Resistance is futile Writers on the Edge will welcome Natalie Serber to the Newport Visual Arts Center Saturday, April 27 — a writer whose characters the Wall Street Journal has deemed “irresistible.â€? Serber’s debut book, a collection of short stories entitled “Shout Her Lovely Name,â€? was listed as a New York Times “notable bookâ€? for 2012 and was an Oregonian Top Ten Northwest book the same year. Her work has been published in The Bellingham Review, Inkwell Magazine, Third Coast, Fourth Genre and Hunger Mountain. She has won the John Steinbeck, Tobias Wolff and H.E. Francis Awards and was short-listed in Best American Short Stories. Serber grew up in Santa Cruz and studied at UC Irvine and UC Santa Cruz before taking time off to raise her children. When her youngest entered preschool she took a writing class — and kept going. She received her MFA in fiction from Warren Wilson College. Now her youngest has entered college and Serber is working on a novel. She now lives in Portland and teaches fiction writing classes at Marylhurst University. The program begins at 7 pm, with an open mic for local writers following the presentation. General admission is $6 and students are admitted free.

Concord prepares for landing More than 60 of poets from throughout the northwest are set to descend on Newport for the fifth annual Northwest Poets’ Concord starting Friday, May 3. The annual conference is organized and hosted by local professor and writer Dr. Sandra Ellston, who also serves as president of Writers on the Edge. â€œThe conference is aptly named a ‘concord,’â€? Ellston said. “Seldom will you find such a large and harmonious gathering of people who are lovers and practitioners of poetry. Everyone who comes to the Concord learns something new from a working poet.â€? The event will take place at the Hallmark Resort, 744 SW Elizabeth Street, beginning at 3 pm on Friday, May 3, running from 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, May 4, and 9 am to noon on Sunday, May 5. At 5 pm on Friday, award-winning poet Ellen Waterston, founder of The Nature of Words in Bend, will give the keynote presentation, which is free and open to the public. Those reading from their works or presenting workshops include poets from Seattle to Sacramento and from Grants Pass to Pendleton. Well-known local poets in attendance will include Sue Lick, Julius Jortner, and Ruth F. Harrison. Others hail from the greater Portland area and Willamette W Valley, including Don Colburn, Toni Hanner, David Hedges, Eleanor Berry, Henry Hughes and Barbara Drake. Special workshops focus on topics such as poetry and yoga, poetry and the Blues, poetry and photography, poetry of place and revising poetry. Events on Sunday include a book fair, where authors will be available to sign their books. Both Friday and Saturday’s events conclude with open mics, where anyone can stand up and read a single poem. The Northwest Poets’ Concord is sponsored by Writers on the Edge with grant support from the Lane Literary Guild. The public can register for the conference for $60, which includes a breakfast brunch on Saturday and Sunday; pre-registration for the conference is required. For more information, go to poetsconcord.org.

Too hot to Handel Opera fans will get the chance to see Julius Caesar and Cleopatra as never before when Handel’s “Giulio Cesare” hits the big screen in the Newport Performing Arts Center on Saturday, April 27. Presented as part of The Met: Live in HD series, David McVicar’s version of the 18th century masterpiece draws parallels between Roman and British imperialism by shifting the action to 19th Century colonial India. The world’s leading countertenor, David Daniels, sings the title role opposite Natalie Dessay as an irresistibly exotic Cleopatra. Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts. “Giulio Cesare” is hosted locally by William and Francia Koehn and sponsored by the Jeannette B. Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation, the City of Newport, season benefactors Anonymous and Bill and JoAnn Barton. The performance, beamed live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, runs from 9 am to 1:35 pm at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street, Newport Ticket prices are $20 general admission, $17 for seniors and $10 for students, available at the Newport Performing Arts Center box office, or by phone at 541-265-2787. Box office hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and one hour prior to performance times.

Don’t keep this show a secret

A vibrant garden will bloom for the two audiences of the Neskowin Valley School student production of “The Secret Garden,” on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27. Based on the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel of the same name, “The Secret Garden” tells the story of Mary Lennox, an orphan from India who comes to live at her uncle’s mysterious English estate. An abandoned garden is at the heart of a surprising transformation in Mary as she learns her family’s secrets. NVS students from grades 2-7 make up the cast and home-school students join the ensemble this year, too. “The children have been working so hard and are so excited to perform this beautiful and touching play,” drama teacher Joanna Dye said. “I have been amazed at the support and encouragement that this cast has received from their teachers and parents. I hope many people will come see the result of their work.” The Friday, April 26, show will begin at 7pm at the school premises on Slab Creek Road in Neskowin. It will be preceded by the school’s Vacation Raffle drawing at 6:30 pm, with a $5,000 travel voucher up for grabs. Tickets can be purchased until 5:30 pm of the night of the drawing. For more information, got to www.neskowinvalleyschool.com, or call 503-392-3124. The next day, the action will shift to the Lincoln City Community Center, with the show starting at 7 pm and a bake sale during the intermission. Tickets for both shows will be available at the door for $10 or $5 for children under 12. Drama classes are part of the line-up of Neskowin Valley School’s Friday School, four Fridays in May when home school or public school students on a four-day week can attend a series of elective classes. More information about Friday School and 2013-14 enrollment is available on the school’s website.

Edison ready to shine One of America’s most notable inventors will be brought to life on the stage of the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Tuesday, April 30, in “Thomas Edison: Inventor, Lecturer & Prankster.” Produced by Theatreworks USA and presented as the fourth play in the cultural center’s “History Lives” series, the show invites audiences to help Edison recreate some of his most famous experiments. Along the way, Edison shares several secrets that everyone can utilize in their dayto-day lives: the importance of hard work, the value of mistakes, the ability to turn liabilities into assets and the necessity of enjoying one’s work. The inventor is played by Patrick Garner, who has two decades of experience in roles on Broadway, on television and in movies. His recent work includes the Broadway revival of “Gypsy” with Bernadette Peters and several guest roles on every version of “Law & Order.”

He has worked opposite such stars as Whoopi Goldberg, Kelly Ripa, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Kline and Nathan Lane. His work in children’s books led him to found his own company, “History’s Alive!” to help students not merely learn history, but learn from history. Garner travels the country with his shows about Thomas Edison, Lewis & Clark, Ben Franklin, The Wright Brothers (& Sister!), Houdini and Archimedes. This Lincoln City performance of “Thomas Edison: Inventor, Lecturer & Prankster” is sponsored by grants from the Lincoln County Cultural Coalition and the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau. This 45-minute performance, recommended for ages 5 and up, will begin at 7 pm in the cultural center auditorium 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for kids ages 12 and under. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Talent 101

Not your regular 60 minutes

Community college is a great place to go to pick up new skills. But it seems that quite a few of the students at Oregon Coast Community College had some pretty impressive talents when they walked in the door — with hula hooping, belly dancing and classical guitar all on the list of acts for the college’s first ever talent show on Friday, April 26. The April Showers Student Talent and Art Show is a benefit for student success programs at the college, including art scholarships. Edward Van Aelstyn, well-known OCCC English and film arts instructor, will be the emcee for the show, which will also include singers, a rock guitarist, a flute player, a pianist and poetry readings. In the run up to the show, the audience will be entertained by the college choir lead by Dr. Mary Lee Scoville. The audience will also get to help a three-member judging panel decide on the top three talents, to whom prizes will be awarded. There will also be a display of student photography and student artwork from Julie GoosPence’s art classes will be available to purchase at the silent auction tables. Tours of the building, including the Aquarium Science Building and the nursing skills lab, will be on offer. The event is sponsored by Wilder, the development that made building the college campus possible. It is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $5 per person. There will be light refreshments including donated coffee from Dutch Brothers, pie from Pie Chalet, and chocolate covered cherries from Grand Island Confectionery. Other refreshment donations as well as prize donations are still being sought. The event will run from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Central County Campus, 400 SE College Way, Newport.

The second Happy Humor Hour in Siletz on Saturday, April 27, promises an evening of comedy, music and family-friendly entertainment to benefit the Siletz Grange. Acts will include comedy and magic by Dan the Magic Man, Danny Roberson who is well known to Lincoln County audiences for his theater, comedy and magic routines; three time National Toastmasters winner Dave Coffman; Portland recording artist James Wright; and upcoming comedian Mark Tom, plus a variety of local comedy and musical talents. The entertainment starts at 7 pm at the grange hall, 224 Gathier Street just off Hwy. 229. Refreshments will also be provided. Tickets are $5 per person or $20 per family and can be purchased at the door. Proceeds from the event will help the Siletz Grange buy a solid security door and install safety movement lights. For more information, call 541-444-1212.

“Funny Money” still circulating Audiences have one more weekend to catch a performance of “Funny Money” at the Yachats Commons, a farce about two detectives, one bad guy and two couples who have very creative minds. The play, written by Ray Cooney, tells the story of what happens after a working stiff accidentally picks up a suitcase full of cash on the underground. The Yachats performance is presented by One of Us Productions, directed by Carl Foster Miller and produced by Robbie Schoonover. Actors will take to the stage at 7:30 pm on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27, with a final matinee performance at 2 pm on Sunday, April 28 Tickets, $10 apiece, are available in Yachats at Toad Hall, Touchstone Gallery and Ya-hots Video as well as at Waldport Video and the Newport Performing Arts Center, or on the door.

Get that tune right into your head If you’ve been wondering why you keep hearing people in the grocery line singing “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair” the answer will be on display for one final weekend at the Newport Performing Arts Center. As well as that particular catchy ditty, the classic musical “South Pacific” also includes tunes such as “Some Enchanted Evening,” and “Happy Talk.” But the Rodgers and Hammerstein show is not just about the tunes, with its themes of racial prejudice leading to uncomfortable discussions across the U.S. when it opened in 1949. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Tales of the South Pacific” by James A. Michener, the musical tells the story of two relationships that blossom when U.S. military personnel are stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II. A U.S. Marine lieutenant wrestles with how society would look upon a marriage to his Asian lover while navy nurse struggles to accept the mixed-race children of the French plantation owner with whom she has fallen in love. The show’s cast includes Darcy Hogan as the cock-eyed optimist Nellie Forbush, with her love interest, Emile, being played by Pete Theodore. The star-crossed lovers, Lt. Cable and Liat, are played by Stuart Clausen and Danielle Cramer. The supporting cast includes Karlia Bertness as Bloody Mary, with Kenna Bertness as her assistant and C. Christopher Hart as Luther Billis. Jayla Fletcher, Kody Bertness and Indigo Stone play Emile’s children. “South Pacific” will be performed at 7 pm on Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27 in the Alice Silverman Theater of the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. The run will come to a close with a 2 pm matinee performance on Sunday, April 28. Ticket prices are $16 for adults and $14 for seniors and students For more information or to book tickets, call 541-276-ARTS (2787) or go to www.coastarts.org/events.

There will be mud Coast Hills Classic Mountain Bike Race returns to Newport May 5 By Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” For riders in the upcoming Coast Hills Classic Mountain Bike Race in Newport, sweating up the hills won’t be a problem, and they will certainly learn the contours of the country on a challenging course in South Beach. But they just might be going too fast to form an “accurate remembrance” of the trail. The Coast Hills Classic, to be held Sunday, May 5, is a revival of a long-standing annual event in Newport. The first incarnation of the race was organized by Newport High School teacher Dave Campbell and some of his students, including Ben Eder. Ben and his family were instrumental in organizing and promoting the event for years. After Ben died in a tragic fishing accident in 2001 at the age of 21, the race languished. Last year, Bike Newport and the Newport Parks and Recreation Department partnered to revive the race. In honor of Ben and his family’s contribution to the event, the Coast Hills Classic is also known as the Ben Eder Memorial. Proceeds from the race now benefit a fund for youth sports scholarships. “It’s the only mountain bike race on the Oregon Coast right now,” said Daniella Crowder, owner of Bike Newport, “and the only one I know of that is run by this type of public-private partnership.” The reinvigorated inaugural event last spring was a huge success, attracting more than 150 racers from near and far and raising more than $2,000 for the scholarship fund, enough to provide participation fees for about 40 kids to take part in Newport Parks & Rec Department sports programs. “It was a total blast!” Crowder said. “Riders couldn’t believe how friendly and welcoming Newport was.” In a nice shout-out, Sue Butler, one of the professional racers who participated last year, wrote on her blog, “The community in Newport was just awesome!” With a DJ, beer garden, kids’ race, and tents of vendors, the Coast Hills Classic is more than just a race. As Crowder put it, “It’s really a big festival with a race in the middle.” Bike companies will have bikes to try out, other vendors will sell everything from gear to jewelry, and thanks to Rogue Ales, a beer garden will add to the atmosphere. The party actually starts the day before: Rogue Ales will be sponsoring a pre-race party and packet pick-up at Bike Newport 5-7 pm on May 4 at which racers can warm up a little early for the race on a bicycle-powered margarita blender. Then there’s that “race in the middle.” It’s

a 12-mile course (experts and pros ride the loop twice for a 24-mile race) with about a 1600-foot elevation gain, which organizers call demanding but friendly. It’s likely to be muddy, including terrain from gravel roads to single-track with great ocean views. Organizers are grateful to the private property owners who have allowed the course to cross their land, including the Wilder development, Oregon Coast Community College and multiple individual landowners. Race winners in the various categories will take home more than $2,000 in cash as well as a range of other prizes and raffle items. Prize donors include the Newport News-Times, the Newport Chamber of Commerce, Exergy Development Group, the Inn at Otter Crest and Newport Marine & RV. Race organizers were surprised and thrilled to be named as one of 11 must-do spring mountain bike rides nationwide by active.com, a web site that provides information and registration for a wide range of sports and fitness activities. The Coast Hills Classic was the only race in Oregon to make the list.

Welcome to the palindrome While a palindrome can normally be enjoyed equally in either direction, people hoping to catch the Wind and Waves palindrome program are advised to arrive at the beginning of the show rather than the end. Folks arriving as the curtain goes down on the Friday, April 26, performance might well be left saying “Dammit, I’m mad,â€? when they realize that the music of internationally known recorder players Letitia Berlin, Frances Blaker, ClĂŠa Galhano and Louise Carslake has finished. For those who arrive at the correct end of the concert at St. Peter the Fisherman Lutheran Church in Lincoln City, the four will perform recorder music from renaissance times to the present day, beginning with a solo, then a duet, trios, quartets, and back again — ending with a solo. Blaker, Berlin and Galhano form the Winds and Waves Trio when they perform in Lincoln City as part of the annual Winds and Waves recorder workshop at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. Now in its 15th year, the Winds and Waves recorder workshop was founded by the Oregon Coast Recorder Society and is now a regular program at the Sitka center. Blaker and Berlin live and teach in the Bay Area of California. Galhano, originally from Brazil, lives and teaches in St. Paul, Minnesota. Guest artist Carslake, a native of Great Britain, plays recorder and baroque flute and is on the faculty of Mills College. She a 2013 recorder artist-in-residence at the Sitka Center. The April 26 concert will start at 8 pm at the church, 1226 SW 13th Street. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for youth 18 and under and can be purchased at the door. For advance tickets or more information, call the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology at 541-994-5485, or go to www. sitkacenter.com/classes/recordlist.lasso.

Didger hear what’s happening in Yachats? If you hear a deep, otherworldly rumbling from the south end of Lincoln County on Sunday, April 28, don’t panic — it’s not a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, it’s just the unusual sound of the didgeridoo in full flow. Ondrej Smeykal and Stephen Kent will be displaying their talents on Australia’s most famous instrument at a Master Didgeridoo Concert scheduled for 2 pm at the Adobe Resort. Not sure what a didgeridoo is? Come along and find out. If you’re still not sure after the concert is over, Smeykal and Kent will be around to answer questions at a meet and greet following the show. Food and beverage service will be available during and after the concert, with the restaurant and lounge open until 9 pm. The Adobe Resort is located at 1555 Hwy 101, Yachats. Tickets are $20 available at the Adobe Resort in Yachats or Chuck’s Video in Waldport. For more information, call 541-563-5172 or 541-961-1339, or go to www.mccaslindidgecrafters.com.

An enlightening exhibit

Ozone Fine Arts in Newport is inviting guests to keep the themes of Earth Day in mind as they peruse a show that highlights the connections between science and art. “With Earth Day upon us, we notice there is art and beauty in the very structure in which things are made;� Ozone owner Karen Candelario said, “in cells, DNA, and molecules all the way to the configuration of our landscapes and galaxies.� “The very media artists work with, from oils to photography, are inherently science and chemistry,� she added. The show, entitled “For the Love of Science in Art� includes work by Oregon artists Amy Royce and Caroll Loomis, who use a technique thousands of years old to paint with wax, resin and pigments. Also on show are works by Natasha Bacca, who literally paints with light — using light-emitting devices to brush color into form across light-sensitive paper. The new science of ‘upcycling’ and creating art from reclaimed materials is featured ‘trunk show’ style while kinetic sculptures and luminescent wire light sculptures are also on show. Unlike most art shows, this one invites guests to take part. Bring a piece of technology — a cog, machine parts or an old keyboard that doesn’t work — to add to the gallery’s Interactive Art Sculpture that will keep on growing until the show ends on May 13. Ozone Fine Art is located upstairs at 669 SW Bay Blvd., Newport. For more information call 541-265-9500, or go to www.ozonefineart.com

All carrot, no stick Cafe C’est La Vie will hold its second “Artisan Afternoonâ€? on Friday, April 26, giving people the chance to meet local artists and enjoy their works. The afternoon will feature Lori Lemmons with her handfelted hats, Joanne Daschel’s intricate glass mosaics and Joe Bergenscheider’s photographs from the South Pacific. Accompanying the art will be local guitarist Brian Gaunt, playing folk and Americana tunes. Wine and Beer will be available for purchase as well as a selection of European treats such as cheese plates, French onion soup and apple tart tatins. The April 26 event runs from 4 to 7 pm at 8 Bella Beach Drive, one mile north of Depoe Bay or two miles south of Gleneden Beach. The show will run from April 26 to May 24.

Coastal Arts Guild lunch The Coastal Arts Guild will welcome Larry Pistoresi as the guest speaker at its May 2 lunch. Pistoresi started drawing at an early age, using only pencil and pen. His landscapes are created mostly though his imagination and with intricate detail. Pistoresi’s overall goal is to inspire others and pass on his interests and skills to anyone who is interested. Another of his creative skills is making small kinetic subjects primarily out of plastic, including a drum set so small it fit on a business card. The lunch will take place from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, Newport. For more information call 541-265-5228 or 541-265-2621.

Tough to bead The Yaquina Art association will present the polymer clay work of Judith Pierce in a two-week Artisan Spotlight Show from April 27 through May 10. Pierce said using polymer clay, a versatile synthetic modeling material which is soft until it is baked and hardened, satisfies her deeply felt need to be creative and bring an object into being. Made out of pigments and PVC particles bound together by a plasticizer, the clay must be conditioned before using, a process Pierce accomplishes by mixing the solids and liquids in the clay using a pasta machine. Once conditioned, the clay can be formed into beads, pendants and other types of jewelry; sculpted into figures; or used for decorating surfaces such as containers, journal covers and light switch covers. In addition to the clay pieces, Pierce will be displaying jewelry made from glass, gemstones and natural materials such a pearls and shells. Pierce is a member of the Yaquina Art Association as well as the Artists Studio Association of Lincoln City. The Artisan Spotlight show is on display at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, located at 789 NW Beach Drive, Newport, and open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.

Artistic? Giotto down these details‌ There is still time for budding artists of all ages and abilities to submit their work at the second annual Community Art Show at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This non-juried art show opens April 27 and runs through May 20, as part of Vivian Williams with ‘Rainbow Buttery’ Lincoln City’s annual Community Days celebration. “We’re so happy to announce the return of the Community Art Show, which was first introduced for Community Days 2012,â€? said center director Niki Price. “This is an opportunity for every artist — young and old, experienced and amateur — to display something that they are proud of. Last year’s event was a big success, with more than 30 artists participating. Don’t hide that beautiful artwork in a closet — show it off at the Community Art Show!â€? Center staff will be accepting artwork on Thursday and Friday, April 25 and 26, from 10 am to 4 pm, and on Saturday, April 27, from 10 am until 2 pm. Once the show is ready, the artists can invite their friends and family to a special reception, with refreshments, from 2-4 pm on Saturday, April 27, in the Elizabethan Room (formerly known as the Artists White Room). For submission rules, call 541-994-9994, head to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Smoke master Kurt Caine

For the TODAY

It’s been less than a year since the Carltons, Sean and Chenin, opened the doors of the Ribcage Smokery in Pacific City. The couple opened the restaurant, located just around the corner from their other business, Twist Wine Company and Tasting Room, in part to share their discovery that wine, particularly Syrah, pairs well with barbecue. “People are certainly enjoying having wine with the meat,” said Sean. “But mostly people just seem really excited about the barbecue.” The proof, as they say, is in the pudding; Sean realized recently that after less than a year in business, they were reaching a meaty milestone. “We’re just a few weeks away from doing our 1,000th rack of ribs,” he said. “I never really thought how much we would be going through when we started, but that’s a lot of ribs. That’s nothing like what a big restaurant in Portland would go through, but I was pretty excited when I realized it. We haven’t quite nailed down what it will be, but we’re going to be doing something special for the person who orders ribs off of that 1000th rack.” As of this writing, the 1000th rib order has not been placed, so now is the best time to try the Carltons’ ribs, if you’re not already a loyal customer. The smokery, just like the wine company, is a labor of love; one of Sean’s hobbies is designing and building smokers, and he and his smoke master, Kurt Caine, have spent a lot of time refining their smoking process to produce the meat of their dreams. “We need to make sure it is fall-offthe-bone tender,” said Sean. “There is a process I learned in Texas called the ‘Texas crutch’ that is used for smoking brisket. Once the brisket breaks through the temperature plateau, it is taken off the smoker, and they put a braising sauce and put it back in the smoker. I’ve taken that and modified it for ribs. Once they have sat in the smoker with the dry rub, we take it out and add a braising sauce and smoke it for a few more hours. Then it comes back out and we finish it by putting on a glazing sauce that’s made to specifically balance out our dry rub and smoking it some more.” In addition to ribs, the Ribcage Smokery offers other items, like pulled pork that is literally pulled apart instead of just being shredded, and specialty meats for their increasing selection of sandwiches. “We spent about the first six months after we opened focusing on the meats that were coming off the smoker,” Sean said. “Now we’re starting to expand that a little bit by making more gourmet sandwiches. We’ve got a pretty good little reputation going for our Rueben sandwiches; most people boil their corned beef, we use beef that’s been corned for thirty days, and then we put a dry rub on it and smoke it for 12-16 hours, then we add our house-made Russian dressing and house-made sauerkraut that has been marinated in a Chenin Blanc from our winery.”

Starting on Memorial day weekend, a sandwich that was a big hit last year will be returning to the menu; the candied bacon BLT, which is served on jalapeño bread and accented with the house-made red bell pepper and hazelnut spread. “That’s a really good sandwich too,” Sean said. “We’re also playing around with some new things that will be showing up this summer, like Korean-style barbecue, which is thin sliced beef with Korean teriyaki marinade, and Kalua pork. We avoided doing too many new things in the beginning until we really understood how the flow worked and how the smoker worked. Our smoke master has been with us the entire time, and he’s doing really a good job back there. So now that I feel like I’ve got a good handle on things and I can start playing with the more creative recipes I wanted to try. We’re also going to start bottling our barbecue sauce, but that’s a few months away.” Both the Ribcage Smokery and The Twist Wine Company and Tasting Room have a selection of Northwestern microbrews on tap to complement your meal, or you can enjoy some of the Carltons’ wine offerings like the recommended Syrah. “It’s been a challenge to get people on board with the barbecue and Syrah pairing,” Sean said. “It’s certainly still our passion, but we love how things have been going. It’s nice when people come and hang out at the tasting room, but we also have the patio, which was really rocking and rolling over spring break with the nice weather we had. We’re really looking forward to the summer.” The Ribcage Smokery is located at 6425 Pacific Ave. and is open Thursdays through Sundays, from noon to 9 pm. For more information, go to www.ribcagesmokery.com or call 503-483-1742. More information about the Twist Wine Company and Tasting Room can be found at www.twistwine.com.

lively Going fourth to seal the deal

Rhodie trip!

A tasteful event

Organizers of the clean up of crabbing gear from the sunken fishing vessel Chevelle are appealing for help in one final effort to clear debris from the cobblestone beach at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area before it is put off limits by birthing Harbor Seals “If we can muster enough volunteers to complete the massive cleanup we have engaged ourselves in at this site, we may be able to free this site from having this debris remain there over the summer and risk the possibility of it washing back out into the ocean,” organizer Peter Snell said, “where it could sink and ensnare wildlife or wash up on an even more remote section of coastline than we have been working at.” Snell’s Surfrider Foundation has partnered with the Bureau of Land Management and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to organize the clean up at the beach, which can only be reached by climbing down about a hundred steps, scrambling over a lava outcropping and down several large boulders. Volunteers have dedicated three weekends to the effort so far, clearing rope and foam crab floats that washed ashore after the Chevelle sank in March 2012. On Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28, from 7 am to noon, volunteers are needed to cut apart and haul away the rope and metal that remains. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, and bring along tools if they have them such as knives with serrated blades, hacksaws with blades for cutting metal debris, sturdy hand pruners that can clip rope, and battery powered reciprocating saws. Volunteers should be aged at least 14 due to the rocky terrain at the site. Surfrider Foundation will supply gloves for volunteers needing them and bags to carry debris from the site. Volunteers must register at the Yaquina Head Lighthouse interpretive center before proceeding to the site. RSVP is appreciated, contact Peter Snell at nptsurfridercc@ gmail.com or 541-520-5174.

The Newport Senior Center will be celebrating spring with a trip to the Rhododendron Festival and Three Rivers Casino in Florence on Friday, May 3. The festival has been running since 1908, marking the season when wild rhododendrons bloom on the hills and fields surrounding Florence. The group will also visit Three Rivers Casino, where members can try their luck at the tables and have lunch at the World Market Buffet. The van will leave the senior center at 9 am and will return at about 5 pm. Thanks to sponsorship from the Newport Senior Center Association, the cost of the trip is just $15 per person. To reserve a seat, drop by the center at 20 SE 2nd Street, or call 541-265-9617.

Oregon Coast chefs will be presenting some of their finest creations at the eighth annual “Chefs Against Hunger,” on Monday, April 29, in Newport.

Tickets, $30 each or two for $50, are available on the door or in advance by contacting Food Share at 541-265-8578 or info@ foodsharelincolncounty.org.

Try out for the dodgers There is still time to sign up for the 2013 Adult Coed Dodgeball League, sponsored by the Lincoln City Recreation Department. Teams must have at least eight players, each aged 18 or over, and a team manager. There will be eight regular season games plus a single elimination tournament. Games will be played on Fridays at the Lincoln City Community Center. The cost is $250 per team. For more information contact Karl McShane, recreation supervisor, at 541-996-1233 or kmcshane@ lincolncity.org, or stop by the Lincoln City Community Center, 2150 NE Oar Place.

Prepare for May-hem The Newport Senior Center is planning to celebrate Older Americans Month with a riot of color at its May Day lunch, with Red Hatters making the dining room pop with their rainbow-colored attire. To add even more excitement to the Thursday, May 2, event, past models from the Men of the Oregon Coast Calendar will be helping serve the meal. The May Day lunch is the one day of the year that meals on wheels chef Shirley Fry gets to follow her own recipes. Lunch is $12 a head and starts at noon but people arriving early will get the chance to bid on silent auction items. The senior center is located at 20 SE 2nd Street in Newport. To reserve a seat or donate an item to the silent auction, call 541-265-9617.

More room for lion around The Oregon Coast Aquarium’s new pinniped exhibit has won the seal of approval from its inhabitants and now awaits the verdict of the public, who can view the new facility at a celebration opening on Saturday April 27, and Sunday, April 28. The opening will feature activities including free raffles and face painting to celebrate the new exhibit, which is home to the aquarium’s harbor seals and California sea lions. Repeat visitors will notice the viewing windows have been doubled in length to enable about 100 more people to see each feeding session. The remodel also created larger, flat platforms for the aquarium’s mammalogists and animals to showcase training sessions. “It’s great to know visitors will be able to focus on the animals, rather than jostling to get a glimpse through one of the small windows we had before,” Ken Lytwyn, the aquarium’s curator of marine mammals, said. The stars of the exhibit, the pinnipeds, are already making use of the more ergonomic haul-out areas and other new features. Max, the aquarium’s male California sea lion, staked out the lowered presentation platform as his new favorite napping spot. Director of Animal Husbandry Jim Burke said behind-the-scenes changes will also give the aquarium the opportunity to accommodate more animals in the future. The $500,000 project was funded, in part by a $250,000 Tourism Facilities matching grant from the City of Newport. In response to the challenge, aquarium donors and members contributed the additional funds. The aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information, call 541867-3474 or go to www.aquarium.org.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

I

walk down the beach with my dog on a Saturday in April. My mind rides a wave of consciousness in the present tense and that means anything entering my psychic space ends up in a story without linearity. I expect to meet a freak, madman or mermaid this morning and I relish the thought. I haven’t shaved in three weeks and have considered not shaving until whales inherit the earth. Yes, there was a mistranslation of ancient Hebrew in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Time to compose a poem on the littoral move: The tide is high, waves a sallow green. My husky limps through flotsam and jetsam at the wrack line, where all my great notions foment. Revenge fantasies, too. A Zen koan materializes out of wet air: Rain falls everywhere but here. Why?

More waves of consciousness

W

hat occupies my mind today? Pete Townshend answers the question: “Nothing is planned but the sea and sand.” That lyric is from “Sea and Sand” off The Who’s “Quadrophenia,” inarguably the greatest rock opera of all time on the subject of beaches, oceans and rain. If you doubt my opinion, listen to this album for yourself, but not through a pathetic ear bud. Pete sacrificed his hearing so others might rock. So turn the stereo up to 11, assuming you still own a real stereo with speakers capable of attracting the police. God, I long for the days where Hi-fi mattered instead of Wi-fi! We now live in a knobless world yet unknowingly crave knobs to make subtle yet precise adjustments. Give me knobs to adjust my world or give me death!

L

impets speak my name and I pick one up here and there. I recently conducted a writing workshop with the staff of Waldport’s elementary school. In one creative thinking exercise, I had the teachers look through the keyhole and tell me what they saw. They all got it, eventually. Try that with high school teachers and most of them wouldn’t get it, forever. There’s something to be said for counter revolutionizing American public education by teaching all secondary students via the elementary model. Recess, art, drumming and naps. A little inquiry, too.

I

see my first cool driftwood fort of the season! I intuit something flirtatious went on in here last night and I relish the thought. A fantastic line written by a new Oregon poet comes to mind: “The wind bangs against the tantric fort.” This fort, clearly tantric, is festooned with a Styrofoam decoration, almost a mobile, that sways gently with the breeze. What an exquisite touch from such an insidious product.

H

ere comes a couple and their two black labs going totally insane in the surf. We converge and strike up

a conversation. The dogs tell me they hail from Portland and love the socialist beaches where they can run amok rather than dodge steaming piles of irony in an enclosed park where every human uses a cell phone.

I

encounter a man. He asks, “Are you Matt Love?” “Yes.” The man reminds me of something Henry Miller wrote: “I like men with weather in their blood.” “I’ve read your books. I’ve enjoyed them,” he says. “Thank you. It’s not often I run into readers on the beach.” He gives me his name and I inform him that my forthcoming book is about rain. We begin a discourse on the nature of rain on the Oregon Coast. He then segues into a story about how he frequently walks to Nana’s Irish Pub in Newport from his home in South Beach. He traverses the beach, parallels the jetty, walks over the Yaquina Bay Bridge, past the Fishermen’s Memorial and then into Nye Beach. It could be raining during his walks. So what? He probably prefers it that way. After a few pints at Nana’s, his wife picks him up. At Newport High School where I teach whales, limpets, rock and English, the students and I call this kind of story “sheer, lustrous gold.”

S

peaking of gold, I recently read “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton for the first time. At long last, I finally understand the classic “nothing gold can stay” line from the Robert Frost poem that Hinton threaded ingeniously through the novel. It now makes perfect sense to me after the 16-year old author of the book had Johnny, one of the characters, explain it. Yes, S.E. Hinton was 16 when she wrote the novel. I’m picking up the pace; the old husky, Sonny, falls behind. I give her six months to live. She is poetry in awkward motion. How do you say goodbye to the dog that’s hit the beach with you 10,000 times? Formerly black and white, Sonny now looks gray. Will she turn fifteen this fall? I’ve always told myself that when she dies, this column ends. Nothing gray can stay. Matt Love is the author/editor of ten books about Oregon, available at coastal bookstores or nestuccaspitpress.com. He can be reached at lovematt100@yahoo.com.
