This week’s top five
1
YACHATS — I imagine there are very few people in this world who can hear the word “Harvey” and not immediately picture Jimmy Stewart giving one of his finest performances as Elwood P. Dowd — the irrepressibly good-natured, mostly drunk and probably crazy loafer who spends his time in the company of an imaginary 6-foot3 rabbit. This weekend, audiences will get to see Bob Barber follow in Stewart’s footsteps as the curtain goes up on One Of Us Productions’ version of the heartwarming tale.
See page 21.
2
LINCOLN CITY — Normally, when I read that someone uses a clawhammer to make a bear dance, my first call is to the police. But, when the clawhammer in question is a banjo-playing style and the bear is break dancing out of sheer joy, we must be talking about Wild Hog in the Woods, who bring their exuberant roots music show to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Sunday, April 27. So don’t dial 911; dial 541-994-9994 and book your tickets now.

NEWPORT — Sometimes there is great joy to be found in a trashy movie: like the scenery-chewing excess of Daniel Day Lewis in “Gangs of New York;” or pretty much every aspect of Francis Ford Coppola’s insane take on “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” But when it comes to true trash-talking, no-one can beat Jeremy Irons as he guides audiences through the realities of the global waste industry in “Trashed” — the first offering from the Environmental Film Series starting in Newport on Tuesday, April 29.

OCEANSIDE — The magnificent glass lens at Cape Meares Lighthouse has lived something of a charmed life. Since being crafted in Paris in 1887, it has survived being shipped halfway around the world, winched up a 217-foot cliff, abandoned, vandalized and shot at. With the lighthouse now open for the season, the time is right to take a trip to admire this resilient giant.
See page 15.

LINCOLN CITY — No need to worry about a water hazard when you step out on to Siletz Bay for Mud Flat Golf this Friday; play only starts at low tide. There’s no refreshments cart doing the rounds, but if you get peckish you can always dig down and find a clam or two to keep you going.

Revolutionary row The Lincoln County 4H club is urging all coastal gardeners to pick up their tools and join a revolution, declaring independence from the idea that it is impossible to grow tomatoes on the Oregon Coast. The club has successfully produced ripe cherry tomatoes by July 4th two years in a row and wants to share the secret with everyone. At the heart of the club’s success is the TomatoBarrel, a portable system with a water reservoir that protects the tomato plant from the chilling effect of cold Oregon rain. The club is offering free, three-hour workshops showing how to build a TomatoBarrel. All materials and tools are provided except an electric drill, which participants should bring themselves. Registered 4-H youth attending the workshop can take home the barrel at no charge. Others may purchase theirs for $30. The workshops will take place at the 4-H Club’s Toledo Garden, located west of the town’s skate park. The TomatoBarrel workshops are made possible through the 4-H Sustainable Living Club’s Youth Advocates for Health grant, which aims to encourage youth-developed community gardens and micro-enterprise ventures. For more information or to schedule a workshop, contact 4-H Sustainable Living Club leaders Carl and Coralee Palmer at ur nextday@vol.com or 541iato V Luc 765-2109. by to

A porpoise-ful life Ever since moving to Oregon, Joy Primrose has felt a passion to protect the whales, dolphins and porpoises found along the coast. Her devotion to these creatures moved her to found the Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society and, on Tuesday, April 29, she will be the guest speaker at the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Oregon Coast has 12 different species of cetaceans that are either residents or migrate along the coastline. Many of them can be seen from headlands and shorelines. Primrose’s interest in whales and marine life first began with trips to Mexico, Baja and California; and increased after

she moved to Eugene in 1992 and began exploring the Oregon Coast. She became a volunteer for Oregon State Parks and their “Whale Watching Spoken Here” program in 2004 and went on to become certified as a marine naturalist from the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor, Washington. Her April 29 presentation will take place at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge, but a $5 donation will help offset publicity expenses.

Glory, glory, glory
Featured composers at the concerts include: (from top) Italian Renaissance composer Palestrina; early Romantic Franz Schubert; and contemporary John Rutter.
The Central Coast Chorale will provide a whistle stop tour of religious music through the ages this weekend in a pair of concerts entitled “Anything Goes — Glories of Spring.” The concerts, which will be held in Yachats on Saturday, April 26, and Newport on Sunday, April 27, will feature three compositions of the “Gloria” passage from the Christian mass — from Italian Renaissance composer Palestrina; early Romantic Franz Schubert; and contemporary John Rutter. “Singing the same words in compositions written by three different composers enables the singers and listeners to hear the stylistic differences in the three periods of music,” chorale director Dr. Mary Lee Scoville said. The mass is a sacred choral composition that sets the Eucharistic liturgy, generally performed in Latin, to music. The words and structure of a mass haven’t changed for centuries regardless of the composer. There are six sections to a mass, of which the Gloria is a celebratory passage praising God and Christ. “Palestrina wrote this mass setting in the sixteenth century when polyphonic or linear music was at its peak, Scoville said. “The Schubert setting illustrates the lush harmonies and dynamic contrasts so typical of the Romantic period, and the Rutter Gloria is filled with the contemporary idioms of dissonance, driving rhythm, and angular melodies.” The concerts will also include the contemporary compositions “Song of Athene” by John Tavener and “Nox Aurumque” by

Rooting out some great tunes Some bands have names that are boring, like the California Guitar Trio; some have names that are silly, like N Sync; and some bands have names that leave no doubt that you are in for a good time. Wild Hog in the Woods is one of the latter and will prove that they have the sounds to back up that fancy handle when they step on stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Sunday, April 27. An Oregon stringband that plays a wild mix of old-time, swing, sleazejazz, ragtime, blues and tin-pan alley tunes, this three-piece has a motto that
“Nobody leaves without a grin.” Providing the pluck is Hershel Olmsted, who plays a small army of five-string banjos with a clawhammer style he swears can “make the shyest of bears stand up and breakdance.” When not plucking a banjo, he can be found coaxing notes from his Stanley Handyman saw and banging out hard-driving backup tunes on steel guitar. On bass is John Simonds — by day a squeaky-clean engineer but, by night, a wild man who can cut lose and boogaloo with the best of them. His bass drives the beat of each tune while
also adding fresh melodies, harmonies and jive for the rest of the band to play with. Not to mention he can sing a country song like nobody’s business. Rounding out the band is John Donoghue, who plays the mandolin as if his life depends upon it. John also breaks out the tenor guitar, cello and even the chromatic harmonica when the spirit moves him. The April 27 show will start at 3 pm, in the auditorium of the center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $10 in advance or $12 at the door, are available by calling 541-9949994.

Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying “imagination is more important that knowledge” and, starting on Tuesday, May 6, a new class in Lincoln City will aim to help people unlock the power of their minds through a process known as guided imagery. “It is a valuable tool of positive mind-body interaction — simple, yet powerful,” instructor Diana Lynn Kekule said. “It is used extensively in numerous professions for its physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits to relax, release, clarify, and raise consciousness.” Kekule said guided imagery can be used for physical, psychological and emotional healing; as well as allowing people to reach peak performance and attain their personal goals. The classes will begin on Tuesday, May 6, and will be held throughout May from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm on Tuesdays and 5:30 to 6:30 pm on Wednesdays in the conference room of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. The fee per class is $5 and drop-ins are welcome. For more information or to register, contact Kekule at 541-614-0924 or luvsea33@ gmail.com.
Artisan Sportlight Starting on Saturday, April 26, the gallery will also host a two-week Artisan Spotlight Show featuring the stained glass of Marsha Christian.

— in life and on the wall
Husband-and-wife team John and Alana Williams have taken center stage at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery, with him displaying his photographs and she her paintings at the venue’s latest Spotlight Show. Alana Williams has always been creative; beginning with pottery and later moving on to decorative painting. But, since joining the Yaquina Art Association five years ago and taking her first watercolor class, she has been devoting all her time painting in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media. John, meanwhile, first became interested in photography in his teen. But it was observing Ansel Adams photographing the coast of Mendocino County that influenced him the most. Having growing up in a commercial fishing family on the Northern California coast, John’s photography reflects his attraction to coastal subjects. Now retired after a 40-year career as an electrical engineer, John is able to devote his time to photography as well as his other creative passion, wood turning. The show will be available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at the gallery, located at 789 NW Beach Drive at the foot of the Nye Beach Turnaround.
She likes making angels, mermaids and butterflies as well as geometric work, with some of her work influenced by her time living on Okinawa and in Europe. She still enjoys traveling with her husband and seeking out churches with stained glass windows. The show will run through May 9, and is available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at the gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive, Newport. More information is available online at www. yaquinaart.org
Start your engines Old cars will help make a difference for young kids when the inaugural Old School Classic Car Show gets underway at Lincoln City Cultural Center later this year. Owners of classic cars from the 1990s and earlier are invited to register now to participate in the August 23 show, which will see cars lined up on the front lawn and proceeds going toward the center’s children’s programming. “We’re excited to be the venue for
6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • april 25, 2014
Lincoln City’s only summer car show and hope to make it an annual event,” Executive Director Niki Price said. “The historic DeLake school provides the perfect back drop for classic cars.” The old school building that now houses the cultural center was built in stages, beginning in the 1920s and finishing with the addition of the auditorium in the 1950s. It held its last regular classes in June 2000. The car show will run from 10 am to 4
pm and offer three awards — the Mayor’s Choice, People’s Choice, and Sponsor’s Choice — as well as door prizes. As well as vendors, the event will feature a remote broadcast from KBCH 1400AM, which will also play a host of oldies to make the cars feel at home The first 50 registrants will receive a dash plaque with the event logo. To register, call the center at 541-9949994 or stop in between 10 am and 4 pm any day except Tuesday.

beach reads A series of poetic events Newport’s Nye Beach Writers Series will welcome Portlandbased poet, performer, editor and reading arranger Dan Raphael as the featured speaker at its Saturday, April 26, meeting. Active in Portland’s poetry community, Raphael has given more than 250 performances at venues like Powell’s Books and Eastern Oregon University and gatherings including Wordstock, Bumbershoot and the Portland Jazz Festival. After editing NRG magazine for 17 years, he published “26 Books” — 26 chapbooks of 26 pages from 26 Oregon and Washington poets. He organized a reading series at downtown Borders for 13 years, the market day reading series in St Johns for three years, and once staged Poetland — 80 poets reading over an eight hour span in eight places. His April 26 presentation will begin at 7 pm Dan Raphael in the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an open mic for local writers. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. On Sunday, April 27, Raphael will lead a free workshop on reading poetry aloud. The workshop, which is partially funded by a grant from the Lincoln County Cultural Trust and the Oregon Cultural Trust, will start at 2 pm at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org.
Seats available on Newport concord Poets of all kinds still have time to book a place in the sixth annual Northwest Poets’ Concord, which will take place in Newport from Friday, May 2, to Sunday, May 4. The concord has proven to be a place where beginning poets meet with veteran writers and everyone is inspired, networking occurs and, often, new careers are launched. This year’s keynote speaker is Charles Goodrich, author of “Scripture of Crows,” “Going to Seed: Dispatches from the Garden,” “The Practice of Home: Biography of a House,” and “Insects of South Corvallis” as well as director of the Spring Creek Project. His presentation, entitled “Possum I Am: Imagining Kinships Between World and Self,” is scheduled for 5 pm on Friday, May 2. The concord offers two days of workshops, Charles Goodrich readings and presentations by 50 writers including Molly Gloss, Ursula K. Le Guin, Clem Starck and Eleanor Berry. There will also be an open mic on both Friday and Saturday evenings as well as the usual book fair. All the action takes place at the Hallmark Inn and Resort, with attendance limited to 120 people. The fee for the weekend is $75, which includes two breakfasts. Registration is required and checks can be made payable to NW Poets Concord and mailed to P.O. Box 85, Seal Rock, OR 97376. For more information, go to www.poetsconcord.org.
Karen Karbo
Very Child-ish indeed Julia Child had the drive to master French cooking; the guts to brave the Paris culinary scene; and was a woman who did not flinch when presented with the challenge of boning a duck. In short, Julia Child kicks ass. Portland author Karen Karbo certainly thinks so, making the beloved culinary icon the star of “Julia Child Rules,” the latest addition to her bestselling Kick Ass Women series. Karbo will read from the work at The Hoffman Center in Manzanita on Friday, May 2, giving an insight into the woman who became a superstar in midlife and changed America’s approach to food and cooking forever. Karbo takes readers for a spin through Child’s life: including her years working for the OSS in Sri Lanka; her world-class love affairs with Paris and Paul Child; and her decades as America’s beloved French chef. The book has won praise from Cheryl Strayed, author of “Wild.” “Karen Karbo has written that
8 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • april 25, 2014
rare bird of a book,” Strayed said, “one that manages on every page to be as enlightening as it is entertaining, as smart as it is funny.” Karbo’s 2004 memoir, “The Stuff of Life,” about the last year she spent with her father before his death, was an NYT Notable Book, a People Magazine Critics’ Choice, a Books for a Better Life Award finalist, and a winner of the Oregon Book Award for Creative Non-fiction. Other titles in the Kick Ass Women series, include “How Georgia Became O’Keeffe,” “How to Hepburn” and “The Gospel According to Coco Chanel,” which became an international bestseller. Karbo’s short stories, essays, articles and reviews have appeared
in numerous national magazines and she has penned three books in the Minerva Clark mystery series for children. She is the co-author, with Gabrielle Reece, of “Big Girl in the Middle,” and the New York Times bestselling, “My Foot is Too Big for the Glass Slipper: A Guide to the Less than Perfect Life.” The May 2 presentation will take place at 7 pm at The Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue, followed by an open mic, where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work, with organizers suggesting the themes of “kitchen stories” or “my first cooking experience.” Admission for the evening is $5.

Master Chef in
MANZANITA Food lovers will have the chance to enjoy gourmet cuisine while supporting a worthy cause on Tuesday, May 6, when Manzanita’s Big Wave CafĂŠ hosts the Springtime on the Oregon Coast Dinner, a locally sourced feast prepared by renowned celebrity chef Roland Henin. Proceeds from the event will beneďŹ t the Rinehart Clinic, which serves anyone who needs medical care, regardless of their ability to pay. Based in Seattle, Henin serves as corporate chef for Delaware North Companies and is one of only 66 CertiďŹ ed Master Chefs in the United States. The title, issued by the American Culinary Federation, is the highest level of certiďŹ cation a chef can receive. Henin, who met Big Wave CafĂŠ owner Brian Williams in 1987 when Williams was a student at culinary school in Portland, said he could not say no to such a worthy cause. “Chefs, as a rule, are givers by their very nature,â€? he said. The tentative menu includes poached darne of Columbia River spring Chinook with an Oregon white wine veloute served with a jardinière of local vegetables and oven-roasted Yukon gold potatoes for the main course. The salad will consist of Oregon dandelion greens tossed with sliced Hood River Granny Smith apples, Point Reyes bleu cheese, toasted walnuts and mache lettuce. For the
Roland Henin
appetizer — fresh Oregon bay shrimp with plum tomatoes and green onion served on French baguette toast. Dessert will be a roasted rhubarb clafouti. The dinner will begin at 6 pm, with tickets priced at $50 per person, which includes one complimentary glass of wine. Tickets are available at Manzanita Lumber, Ticor Title in Manzanita or the Rinehart Clinic. For more information, contact Leila Salmon at 503-368-6132.
Lap up the bargains at Relay craft fair Relay for Life is known for taking over the high school track for a couple of days each year but this weekend the fund-raiser will take over the Lincoln City Cultural Center, too. The center’s auditorium, hallway and White Room will be humming with activity as the ďŹ rst Relay for Life Craft & Vendor Fair gets underway on Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26. More than 30 vendors will be on site, selling everything from nationally known brands to locally made crafts and

freshly baked treats. Crafts on oer will include wicker baskets and furniture, rugs, baby items, stone tools, woodwork and bird tables as well locally made goodies such as chocolate-covered nuts, granola and a range of jams and jellies from Gingifer’s Kitchen. Melissa Collard, one of the fair’s organizers, said Relay teams will also be running a bake sale table so that guests can nibble as they browse. Krispy Kreme donuts will be among the treats for
sale — just one of several nationally known brands available at the fair, which will also feature names such as Clever Container, PartyLite and Origami Owl. Guests will also have the chance to sign up to take part in this year’s relay, which will be held on Saturday, July 19, at Taft High School. The fair will run from noon to 6 pm on Friday, April 25, and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 26, at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Admission and parking are free of charge.
earth day
Aquarium offers a raft of activities
The Oregon Coast Aquarium will be making the case for eco-friendly living as it welcomes visitors to its Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 26. Guests will get to learn about the importance of pollinators by looking at a live beehive from Nectar Bee Supply; and will also have the chance to get their hands dirty by making native plant seed balls to take home. “Through our Earth Day celebrations, we’re encouraging the public to engage in these positive behavior changes for the benefit of a healthier environment as well as a healthier lifestyle,” said Beth Hawkyard, the aquarium’s volunteer services manager. “There’s no better feeling than knowing your selfless and simple act will decrease the impact you have on the environment.” And if learning about how to tread lightly
on the land is not enough, visitors can also see a trio that play hard in the water — with the aquarium’s newest sea otter pup, Nuka, joining existing raft members Schuster and Judge in their playground-like tank. More than a dozen organizations will be represented at the aquarium to promote earth-friendly living, including the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, Yaquina Watershed Council and Corvallis Environmental Center. Luv’n Salsa, the Honey Pit and other vendors will also be on site to sell their local or sustainable wares. All activities are included with general admission and no registration is required. The aquarium, located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, is open every day from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, go to www.aquarium. org or call 541-867-3474.
Pull cleanup duty this Earth Day Scientists the world over agree that sitting and admiring the ocean is 10 times more rewarding after a hard day’s work. Don’t take our word for it; find out for yourself at the Earth Day Ivy Pull taking place on Saturday, April 26, at Cape Lookout near Tillamook.

Time for a TRASHY MOVIE
coast culture Jeremy Irons in “Trashed”
The 5th Annual Environmental Film Series kicking off on Tuesday, April 29, sets out to answer big questions like: what happens to our trash; what makes dirt work; and what does the future hold for our food and water supplies? The series, organized by the Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, offers four free screenings of documentaries tackling the topics of waste disposal, water resources, overfishing and soil. The screenings will be held from 6 from 8 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. The district’s watershed specialist will be on hand to facilitate group discussion after each film, along with guest speakers. At each screening, guests will receive a raffle ticket for the chance to win a 50-gallon rain barrel or yard waste composter, courtesy of Lincoln County Solid Waste District, to be raffled off after the final film. For more information, call 514-265-2361.
Tuesday, April 29 “Trashed”
Tuesday, May 13 “Last Call at the Oasis”
Tuesday, May 27 “The End of the Line”
Tuesday, June 11 “Dirt! the Movie”
In this new documentary, Jeremy Irons sets out to discover the extent and effects of the global waste problem, traveling to beautiful destinations tainted by pollution. This is a meticulous, brave investigative journey that takes Irons and the audience from skepticism to sorrow and from horror to hope. After the film, Josh Lambert, water quality specialist from Lincoln SWCD, will give a brief talk about what happens to Lincoln County waste.
Firmly establishing the urgency of the global water crisis as the central issue facing our world this century, this documentary illuminates the vital role water plays in our lives and exposes the defects in the current system. Featuring respected water experts and social entrepreneurs, the film posits that we can manage this problem if we are willing to act now. Guest speaker Paris Edwards from OSU will be able to put the evening’s documentary into perspective by sharing expertise in local and global water issues and conflict resolution regarding the most precious resource on Earth.
Former journalist Charles Clover confronts the politicians who have failed to stop overfishing and the celebrity restaurateurs who continue to serve endangered species such as bluefin tuna. Guest speaker Jeff Feldner has been a local commercial fisherman since 1972, he has also worked with OSU SeaGrant and OPAC to promote sustainable West Coast fisheries.
Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book “Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth,” this documentary takes a humorous and substantial look into the history and current state of the living organic matter from which we come and to which we shall return. “Dirt! The Movie” will make you want to get dirty.
If you go All screenings are from 6-8 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

Rodion Pogossov as Guglielmo, Danielle de Niese as Despina, and Matthew Polenzani as Ferrando
In opera, it seems, almost any plot twist can be made to work if the characters are dressed up in sufficiently funny hats to render themselves unrecognizable to their nearest and dearest. A prime example of the dramatic potential of the funny hat can be found in Mozart’s “Cosi Fan Tutte,” which will grace the big screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Saturday, April 26, as the latest offering from “The Met: Live in HD.” The opera tells the story of, two army officers, Guglielmo and Fernando, who decide to test the faithfulness of their fiancées, the sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella.

The two men tell their beloveds that they have to go to war, but after tearful farewells secretly return to the city disguised as a pair of Albanians. Guglielmo and Fernando each then set about attempting to woo the other’s fiancée — their cunning disguises blinding the women to their real identities. The performance, beamed live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, sees Music Director James Levine makes his long-awaited return to the podium. The cast is filled with youthful Met stars, with Susanna Phillips and Isabel Leonard as the sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella; Matthew Polenzani and
Rodion Pogossov as their lovers; and Danielle de Niese as the scheming Despina. The opera will run from 10 am to 2:05 pm at the center, 777 NW Beach Drive. Tickets, $20.50 general admission; $17.50 for seniors; or $10.50 for students are available at the box office or by calling 541-265-2787. The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD series is hosted locally by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and made possible thanks the Jeannette B. Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation; the City of Newport; season benefactors Anonymous and Bill and JoAnn Barton; and event hosts Karen and Bill Symms.

P
With a trip to Cape Meares Story & photo by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
acked into a crate, shipped halfway around the world, winched more than 200 feet up a cliff from the deck of a rocking ship — you can bet the Mona Lisa never had to put up with this kind of treatment. But there has always been a hierarchy in the art world and, while the exquisitely crafted glass lens that sits in the Cape Meares Lighthouse would be at home in any art gallery, it was not built to sit cloistered in the Louvre. It had work to do. Built in 1889, the light at Cape Meares was part of the drive to develop safe shipping channels along the Oregon Coast in the latter half of the 19th Century. Constructed on a headland due west of Tillamook, it was designed to help mariners triangulate their position relative to existing lights at Yaquina Head to the south and Tillamook Rock to the north. Today, visitors to the site park their cars where the keepers’ houses once stood and walk the last half mile down a broad, tree-lined path to the lighthouse itself. The geography of the cape paired with the fact that, at just 38 feet tall, the Cape Meares light is the shortest on the Oregon Coast, means visitors have the unusual sensation of approaching the lighthouse from above — putting its magnificent lens front and center. And while the tower is the shortest on the coast, the lens is the largest — a 12-foot-tall, six-foot-wide, first-order Fresnel lens, handcrafted in Paris, France. Developed by French physicist Augustin Fresnel (pronounced “Fraynel”) in the early 1800s, the Fresnel process uses many concentric circular rings of glass to create a lightweight lens that captures and magnifies the light from a lantern into a powerful beam. In the case of Cape Meares, the first-order lens, boosted by bullseye lenses on four of its eight sides, created a light that could be seen from 21 nautical miles away. But first, the engineers at the Lighthouse Board had to get the lens all the way from Paris to the top of Cape Meares — an isolated peninsula served by rutted mud roads and standing some 217 feet above the sea at its lowest point. After a journey around Cape Horn, the lens sat on a ship just off the cape until mariners decided conditions were right to sail up close to the cliffs. Then, using a hoist constructed from local Sitka spruce, they hauled the precious cargo to the top. Visitors admiring the lens and its tower are likely to greeted by a member of the Friends of Cape Meares Lighthouse, a volunteer group that works with the Oregon Parks Department to care for the structure. It has been a long road to recovery for the lighthouse, which stood vacant for a number of years after being decommissioned in 1963 and was heavily vandalized. The Friends operate the
gift shop at the base of the lighthouse tower, proceeds from which allow the park to remain free to all visitors. Jane Dunn, a member of the Friends for 13 years, said the lighthouse welcomes between 55,000 and 70,000 guests every year, despite only being open from April through October. She said most people’s reaction when they come through the door is sheer delight. “And our job is to help reinforce that delight,” she said, “and help them understand what a special place this is.” The lighthouse made headlines in 2010, when two young men fired 15 rifle rounds into the lens in an act of vandalism that scandalized the area. The men were convicted and ordered to pay compensation, which went toward the job of stabilizing the irreplaceable lens. That stabilization work is visible to visitors who choose to climb up to the lens room for a closer look at the resilient giant. “It’s part now of the history of the lighthouse,” Dunn said. “It can never be repaired and it can never be replaced.” Dunn’s long-term view of the recent damage reflects the enduring optimism of the Friends, who have seen the lighthouse come back from far worse over the years. After the lighthouse was abandoned in 1963, all four bullseye lenses were stolen. But, one by one, they each found their way back to Cape Meares. Dunn said one was returned by a young man came into the lighthouse gift shop with a gunny sack and laid it on the counter. “He said ‘I’m getting married next Saturday and my wife said that she would never marry a thief. I took this out of the lighthouse.’” Dunn said. One was left inside the screen door of the park ranger’s home at Cape Lookout and discovered by the ranger’s wife when she went out to get the morning paper. Still another turned up after a drug raid on a house in Portland, although Dunn noted that the lens was “rather heavily damaged.” With many other lighthouse artifacts still on the loose, Dunn said the Friends have a ‘no questions asked’ policy for any items that are returned. “This is my 10th year here and every other year pieces of the lighthouse have come back,” she said. “All we ever say is ‘thank you.’” Cape Meares Lighthouse is located just north of Oceanside and is open from 11 am to 4 pm daily through October 31. To get there, follow signs from Highway 101 at Tillamook. Admission to the park and lighthouse are free but donations are accepted. To get to the lens room, little ones have to be able to make it up the spiral steps under their own steam. For more information, go to www.capemeareslighthouse.org.

Get fleeced in Tillamook
Registration is now open for this year’s Dippity Ewe and Shearing Too event, which gives sheep owners the chance to have their animals professionally shorn and cared for while also giving local 4-H kids the chance to learn new skills. Held at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Tillamook, the event sees 4-H youth team up with professional shearers and local adult volunteers. It gives sheep owners a chance to receive services that are often too expensive for individual small farm owners to access and also helps raise funds for the 4-H Animal Science Program. The Saturday, May 10, event offers a fullservice option — including shearing, shots, a drenching, foot trimming, foot bath and
spraying for parasites — at a cost of $15 for ewes and market lambs; or $18 for rams. Shearing only is available at $9 for ewes and market lambs or $13.50 for rams — with an additional $5 fee for fleeces more than two years old. Crutching ewes is $5 per head; parasite spray is $2; individual services such as shots, worming, foot trim or bath are $4; and fleece disposal is $3 — or save the money and bring your own bag. Registration is required by Friday, May 2, and the event needs at least 80 sheep in order to go ahead. Sheep must be dry and should not have a full feed the night before. Owners also need to stay with their animals. To schedule an appointment, contact Theresa Young at 541-444-2711.

Kids, as every parent knows, are a lot of work. But, after years and years of having their every need and whim catered to, there comes a time in a child’s life where they can actually make themselves useful by taking on a few chores. In an effort to make sure that chore-tackling kids do more good than harm, the Tillamook OSU Extension Service is offering a five-week after-school program in home economics, starting Thursday, May 1. Kids taking part will do three projects; a letter pillow; knitted headband; and a duct tape pencil pouch, all three of which can be entered into the Tillamook County Fair later this year. The class is open to kids in 3rd grade and above and runs from after school till 5 pm. It costs $25 for 4-H members or $50 for non-members. Space is limited to 10 kids. Transportation to the Extension office can be arranged with the school bus system, but must be arranged by parent. To sign up, drop by the OSU Extension office at 2204 4th Street, Tillamook.

A good reason to take a-fence The Nature Conservancy is looking for volunteers to help out with a Saturday, May 3, wetlands restoration project near Tillamook Bay to improve habitat for Chinook, chum and coho salmon. The work, at Kilchis River on the bay’s southeast corner, will involve removing barbed wire fencing. Participants should bring rubber boots or hiking shoes, a day pack, lunch and snacks, a full water bottle, layers of clothing — including rain gear — and a hat and sunscreen. If possible, participants should also bring leather gloves and eye protection, such as sunglasses or safety glasses, if available. If not, the conservancy has gloves and safety glasses to borrow. The work party will run from 10 am to 4 pm. The Kilchis Estuary Preserve is at terrain and volunteers will be expected to hike one to two miles over the course of the day. Registration is required. For more information or to register, contact the conservancy at 503-802-8100 or orvolunteers@tnc.org.

Quite a tail Hop to it and grab tickets for “Harvey,” on stage in Yachats
T
he folks at One of Us Productions are expecting packed houses for their new show this weekend. But if you do manage to find an empty seat, make sure you ask before settling in — you might find yourself sitting in the title character’s fuzzy lap. “Harvey” is the story of the irrepressibly good-natured Elwood P. Dowd and his unseen and presumably imaginary friend — a six-foot-three-inch rabbit. Written by former journalist Mary Chase, the play won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1945 and went on to be a smash hit on Broadway. But it was the 1950 movie version starring Jimmy Stewart that really cemented the lovable Elwood and his invisible companion in the public’s imagination. “I wanted to do a show that was good for children and adults alike,” said director Jacquee Christnot. “And I remember seeing the Jimmy Stewart movie when I was seven years old and I couldn’t get enough.” The play opens with Elwood living a content life, hanging around in saloons and introducing Harvey to everyone he meets. But his social climber of a sister, Veta, becomes increasingly embarrassed by his unusual behavior and resolves to have him committed to a sanitarium. After a series of inevitable mixups and misunderstandings, Veta is confronted with the question of whether she really wants her brother to change at all. “Harvey” is Christnot’s second outing as director with One of Us Productions, following on from her “Almost, Maine” in 2012. One of the

first questions it posed was how to cast a role made famous by such a Hollywood icon as Jimmy Stewart. Christnot said she resolved not to re-watch the movie and also to steer clear of the recent Broadway revival starring Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” fame. She urged her actors to do likewise, saying she wanted her Elwood to be based on Chase’s script rather than Stewart’s performance. In the end, she found her Elwood by accident — when Bob Barber came in to read for another role. “The kindness in his voice just blew me away,” she said. For Elwood’s sister Veta, Christnot said she needed a highenergy performer who could manifest her nervousness in a very
physical way. Attributes she found in theater veteran Johnni Prince. The cast also includes Akia Woods as Veta’s daughter, Myrtle Mae; Debbie Coxey as Nurse Kelly; Grace Coxey as Mrs. Chumley; John Debriprey as Wilson; Dean Peterson as Judge Omar Gaffney; and Barbara Grundermann as Miss Johnson. The play also sees community theater mainstay Terri Foust return to the stage for the first time in some 20 years, in the role of wealthy socialite Ethel
Chauvenet. With a stage in the Yachats Commons less than 30 feet across and one scene calling for 10 of the 12 characters to be on stage at the same time, blocking emerged as one of the major challenges. Aside from ensuring that

all the actors remained visible to the audience at all times, Christnot also had to make sure that no one was standing in the invisible Harvey’s spot or putting their hand where his head should be. Dealing with actors is one thing, but how did Christnot deal with the challenge of directing a 6-foot-3 invisible rabbit? “He was the worst,” she said. “He was such a diva.” But despite his prima donna tendencies, Christnot retains a strong affection for the fantastic rabbit. “When I was a kid and I saw the movie for the first time, I was really drawn to the character of Harvey and the thought that there could be this entity that did and didn’t exist,” she said. Christnot said that, as well as delivering plenty of laughs “Harvey” is a tale that speaks to the fundamental kindness of human nature. “I like the message that kindness is the most important thing,” she said. “If you have a good heart, if you have a good nature, what else matters?” “Harvey” opens on Saturday, April 26, with a 7:30 pm performance at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. N. The run will continue through to Sunday, May 11, with performances at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm matinées each Sunday. Tickets, $12 for adults; $8 for kids aged 11 to 18; and $4 for kids aged 10 and under, are available at the door or in advance from Toad Hall and Touchstone Gallery in Yachats; Waldport Video in Waldport and the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Quite the spectacle
Chekhov meets American theater, in Newport People looking for a fast-paced comedy will not be disappointed by the Red Octopus Theatre Company’s latest oering, “Anton in Show Business.â€? But audiences in search of something more meaningful will also have plenty to think about after the ďŹ nal curtain falls on the satirical romp. The Jane Martin play has won praise from Variety as: “a smart, acerbic crowd pleaser... Simultaneously a love letter and a poison pen letter to the American theatre.â€? The play tells the story of a small theater company in San Antonio, Texas, trying to organize a performance of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters.â€? With the action beginning at an audition in New York City, the audience is introduced to the three very dierent women who each hope that “Three Sistersâ€? will be their big break. Holly, a successful soap opera star, is hoping that appearing in a classic play will pave the way to roles on the big screen. She is joined by Casey, a veteran O-O Broadway actor who has slogged away

at unpaid roles for more years than she cares to remember; and Lisabette, a Texas youngster ready to pack in her teaching job to pursue her theatrical dreams. The play goes on to satirize every aspect of American theater — from directors to producers to sponsors — and at every level, from local productions to Broadway spectaculars. Directed by Marc Maislen “Anton in Show Business� has a 14-strong, all-female cast comprised of Nikki Atkins, Katie Barlow, Barbara Berge, Karlia Bertness, Khloella Brateng, Tricia Chandler, Linda Curtice, Mary Eastman,
Brooke Higgins, Wynn Johnson, CJ McCarty and Audrey Young. Several of the actors play multiple roles and, in a move that turns theatrical tradition on its head, some play men as well as women. “Anton in Show Businessâ€? will conclude its three-week run with performances at 7 pm on Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26, as well as a 2 pm matinĂŠe on Sunday, April 27. Tickets are $14 in advance or $15 at the door and can be purchased by calling 541-265ARTS or at www.coastarts.org. For more information go to www.redoctopustheatre.org.
A little song and dance Tillamook’s Barn Community Playhouse will present “A Little Song & Dance� this weekend, with one-woman tour de force, Caryn Backman cavorting her way into the heads and hearts of the audience. Some songs will be familiar, some amusing, some wistful and some whimsical but each one is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There is also a serious chance that she will play her accordion. The show will start at 7 pm on Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26, with the doors opening 30 minutes prior to curtain. Tickets, $10 per person, are now on sale through Diamond Art Jewelers 503-842-7940.

VOYAGES
& CONNECTIONS I
’ve been thinking about loss a lot lately. Most agree, I’ve had more than my fair share: the first friend I made when I moved to Alaska at 18; my mother; my brother and last week, my sister. All in two years and four days. Sometimes, as I recount the inexplicable dwindling of my world, someone will say, ‘Yep, we’re getting to that age.’ Which, forgive me, but I find really stupid. As if that’s all we have now, the waiting for that oddhour phone call, the ordering of flowers, the obit, the black dress and sunglasses. Life is about loss. It always has been, but more than ever I am finding it is also about discovery, reconnecting with old friends, meeting strangers in far away places, and learning they are not such strangers after all. Like the woman I met on a beach in Belize who, we were shocked to discover, had attended the same tiny Pennsylvania high school as I. Or the new friend whose family had immigrated to this country on a ship that was re-purposed to become the cruise ship I honeymooned on some 20 years later. And then came the Facebook friend request I got from a guy I’ll just call T., who I’d last spoken to 30 odd years ago. I didn’t hesitate to accept his request. T. and I met in first grade, and we continued as classmates all the way through graduation day. My earliest recollection of T. was of the teacher explaining that he’d been in a car accident and so
if he was little rambunctious or, well, different we were to pay no mind. T. wasn’t really any different from the rest of us, but he did seem to have a way of finding trouble. Not bad trouble, just the mischievous kind. He was funny and goofy, and sort of unflappable. And I was happy to reconnect with him, though I didn’t expect we’d have much in common. And I certainly didn’t expect after more than three decades that we’d reconnect across thousands of miles over a stretch of highway I drive all the time — fortunately, with much better outcomes than T.’s. I wrote back and asked what he’d been up to. He wrote that after being injured in a bombing in Beirut in ’83, he was discharged from the military to San Diego. Coming back to the states by ship, he won a big pot of money playing poker and bought himself “a hog.” Then he jumped on that Harley and took a trip on the Pacific Coast Highway. He talked about the cliffs and ocean on one side, the cow pastures flush with mushrooms on his right. And then he wrote, “Farmer shot me in the ass, thought I was a cattle rustler. Like I can put a cow on my bike. LOL.” I know, I know, getting shot is not funny. But how can you not laugh at a line like that? So I wrote back and asked, “Were you riding in
Oregon or California? “Farmer got me west of Eugene, Oregon,” he replied. Which put him, by my estimate, somewhere about an hour south of my house. Sure enough, T. said the farmer got him somewhere between Florence and Heceta Beach. Well, I asked. Did you report him? Was he arrested? (Thinking, as a reporter will, it would have been a helluva good story if I’d been here then.) “The farmer apologized,” T said. “The hospital in Salem patched me up after a lecture about GIs needing to chill … And I rode off on one cheek with a pocket full of magic mushrooms.” I don’t know that T. and I will ever reconnect in person, though I know I’ll be keeping an eye on him from afar, and I know, too, that every time I drive that stretch of highway between Yachats and Florence, I’ll be thinking of T. and his Harley, and probably looking for the cows. And I’ll be thinking, too, how in the most distant of places, in the strangest ways, we discover that no matter how far behind we think we left it, our past is always with us. Just like the people we’ve lost. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.
