This week’s top five

LINCOLN CITY — All those golf fans who have been practicing with their favorite putter for months in preparation for this year’s Community Putt Putt are in for a great surprise — this year’s contest is nixing golf clubs altogether. Instead, players will be asked to make their shots using pretty much anything else: a piece of driftwood, a pool cue or even a mannequin’s arm. So come on out, bring your A-game but leave the caddy at home.

NEWPORT — Presidential speculation makes the modern media world go ’round; but forget about who Patrick Alexander might or might not throw their hats in the ring for 2016 Editor & Publisher — Newport author Bill Hall hasn’t ﬁnished with 1974 yet. Join Hall as he discusses his debut novel, “McCallandia,” which imagines a world where Oregon Governor Tom McCall succeeds disgraced President Richard Nixon, bringing a fresh approach to Oval Oﬃce.

LOGSDEN — Tucked away to the east of Newport, this little town doesn’t make the top five list very often. But then again it’s not every day that the community center invites chicken experts Ram Papish and Dawn Harris to pass on their poultry know-how. As the proud owner of four hens, I urge all our readers to start a flock and reap the benefits that only a backyard breakfast can bring.

Much ado about a shrew

Cancer survivors: get

SurvivorFit!

One of Shakespeare’s wildest and most madcap comedies will gallop on to the stage in Newport this weekend as the Red Octopus Theatre Company concludes its month-long run of “The Taming of the Shrew.” The hilarious tale of love, money and misdirection has received something of a facelift courtesy of director Darcy Hogan, whose adaptation feeds on her memories of first reading the play in the 1980s. “If you were to read the play to a wildly imaginative 12 year old in 1987 … that, in a nutshell, is our production,” she said. “It’s all the vibrant, colorful stuff a child would imagine — with a bit of an eighties influence.” Despite the appearance of the occasional Princess Leia hairstyle, the play remains set during the Italian Renaissance in the city of Padua, home to the wealthy Baptista Minola and his daughter Bianca — the most eligible bachelorette in town. But there’s a problem. Baptista won’t let anyone marry Bianca until her sharp-tongued older sister, Kate, is married off. So, two of Bianca’s suitors hatch a plan to persuade a friend to woo and wed the wild Kate, setting in motion a battle of wits

Regain your strength after cancer treatment through SurvivorFit, a free ﬁtness program for cancer survivors. Enjoy a free three-month membership to the Lincoln City Community Recreation Center or the Newport Recreation Center.

— and the sexes. Hogan has used Shakespeare’s original text, trimmed slightly, with a few additions here and there. “It’s not an update, not a relocation, and it’s not set in the eighties,” she said. “We’ve simply breathed new life into what was already one of the Bard’s funniest and most accessible comedies.” And Shakespeare fans should keep their ears open for shoutouts to no less than seven of the master playwright’s other works, which Hogan has weaved into the script. Can you spot them all?

The cast includes Melissa MacDonald as Kate, Kyle Cooper as Petruchio, Josh Lawrence as Lucentio, Miranda Richman as Bianca, CJ McCarty as Baptista and Pete Theodore as Hortensio. “The Taming of the Shrew” runs through April 26 at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W.

An ocean audition The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is holding auditions for “Dames at Sea,” a tap-happy, Navy-crazy celebration of 1930s movie musicals, with a heart as big as the ocean. Written by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller with music by Jim Wise, the musical comedy follows an understudy who must step in to ﬁll the shoes of an incapacitated lead and become the star of the show. Auditions will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, at Tillamook Methodist Church, 3808 12th Street in Tillamook. Director Joni Sauer-Folger is looking for three women aged mid-20s to mid-50s; four

Pieces may be sung a capella, with a backing track, or by bringing sheet music for the accompanist. Backstage positions are also available.

ARTISTIC MYSTERIES

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

ot too long ago, Sonny and I were cruising one of our favorite beach trails when I saw something in the distance that looked like a decapitated head on a spike. Curious, I hurried over to inspect and beheld a mannequin’s head made of Styrofoam pounded through an iron bolt attached to a crumbling trestle of the South Jetty of the Columbia River. The mannequin even had a mullet! It was easily one of the weirder and more amusing sights I’ve ever witnessed on one of my beach walks. I can only surmise that someone found the head as detritus nearby and then mounted it via a spontaneous and dangerous act of climbing atop the massive boulders of the jetty to reach the trestle. There is no way I would have done it. Thank you artist, whoever you are, for your danger. I was utterly fascinated by your eﬀort. You gave me a scare, then a laugh, and I felt better the rest of the day because of your foolhardy creation. Two days later, the head was gone. A kelp fountain. A massive sculpture installation by the Sea God. Fifty cairns left on quarter-mile stretch of ugly riprap. Tributes and memorials in the sand. Driftwood forts of ingenious design. Strange feather and stick mazes. Limpets and hairy tritons decorating burned driftlogs. Such are some of the mysterious artistic creations I’ve encountered in my 18 years of inveterate beachcombing on the Oregon Coast. There were others, too many to list here, but the aforementioned ones stand out. I remember their every detail. Sometimes they made me smile; sometimes they blew my mind. I never once didn’t come over to marvel at them. They deserved attention and interaction. I can almost guarantee adults made most of these creations, perhaps with the help of children, but in a minority of cases I would guess. It was child’s play for adults. You could sense it in the work. Walking into artistic mysteries on the beach is one of the most exhilarating experiences imaginable, because it means someone is creating them without ever knowing or apparently caring who will see them. This, to me, deﬁnes pure art: the artist gives it away because the artist felt compelled to do so. I

give away my books to cafes, bars and complete strangers all the time and derive a monumental happiness from the practice. All these beach creations are beautiful, enchanting, corporeal and evanescent. They will all most likely vanish with the next high tide or super storm that blows through. So be it. Embrace that quality. It heightens the sheer pleasure of the viewing and contemplation. I like seeing impermanence in action at the ocean’s edge. For some reason, it makes me want to do better, more important, lasting work with people, animals and watersheds. Does that make any sense? See what encountering mysterious art on the beach does to me? Thank you anonymous artists. You made me reflect and reconsider, and this being Oregon, entrance to the gallery didn’t cost me a cent. It didn’t cost you a cent, either. The materials were free, too — and you didn’t have to write a damn grant to fund your vision! Sometimes, through the good graces of this column, I learn the identity of the creators and the inspiration for their efforts. Invariably, these real stories possess exponentially more magic than anything I could have ever invented as a writer of fiction. Beach artists, I am one of you now — and an indefatigable one at that. I wasn’t my first couple of years on the Oregon Coast. Your art turned me into an artist. Today, I write messages in the sand and build driftwood forts all the time. I leave messages inside forts! Why not? Why not transmit mystery into the world. Why not be mysterious? Why not delight strangers? Why be boring? Boring is boring. I’ll keep making mysterious and anonymous art on the beach for the rest of my life. I honestly believe it is a formidable method to heal the malaise and madness of our world. Action on the behalf of art is consolatory — and revelatory. Let me issue readers a challenge: go to the beach right now and leave behind an artistic mystery. Bring a friend, a team, or go solo. Use only what you find at the beach. Take all day or five minutes. Tell the world via social media or do it in complete silence. Someone you don’t even know is going to prosper by your effort.

McCall of duty Worth turning up for

With speculation about potential presidents reaching fever pitch a mere 19 months before voters go to the polls at the 2016 election, the time is ripe for a piece of political speculation from a bygone age. On Sunday, April 26, Oregon Coast author Bill Hall will give a talk on his debut novel “McCallandia,” an alternate history in which Oregon Governor Tom McCall becomes Richard Nixon’s successor as President of the United States. The book imagines how history would have changed if McCall had brought his candor and environmental ethic to Washington. In addition to the very memorable McCall, “McCallandia” features a cast of outsized supporting personalities including Hunter S. Thompson, John Lennon, Ken Kesey, Steve

Prefontaine and many others. Hall, a native Oregonian, was a volunteer in McCall’s 1978 comeback campaign and met the former governor several times. Now a Lincoln County Commissioner, Hall spent many years in journalism before making the transition to elected oﬃce. Sunday’s presentation will run from 5 to 7 pm at the Paciﬁc Maritime & Heritage Center in Newport, 333 SE Bay Blvd. In addition to discussing his work, Hall will also sign copies of the book. Admission to this event is free for members of the Lincoln County Historical Society and $5 for nonmembers. Refreshments will be served. The book is available for purchase at both Lincoln County Historical Society Museums. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library will mark National Poetry Month by welcoming poet Wendy Chin-Tanner for a workshop followed by a discussion of her writing on Saturday, April 25. Chin-Tanner’s most recent collection of poetry, “Turn,” is a finalist for the 2015 Oregon Book Award for Poetry. The poems in the collection tackle themes including race, gender, abuse, love, sex, motherhood, and death, asking fundamental questions, such as “How do we forgive?” “How do we evolve?” and “What makes us human?” Based in Portland, Chin-Tanner is a founding editor at Kin Poetry Journal, poetry editor at The Nervous Breakdown, staff interviewer at Lantern Review, cofounder of A Wave Blue World and an online sociology instructor at England’s Cambridge University. Her poems, essays and interviews have appeared in numerous journals including The Mays Anthology of Oxford and Cambridge, The Saint Ann’s Review and The Raintown Review. Her visit to Driftwood Public Library will begin at 10 am with a poetry-writing workshop in the Fischer Room. The workshop is free, but pre-registration is required. At 3 pm, the public is invited to join Chin-Tanner in the Distad Reading Room for a reading and discussion of her work. The library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information or to register for the workshop, contact Library Director Kirsten BrodbeckKenney at 541-996-1251 or at kbrodbeckkenney@lincolncity.org.

Get on board

The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is seeking artwork that shows the allure and creativity of surfing and skateboarding for a new exhibit that will go on display this summer in Newport. “Surf & Turf: The Art of Boarding,” will run from June 5 to July 31 at the Newport Visual Arts Center, scheduled to coincide with International Surfing Day and Go Skateboarding Day. Surf and skate artists are encouraged to submit their works to be considered for inclusion in the juried exhibition. While judges will consider works in all media — whether two-dimensional, threedimensional, film or video — priority will be given to independent, original and contemporary design and art on boards themselves. The exhibit is open to artists of all ages and styles, with those from Lincoln County especially encouraged to participate. To submit work for consideration, email PDF or jpeg images to Visual Arts Center Manager Tom Webb at twebb@coastarts.org, including “Surf & Turf ” in the subject line. For boards, include images of both sides. Links to websites and file-sharing programs are acceptable. Entrants should also send a single Word document, including information on titles, dates created, artist names, materials used and pricing, along with a biography and artist statement if available and a note on artwork availability, delivery and pick up. The submission deadline is

Ceramics and china painting will be on oﬀer at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery on Saturday, April 25, when it opens a new Spotlight Show featuring work from Waldport artist Sally Morris. Morris moved to Waldport from San Diego 11 years ago and before that lived in Washington State. She has been doing ceramics for the past four years through classes at YAA. She enjoys traveling, and a trip to Israel last January

provided the inspiration for several recent paintings as well as her new ceramic pieces. Morris also recently started the YAA’s china-painting class, which runs from 2 to 3:30 pm on Tuesdays in the upstairs classroom of the Newport Visual Arts Center. Her Spotlight Show will remain on display through Saturday, May 8, available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive.

My word! your image... Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center for the Arts is now accepting submissions for “Word and Image,” an innovative summer exhibit that will pair artists and writers to create original work. The project will offer up to 15 selected artists and writers a unique creative experience, one that coorganizers Deborah DeWit and Emily Ransdell call “silent collaboration.” “Writers have been writing in response to art for centuries,” Ransdell

Pizza Kitchen

said. “We thought it would be interesting to create a modern take on the tradition by letting artists have their turn as well.” Ransdell said that the project is a spin-off of the Hoffman Center’s weekly Writing Lounge, where local writers create short pieces in response to various prompts, often resulting in works that surprise the authors themselves. “Word and Image” is open to all artists and writers who live on the

North Oregon Coast or have a strong connection to the area. Interested writers and artists should submit three samples of their work via e-mail to hoffmanwordandimage@ gmail.com no later than May 11. Selected artists and writers will be notified by June 1 and paired off at a kick-off gathering on June 13. New work for the “Word and Image” exhibit will be due from each artist and writer by July 20, with an opening reception and reading to be held at the Hoffman Center on August 28. For instructions on how to submit work, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org or email hoffmanwordandimage@ gmail.com.

A tragic double bill will grace the big screen in Newport on Saturday, April 25, as the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts hosts a live screening of two dramatic tales set a lifetime apart but united by a common theme of loss. “Cavalleria Rusticana” by Pietro Mascagni and “Pagliacci” by Ruggero Leoncavallo will be screened as part of the Met Live in HD series, which beams performances from New York’s Metropolitan Opera House to venues across the nation. In this evocative new production, director Sir David McVicar sets the action across two time periods but in the same Sicilian village. Marcelo Álvarez rises to the challenge of playing the dual tenor roles of Turiddu in “Cavalleria Rusticana” and Canio in “Pagliacci.” Rae Smith of “War Horse” fame has designed the moodily atmospheric 1900 village square setting of “Cavalleria,” which transforms to a 1948 truck stop for the doomed vaudeville troupe of “Pagliacci.” Eva-Maria Westbroek and Patricia Racette sing the unlucky heroines, and Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium. The screening will run from 9:30 am to 1 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street.

in concert

A real grass act As refreshing as an ice tea and with the kick of a gin and tonic, Emily Asher’s Garden Party will bring their jazz sound to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Tuesday, April 28. A versatile musical ensemble led by Asher’s tenacious trombone and sweet vocals, this band of all-stars from New York City’s vibrant early jazz scene performs coast to

coast in the finest jazz clubs to the busiest swing dance halls. The group draws on influences from Louis Armstrong’s enchanting Hot Fives and Duke Ellington’s sophisticated melodies to the funky and soulful music of New Orleans brass bands and Hoagy Carmichael’s masterpieces. Trombonist and vocalist Emily Asher is a rising musical personality in New

York City and is in strong demand as a bandleader and sidewoman. She recorded and performed with Wycliffe Gordon on his “Hello Pops!” tribute to Louis Armstrong and was a member of Nicholas Payton’s Television Studio Orchestra. She released her debut album, “Dreams May Take You” featuring Wycliffe Gordon, Philip Dizack, Bria Skonberg and seven other outstanding musicians in 2012. The following year, Garden Party released their six-song EP “Carnival of Joy!” a celebration of Hoagy Carmichael. The Tuesday, April 28, show will begin at 7 pm at the auditorium of the center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $13, are available at the box office, online at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org or by calling 541-994-9994.

Just duet

For a small town, Depoe Bay draws more than its fair share of world-class musicians, thanks to the presence of the Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society. It should be noted, though, that even this high-powered group cannot rustle up a pianist with four hands. But, on Saturday, May 2, they will present the next-best thing. That’s when Jay and Sandy Mauchley will present “An Afternoon of Colorful and Exciting Piano Duets,” a delightfully varied program that includes Mozart’s “Sonata in F Major,” “The Bohemian Forest” by Antonin Dvorak and “Overture from William Tell” by Gioachino Rossini. The duo will choreograph these works to stay out of each other’s way as they play

together on one concert-level baby grand piano. Renowned as a brilliant duo-piano team, the Mauchley Duo has dazzled audiences of all ages in numerous recitals and concerto appearances throughout the United States. They enthrall music lovers with their musical interpretations of a repertoire that spans three centuries. Listeners ﬁnd their programs electrifying, enthralling and passionate as the Mauchleys display facile technique, stylistic interpretations and outstanding virtuosity. The couple, both professors emeriti at the University of Idaho, have collaborated together for more than 30 years, both in the United States and abroad. In April of 2013, they performed at

A hole lot of talent

Lincoln Center in New York City. Popular clinicians, adjudicators and master teachers, the Mauchleys have both been awarded Master Teacher certiﬁcates by Music Teachers National Association as well as Alumni Awards for Faculty Excellence from the University of Idaho. Both

are also on the International roster of Steinway Artists. The May 2 concert will run from 2 at 4 pm in the oceanview home of Dick and Laurel Young in Depoe Bay’s Whale Cove. Tickets are $25 per person. To make reservations and receive directions, call 541765-2474 or 541-765-7770.

Brazil, lives and teaches in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gilbert, a native of Israel, teaches at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California.

Start mountain up URGENT CARE for the big race The 4th Annual Coast Hills Classic Mountain Bike Race will return to Newport on Sunday, May 3, putting competitors from throughout the Western states through a grueling, 24-mile trek of straight up, straight down and slippery turns. Mike Cavanaugh, sports coordinator for Newport Parks and Recreation, said the race’s inclusion in the Oregon Oﬀ-Road Series and the OBRA Junior MTB Series will see competitors traveling from all over Oregon as well as California, Washington and Idaho. “Our race is sure to grow this year in participants!” he

said. “This increase will make the event even more exciting for the racers and spectators.” The excitement begins at 9:30 am with the big line-up of competitors at the Oregon Coast Community College campus in Newport. While experts and pros will do a double run to make up their 24 miles, most of the adult racers will do one circuit of the 12-mile loop, which puts riders through 1,600 feet of elevation gain on tracks that vary from muddy to gravel. Pre-registration is $35 until April 28, when it increases to $45. Race-day registration is $50.

Meanwhile, young kids can practice their skills in a free race held on a ﬂat dirt area. For kids aged 8 to 12, there is also a timed “Grommet Race” on a modiﬁed, 5-mile section of race course. Entry to the “Grommet Race” costs $20 and prizes will be awarded. Proceeds from the event go towards the youth scholarship fund at Newport’s recreation center. To register, go to www. CoastHillsClassic.com. For more information, call Newport Parks and Recreation at 541-265-7783 or Bike Newport at 541-2659917.

ROOT LEARNING Spruce up your conifer knowledge as Arbor Day approaches Story & photos by Rebecca Stone For the TODAY

Once the mud starts dry, my sister and I hit the trails that entwine the Central Oregon Coast. As we walk, we always seem to fall into a game of “Name that Tree.” It’s an exercise in plant identification at which I do not excel, especially in the case of the conifers. There are just so many of them, with similar characteristics — big, green, needles, cones. It can be, well, hard to see the trees for the forest. So, in honor of this year’s Arbor Day, April 24, I decided to seek help for my embarrassing lack of tree savvy, at the Tillamook Forest Center located 22 miles east of Tillamook in the heart of the Tillamook State Forest. The only one of its kind in the region, the center offers free forest-related educational opportunities. Lead Educator Denise Berkshire said that the center’s programs are designed to foster a deep connection between the public and its forests. “Forests in Oregon are the fabric of our society,” she said. “They are a big part of our culture, economy and social life.” Berkshire said that though many species abound, common native conifers in the Coast Range include Douglas fir (Oregon’s state tree), Western hemlock and Western redcedar. As you descend toward the ocean’s fog belt, however, the more shore pines begin to appear, though it is the Sitka spruce that rules the coastline.

Tillamook Forest Center trail guide Shawn Bray gives tree identification tips

Student intern Shawn Bray, who leads tree identification walks, says that needles can be a tip-off in telling one conifer from another. For starters, he notes that Douglas fir needles are soft, flexible and rounded at the tip, whereas Sitka needles, which grow on stem pegs, are stiff and extremely sharp. “Just think,” he said, “friendly fir, spiny spruce.” Western hemlock needles are delicately small, blunt-tipped and are irregular in length. But the real western hemlock signature is its leader (or top), which droops, unlike those of its counterparts, which stand up straight. Western redcedar, a distinctive type of conifer, has no needles. Instead, it features flattened, scale-like leaves with tiny, butterfly-like patterns woven onto their undersides. On the other hand, shore pines

are the only Oregon native pines with two-needle bundles. They are one to three inches long and often twisted. Bark also provides clues. Most notably, a Douglas fir’s is brown, coarse and deeply furrowed, whereas a western hemlock’s is gray and lightly furrowed. In contrast, Sitka Spruce’s gray bark reveals purplish shades beneath its scaly texture, while a Western redcedar features aromatic, reddish-brown, strip-like bark. A shore pine’s is dark gray and scaly, on a trunk that is often twisted. Cones are perhaps the best identifiers. Unlike the upright cones of true firs, Douglas fir cones hang downward and are uniquely layered with three-pointed, fork-like bracts. Sitka spruces produce one- to four-inch-long, cylindrical cones with papery textures. Tiny egg-shaped cones with

thin, rounded scales are found on the Western hemlock, while cones reminiscent of miniature rosebuds pertly sit on top of the Western redcedar branches. Shore pine cones are woody and prickly. All of these trees can gain significant size. The Sitka, which can reach more than 200 feet in height, is reportedly the largest spruce species in the world, and at one time the world’s largest was located near Seaside — until a storm snapped it in two. But the Douglas fir, known to surpass 300 feet, is second only to the California redwood in height. In fact, at 330 feet, a record holder for world’s tallest nonredwood conifer is the Doerner fir, located in Coos County, down the coast. Just as cruising the Hollywood Walk of Fame is more fun when you know who the stars are, basic tree identification knowhow can only enhance your woodland adventures. And just imagine the self-satisfaction you’ll gain from being able to patiently explain to your friends the difference between a Western hemlock and a Sitka spruce. What better way to celebrate our nation’s trees — and win the next round of “Name that Tree”?

Get into survival gear Can you make someone want to send you to a remote desert island by talking to them for less than one minute? If so, CBS casting producers want to see you at the “Survivor” auditions in Lincoln City. Producers are looking for mentally and physically tough competitors to try out for the show, which is one of the most-watched reality series in the country. On Sunday, May 17, KOIN 6 News will host an open casting call for the show at Chinook Winds Casino Resort from 11 am to 5 pm. Teams of two should arrive at the casino shortly before 11 am in order to receive a numbered ticket. Numbers will be randomly selected throughout the day, and will be announced over the casino’s public address system. Teams whose numbers

are called will have one hour to report to the “Survivor” check-in table, where they will receive a full-page audition pass and be directed to the casting area. Ten teams will be randomly drawn to audition, each receiving exactly one minute to perform in front of the camera and proclaim why they should be the next contestants on “Survivor.”

Videos will be compiled and sent to CBS producers, who will review them and contact teams to continue in the process. Eligibility requirements, along with a Video Release and Waiver form are available online at www. chinookwindscasino.com. In 2007, Survivor was ranked by Time Magazine as one of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time. On air since 2000, the series has won seven Emmy awards for Outstanding Reality TV Series. Longtime host and producer Jeﬀ Probst has also won ﬁve Emmys for his involvement in the series.

Visa-vis immigration… Immigration will be the subject of the latest installment in the Williams Lecture Series from Oregon Coast Community College, when author and professor Virginia Gibbs visits the Newport campus on Friday, April 24. Gibbs, an author and professor emerita of Spanish now living in Newport, will present a brief overview of current US immigration as part of a worldwide phenomenon, along with an overview of immigration history in the U.S. with particular reference to Hispanic and Latino immigration and the Western states. The talk will also include a review of current immigration laws, diﬀerent kinds of visas, Dreamers, executive orders and more. Gibbs said she will look at how current immigration policies conform to our values as a country of laws, as well as

• Organized by the Oregon Coast Community College Foundation, the Williams Lecture Series was created in 1993 by Wendy Williams in honor of her husband. William Appleman Williams taught American diplomatic history and foreign policy for more than 30 years at OSU and was known as the “Father of Revisionist History.” His last teaching assignment was at OCCC, where he taught maritime history.

how they affect families and children. “What are our values?” she asked. “And how do they conflict with our policies? Can we find a way to create an immigration system that respects our values and those of immigrant families?” Gibbs is the author of “Shattered Dreams: The Story of a Historic I.C.E. Raid in the Words of the Detainees.” Copies of the book, which chronicles the infamous raid on an agricultural processing

facility in Postville, Iowa, will be available at the presentation. Gibbs moved to the Oregon Coast two years ago and has been a volunteer with Centro de Ayuda and The Immigration Information Response Team. The talk will begin at 7 pm in the community room of the college at 400 SE College Way. For more information, go to www.oregoncoastcc.org or call 541-867-8501.

Tap into some knowledge The impact of government surveillance on citizens’ privacy will be the topic of discussion at an Oregon Humanities presentation in Tillamook on Saturday, April 25. The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will host Oregon Humanities’ Conversation Project leader Kristian Williams for a talk entitled “Keeping Tabs on America; Surveillance and You.” Williams is an independent scholar and author of “Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America” as well as a contributor to Counterpunch and In These Times. He has been studying state surveillance for 20 years. The Conversation Project aims to engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to their daily lives and the state’s future. The free presentation will start at 1 pm at the museum, 2106 2nd Street. For more information, contact Carla Albright at 503-842-4553 or go to www.tcpm. org.

Putt yourself to the test Lincoln City’s Community Putt Putt invites everyone to join the club Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Eventuary Manager Karen Richards lines up a putt

Putt Putt practitioner Paul Robertson tackles the bird’s nest course at last year’s event as Margery Price looks on

Sure, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods hit a bunch of holes in one and made some epic drives — but those guys got to practice with the same clubs for hours a day. Imagine how they would fare if they had to make the same shots using a random item chosen by the crowd — like the arm of a mannequin or a particularly knobbly tree branch. It’s a fair guess that the Masters would take lot longer — but you can bet it would also be much more fun to watch. Fun is the guiding principle behind another venerable golfing classic that returns to Lincoln City this Saturday, April 25, as part of the town’s Community Days celebration. Community Putt Putt sees businesses throughout the city invite players of all ages to test their skills against mini golf courses designed to inspire and infuriate in equal measure. While not as established a tradition as the long-running Mud Flat Golf (see page 21 opposite), Community Putt Putt has developed an enthusiastic following in the few years since it was added to the Community Days calendar. And this year, organizers are adding an extra challenge, asking each of the courses to have players take their shots with something — anything — other than a regular golf club. “One venue is using a crutch,” said Putt Putt organizer Stephanie Franklin. “Others that we’ve heard of are a piece of driftwood or a pool cue.” For Karen Richards, manager of The Eventuary events center, finding a suitable stick should be no problem. The venue’s eclectic décor is a testimony to the collecting habits of its packrat owner Kip Ward, with stuffed fish, oars and various other types of maritime memorabilia occupying just about every square inch of wall space.

Anyone who completes all 14 holes can turn in their completed cards for inclusion in a prize draw, with the winner announced on Monday, April 27. Players can also cast a vote for their favorite Putt Putt hole, with a prize on offer for the business that wows the most people. All proceeds from the event will help the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors organize the Oregon State Ambassador Convention, set to run from Sept. 17 to 20 at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. For Franklin, whose golf experience sits somewhere close to zero, the Putt Putt event is less about sinking putts and more about building community. “It just sounds like something that would be really fun for families,” she said. “It gets people into places that they’ve never been to before, meeting their neighbors.”

community days

Was that a birdie? No, I think it was a seal Mudflat golf returns to Siletz Bay for Community Days fun If the apparent requirement to dress in brightly colored plaid is the only thing that puts you off trying golf then Lincoln City’s Community Days has got the game for you. On Friday, April 24, the time-honored tradition of Mudflat Golf will make its return to Siletz Bay. Play will run from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, when low tide will have banished all that pesky water, revealing acres of flat, compact sand. There are no collared shirts required to play mudflat golf, and spikes are frowned upon. The preferred attire is rubber boots, jeans and an old sweatshirt. The squishy underfoot conditions mean that holes

are not an option — so players settle for hitting the ball into Hula Hoops scattered across the bay floor. Dave Price, president of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce and longtime mudflat golf aficionado, said the unusual course lets players get away with behavior that other clubs simply would not tolerate. “I can honestly say that, one April not too many years ago, after playing nine holes of Mudlfat Golf, I dropped to my knees and dug up 10 or 15 purple varnish clams from the last teebox,” he said. “So, while I went home with an appetite after a bracing afternoon on the breezy and cool Siletz

Bay mudflat, I also went home with dinner.” As well as being a quintessential piece of Lincoln City fun, the Mudflat Golf tournament is affordable — at just $5 for nine holes. Proceeds benefit the Taft High girls golf team, whose members also help present the event, with great help from Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, Mo’s Restaurant, the Lincoln City Rotary Club and others. The tournament is just one of the more than 20 special events that comprise Lincoln City’s Community Days. Others include the community-wide putt-putt contest and the return of the Beach Bark, a casual dog walk along the beach

ending with an affordable barbecue hamburger lunch at The Eventuary. The celebration will

conclude at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Saturday, April 25, with a banquet that honors Lincoln City’s

Richards said. “This Saturday, it’s going to be all that and a lot more.” For more information, ﬁnd The Beach Bark or The Eventuary on Facebook, or call 541-994-4166.

volunteers and unsung heroes, starting at 6 pm. See coast calendar for details, pages 14 & 15.

Unleash some community spirit Lincoln City will go well and truly to the dogs on Saturday, April 25, when the Beach Bark returns as part of the town’s Community Days celebration. Founded by Kip Ward and his wife, Kandi Hansen, the canine-centered beach walk and barbecue is a fund-raiser for the Beach Bark Fund, which provides direct cash support for any pets in need “If a dog with no obvious owner is hit by a car,” Ward said, “or if a family can’t aﬀord emergency veterinary care for their cat, the local vets know they can provide the services the animals need and draw upon the Beach Bark Fund.” “There’s no charge to walk in

the Beach Bark,” he added. “We raise funds by donations at the end of the walk and, of course, our fresh-grilled hamburger meals.” The Beach Bark will begin at 11 am sharp at the D River Wayside. Walkers will head south along the beach to the Canyon Way beach access in Nelscott, where they’ll head up the hill to Fleet Street and down to The Eventuary, Ward and Hansen’s former mortuary turned events center. There, walkers can enjoy a $6 hamburger lunch along with beer and wine available for sale. After lunch, there’s a short walk along the sidewalk on Highway 101 back to the D

River Wayside. “Often, ‘Barkers find this walk too short,” Eventuary manager Karen Richards said, “so we encourage them to head south past Nelscott on the first leg, getting as much beach time as they and their dogs need, before doubling back and then coming up the hill to join us for lunch.” The Eventuary will be providing free raffle tickets to all Beach Bark walkers for prize drawings, and extra tickets will be available for sale. There is also a putt-putt hole, part of a separate Community Days activity that day, set up in the building. “The Eventuary is always a charming, relaxing destination,”

Culture, of Course! Tickets are now on sale for the 11th Annual Birding & Blues Festival, a threeday celebration of all things feathered and funky in Paciﬁc City. Running from May 1 to 3, the festival features a packed lineup of ﬁeld trips, excursions and presentations along with live blues performances — all centered around the Kiawanda Community Center. The keynote speaker will

be Dr. Susan Haig, whose seminar,“California Condors in the Paciﬁc Northwest,” looks at the likelihood that condors once bred in the region and the probable causes of their regional extinction. Haig will also assess the factors that must be considered in determining whether the magniﬁcent birds could once again thrive in Northwest skies.

The seminar will run from 1:30 to 2:45 pm on Saturday, May 2, and pre-registration is required. To register, go to www.birdingandblues. org, drop by The Inn at Cape Kiwanda, 33105 Cape Kiwanda Drive, or call 503965-6247. For a full line up of festival activities, go to www. birdingandblues.org or pick up next week’s edition of Oregon Coast TODAY.

A passion for dashin’ The Devil’s Lake Dash will return to Lincoln City this weekend, oﬀering two days of high-octane racing, hairpin turns and gravity defying acrobatics. Event promoter Roger Harnack said racing personal watercraft such as Jet Skis is like dirt bike racing on water. “One of the biggest diﬀerences is that the water conditions change on every lap,” he said. “The longer the race goes, the more intense water conditions you face.” The best view of all the action is likely to be from Regatta Park, where vendors will set up booths and viewers

can watch the racers ready their skis for action. Open pits will allow the public to get a close look at the machines but organizers insist on no smoking — some of these machines run on aviation fuel. The Dash is the ﬁrst watercross race of this year’s Northwest Jet Sports season — which goes on to include contests in Lakeside, Oregon; Oroville, Washington; and Pateros, Washington. Races will start at 8 am on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, and continue for as long as light allows.

No “Just As,” no peace Pacific City poet Julius Jortner will celebrate publication of his first poetry collection, “Just As,” on Sunday April 26, with a book signing and reception in Cloverdale. The event will feature a reading by Jortner as well as piano music from Martin Hemens and light refreshments. Jortner’s intimate and honest poems express his perspectives on subjects as varied as aging and death, love and sex, being a widower, moods and dreams, people-watching, philosophy of life, the act of writing, and his dog. Of the 118 poems in this book, the majority occupy one page or less, some are as brief as haiku while others develop over several pages. Their phrasing tends to be unpretentious, usually straightforward without being trivial, making the poems readily accessible while offering some piquant

seasonings of ambiguity to allow the reader his or her own explorations. “Just As” is available at the Rowboat Gallery and Haystack Coﬀee in Paciﬁc City, at Cloud and Leaf Books in Manzanita and is coming soon to other outlets. The book also is available now at Amazon.com and directly from the author at jortnerj@ gmail.com. The reception will run from 3 to 5 pm, at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34395 Hwy. 101 South, Cloverdale.

Coastal authors Christy Fifield and Matt Buchman

Sign of the times Lincoln City’s Community Days celebration will extend its warm embrace to a flock of coastal authors on Saturday, April 25, with a mass booksigning event at North by Northwest Books and Antiques. Among the authors attending are Christy Fifield, whose “Haunted Souvenir Shop” mystery series takes inspiration from her 16 years of living in Lincoln City. “Even though the series is based on the Florida Panhandle, every small coastal tourist town has their Beach Books or Lighthouse Coffee,” she said. “But as an author you take your surroundings and add it to your stories.” Fifield, who also writes

under the pen names Christy Evans and Christina F. York, has published in a wide variety of genres, including mystery, romance, adventure, fantasy and science fiction. “Mystery has always been my favorite,” she said, “since my great uncle introduced me to the “Perry Mason” books when I was a child.” Joining Fifield at the signing will be fellow coastal author Matt Buchman — or to give him his full name, Matthew Lieber Buchman, which translates as “Matthew Beloved Book Man.” Buchman now has more than 30 books in print, including science fiction and fantasy works as well as more than a dozen romances. But his destiny to become

26 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • april 24, 2015

a writer took a little while to manifest itself. Along the way, he worked as a corporate project manager in seven different industries, rebuilt and single-handedly sailed a 50-foot sailboat, flew and jumped out of airplanes, designed and built two houses, and bicycled solo around the world. The event will also feature an appearance by J. Daniel Sawyer, who has written several science fiction and fantasy novels in addition to the occasional popular philosophy article. His latest novel “The Resurrection Junket” is described as “a guttwisting sci-fi adventure.” Rounding out the group is Dean Wesley Smith, a man considered to be one of the

most proliﬁc writers working in modern ﬁction. The USA Today bestselling writer has produced more than a hundred novels in 40 years, including a couple of dozen “Star Trek” titles and the only two original “Men in Black” novels along with novels set in gaming and television worlds. Together with his wife, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, he penned the novel for the NBC miniseries “The Tenth Kingdom.” The authors will be available to sign their works from 1:30 to 3 pm at North by Northwest Books and Antiques, located in Street Car Village at the south end of Lincoln City. For more information, call 541-994-3087.
