance. “I look like everybody’s grandma,” she said. “I think the greatest joy I get is

when I step oﬀ the stage and they want to give me a hug.” Rice said her material is relatively clean but that she will not hesitate to drop the F-bomb if needed. “There’s a big diﬀerence between dirty comedy and dirty language,” she said. “I’m not a dirty comic. I believe in language. I’m not afraid of it. If the joke requires the word I’ll use the word.” Doors to the 21-and-over show will open at 7 pm each night, with comedy

beginning at 8 pm at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, 1777 NW 44th Street. Tickets are $15, with proceeds going to the Anderson Donation Fund to help the family recover from the expenses of Dave Anderson’s long ﬁght with cancer. For tickets or more information, call the Chinook Winds box oﬃce at 1-888-MAIN-ACT (624-6228) or go to www.chinookwindscasino.com.

Time is running out to reserve seats for Corks & Cuisine, the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation fundraiser set to take place on Saturday, April 9, at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort. Reservations are requested by Friday, April 1, for the fine food and wine event event, which will help raise money to buy a state-of-the-art cardiovascular diagnostic ultrasound machine for Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. The evening features a semi-seated dinner of New York roasted beef, stuffed roasted pork loin and an array of seafood designed and prepared by Salishan chefs, with Oregon wines poured by Elk Cove Vineyards, J. Scott Cellars, R. Stuart & Co., and Yamhill Valley Vineyards. “This semi-formal dinner is a great opportunity for friends to gather in an elegant atmosphere to enjoy fine food and wine while supporting a great cause,” said Cindi Fostveit, executive director of the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation. “The entire community benefits when funds are raised to purchase equipment for our local hospital.” There will be a live auction of wine magnums and a themed basket silent auction featuring a wide variety of must-have items for every member of the household. In addition, featured varietals will be available for purchase by the bottle or the case, with a percentage of sales benefiting the foundation. And one lucky raffle ticket holder will win an “instant wine cellar” — 120 bottles of wines to suit most any taste. The event will begin at 6 pm in The Long House at Salishan, six miles south of Lincoln City. Tickets, $125 per person, are available at samhealth.org/Corks or by calling 541-996-7102.

Stop traffic — in Newport

There is but one day a year that running full tilt down the middle of Newport’s Highway 101 is a) safe, b) legal and c) positively encouraged. Registration is now open for the Loyalty Days Run, which will see people of all ages run, jog or walk down a two-mile, traﬃc-free stretch of the highway from Wal-Mart to just before Bay Street. The run starts at 11:45 am on Saturday, April 30, just before the Loyalty Days Parade, meaning runners will be cheered on by hundreds of spectators as they go. Everyone who participates

in the run gets a ribbon and — new this year — any parent and child that run together will receive special silver shoe charms. There will also be prizes for the overall winners as well as ribbons for winners of each age group. Once again this year there is a special $500 award for the Lincoln County school that has the greatest percentage of its students participate. Advance registration is $10 or just $3 for Lincoln County School District students. Runners who register before April 24 can also buy a race t-shirt for $8. To sign up for the race, go

to www.GetMeRegistered. com or visit the Coast Hills Running Club Facebook page. Runners can also register between 9 and 11:15 am on the day of the race at Integrated Body Fitness, located at 1111 S. Coast Hwy., where race packets will also be available to pick up. Race day registration is $20 or $10 for students. Buses will transport runners and walkers from Integrated Body Fitness to the starting line, with the last bus leaving at 11:15 am. For more information, contact Kerri Tyler at 503360-5684 or arf@peak.org.

Three Loops: Take Two It probably comes as no surprise that the Yachatsbased Coastal Gems walking group are not the type of folks who quit easy. Having been blown away during their March attempt at the Three Loops walk in Depoe Bay, the group will have another crack at it on Tuesday, April 5. The 10k route is rated 2B

because of uneven footing on the forest path and a couple of minor hills, which also make it diﬃcult for strollers and wheelchairs. Walkers can mix and match the three loops to create a shorter walk. Pets are welcome as long as owners bring water, cleanup materials and a sturdy, 6-foot leash. Walkers can meet at 9 am

at the Yachats Commons to carpool, and can also register at the Sea Hag in Depoe Bay at 10:15 am. For more information, call Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541-961-4279, Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721 or go to www.yachatscoastalgems. org.

Madama Butterfly

Shall oui dance? A SERIOUS CASE OF THE

BUTTERFLIES

Anthony Minghella’s breathtaking production of “Madama Butterfly” will flutter gracefully into Newport on Saturday, April 2 — the latest offering from the Met Opera Live in HD series. The production, which has thrilled audiences ever since its premiere in 2006, stars soprano Kristine Opolais in the title role and Roberto Alagna as Pinkerton, the naval officer who breaks Butterfly’s heart. Karel Mark

Chichon conducts. The screening, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will start at 10 am at the Newport Performing Arts Center at 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $21 general, $18 for seniors and $10 for students, are available at the box oﬃce, by calling 541-265-2787 or online at coastarts.org. Kristine Opolais, and Roberto Alagna star in “Madama Butterﬂy”

The Lincoln City Cultural Center will reverberate with the sultry, charismatic sound of the French chanson tradition on Saturday, April 2, when Siri Vik performs “La Vie En Rouge,” her popular tribute to Edith Piaf. Vik, a vocals professor and performer based in Eugene, created the cabaret concert as a tribute to the work of Piaf, whose voice is perhaps the single most vivid impression the world holds of France and its music — especially her exquisitely sad classic, “La Vie en Rose.” Vik brings this tradition to life on stage, accompanied by a quintet playing piano, accordion, melodica, guitar, bass and percussion. “Edith Piaf was, with her voice, expression and passion, the embodiment of a great fulcrum point in the grand and tender, ancient tradition of French popular song: the chanson,” Vik said. “At the midway point of the

20th Century, she was the culmination of generations of wild, sometimes tortured and supremely artistic cabaret singers — women and men who dared to bring the grit and sensuality and sheer emotion of real life to the stage.” Having won Grand Prize at the International Lotte Lenya Competition in her previous career as an opera singer, Vik has long held a love and a knack for the theatrical, the gritty and the heartbreaking. Like Piaf ’s classic chanson “La Vie en Rose,” Vik’s cabaret “La Vie en Rouge,” celebrates all that is bold and raw, grand and nostalgic, tender and beautiful in the music and memory of Piaf and her fellow French chansonniers. “Piaf was warrior and a tramp,” Vik said, “She lived large — dangerously and fearlessly, spiritually; on the edge of all the blessings and tragedies one life could hope to hold. We celebrate this

life and this voice — a voice which spoke for so many.” Doors for Saturday’s concert will open at 6:30 pm, with music beginning at 7 pm, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $30, are available at the cultural center box oﬃce, online at lincolncityculturalcenter.org or by calling 541-994-9994. A selection of Northwest beers and wines, My Petite Sweet cookies and bars, and Mountain Man savory snacks will be sold before the show, and during intermission.

Re-member to donate Saturday’s “La Vie En Rouge” concert will be the ﬁnale of the cultural center’s annual Membership Drive, which aims to log 100 renewals and new members to support the center and its programs. Cultural center membership is awarded to anyone who donates $35 or more within a

calendar year. All donors who have given in the past ﬁve months will receive a $10 discount on tickets to “La Vie En Rouge” and a $2 discount on all cultural center concert tickets throughout the year. “Big donations are always welcome, but during Membership Month we concentrate on increasing the number of donors in our supporter base,” said Executive Director Niki Price, “The more members we have, the greater our communitywide support. We use these unrestricted monies to pay our everyday expenses, like copier paper and vacuum cleaner bags. And we need strong membership numbers as proof of our local support, when we write larger grants or request bigger gifts. It all starts with membership, and I encourage all those who love the center to consider giving this month — and to join us for ‘La Vie En Rouge.’”

NET GAIN EXOTIC JELLYFISH LEAD TO JAM SUCCESS IN LINCOLN CITY

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander For the TODAY

For Lincoln City entrepreneur Judy Cashner, most days begin the same way. After picking her way carefully down toward the shore in the dim, predawn light, Cashner spends a few minutes studying the surf, readies her homemade net and goes to work. “Dawn’s probably the best time to get them,” Cashner said. “Although there’s often a goodsized flurry around midday, when the sun’s right overhead.” Cashner’s prey? Cnidaria Scyphoolozoa Aurelia or, to give them their common name, jellyfish. But there is nothing at all common about the slippery creatures that get this retired secretary and part time proofreader out of bed before first light each morning. That’s because the strain of jellyfish that find their way to Cashner’s net spend their first few weeks of life feasting on the famous coastal raspberry farms of southern Chile. An all-you-caneat diet of plump, ripe raspberries

Cashner surveys the surf for signs of her fruity prey

gives the creatures a rich, red hue and leaves them positively bursting with flavor — a fact Cashner found out the hard way. “I was just walking along in the surf one day, minding my own business when — bam!” she said. “I felt a sharp pain in my left foot and I knew right away that I’d been stung.” Cashner’s husband, Ron, sprang into action — hauling her away from the surf and quickly sucking out the jellyfish stingers (a oncepopular technique that experts now advise against). “I could hear him down there grunting,” Cashner said. “And then, all of a sudden I heard him say ‘Oooh! Raspberries!’” In the days following the incident, Ron just couldn’t stop talking about the amazing flavor the pair had chanced upon. “It was a combination of intense, sweet fruit with a hint of salt from the seawater,” Ron said. “Kind of like one of those fancy sea salt caramels — but in fruit form.” Ron’s musings on the flavor became so incessant that Cashner

decided her only chance at a quiet life was to somehow capture the elusive taste in a bottle — or a jar. As it turned out, the jellyfish were surprisingly easy to catch. Hungry after their epic journey from Chile, the creatures swarmed on any kind of bait that Cashner threw into the water, especially anything that resembled the pale green leaves of their favorite raspberry bush. Things did not go as easily once Cashner got her catch into the kitchen, however. “My first thought was to just chop them up and sprinkle them on a salad,” she said. “But not only were they more rubbery than chewing gum; they were also still packed with venom, which made for a very unsettled evening, I can tell you.” After the pair had recovered, Cashner changed tack and dug out the old family cookbook, making a beeline for the jams section. One boiling session later, she served up the first helping of what has since become her bestseller “Judy’s Jellyfish Jolt.”

26 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • april 1, 2016

Voilá! The finished product.

“It’s totally safe and absolutely delicious,” she said. “Not only do you get the raspberry flavor and a hint of salt, but the mixture retains just enough of the jellyfish venom to give it that extra little tingle on the way down.” Cashner is now a regular fixture at the Lincoln City Farmers Market, which sets up every Sunday on the front lawn of the Lincoln City Cultural Center. She is also raking it in with online sales, fulfilling orders from all corners of the globe. “People are ordering it by the crate,” Cashner said. “I’ve already had to invest in a larger net and if

this keeps up, I’ll have to expand my kitchen, too.” Aside from ‘how can I order more?’ the one thing most customers want to know is why no one had ever encountered these delicious jellyfish before Cashner kicked off her shoes for that fateful stroll in the surf. The answer most likely has its roots in climate change, according to Dr. Alphono Mentiroso, senior research fellow at the April F. Yule Institute for Marine Migration in Santiago, Chile. “The very fact that these jellyfish have been able to get access to the Chilean raspberry fields is evidence of rising ocean levels,” Mentiroso said. “When you combine that with changes in ocean temperature, as shown by the recent warm water blob in the Pacific, it is no surprise that these creatures are now making their way to the Oregon Coast. It’s probably only a matter of time until we see something similar happening with the blueberry fields of Alaska.” Until then, jam lovers will have to be content with Cashner’s ever-increasing range of flavors, which she achieves by using a variety of herbs as bait. “Basil is a real winner,” she said. “It adds a nice lemony, liquorice note while thyme makes for a more earthy flavor.” But recent developments in Salem have opened up a whole new market for the industrious Cashner — a range of potinfused jams sold under the title “Judy’s Jellyfish Ju-Ju.” “We’ve been testing buds from throughout the Pacific Northwest and, of course, we are looking into some Chilean strains as well for that cultural continuity,” she said. “Our aim is to have a delicious product that gives you the munchies and takes care of them at the exact same time.” Cashner will be unveiling her new pot-infused jams on the front lawn of the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 11 am on Friday, April 1.
