This week’s top five
1
YACHATS — If you take a trip to admire the scenery at Cape Perpetua this weekend, keep your eyes open; some of that scenery might be looking right back at you. Faces made from stones, moss and twigs are among the many offerings from new artist-in-residence Janet Essley. See page 25
2
NESKOWIN — It might not have the name recognition of Carnegie Hall but the chapel at Camp Winema has acoustics that send chamber music fans into rapture. No wonder it attracts artists such as world-renowned pianist Andreas Klein, who plays this Sunday. See page 22
3
NEWPORT — Talented as Klein might be, his performance is unlikely to include a feather boa, sequins or even a single fabulous hat. All this and more will be on offer at the Newport Performing Arts Center when international cabaret star Lady Rizo takes to the stage for one night only. See page 22
4
NEWPORT & LINCOLN CITY — Spring’s dynamic tides and clear, sunny days make it the perfect time for coast dwellers and visitors alike to share their passion for the ocean. The Seatauqua program at Oregon Coast Community College is the perfect place to start, with
from the editor classes on ocean-themed art, kelp in all its forms and — courtesy of cover models Paul Robertson and Dave Price — how to rustle up a clam dinner straight from the sand. See page 17
5
NEWPORT — And if you want to pair those clams with a side of bacon-flavored seaweed, Hatfield Marine Science Center is the place to be this Saturday when the delicious dulse will sit alongside displays on ocean power technology and whale research at Marine Science Day. See page 18

A great reason to rhyme Poetic feats will meet musical beats in Oregon Coast libraries this weekend, as Portland jazz duo PoetryMusic comes to Tillamook, Lincoln City and Newport. The duo of Chris Lee and Colleen O’Brien will give three performances in celebration of National Poetry Month, featuring poems that have been set to music, music that has been set to poems, and music by some wellknown writers who were also accomplished composers. Lee plays the vibraphone, box drum and frame drum, while O’Brien plays the cello and sings with a deep resonant voice perfect for jazz-style vocals. Their lyrics are poems, everything from Maya Angelou to Robert Frost to Kerouac to Shakespeare. Lee and O’Brien met in 1980, and have been together since. They have led their own band, produced five recordings and continue to pursue their musical vision with their duo Primal Mates and their evolving Poetry Project. The multi-media performances are accompanied by a slide presentation, with each poem
projected on the screen along with photographic images so that the audience can follow the written word with the poem being sung. After the program, the performers will open the floor up to questions, comments and discussion. The duo will perform at 3 pm Friday, April 8 at Tillamook County Library, 1716 3rd street. Tillamook and again at 3 pm Saturday, April 9, at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101.
The following day, Sunday, April 10, will see a repeat performance at 2 pm at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. All three shows are free and open to all. For more information on the Tillamook performance, call, 503-842-4792. For more information about the Lincoln City performance, contact Kirsten BrodbeckKenney at 541-996-1251 or kbrodbeck-kenney@ lincolncity.org. For more information about the Newport performance, call 541-265-2153 or go to www.newportlibrary.org.
Pull some strings, get some tickets Irish music will ring out in Manzanita this Thursday, April 14, when Dancing Strings and Musical Feet perform at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. The Irish vocal, instrumental and dance quartet is comprised of Tim Connell, Marla Fibish, Bruce Victor and acclaimed Irish dancer Kieran Jordan. The evening will include traditional Irish tunes and songs, Brazilian choro pieces and poetry set to music — all played on an array of instruments including mandolins, mandola, guitars, cittern and bouzouki to accompany “old style” improvised Irish dancing. Connell, who lives in Portland, is a graduate
of the New England Conservatory of Music and a virtuoso mandolinist with over 20 years’ professional experience. Fibish and Victor are based in San Francisco and perform and sing original and traditional Irish music as the duo “Noctambule.” Kiernan Jordan, from Boston, is a performer, teacher, director, choreographer and writer in the field of Irish dance. She has been a professional freelance dancer for more than 15 years. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. Tickets are $20 at the door or $15 in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/2507501.
TALES, TALL AND TRUE
Being home to a fabric arts studio means the Lincoln City Cultural Center has seen its fair share of yarn spinning. But no amount of wool can compare to the tales that will be told on Sunday, April 10, when Doug “The Mountain Man” Force returns for a free storytelling session. Guests can enjoy complimentary punch and cookies while Force recounts tales from the Oregon frontier of the early 1800s. In “How I Killed My First Bear Bare-Footed,” rookie trapper Will Ketchem takes on North America’s most dangerous game, and bags it (using himself as bait). Meanwhile, “The Skunk That Saved
My Life,” reflects on the relationship between Native Americans and fur trappers in the early 19th Century. Force learned the power of stories at an early age and is fascinated by the interactive nature of storytelling. He has taught and presented at Portland State University, Concordia University and Marylhurst University. After his retirement he helped design, train volunteers and access a year-long pre-kindergarten program entitled “Mommy and Me” at the Western Forestry Center in Portland. He has worked in several public schools and is a costumed historical interpreter at
Champoeg State Park, Yaquina Bay State Park and Columbia River State park, sharing elements of the historical context of Oregon State Parks. He provides training for budding interpreters, as well as formal museum presentations and firelight stories. The storytelling session will start at 2 pm in Margaret’s Meeting Room, and will last about an hour. Admission is free but donations to the cultural center will be accepted. The Lincoln City Cultural Center is located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-9949994.

Much like being surgeon, success as a gardener often involves knowing which bits to chop off and which to leave alone. For those whose clippers need guidance, help is at hand in the latest round table discussion from the Lincoln County Master Gardeners — “Proper Pruning Practices” set for Thursday, April 14, in the Newport Public Library.

A LAST RAMBLE WITH SONNY ON NESTUCCA SPIT
Sonny the husky and I and departed Newport in the blackness of the early Monday morning. I had everything planned so we could hit Nestucca Spit in Bob Straub State Park as dawn arrived. This is the special beach where my 16-and-a-half-year journey with Sonny began when I lived in the area and served for a decade as caretaker of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. By my crude calculations, I’ve rambled the spit 1,200 times with her and figured this would be our last time together because I wasn’t coming this way again for the foreseeable future, and well, she didn’t have many weeks left. Once my great runner, she’s now blind and can’t walk very far. It didn’t matter; any brief moment with her on the spit is sacred to me. They remind me to keep being the kind of person who gets up early and roams Oregon’s publicly owned beaches with dogs. I timed it almost perfectly. First light
beat us by only five minutes and we were the park’s only visitors — my reclusive preference. I carried Sonny out to the trail and set her down gently. She sniffed to the west and made her way into the dunes. I followed her until she stopped at the crest of a dune, facing the ocean. She couldn’t see anything but I sensed she knew where she was, or at least I wanted to believe that. I took several grainy photographs of her and marveled at the incredible amount of driftwood sprawled at the wrack line. Rain started falling, as it had on us here so many times before. As I watched her sniff around the remains of a small campfire, my mind drifted to all the indelible memories from Nestucca Spit, almost all of them with Sonny as my companion. • In 1999, I built my first driftwood forts with students, seventh and eighth graders from Neskowin Valley School.
• I saw a woman throw her wedding ring in the ocean. • Three coyotes tailed me and the dogs for a quarter mile. • I witnessed a dolphin leaping through the waves. • My interesting conversations with Butch in the predawn before work. • I saw a man crash his brand new model airplane in the surf. • I reconnected with an old high school girlfriend. • Running through sea foam in slanting rain • I recovered from the biggest literary disappointment in my life by dashing naked into the ocean. • I channeled the spirit of Bob Straub, the late great Oregon politician who saved the spit from an insane relocation of Highway 101 in the late 1960s.
• I watched an old sea lion die gracefully from a bullet wound. • I refused to aid a man whose $60,000 truck nearly ran over Sonny and then got stuck in the sand with the tide rushing in over his wheels. • Many, many more. The rain picked up and it was time to leave. I shepherded Sonny back to the trail and she made her way to the truck. I lifted her into the shotgun seat and dug out a treat. I got in beside her, turned the key in the ignition, and drove the truck away from Nestucca Spit with Sonny the husky for what felt like the last time. Matt Love is author/editor of 14 books, including his novel “The Great Birthright” (Sonny is a major character in the book). They are available at coastal bookstores, through www.nestuccaspitpress.com and local libraries.

Organizers of Nehalem’s annual Trash Art Show are now accepting entries for this year’s event, which will celebrate cool junk reborn in all manner of forms on Saturday, May 14. The Trash Art Show is a local tradition and creative fundraiser for local recycling service CARTM. This year’s event, the 18th, will take place in the gallery of the North County Recreation District, the show’s new permanent location in Nehalem. “CARTM’s annual Trash Art Show is all about working with that irresistibly interesting stuff you’ve been collecting and wanting to create something with,” said organizer Lorraine Ortiz. “All the rules are made to be broken when creating trash art. From beautiful mosaics made from broken dishes to kinetic sculpture created with broken lawn mower parts — everything is fair game.” Artists can submit up to three pieces of work for the show. There is no entry fee and the only stipulations are that all artwork must be created with recycled, repurposed or reused materials and must fit through a standard-size door. The work must be for sale. Sales receipts are split evenly between the artists and CARTM. Artists can deliver their work to the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, between

THE NEST BEST THING Chick out the bird show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery
Variety is the spice of life for Oregon Coast birders, with a single outing likely to reveal everything from colorful songbirds to a majestic bald eagle. So it is fitting that the offerings at the Chessman Gallery’s annual avian art show should be every bit as diverse. The Chessman Bird Show 2016 includes metal sculpture by Steve Tyree, watercolor paintings by The Chessman Bird Show 2016 is timed Toni Tyree to coincide with the Birding and Blues and baskets by Festival in Pacific City.

The festival, which runs from April 29 The show through May 1, offers birding field trips, opens on a free seabird presentation, free kids’ art Friday, April activities, tours, presentations and great 8, with music from Franco Paletta & the Stingers a public and The Rockhounds. reception For more information, directions and schedfrom 5 to 8 ule, go to www.birdingandblues.org. pm, where guests will have an opportunity to meet the artists while enjoying wine and appetizers. A bookkeeper by trade, Marie Cole has an appreciation for the order and beauty of mathematics, which are apparent in her basket patterns and grids. “Whenever I am in nature, I witness more of this remarkable order,” she said. “the beauty inherent in every natural environment, the play of light and shadow and each element balancing with the harmony of the whole.” Cole discovered her twin passions of birding and basketry when she moved to Oregon more than 30 years ago. She combines these two loves in her basket series “In Honor of the Winged Nation,” which reflects the colors and designs of the birds that live all around us. Each remarkable basket is a labor of love that takes an average of 30 hours to complete. Despite the intense labor involved, Cole is grateful for the ability to work with nature’s materials in her hands and the opportunity to share with others the beauty that she experiences every day.

“Hawk on Stand” by Steve Tyree
years in the islands of Hawaii and Guam, where his father painted as a freelance artist. Growing up, he always enjoyed art and wildlife, which was reflected in his hobbies of woodcarving, photography and taxidermy. Tyree studied art for a short time while in college and then began filming wildlife as an amateur videographer while working and traveling throughout the country with a dream to become a professional filmmaker. In 1974, Tyree began to sculpt small steel animals, using the welding skills he had acquired while working at his brother’s auto body shop. Over time he began to develop his own techniques of fabricating his work from bronze sheets. Today, Tyree develops each of his sculptures from sketches and maquettes made of clay, styrofoam and sometimes wire frames. He then works backwards from the model, tracing patterns on to bronze sheets, which he then bends, hammers and welds together before grinding the surface to achieve the desired finish. While this process of direct metalwork takes a little longer to sculpt, Tyree loves forging each piece of his art from beginning to end, and people enjoy the uniqueness of every sculpture. Tyree’s goal with his art is to express his love and appreciation of nature and wildlife by evoking the inherent spirit of each bird and animal, capturing their grace and movement. Toni Tyree’s watercolor paintings echo the goal of her husband’s work, by expressing a love and appreciation for nature. She has the ability to capture the sweetness of nature and the astounding effects of light and color. The Chessman Bird Show 2016 will be on display through May 9, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm daily except Tuesdays. The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-9949994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter. org.

YOU’RE SHORE TO HAVE FUN WITH THE OREGON COAST’S SEATAUQUA PROGRAM By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
There once was a time when “the web” was where you found “the spider,” and screens were things you put on your windows and only rarely stared at for hours on end. It was in this time that the chautauqua was born; an adult education program taught by musicians, entertainers, preachers and specialists on a variety of topics. When radio and movies appeared on the scene, the chautauqua began a slow decline, aided in part, probably, by people getting tired of trying to explain the name “chautauqua.” A version of the chautauqua arose in the ’70s at Newport’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, emphasizing coastal themes and issues and boasting the more aquatic-sounding name “Seatauqua.” Though that program also eventually sank, it resurfaced in 2014 and is now being kept afloat by Oregon Coast Community College. The classes, held at both the Newport and Lincoln City campuses, focus on art and science and are, according to Director Dave Price, “enriching, engaging, entertaining and educational.” The spring series begins with “Mermaid and Fish Collage,” offered in Newport on April 13, then in Lincoln City on June 1. “You don’t have to have talent,” instructor Marion Moir said. “We’ll be bringing out your inner creativity. I will cover composition, though. I say the class lets you feel like a kid again, but honestly I think even adults love to
color, glue, shred and play with sparkly things; I know I do.” A Newport-based artist, Moir teaches collage out of her Nye Beach studio, Marion Moir Watercolors. “I love anything to do with the sea,” she said. “That’s why I live here.” The second two classes in the series will be taught by one of the people who helped revive the program. “I remembered the original Seatauqua program and loved it,” said Heather Fortner. “When I came back to the area and heard it had ended, I started whining to Hatfield about bringing it back; I was so thankful that Dave Price agreed to take it on.” Fortner’s first class, “Nature Printed Journal” will be offered at the Newport campus on May 3. “We will be doing different styles of nature printing on rice paper and binding them into a nice little book; it will be a By Marion Moir journal with nature prints in it.” Fortner’s other class, “Kelped,” is in Newport on May 11. “I’ve been in love with seaweed all of my life,” she said. “I started working with seaweeds in Hawaii and I think they are one of the most amazing things on the earth. We’ll be pressing
red seaweed to make a card; once they dry they look like a watercolor painting. Then we’ll be making beads and rattles out of kelp. Finally I will be serving some nori soup and kelp pickles. I’ll bring examples of other things you can make with kelp too, since we only have four hours. This is basically a survey of how wonderful seaweeds are.” The final class on the spring schedule is a two-day harvesting workshop, “Celebrating Oregon’s Shellfish,” in Lincoln City on May 2 and 3. The first day will be dedicated to clamming. “I grew up here and spent a lot of time on the beach crabbing and clamming,” said instructor Paul Robertson, who is co-presenting the class with Price. “The first day we will be focusing on purple varnish clams, which I’ve started collecting more recently.” The clams are an introduced species quickly becoming invasive, so Robertson says collecting them has added benefits: “You can get fed and help reduce the population at the same time,” he said. “It’s a win-win.” Clammers should come ready to play in the sand. “We’re going to be going after them on our hands and knees,” Robertson said. “It’s very low tech, not like that fancy razor clam
collecting. You can even bring your sandcastle tools. It’s going to be a low key and very fun class.” It won’t be all fun and games though, as the instructors will also be sharing important beach safety knowledge they have gained over the years. “We will be covering ocean conditions like swells, toxins, and even how to read a tide book,” Robertson said. On day two, Robertson and Price will be showing off their mussels, or at least their knowledge of harvesting them locally. “That’s going to be a fun day too,” Robertson said. “Weather permitting, we’ll cook some up right there on the beach.” Weather not permitting, the guys will at least share information on cleaning and cooking the bivalves that you can use at home. Each semester of the Seatauqua program is different and Price hopes it continues to evolve. “We’ve had tide pool walks in the past” he said, “and a great event about whales that included a presentation by coast watch, and we’ve had some great artists.” “I want to see the program build, but we need people to teach classes,” Price added. “subjects could include coastal issues, ocean literacy, even music. It’s a great way for people to share what they are passionate about.” To find out more about the OCCC Seatauqua series or to register for a class, go to http://www. oregoncoastcc.org/communityed or call 541-9966222.

Newport’s Hatfield Marine Science Center will open its doors to the public on Saturday, April 9, for Marine Science Day, giving guests the chance to visit laboratories behind the scenes, connect with scientists and learn more about emerging oceanographic technologies and current marine research. The free event also features hands-on exhibits and opportunities to talk to scientists from Oregon State University and several federal and state agencies that have operations at the Newport center. Visitors will get to learn about the Ocean Observatories Initiative, which includes high-tech underwater sensors, platforms and robots, recently deployed in the Endurance Array off the coast of Newport. There will also be presentations on the whale and seal research and on aquaculture, featuring facts on oysters as well as a newlydeveloped variety of dulse, a seaweed that when cooked tastes like bacon. Guests can also enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the Visitor Center’s animal husbandry program and a chance to meet the aquarists. At 2:30 pm, oceanographers Bill Peterson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Jack Barth of OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences will give a presentation in the Hennings Auditorium, looking at the past, present and future technologies of ocean observing. “Marine Science Day will highlight the rich history
and emerging technologies around ocean observing,” Barth said. “With a long-standing legacy of off-shore research, OSU is ushering in a new era of oceanography centered around the Endurance Array now in operation off the coast of Oregon. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to learn about the diverse ways scientists observe the ocean.” Visitors can also learn about the progress of OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative, which seeks to host 500 studentsin-residence in Newport by 2025. Fundraising is well under way for the new teaching and research facility in Newport. “Marine Science Day offers a great opportunity to understand why we are so excited about bringing the Marine Studies Initiative here,” said Hatfield Center Director Bob Cowen. “The hands-on experiences for students are remarkable.” Multimedia exhibits will include a new film on the challenges of ocean acidification; undersea exploration of fisheries, volcanoes and marine mammals using video and acoustics; and fascinating images of microscopic plankton by the Plankton Portal program. The free event will run from 10 am to 4 pm at the center, located southeast of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. A public feeding of the octopus Montgomery will take place at 1 pm in the Visitor Center and special activities for children and families will be on offer throughout the day.

Did someone odd-er comedy? Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple — Female Version” Opens Friday, April 8, in Yachats By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY
It’s an odd pairing of lost souls. American playwright Neil Simon’s “Odd Couple — Female Version” hits the Yachats Commons stage this weekend, featuring Olive Madison and Florence Unger in all their dysfunctional glory. Based on the original 1965 script about Oscar and Felix, Simon’s 1985 version flips the coin to showcase their female counterparts. Get ready for the hilarious fallout when two opposing personalities share space under the same roof. One of Us Productions presents some seasoned veterans along with new acting talent under the skilled direction of Johnni Prince, who brings this delightful comedy to life with style and humor. It is the nuances of each character’s dialogue and how the actors interpret Simon’s script which make this show a witty take on lives gone awry. The storyline begins at Olive Madison’s New York apartment, where the girls gather for a routine Saturday night game of Trivial Pursuit. The smoke-filled room is suitable for relentless gossip and a hotly contested competition. Olive’s décor reflects a slovenly solitary lifestyle with spoiled food, pizza boxes and dirty clothes in disarray. As the evening progresses, the friends become worried about the absence of Florence, an obsessive-compulsive organizer who is always punctual. It is soon revealed Florence has been kicked out by husband Sidney, ending their 14-year marriage. Eventually Florence appears, albeit greatly agitated and refusing any comfort offered by her friends. Olive feels sorry for the bewildered Florence and invites her to move in. With her marriage ended, Florence seizes the opportunity to rearrange Olive’s life. By taking on the projects of cooking, cleaning, shopping and organizing, Florence becomes the epitome of high maintenance. The Saturday night gatherings for Trivial Pursuit transform into cocktails, fancy hors d’oeuvres, tasteful table linens, coasters and a noisy air filter. Florence is in charge, admonishing the girls to “eat over the plate, you know I just vacuumed.” The girls become disgusted. Florence seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose by pointing out her own (and other people’s) mistakes. In desperation, Olive decides to arrange a date with the charming Costazuela brothers, telling Florence she is “lonely and needs a date real bad.” The dinner date with Jesus and Manolo
Costazuela occurs in Act II and quickly brings the hilarity to a peak. What begins as polite awkwardness evolves into an emotional crescendo, cleverly fabricated by the playwright, masterfully delivered by the actors. The final scene brings a tasty conclusion for the characters and audience to contemplate. Director Prince says she was “hooked” when introduced to this script and loved the idea of flipping genders on this popular Neil Simon classic. Casting gave Prince an opportunity to bring some new faces to the Yachats stage. “Over 50 percent of the cast are new to this stage and they are wonderful,” she said. “They have worked so hard and really bonded with each other. This shows through in their onstage relationships.” Debbie Coxey portrays Florence with a terrific combination of angst and compulsivity. This is her first major role on the Yachats stage and she gives it her full focus. Lorraine Barret’s last acting role was during her high school years. She tackles the Olive Madison part with great stage presence. “Lorraine was born to play this part,” Prince said. Joining Lorraine in this show are her two children — daughter Hannah Barret, who delivers a snappy, wisecracking, chain-smoking Silvie; and son Zach Barret, who gives a very funny performance as Jesus Costazuela. Jodi Smith portrays Mickey the cop with gutsy charm, Marcie Pickner is delightful as the unshakable Vera, and River Benson captures the essence of Renee. Not to be missed is veteran actor Carl Miller who delivers Manolo Costazuela with panache. Supporting the cast are Stage Manager Janey Catchall and producer Valerie Edmunds along with Robbie Schoonover on costumes, Glen Zimmerman on set design and construction, Dave Cowden on sound and lights, and Jeanie Chinske on props. “The Odd Couple — Female Version” runs from Friday, April 8, until Sunday, April 24, at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N., with performances at 7:30 pm every Friday and Saturday at 2 pm matinées each Sunday. Tickets, $12, are available at Touchstone Gallery, Toad Hall, Ya-Hots Video Country Store, Waldport Video and Crescent Moon Consignment as well as on the door or online at http://tinyurl.com/odd-couple-tickets.

Bob Dylan revisited
It might seem astonishing that he made it out of the ’60s, but musical legend Bob Dylan will turn 75 on May 24. To mark this musical miletone, Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts will host an evening of music by the iconic singer-songwriter this Saturday, April 9. Chicago author and musician Bob Shiel will present his multi-media creation of live music, audience participation and discussion. It will include a rotating slide show of Dylan-related images and one song f rom each Dylan album in
chronological order to demonstrate how his music evolved over the decades. Shiel, a retired English professor, wrote the book “61 Highways Revisited: The Albums of Bob Dylan” and created a twoCD album of Dylan covers, both of which he uses as educational tools to deliver presentations on Dylan’s body of work. They will be on sale at the concert. For more information on Shiel, go to www.BobShiel.com. The Saturday gig will start at 6 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission will be $10 at the door.
No small talent German pianist Andreas Klein will visit the Oregon Coast on Sunday, April 10, to perform the sixth concert in the 2015-2016 season of Neskowin Chamber Music. Klein’s career as an orchestra soloist and recitalist has taken him to some of the world’s most prestigious venues, from London’s Wigmore Hall and Berlin’s Philharmonic Hall to Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in the US. He is also a popular chamber musician, playing with the Salzburg Chamber Soloists in a number of US and foreign cities. Another tour with the Festival Strings of Luzerne took him to 10 cities in the US and Puerto Rico. He tours throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Mexico, and even in such remote places as Damascus and Yerevan, Armenia. Klein’s ability as a pianist has won him praise from the New York Times as a “pianist who makes silences sound like music,” while the Washington Post lauded his “elaborate display of technical prowess.” Klein is a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York and received a PhD in Musical
Oh, baby! Studies from Rice University. Copies of his doctoral dissertation on the Chopin Etudes are housed in the libraries of the Chopin Society in Vienna and Leipzig and can be downloaded from the Rice University Library. Sunday’s concert will begin at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, just off Highway 101,
three miles north of Neskowin. Tickets are $25 on the door. For more information, call 503-965-6400 or go to neskowinchambermusic.org. The public is also invited to attend Klein’s performance at an outreach program at Nestucca Elementary School in Cloverdale on April 11 at 9 am.

ARRANGE TO DROP BY Cape Perpetua artist-inresidence Janet Essley will make her debut this weekend, kicking off a yearlong project aimed at helping visitors connect with nature through her unique form of environmental art. “Making art in nature gives one time to connect with place in unexpected and rewarding ways,” Essley said. “Time slows. One becomes aware of sounds, smells, light, textures, colors, movement and the extraordinary diversity of ordinary things. No two fir cones are alike.” From 10 am to 4 pm on Friday and Saturday, April 8 and 9, Essley will lead groups, families and individuals in the process of creating art using found natural objects, such as sticks, rocks, sand, moss and bark. No live materials will be cut, moved or damaged. Once created, artwork will be left where it was created — to be enjoyed by others and eventually recycled by nature. Photographs will be the only permanent record of the creations, some of which will be displayed at the Visitor Center. “Making art from and within

the natural world affirms the individual’s ability to be a steward of the environment,” Essley said. Essley resides in the Columbia Gorge, but spent 10 years in the Coast Range,

She has 25 years of experience teaching art and leading groups in the creation of murals and other forms of art, both nationally and internationally. The Cape Perpetua artistin-residence program is free to participants, but a Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Passport, federal recreation pass or $5 day-use fee is required within the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area.

What are the odds? Turns out Neil Simon plays are like busses. You wait ages for a production of “The Odd Couple” and then two come along at the same time. But while the folks in Yachats have turned the classic comedy on its head by flipping the genders (see page 20), the Riverbend Players of Nehalem are playing it straight. Director Betsy McMahon presents Brian McMahon as Oscar and Mike Sims as Felix, a pair of roommates both pushing their own neuroses and obsessions out into the world, with a disregard for people around them. Their card-playing buddies add zingers and crazy comedy antics to the production: Michael Sommers as Roy, Mike Scott as Speed, Jeff Slamal as Murray and Michael Dinan as Vinnie. Things get even more interesting with the entrance of the Pigeon sisters: Sedona Torres as Gwendolyn and Sue Jelineo as Cecily — a pair of daft, giggly, good-time girls who lend a sense of lightness to Oscar and Felix’s bickering. The play runs from Saturday, April 16, through Sunday, May 1, with 7 pm performances every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées each Sunday, except Sunday, April 24. Performances take place at the North County Recreation District Theater, 36155 Ninth Street, Nehalem. Tickets are $15 and children 12 and under get in free. For information or advance tickets, call 503368-7008.

The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is looking for actors to fill the roles in “Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike,” which will grace the Tillamook stage this summer. Written by Christopher Durang and directed by Robert Buckingham, the poignant comedy is set in a Pennsylvania farmhouse, where Vanya lives with his adopted sister, Sonia. The siblings tolerate their mediocre middle-aged lives until their movie-star sister, Masha, returns for a surprise visit with her boy-toy, Spike. TAPA is looking for two women in their 50s to play Sonia and Masha, and one man of the same age to play Vanya. For boy-toy Spike, the director needs a man in his 20s who is willing to appear on stage in nothing but underwear. The role of Nina calls for a woman in her 20s, while Cassandra the soothsayer cleaning lady can be of any age. Auditions will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, April 16, and Sunday, April 17, in the Oregon Coast Dance Center, 106 Main Avenue in Tillamook. The show will run from June 24 to July 10. Audition packets are available online at www.tillamooktheater.com, or by contacting Director Robert Buckingham at 503-842-6305.

TEXT-URE FRIENDS AND TELL THEM TO COME Fresh artwork and live demonstrations will be on show when the Artists’ Co-op Gallery in Lincoln City holds a public reception on Friday, April 8. Entitled “Color and Texture,” the reception will feature a beading demonstration by Anja Chavez and a demonstration of the ancient art of encaustic painting from Kay Klose. Encaustic painting employs beeswax and other natural materials to produce layered, sculpted art. Klose has worked with encaustics since 2010, winning several awards for her work. She loves the wax medium for its flexibility and capacity to incorporate other media, including photography, sculpture, painting, found objects and textiles. Klose holds a BFA from the California college of Arts and Crafts has been an artist in multiple mediums for 35 years, displaying her work in galleries and museums. Chavez has been beading since 1991, having learned the technique from a Navajo woman in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born in Germany, she made the Oregon Coast her home in 2001 and enjoys creating colorful works of art. Guests will also get the

These “Jays” offer a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped down, happily old-fashioned, yet unselfconsciously new. A genial blend of story-telling and side-show humor provides the backdrop to their studied performance of original songs, instrumentals and newly-arranged traditional material. Tickets are $21 adv, $23 door, $2 discount for LCCC members.
Oh, my word! Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts is now accepting submissions for Word & Image, a summer exhibit that pairs writers and artists to create original responses to each other’s work. The exhibit will offer up to 12 selected artists and writers the chance to take part in a unique creative experience that co-organizers Deborah DeWit and Emily Ransdell call “silent collaboration.” Last summer’s call for submissions to Word &
Image was so successful that Ransdell and DeWit will be jurying the entries this year via a blind submission process. “By limiting participants to 12 writers and artists, we can make sure we give all the participants the space and time for their work to be represented well,” DeWit said. “And we want the community participation to be as broad and diverse as possible. There is so much talent in our area.” The project is open to all artists and writers who live
on the North Oregon Coast or have a strong connection to the area. Submissions will be accepted from April 1 through May 1. Selected artists and writers will be paired at a kick-off gathering on June 4, with the resulting new work for the exhibit due by July 25. An opening reception and reading will be held at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita on Aug. 20. For more details, go to http://hoffmanblog.org/ word-image.
