from the editor

Yep, we were lion to you

There is no feeling in the world quite like the feeling of being fooled. That slow, gnawing sense of disbelief, building to a peak of outrage before the dawning realization that someone is pulling your leg. Having the wool pulled over your eyes, even if only for a few seconds, is a powerful reminder that, of all the mistakes we can make in this life, taking things — and especially ourselves — too seriously is near the top. So my thanks to the many people who played along with Patrick Alexander the bogus sea lion interpreter story in last week’s edition. Their Editor & Publisher willingness to get on board lent our traditional piece of nonsense some much-needed credibility and, from the looks of our Facebook page, had more than a few people wondering how they had never noticed that Newport’s famous sea lions were actually unemployed musicians and high school students in neoprene suits. Not too long ago, just as my home country of Scotland was gearing up for its crucial vote on independence from the United Kingdom, I was taken in by an entirely ludicrous article in my favorite national newspaper. If Scots voted for independence, the article claimed, the county’s motorists would start driving on the right side of the road to match their counterparts throughout Europe. English drivers would continue to drive on the left, meaning that anyone crossing the border would have to navigate a nightmarish-looking, helter-skelter style interchange that would gradually wean them on to the appropriate side of the road. Fortunately, my habit of reading news on a smartphone while putting assistant editor Quinn down for his nap has turned me into something of a captive audience. By the time he had finished the milk and dropped off to sleep, the penny had finally dropped and my April Fool embarrassment could remain under wraps. This Photoshop zipper would fool anyone • TODAY photo Until now.

Improve your ornamental health Early spring weather on the Oregon Coast has set the scene perfectly for the latest round table discussion from the Lincoln County Master Gardeners — “Ornamentals and Native Plants for the Coast.” The Thursday, April 9, discussion will see experts share tips on rhododendrons, elderberries, magnolias and other colorful species that are bursting into bloom. Leading the discussion, Deborah Gallie, co-owner of Blake’s Nursery in Gleneden Beach, and her son, Nathan, the nursery’s horticulturist, will focus on how to successfully develop native and ornamental landscapes in the coast’s cool and windy environment. The pair will provide knowledgeable design, planting and growing advice on the wide range of native and ornamental plants that thrive in the area, as well as exciting ideas on how to use them. The event will run from 10 am to noon at the Lincoln City campus of the Oregon Coast Community College, 3788 SE High School Drive.

Stranger than ﬁction T

he email landed on my desk in the midst of dozens of other emails destined for the trash can. But this one grabbed my attention with the subject: “Oregonians Invited To Write Letters to Strangers in April.” I was reaching for my pen before I even opened it. From there it just got better. Not only was I invited to write a letter to a stranger, I was invited to write “…about something you’ve repaired: a circumstance, an injustice, a misunderstanding, yourself. A valiant ﬁx or a failed one.” Naturally, I immediately began thinking about the things I have attempted to repair in my life, which brought me to what might have been the biggest ﬁx of all — attempted, no less, via a letter to a stranger. That letter went out nearly 30 years ago. I closed it by saying if she didn’t want to hear from me, I understood and would not write again. I don’t know that I ever wrote a personal letter to another stranger. But I was sure intrigued by the invite to do so now. That email came from Oregon Humanities. This

is the fourth year they’ve hosted the letter exchange. It works like this: you send a letter (one to two pages is recommended, but no more than what one stamp will cover), a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) and the signed permission form, available at oregonhumanities.org, to: Dear Stranger, 813 SW Alder Street, Suite 702, Portland, OR 97205. The postmark deadline is May 8. Once the letters are in, the Dear Stranger staﬀ will take your letter and put it in a SASE from someone else who lives in a diﬀerent part of the state. Then, they put someone else’s letter in your SASE and ship it back to you. It’s important that you don’t put your contact information in the initial letter. If you want to continue corresponding with the letter writer, send your reply to the Dear Stranger program. They’ll forward it. From there on you can communicate with each other directly. Oregon Humanities decided to do this as a way for readers of their magazine, published three times a year, to participate.

“Part of the reason we wanted to do this through the mail rather than encouraging people to send emails is that it’s always nice to get mail,” said Ben Waterhouse, communications coordinator at Oregon Humanities. “There’s always something personal about getting a handwritten letter. We don’t require that they are handwritten, but it is personally touching getting a handwritten letter.” (Assuming that, unlike mine, your handwriting is legible.) Participants have come from all over the state, except the farthest southeastern corner. The majority of letter writers tend to be women over the age of 40, Waterhouse said. That doesn’t surprise me. For years, I wrote letters all the time. I wrote pages and pages in long hand sitting at the kitchen table, filling in the most mundane details of my life. And then came computers and email and, well, you might say the pen ran dry. But I’ve always missed the days of opening the mailbox and finding a personal letter inside. An unopened letter carries with it all sorts of possibilities. Opened, each line is a revelation, a communication, personal and private. And no matter how miles separate the writer and reader, the experience is a shared one. To this day, I have letters from my mom, my sister, my niece, my grandma and an old beau that I have carried with me for decades, stretching back to 1979 when I left my Pennsylvania hometown for Alaska. Every once in a while, I’ll pull out the old suitcase where they are stored and reread them; and every time, I’ll notice something I hadn’t remembered, see something that feels utterly new. And across the years and space, we are once again connected. Letters from past letter exchanges have addressed all sorts of subject, Waterhouse said. “Last year’s prompt was quandary,” he said. “We saw very heavy writing, the death of parents, serious illness, but also light-hearted stuff. We heard from quite a few people who’ve had strong ongoing exchanges with people introduced through this.” As did I after my first letter all those years ago to the stranger. I had no idea what to expect from that letter, but not long after I sent it out, I received a letter back. And so began the relationship with the sister I never knew until that first letter.

coast culture A real disaster of a book A life at the coast means living under the constant threat of a destructive tsunami — so much so that some residents become deaf to the warnings. Award-winning author and journalist Bonnie Henderson will cast the ever-present threat in a new light when she visits the coast on Friday, April 3, to share stories from her book “The Next Tsunami.” Henderson guides her readers through the complex science of a tsunami by telling the story of Seaside resident Tom Horning, who was nearly swept out to sea as a 10-year-old when a surge hit the coast in 1964. Horning grew up to be a scientist and will accompany Henderson on Friday as she makes two presentations in Tillamook County. As a geologist, Horning understands the science and the politics surrounding earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the complicated psychology of living in a tsunami zone. And, living at the mouth of the Seaside estuary, no one stands to lose more. His home will be among the first to go. Henderson and Horning

will appear at 10 am to noon at the Tillamook 911 Station, 2311 3rd Street in Tillamook; and from 3 to 4:30 pm at Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Avenue in Manzanita. Both events are free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at both locations courtesy of Cloud & Leaf of Manzanita and Henderson will be available for signings. This program is presented by Emergency Volunteer Corps Nehalem Bay. For more information, call 503-799-5550 or email president@evcnb.org.

Jane Kirkpatrick, Phillip Margolin and Gregory Nokes

They write. Newport Reads! Three authors will speak at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Thursday, April 9, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Newport Reads! program. Jane Kirkpatrick, Phillip Margolin and Gregory Nokes will discuss their recent works, each of which deals with the experience of Oregon’s black pioneers. Nokes is the author of “Breaking Chains,” a nonﬁction account of the ground-breaking court case Holmes versus Ford. Margolin’s most recent work is “Worthy Brown’s

Daughter,” a work of fiction inspired by the same case. Meanwhile, Kirkpatrick’s latest book, “A Light in the Wilderness,” is the story of one of the first black women to cross the Oregon Trail and also features a significant court case. “These books were among my first glimpses into black history in Oregon, which is only recently being talked about and widely published,” said Wyma Rogers from the Newport Reads Committee. Nokes is a former reporter and editor for the Associated Press and the Oregonian. A

A fair offer Organizers of the Lincoln County Fair have put out a call to vendors, exhibitors and entertainers interested in taking part in the 2015 event, which will feature free admission as part of an eﬀort to boost community spirit. “We are banking the future of the Lincoln County Fair

on the fact that community support is the most important aspect of conducting a successful, sustainable, long-term event,” said Todd Williver of the Lincoln County Extension 4-H Youth Development Program. “Without that sentiment, in place from the beginning,

Portland native who attended Willamette and Harvard Universities, he is known for his work in uncovering details of the 1887 massacre of 34 Chinese gold miners in Hells Canyon. Margolin grew up in New York City and graduated from the American University in Washington, D.C. He came to Oregon to practice criminal law prior to writing mystery and detective novels. His success as a writer has resulted in numerous awards and slots on the NYT bestseller list. Kirkpatrick is a popular Oregon writer, speaker and

teacher whose books have won several honors including the Oregon Book Award. She began as a social worker graduate of the University of Wisconsin. In her retirement she homesteaded land on the John Day River in a remote part of Oregon known as Starvation Point. Doors for the free event will open at 6:30 pm for a book signing, with the talks beginning at 7 pm in the center’s Alice Silverman Theater, 777 W Olive Street. For more information, go to www.newportpubliclibrary. com.

we cannot hope to have a successful event.” Williver said the August 14 to 16 fair will celebrate everything from science and technology to arts and crafts to citizenship and healthy living in addition to the traditional focus on animals and agriculture. “With a carnival booked, vendors reserving spaces, and entertainers stepping up to the plate, the 2015 Fair is

already shaping up to be a true Celebration of Lincoln County,” he said. “We need a small army of volunteers, vendors with goods to show and sell, entertainers that want an audience, and participants.” To get involved, contact Michele Osterhoudt or Todd Williver at 541-574-6534 or michele.osterhoudt@ oregonstate.edu or todd. williver@oregonstate.edu.

Cater, dude.

Pigfeathers BBQ gives new meaning to the term ‘culinary arts’ By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Art inspires. Art enlivens the soul. Art can build connections where language fails. And, thanks to a Toledo restaurateur, art can also get kids to eat their vegetables. Becky Miller, one half of the couple behind Pigfeathers BBQ, discovered the power of artistic arrangement when she and her husband, Stu, started oﬀering a catering service. “Instead of just doing a tray of vegetables, I like to make art out of it,” she said. “The kids love it. To see them walking around with a skewer of vegetables and coming back for more — it’s just wonderful fun.” After the artistic appetizers,

the focus switches to Stu, who displays his mastery of culinary styles way beyond the restaurant’s regular barbecue — from Thai, Mexican and Chinese to an amazing chicken cordon bleu. “He is just an artist with flavors,” Becky said. “He used to go through his mother’s spice rack and taste all the spices. He can taste anything, literally, and figure out how to make it. It’s just his gift.” And Stu has been putting that gift to work by creating buffets for events of all sizes, from business meetings to weddings, with dishes like bacon-wrapped scallops, chicken wings, babyback ribs, housemade meatballs and teriyaki chicken skewers that use his Hawaiian grandmother’s

recipe for teriyaki sauce. And one popular item for business lunches is Pigfeathers’ famed pulled pork, served with coleslaw, baked beans and a potato salad made to a recipe passed down from Becky’s grandmother. The couple have also catered company Christmas dinners, with Stu serving up smoked turkey, smoked prime rib and all the ﬁxings, while Becky bakes a mean pumpkin chiﬀon cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. Catering customers can also liven up their event with a full range of beers from Twisted Snout Brewery, located right next door to Pigfeathers BBQ and another of the many projects that the Millers juggle

on a daily basis. “That’s what happens when you get two artists together — just creative juices ﬂowing all the time,” Becky said. “I’m always thinking how to make it look good and he’s always thinking how to make it taste good.” At the restaurant, whether its pulled pork, ribs or wings, Stu’s range of sauces oﬀers something to satisfy every palate from the relatively mild Smokey Sweet BBQ or Smokin’ Wasabi all the way up to Stu-Icidal Tendencies Level 3. And the couple make it easy for everyone to enjoy their creations, with all the restaurant’s sides, sauces and rubs being gluten-free. Stu’s sauces are already available to buy at the restaurant

website but could start appearing in grocery stores soon. The couple are working with a co-packing company to ramp up production, packaging and distribution of the sauces, with final approval depending on the company being able to match the flavors exactly, while using only approved ingredients. Meanwhile, there is plenty of activity on the Twisted Snout taps, as the popular Tail Curler series of IPAs continues to grow. The latest addition, Tail Curler VII, is the brainchild of Becky and Stu’s eldest son, Rob, whose previous beers have focused on exploring the qualities of a single type of hops, such as Centennial and Amarillo. For this beer, he has combined Citra hops, which give a citrus aroma and a grapefruit taste, with Zeus hops for a full-bodied finish. “There’s so many new hops coming out all the time,” Becky said. “Our Twisted Snout IPA is a classic IPA and that recipe is not going to change. But the Tail Curler series allows us to play with all those other hops.” Beer fans who prefer something a little less hoppy can chose from a range of pig-themed brews, including

Wilbur’s White Wheat, Honey Oatmeal Porker and Redheaded Step Hog. The brewery also just added a guest tap, currently serving Rogue’s 7 Hop IPA. And planning is underway for a party marking the return of Dos Oinkes, the brewery’s Mexican style dunkel named in homage to the popular Dos Equis. The launch party, scheduled for Cinco de Mayo or “Oinko de Mayo,” will feature live music from Franz Paul van den Bogaard and The Sons of the Beaches as well as a Mexican feast where Stu will show oﬀ his cooking prowess. Games will include pin the tail on the pig; a sombrerodecorating contest, where guests are invited to bring along a completed sombrero in a bid to win prizes; and a pig piñata. Becky, an accomplished artist who runs her own gallery, handcrafted the piñata for last year’s party — only to ﬁnd that her construction held up too well and was practically indestructible. “Maybe I’d better leave the piñata making to the experts,’ she said. “But it was a coollooking piñata.” The brewery and restaurant are located at the south end of Main Street, Toledo, and are open from 11 am to 8 pm Sunday to Thursday and from 11 am to 9 pm (or later) on Fridays and Saturdays. For details of upcoming events, check Twisted Snout’s website, www. TwistedSnout.com.

Time to reflect

Toledo’s First Weekend will see artists throughout town throw open the doors to their studios and galleries to display works inspired by the theme “reflections.” Featured artist Becky Miller, best known for her large oil paintings of kelp, picked the theme for the April 4 and 5 show. “I chose this theme because not only do I enjoy painting reflections,” she said, “but also because my paintings are designed to put the viewer into a contemplative state, in which he or she can engage in a type of reflection and introspection.” Miller’s studio gallery will be full of paintings showing off the beautiful reflections that can be seen on wet kelp. “I’ve always wondered what wet kelp looks like when I’m not standing in front of it,” she said. “In a way, each of my paintings is a self portrait because my own reflection can always be seen to some degree in the painting.” Also on display at Becky Miller Studio are mixedmedia pieces by Karen Fitzgibbon and fused glass pieces by Alice Haga. The studio is located at 167 NE

“An Inside Passage” by Ivan Kelly

Also open for First Weekend is The Yaquina River Museum of Art, showing “Yaquina,” a comprehensive traveling exhibition of 42 paintings by Michael Gibbons, depicting the Yaquina River Watershed. The museum is located at 151 NE Alder Street. For more information, call 541-336-1907 or email yrmaoffice@qwestoffice.net.

1st Street, half a block up from Main Street, and will be open from 11 am to 5 pm Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, Gallery Michael Gibbons will feature, “Marsh at Evening,” one of a two-part series painted by the artist near Destin in the swamps of the Florida Panhandle on a cold day in

December. The blue-gray colored water shows tall, leaﬂess trees surrounding invisible wildlife waiting to emerge on a warmer day. “I feel like these paintings can be turned upside down and no one is the wiser because the reﬂections mirror the view,” Gibbons said. Gallery Michael Gibbons,

“Kelp Geometry” by Becky Miller

located at 140 NE Alder Street, will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday, with complimentary wine and cheese on oﬀer. Nearby, fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly will be showing

“An Inside Passage,” a 16-by20-inch painting depicting a fishing boat heading home up a calm waterway after a day’s fishing. Calmer waters reflect the slow moving jig fisher and its following of hungry and

persistent scavenging gulls. Kelly’s gallery, located at 207 East Graham Street, will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday, with light refreshments provided.

A palette-cleansing show Two Newport painters will share the spotlight in a new two-week show that opens at the town’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery on Saturday, April 4. Carol Phillips has lived and painted in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years and is an experienced plein air painter who works in watercolor and oil. She studied under Deanne Lemley, a disciple

of Sergei Bongart, the famed Russian landscape artist known for his use of dramatic color. Phillips’ artwork has been in exhibits throughout the United States and in France and has won numerous awards. Her work will be displayed alongside paintings from Diana Perez-Moya, who will be showing oil and acrylic paintings as well as collages.

Perez-Moya grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and moved to Oregon in 1999, bringing with her the strong and explosive colors of the tropics. She was 13 when she discovered her love for color and art while taking oil classes with the well-known Spanish painter Pepe Garcia. She studied different art mediums and fashion design in Bogotá. Soon after arriving in Newport

she continued her learning path by taking ceramic and drawing classes at the Yaquina Art Association. She is interested in upcycling and giving old things a new purpose, as evident in her collages and painted oyster shells. The show will run through Friday, April 17, available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive.

The Shrew must go on

on stage

Pin your hopes on a great show, as “The Taming of the Shrew” comes to Newport By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

For centuries, Shakespeare’s works have been poked, prodded and parodied. Now his high-spirited comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” is being given a humorous but respectful re-envisioning by the Red Octopus Theatre Company, opening on Friday, April 3, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The adaptation is written and directed by Darcy Hogan, who said she still has great affection for the original version, which dates from the 1590s. “It’s wonderful as it is,” she said. “I love Shakespeare, but there seems to be this idea among some that love him that if you play with his works at all it is a disservice; that it’s not reverent enough. But in his day he was quite bawdy, so I feel that after a few hundred years it’s okay to breathe some new life into these shows, and that’s why I’m doing it.” One of Shakespeare’s earlier works, the play contains many of the signature elements that would come to define his comedies: roles are traded, reverse psychology is used and a lot of energy is expended in the attempt to wed (and bed) a fair maiden. “We’re all loving it,” Hogan said. “We’re enjoying his words but we are also having fun with them. Like most modern adaptations of Shakespeare I did trim it so that we’re not in the theater for five hours, but then I added some things here and there. So it is the script, we are using his lines, but there will be a gag here and there, and it becomes a play within a play.” Hogan said her adaptation

of the play was inspired by memories of the first time she read it; in 1987 at the age of 12. “We present the play as if you’re seeing what’s inside the head of a child in 1987,” she said, adding: “It’s not actually set in the traditional period or in the ’80s. It’s more how a kid would imagine the days of yore, but with ’80s flair. For example, Bianca has a Princess Leia hairdo, because if a young boy in 1987 had to picture a desirable woman, he would most likely picture Princess Leia, since she was just about every boy’s fantasy back then.” That ’80s inspiration extends to the typeface used on the program, which mimics the iconic title screen from “Back to the Future.” But Hogan said that’s where the similarities with the 1985 comedy end. “Petruchio is not Doc. Brown,” she said. The role of Bianca is being filled by Miranda Richman and Petruchio by Kyle Cooper. Other lead players include Melissa MacDonald as Katharina, Josh Lawrence as Lucentio and CJ McCarty as Baptista. The Red Octopus Theatre Company has been entertaining Central Coast audiences since 1978, moving around from locations like local barns, the Visitor Center at Hatfield Marine Science Center and the former Naterlin Center (now Newport City Hall). The group has since found a great resting place at the Newport Performing Arts Center, where they share a stage with two other local theater companies. “With Red Octopus you

Melissa MacDonald as Kate puts the moves on Kyle Cooper’s Petruchio

are going to see diﬀerent productions than the kind of things put on by the Porthole Players or Coastal Act Productions,” Hogan said. “You’ll see more straight plays and more challenging pieces, although we do put on comedies and musicals. Our next production is “Vania and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” which is a very funny play that won the 2013 Tony award.” On a lighter note, there has been a change at the PAC just in time for Earth Day that will result in signiﬁcant energy savings. “The theater has just redone the lighting so we now have LED lights,” Hogan said. “Not only is the light quality excellent but the amount of energy the new lights are going

to save is astronomical. In the past, we couldn’t always rehearse at the PAC because the rent, which includes the lighting fee, was so high. The amount of money that the theatre companies and the PAC is going to save is just wonderful.” “The Taming of the Shrew” will be presented from April 3 to 26 at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm; and Sundays at 2 pm. There will be a Thursday performance on April 23 at 7 pm and no performance on Easter Sunday (April 5). Advance tickets are $15 for adults or $14 for students and seniors, rising to $16 and $15 at the door. For more information, go to www.redoctopustheatre. org.

Robert Kratz as Tyrus, John Davy as Dwight and a glimpse of Rikki Reid as Mary

See “Dead Ringer” — live

A twisted tale of love and betrayal in the Wild West will play out in Tillamook this weekend as “Dead Ringer” continues its run at the Barn Community Playhouse. The dark comedy centers around Tyrus Cole, a horse trainer who lives on a ranch with his invalid sister, Mary, whom he confines to a root cellar during the day while he goes out to work. When Dwight Foley arrives at the ranch seeking help with his horse, he and Mary fall in love and begin plotting how to kill Tyrus and make their escape. Their plan escalates and in the end, the three find themselves trapped in a complex web of greed and secrets.

Written by Gino DiIorio, the play was a winner in the 2005 BBC International Playwriting Contest. The production is intended for mature audiences only. The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts production is directed by Robert Buckingham and stars Robert Kratz as Tyrus, Rikki Reid as Mary and John Davy as Dwight. The abstract Wild West setting is brought to life in a set built by Buckingham, Richard Coon and Diane Kreider. The play will run through Saturday, April 4, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday as well as 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Doors open 30

Drumming up a crowd L

incoln City audiences will have the opportunity to experience songs, rhythms and dances from the west coast of Ghana on Saturday, April 4, when dynamic vocalist, instrumentalist and dancer Okaidja Afroso visits the Oregon Coast with his band, Shokoto. Okaidja will oﬀer a pair of Ghanaian Dance Workshops in the afternoon, before taking to the stage with the rest of the band for evening performance in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Shokoto creates innovative music, drawing upon West African roots and the diverse music of the African Diaspora. It’s a mixture of traditional and contemporary African and world music that incorporates rhythms from Ghana, Brazil, Cuba, Peru and the Deep South. “We take the audience on a musical journey from Africa through the Americas,” Okaidja said. “The instruments we use, from the Afro-Peruvian cajon to the Ghanaian gyil, tie together diverse cultures and create a fusion of traditional African music and music inspired by the African Diaspora. The exultant compositions, soulful vocals, and energetic dancing combine to create an unforgettable and unique experience like no other.” Okaidja was born into a family of singers and songwriters. His crippled uncle was the town’s notorious composer who spared no one with

the songs he wrote about life in the township of Kokrobitey, a small fishing village on the west coast of Ghana. Okaidja’s mother was a colorful lead singer in her spiritual church. Her powerful songs of praise earned her the name “the spiritual singer.” As a young boy, Okaidja sang while he worked on fishing boats. The fishermen would sing a cappella songs as they worked; and Okaidja passed the long days learning the songs of the great sea. At the age of 19, he was accepted as a professional dancer for the prestigious Ghana Dance Ensemble at the University of Ghana’s Institute of African Studies. He became wellknown for his energetic stage presence and excelled in his performances of the Ga fetish dances. In 1997 Okaidja toured the Unites States with the Ensemble. Later on that year he traveled solo throughout Germany teaching Ghanaian music and dance before moving to the U.S. to join Okropong, a traditional Ghanaian music and dance group directed by Obo Addy. Okaidja’s career shifted as he began to do extensive research into the connections between Ghanaian music and the music of the African Diaspora. And it was this research that led to the formation of Shokoto. Through Shokoto, Okaidja creates music that draws from multiple cultural influences from the past and the present.

Okaidja Afroso

OKAIDJA WILL LEAD A PAIR OF GHANAIAN DANCE WORKSHOPS AT 10:30 AM AND 11:30 AM IN THE DANCE STUDIO OF THE CULTURAL CENTER AT 540 NE HWY. 101.

“Cowboy Bill” Olson will bring a touch of Wild West charm to the coast on Friday, April 3, when he moseys into Lincoln City’s Hillside Place Senior Living for a storytelling and sing-along performance. Olson hails from Portland and travels Oregon and southern Idaho in his work for the Cascade Division of The Salvation Army. He developed

the audience with a selection of cowboy songs. “I’m happy when folks are singing along, laughing, stomping their feet and clapping their hands,” he said. “Some even get up and dance!” The free performance will begin at 2 pm at 1400 SE 19th Street, behind the old Hilltop Inn Restaurant. Refreshments will be served.

The Pacific City Farmers Market is looking for food and craft vendors, musicians and entertainers interested in being part of the market’s 2015 season, which opens on June 14.

got to see this Glow crazy this week with a trip to All American Putt N Bat

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Golf — the game of kings; dignified, steeped in tradition, some might even say stodgy. As if. Miniature golf has always been a little on the crazier side than its older, more established brother; a little more willing to embrace obstacles such as windmills, castles and bridges; and a little more lenient when it comes to Mulligans. But All American Putt N Bat in Lincoln City has gone beyond windmills with its latest revamp, turning half its course into a scene that might cause movie fans to have flashbacks to the ’80s classic “Tron.” With heavy black curtains keeping the room dark, ultraviolet lights pick out the colorful neon tape along the edges of each hole, allowing players to guide their neon golf ball to the target. Co-owner LaRena Davis said the re-design has given a new lease of life to the course, which features the same holes that were around when she and her husband, Dick, bought the place in 1996. “I call them vintage,” she said. The idea to get into miniature golf came when the couple took a Sunday school class on a field trip to the course, which was then called Larry’s Putt Around. LaRena said Dick had a vision of how the business could be expanded by adding

batting cages. Dick, a logger by trade, was in the market for a career change after poor health left his brother unable to accompany him on jobs. Having graduated from Taft High School as a four-year letterman and coached Little League for years, Dick’s undying love of baseball made the business a natural ﬁt. “Not many people start a new business at age 60,” LaRena said. “We had a joke that if it didn’t work, it was Dick’s half of the house.” Soon, Dick was putting his mechanical know-how to work getting the Putt N Bat up and running, while friends and family lent their artistic talents to create the distinctive Americana décor, which includes murals of the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty and the White House as well as Presidents Lincoln and Washington. The couple’s love of country extends to giving out free copies of the Constitution to their visitors. “It’s very interesting how

many people’s faces light up,” LaRena said, “And we tell them ‘now be sure to read it to your children.’” The first hole on the course provides a flash of local color, with the ball crossing through a scale model of Drift Creek Covered Bridge, a sight LaRena remembers well from a childhood spent in Otis. But the most infuriating of all the holes is number five, an unassuming mound with the cup at the top, requiring players to show surgeon-like

precision in gauging how hard to hit the ball. Because of the space taken up by the two batting cages, the Putt N Bat was for many years missing an 18th hole, an oversight that has recently been rectiﬁed thanks to some ingenious thinking. With no room to build out, the team built up — creating a hole with a tiny footprint that requires players to make a simple putt into a trench. Then chance takes over, with the ball running down the trench to a vertical

conveyor belt, which hoists it 30 feet up to the ceiling before transferring it into a long pipe, which ﬂings it over the heads of the folks at the front desk and, if you’re lucky, through the center of a target. If you’re not lucky, the ball clangs oﬀ the target and falls into a strategically placed net. With this, as with the rest of the course, LaRena has one piece of advice. “Easy does it,” she said. “Some people come in and want to take a good old golf swing.” People that feel the need to swing hard and fast might feel more at home in the batting cages, which send out pitches at 45, 65 or 80 miles per hour as well as a slow “underarm” option for beginners. As well as the lure of 20 pitches for just $1.50, the cages give people the chance

to try out high-end bats before deciding whether to buy. Dick is often on hand to help people find the equipment that’s best for them as well as lending budding baseball and softball players the benefit of his coaching experience. And for LaRena, that is the best part of the couple’s second career. “When you see a girl that has never batted,” she said, “and the look on her face like ‘I can do this,’ it’s a beautiful thing to see her succeed.” All American Putt N Bat, which also offers video games and air hockey, is located at 1255 NW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City and is open from 1 to 6 pm Monday to Friday; noon to 7 pm on Saturday; and noon to 6 pm on Sunday.
