This week’s top five

ALL ACROSS THE U.S. — There’s no missing this week’s big event. We’ve been stocking up on ramen and bottled water for weeks, we’ve staked out our spots, bought our eclipse t-shirts and are ready to slip on our glasses and enjoy the show. Ladies and gentlemen, the Great American Eclipse, coming to a sky near you this Monday. See page 16

NEWPORT — I’ll confess that this editor was not aware of the eclipse connection to “Little Shop of Horrors.” Should the fact that the carnivorous Audrey II was born during a total solar eclipse be seen an omen for the Oregon Coast? It certainly puts those Porta-Potty concerns into perspective...

See page 12

LINCOLN CITY — “Come Early, Stay Late” was the advice given to folks traveling to watch the eclipse. And what better way to pass the pre-eclipse weekend than a family-friendly festival with food, music, games and more, all on the lawn of the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Catch the Total Eclipse of the Art this Saturday and Sunday.

See page 26

TILLAMOOK COUNTY — It’s not all looking upward this week on the Oregon Coast. From Pacific City to Manzanita, historical organizations will be encouraging folks to take a peek into the past as well, as A Step Back in Time returns to celebrate an era when everything from lighthouses to steam trains was built to last.

from the editor

TOLEDO — As a longtime member of the US Coast Guard, retired Master Chief Thomas McAdams has been in some perilous predicaments on the high seas. But surely none compare to the teethclenching terror of captaining a cardboard boat across the Depot Slough. See how this seafarer fares and enjoy a weekend of fun at the annual Wooden Boat Show.

PAGES FOR AGES Robert’s Bookshop marks 30 years in Lincoln City

Robert Portwood

love talking books and I consider myself well-read enough to carry on an intelligent conversation about the same. Or, that is, I did until I struck up a conversation with Bob Portwood and found myself with almost nothing to contribute beyond “Wow.” Bob is the owner of Robert’s Bookshop in Lincoln City, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this Labor Day weekend. On that three-day weekend, there will be random drawings, a contest and a 30-percent discount on everything for sale purchased with cash or a check. The story of Robert’s begins on a summer day when Bob was running his own construction business. One day as he was flashing a chimney on a peaked roof, the ladder slipped out from under him, sending Bob on a journey that luckily ended just at the roof ’s edge. He wasn’t hurt, but that memorable slide was an eye opener, indeed — one that suggested it might be wise to find a career that wouldn’t potentially be the death of him. So Bob, a lifelong avid reader, found a decrepit old building neighboring another bookstore and Robert’s Bookshop was born. When his friend and owner of the store next door died, her family sold Bob that building and he combined the two. It makes for quite the deceptively sized place. “It’s about 6,000 to 7,000 square feet,” Bob told me. “We’re guessing there are 200,000 books in the store and that doesn’t count what is in storage.” New customers are often quite surprised at the size, added Emily Portwood, store manager and Bob’s daughter. “People come inside and think it is very small and there is usually that “Oh,” Emily said. “They say they didn’t expect a store this big in a town this small. When I send people to the self-help section, I say it’s in a converted kitchen. Once you are there you know you’re where you’re supposed to be.” Or when Bob guides customers to the military section, he tells them, “It’s a block in that direction.” Later, they return to tell Bob, ‘You’re right, it was about a block.”’

Portwood pictured in the early days of Robert’s Bookshop, with daughters Emily and Diana

In an era when bookstores seem to be closing left and right, an era that sees many readers heading to that cyberspace place Bob refers to only as the “big A,” it does a heart good to see a place like Robert’s thrive. He also owns Bob’s Beach Books, managed by his other daughter, Diana, just a bit up the highway in the Oceanlake neighborhood. Bob has a pretty good idea what makes Robert’s so successful. “It’s a general bookstore,” he said, “and having a general store is a necessity, particularly in a small town.” “We have everything,” added Emily. In this case, “everything” includes sections on history, self-help, foreign language, the Holocaust and original illustration art (paintings used for the cover of books). There are children’s books, military books, books on women’s studies and, particularly Wowworthy, books that are worth a small fortune. “The most expensive one I sold was for $25,000,” Bob said. “It was a one-off, an illustrated book on Northern Africa. It was in French. I bought it with a collection. We have one book that was part of the Jefferson Davis library. There is a nice inscription inside saying how the owner’s brother was a forager for the Union Army and managed to track down where the Confederates were trying to hide the library. It is

one of the earlier anti-slavery books. Jefferson Davis was not necessarily pro-slavery so much as he was pro-Confederacy. I put a price of about $10,000 on it which is probably four times what it is worth because I didn’t want to sell it. I had a fellow bring in a signed Winston Churchill. Another just brought in several first edition H.G. Wells. Those are pretty scarce.” The Churchill and Wells are also not for sale, though Emily notes one day they might be. “Some things we like to hold to for a while because they are just nice to have,” she said. Some books are not super rare, but interesting nonetheless. “I brought in a number of nonfiction military books. One was a history of the Doolittle Raids signed by eight members of the crew.” As memorable as some of the books are, perhaps equally so are the people who have passed through Robert’s. “You meet interesting people in a bookstore,” Bob said. “You never know who you are going to talk to.” Robert’s Bookshop is located at 3412 SW Hwy. 101, in the Neslcott area of Lincoln City. Lori Tobias is the author of the novel “Wander” and a journalist of many years. Follow her at loritobias.com.

Registration is now open for a wide array of classes at the Newport School of Artistic Movement, for students of all levels from three years old to adult. Director Nancy Mittleman has been training dancers from preschool to professional for more than 40 years. The school’s students have gone on to study and perform at Juilliard in New York City, Mark Morris Dance Group, San Francisco Ballet and many more. Originally from New York, Mittleman has performed on both East and West Coasts and studied with such luminaries as Martha Graham, Charles Weidman and Leslie Watanabe. She was a founding member of Newport’s Red Octopus Theater Co and has also worked with various other local companies, including playing the roles of Ophelia in “Hamlet,” Titania in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Helena in “All’s Well That Ends Well.” Her teaching credentials also include more than 17 years teaching movement and theater as an artist-inresidence in Oregon and British Columbia. Mittleman’s classes in contemporary ballet include studies in ballet, modern, jazz and African dance as well as Pilates and Yoga. “Classes are designed to develop the student’s technical skills,” she said, “and spark their creativity through a process of exploration and discovery.” Mittleman is known for her holistic approach to dance, integrating science, art, literature, music, math and much more into her lessons and choreography. “All classes include

improvisations or ‘dance games,’” she said, “which increase students’ awareness of the power of body language, while enriching and developing their creativity, dramatic style and choreographic skills.” Classes also include improvisation exercises to develop students’ problemsolving and leadership skills as well as their ability to work collaboratively. Variations from famous chorographers, partnering, counterbalance

techniques and lifting are also incorporated into the curriculum. The school’s assistant director Erika Sugrue, who has danced for more than 20 years, will be teaching alongside Mittleman for her 12th year this fall. Students registering before August 30 will receive a 10-percent discount on the first month’s tuition. For more information, call 541-961-2316 or email pdedance@msn.com.

Even after 20 years, her passion for beads has not diminished. “There is not a day in my life, where I don’t feel excited that I ‘get’ to bead. It could be in the middle of the night when I have the greatest designs and ideas in my head,” she said. “My passion, desire, and love for beads have shaped my life, and I hope it shows.” The Spotlight Show, which is free and open to all, will run through Friday, Aug. 25, available to view from 11 am to 5 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive.

The latest Spotlight Show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery will feature the photography of Laren Woolley and Sylvia Hosie alongside jewelry from Anja Chavez. Woolley is in love with Oregon and photographing the Oregon Coast and beyond. His photographs tell a story and always seek to find the unique and the surreal. His goal is to produce images that make people linger and enjoy them longer (and of course take one home.) His passion is to continue to produce new and exciting work and each day is a new opportunity. Hosie, a keen equine and travel photographer, will showcase recent works including horse portraits and action shots from a summer photo shoot on a Wyoming ranch as well as landscapes from Yosemite and Rainier National Parks. Growing up in a family of artists, jewelry designer Anja Chavez was always surrounded by crafty materials and encouraged to experiment. After working with watercolors, acrylics, crayons, yarn, fabric and copper enameling, her hands came in contact with beads and she was hooked. As a young adult, Chavez was drawn to long, dangling earrings with many fringes. However, she could not afford to buy any and so she decided to learn how to make them herself.

A PAPER VIEW EVENT See cardboard races and more at Toledo’s wooden boat show

ormally, the only people to be found in Toledo’s Waterfront Park on the Monday after the wooden boat show are good-hearted volunteers scouring the slough for any remnants from the weekend’s madcap cardboard boat races. But this year will likely see boat show visitors linger on for an extra day in the hopes of catching a good view of Monday’s total solar eclipse. Located eight miles inland from Newport, the mill town of Toledo is often spared the coastal fog and normally basks in sunshine for its annual celebration of maritime craftsmanship. The free, family-friendly event features wooden boats from throughout the Pacific Northwest, ranging from kayaks and canoes to work boats and pleasure craft. Guests can try their hand at family boat building or kids’ toy boat building, browse vendor booths and enjoy live music from a full slate of costal musicians. Boat rides will be on offer throughout the day and a Poker Paddle will give guests the chance to win great prizes while exploring the Depot Slough. And few people become as familiar with the slough as the brave contestants in the Georgia Pacific Containerboard Boat Contest, who take to the waters in vessels created from little more than cardboard, duct tape and paint. The contest offers prizes for the best design as well as the fastest and most water-worthy vessel. Those who miss out there could still win big in the Most Spectacular Sinking category. This year, contestants will get to test their skills against Lincoln County’s very own Coast Guard legend, retired Master Chief Thomas D. McAdams, who will take on all comers when the race starts at 1 pm on Saturday. Family boat building projects will also be featured at the show. Local shipwright, Rick Johnson will be leading families in building their very own 12-foot stand up paddle board and Joe Novello will be directing construction of 8-foot prams called elegant punts. These groups build their boats during the show and wrap up on Sunday afternoon by launching their new boats in Depot Slough. Guests are invited to watch the boat

Ladies, a pair of vintage 19-foot teak sloops. At the Kids Toy Boat Building booth, little maritime engineers will find all the materials they need to set their imaginations free and create floating masterpieces with help from the members of the Toledo Foursquare Church. There will also be a putt-putt golf course as well as other kids’ activities, including the much-beloved Potato Cannon Pirate. Silent auctions will be held on Saturday and Sunday, with proceeds supporting production of the Wooden Boat Show. Artisan, vendor and informational booths will be at the show as well as a selection of food vendors. The Toledo Downtown Association will have breakfast available in the morning at the pavilion on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings.

The show will take place at Waterfront Park at 127 NW A Street, running from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, Aug. 19, with live music until 7 pm; and from 10 am to 4pm on Sunday, Aug. 20, with live music until 8 pm, followed by movies.

This year’s Wooden Boat Show poster features Lincoln County Coast Guard veteran Retired Master Chief Thomas D. McAdams. Created by Newport artist Travis Leonard, the illustration is of McAdams standing over images of Coast Guard vessels that he commanded throughout his 27year career. McAdams retired as the officer in charge of the USCG Station at Yaquina Bay in 1977. He was highly decorated and considered a legend in the Coast Guard’s small boat community as well as among the fishermen of the Pacific Northwest. Posters will be available for purchase at the show and can also be purchased at the Port Office, 496 Hwy. 20 NE, Unit 1, Toledo.

Eclipse got you stressed? Find sweet relief at Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop. Story & photos by Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

As the Oregon Coast fills with visitors from across the world, hoping for clear skies to greet Monday’s “Great American Eclipse,” one man is promising eclipse satisfaction whatever the weather. “The first mate and I have been cranking out eclipse cookies,” said Dan Draper of Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop, “black sugar cookies dusted with orange glitter sugar to represent the corona.” Located on a busy corner in Lincoln City’s Taft district, Captain Dan’s offers a safe harbor for all travelers in search of a warm welcome, sweet treats or a restorative cup of coffee. As Kathy Draper works her magic in the kitchen, husband Dan greets customers dressed in a pirate tricorne, with his trusty cutlass never far from hand. Cap’n Dan said the jet-black sugar cookies were the obvious choice to celebrate Monday’s once-in-a lifetime celestial phenomenon. “With these cookies, you see, you could burn them and no-one would know,” he said. With wisdom like that, it’s no surprise that we turn to this brave buccaneer whenever we need guidance on the issues of the day — as in this week’s “Ask a Pirate — Eclipse Edition.” Dear Cap’n Dan, As a globetrotting pirate I imagine you’ve seen lots of eclipses, are there any that were especially memorable? Never Once Seen Eclipse, Yo Dear NOSEY, No, they’ve all left me in the dark. They are too short. I can’t find my bed in two

minutes and there’s not enough time to go out and cause mischief. It’s just like extended blinking. Dear Cap’n Dan, Whenever I think about the sun being blotted out, I get goosebumps all over. Why does the eclipse give me the heebiejeebies? Terrified It Might Invite Doom Dear TIMID, It’s strange, it’s deep in our DNA, when it gets dark we think it’s the end times or something. When it starts to lighten up again it’s the best feeling in the world. Then you cross the street and get hit by a car because everyone’s still looking up into the sky. Dear Cap’n Dan, I’m bamboozled by all the advice on how to prepare for the eclipse. What preparations are you making? Sorry To Unload My Pre-Eclipse Dithering Dear STUMPED I’ve heard you’re not supposed to look directly at it so I’ve dug out my spare eye patch to make sure both eyes are fully protected.

Dear Cap’n Dan, I’ve heard a lot of concern that there won’t be enough toilets to cope with the crowds. Where do you stand on the issue? Feel Like Using Someone’s Henhouse Dear FLUSH, Well the answer here is simple. Wait until the eclipse starts happening and the you’ll have the toilets all to yourself. If you absolutely can’t hold it that long, my only advice would be to find a quiet spot and beware of seagulls, they’ll be in foraging mode. Dear Cap’n Dan, I’m claustrophobic and worried about the crowds. What’s your plan for dealing with all the people? People Anywhere Near, I Collapse Dear PANIC, Nothing clears a path like the sound of a well-oiled cutlass leaving its sheath, particularly if it’s being wielded by a welllubricated pirate on his way back from the pub.

worried I might become deficient during the eclipse. How can I make sure I stay safe? Peril Awaits Lilly-white Epidermis Dear PALE, I would recommend removing all your clothes before the eclipse to make sure you get enough sunlight to tide you over. Make sure to put them back on again when it gets dark, though. You don’t want to get moon-burn where the sun don’t shine. Dear Cap’n Dan, I’m traveling to the coast with my husband and eight children to see the eclipse. It’s so hard to keep track of them even in broad daylight. What do I do if I lose my child during totality? Stressed Chasing All These Tiny Youngsters Dear SCATTY, Just be sure to include them in your will. They’ll be bound to turn up at the end. Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop is located at 5070 SE Hwy. 101 in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Opening hours are from 8:30 am to 3 pm every day except Tuesday.

SOME TASTEFUL THEATER “Little Shop of Horrors” opens this Friday in Newport By Barbara B. Covell

For the TODAY

magine this. A sweet story about young love, hope, ambition and the aching desire to achieve one’s greatest dreams. Add to this formula a hearty musical featuring 1960s-style rock and roll vocals, toe-tapping dance numbers, puppetry and a robust set to capture the eye. Yet all is not as it seems in this darkly popular Faustian sci-fi comedy, a favorite of musical theater lovers for more than 30 years. Newport’s Red Octopus Theatre Company is well known for edgy scripts, superior sets, technical expertise and the highest caliber of actors on the Central Oregon Coast. This production will meet their standards and raise the bar to a new level. Melissa MacDonald, director and Red Octopus board member, grew up with multiple musical influences, as her father was a traveling musician who gravitated to the styles of Chubby Checker, Elvis, Motown and just about everything ’50s and ’60s. “I wanted to direct this show because of the music, combined with the fun of a dark comedy, were simply a winning combination,” she said. “The music makes this show! There is more music than dialogue, so the story is told through song, orchestration, dance and the phenomenal set.” If you are unfamiliar with this show, here’s the takeaway. The play opens on a flower shop struggling to survive in the poor side of town known as Skid Row. A self-serving owner, Mr. Mushnik, pretends to care about his two employees, Seymour, an orphan, and Audrey, a pretty blonde whom Seymour secretly loves. But Audrey already has a boyfriend, Orin, who is an abusive, sadistic dentist who enjoys hurting people. One day, Seymour visits the wholesale flower district and discovers a mysterious plant that appears after a total eclipse of the sun. He names this mysterious plant Audrey II, in honor of the woman he loves. Seymour discovers the secret food which Audrey II needs to grow. As the plant dramatically changes size, the flower shop becomes a popular business and revenue flows. Only Seymour knows the terrible secret of Audrey II’s carnivorous tastes and gradually

people begin to disappear. Audrey II promises Seymour fame and fortune, but becomes bigger and meaner with each passing day. A surprise ending will thrill audiences. MacDonald said the juxtaposition of music and dancing with the dark storyline is a telling theme. “I think everyone has a light and dark side,” she said. “This show captures the influence of fame and fortune and how quickly it can change you. I want people to see that you can stay true to yourself and your beliefs, without giving into the negative influences of the world.” A stellar cast has been rehearsing for two and a half months. “Every actor in this production is a lead,” MacDonald said. “Every single actor; they are strong and talented people.” Justin Atkins portrays the meek Seymour, transforming into a man with hope for his future. Atkins is phenomenal, clearly defining all sides of Seymour’s motivations. Caity Showalter is the lovely Audrey, the object of Seymour’s affections. Showalter plays Audrey with innocence and spirited charm; a powerless victim, yet strong

when declaring her love for Seymour. Cody Larson is Mr. Mushnik, the irascible owner of the flower shop. Larson’s immense talent once again shows he is capable of tackling any characterization. Nathan Bush returns to the PAC stage as the evil dentist Orin, nailing the nasty underbelly of an abuser. Throughout the show, a trio of “street urchins” set the dynamics in each scene and comment on the action with song, dance and crackerjack choreography. Played by Darcy Hogan, Karlia Bertness and Gidget Manucci Ashley, they are the thread that keeps the up-tempo pacing in this rapid-fire musical. This is a trio of powerhouse vocalists. Audrey II evolves four times in physical size, requiring three actors to work within for her commanding presence. Henry Gross, Kylie MacDonald and Kenna Bertness blend their skills to master the horror of Audrey II’s evolution. Noah Reed is the puppeteer whose talents bring her to life. And Kyle Bertness portrays the voice of Audrey II. His rich, commanding baritone projects her great powers. Parents be warned, there is the occasional use of

colorful language. The musical director is Howard Lackey, who has assembled a pit orchestra of Lincoln County’s finest musicians. Darcy Hogan and Melissa MacDonald teamed to produce the rhythmic, finger-snapping choreography in each number. MacDonald and Josh Lawrence designed the set, with Lawrence as the mastermind of the Audrey II transformations. Mandy Carter is stage manager and Elizabeth Hoover is the costume mistress. “Little Shop of Horrors” opens on Friday, Aug. 18, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 3, at 777 W Olive Street. Performances take place at 7 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 pm every Sunday. Tickets $18 for adults or $16 for seniors and students, are available at the box office, by calling 541-265-ARTS or online at www.coastarts.org.

HERE COMES THE S N Watching the eclipse is child’s play when you know how

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander

F  TODAY

s a professional astronomer Sifan Kahale is used to deploying multimillion dollar telescopes to study celestial happenings with pinpoint accuracy. Her advice for people hoping to view the Monday, Aug. 21, total solar eclipse is simple — put the camera phone down. “By the time it’s over, it will feel like two seconds,” she said. “If you are looking at your phone trying to take a selfie, it’s going to be gone.” “To get photos of any of this you need to be both an amateur astronomer and a good photographer, she added. “If you are not, put everything down and just enjoy the moment.” Kahale knows whereof she speaks, having spent more than nine years pondering the heavens in her role as an observer and software engineer with Pan STARRS — the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System located at Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii. A project of the University of Hawaii, the telescope is aimed at detecting Near Earth Objects — aka: killer asteroids. But on Monday, Aug. 21, Kahale will turn her eyes skyward for a more lighthearted reason, joining the millions across the nation hoping for a good view of “The Great American Eclipse.” The Aug. 21 eclipse will make landfall at Government Point just north of Depoe Bay, before cutting a swath across the continental US, giving it the potential to become the mostviewed total solar eclipse ever. “If you are in the US, you have the chance to be able to witness this,” Kahale said. “From that standpoint, it’s a big, big thing.” Despite a career spent scouring the skies, this will only be Kahale’s second total solar eclipse, the first being the 1954 event that swept across a number of states, including Wisconsin, where she and her family were staying in a rented cabin. “I remember making a pinhole camera,” she said. “All the adults were fascinated. It helped pass the time while waiting for totality to hit.” If skies are clear on the morning of Aug. 21, eclipse watchers within the path of totality should see almost two full minutes of darkness as the moon completely covers the sun.

If you watch The total solar eclipse will begin at 9:04 am on Monday, Aug. 21, with the moon completely covering the sun at 10:15 am. Kahale recommends www.countdowntoeclipse.net, a site maintained by local astronomer Kay Wyatt, as a resource for tools to help find the perfect spot as well as activities to entertain kids for the two-and-half-hour event.

Assistant editor Quinn gets ready for the big day

And for anyone thinking “So what? It gets dark every night,” Kahale has a checklist of celestial phenomena that only appear during an eclipse. See how many you can spot.

• Diamond Ring — Often seen just before the moon completely covers the sun and just after; a semicircular circular band of light topped with a jewel-like beacon.

• Sharpening shadows — As the moon moves in front of the sun, the source of the remaining sunlight narrows, leading to sharper, deeper shadows; as if someone turned up the contrast on a TV.

• Bailey’s Beads — Keep your eyes peeled in the moments immediately before and after the moon completely covers the sun. You might just catch a glimpse of this fleeting effect, caused by the sun’s rays streaming through valleys on the moon’s surface.

• Shadow Bands — At around the same time, keep an eye on the ground for wavy shadows that some observers have compared to hundreds of snakes. Kahale said the current scientific thinking is that these shadows are the result of waves in the upper atmosphere being exposed to the more direct light from the crescent sun.

• The Corona — Once the sun is completely covered, viewers should be able to see the solar outer atmosphere, normally rendered invisible by the sun’s brilliance. The pearly white corona extends out three times the diameter of the sun.

Kahale said eclipse watchers should also look out for a pinhole camera effect caused when light from the crescent sun passes through gaps in foliage, displaying an image of the eclipse on the ground. “You can do the same by crisscrossing your fingers,” she said. Animals and birds will get quiet as the eclipse progresses, she said; the temperature will drop, possibly causing a breeze. Then, of course, the stars will come out in the middle of the day. “There is a strange feeling that comes over you,” she said. “It feels almost electrical. The hairs on your arms stand up.” So, to the big question: What if it’s cloudy? Kahale said that even if the day is overcast, eclipse watchers will still get to experience some of the effects — the drop in temperature, the breeze, animals behaving differently, that ‘electric’ feeling. She cautions against taking to the road in search of better conditions on the morning of the eclipse. “Don’t go chasing it down Highway 18,” she said. “It will be a parking lot.” Instead, she said, pick a spot in advance; preferably somewhere that doesn’t require driving and be sure to wear eclipse viewing glasses whenever the sun’s light is visible. “Just be present and notice yourself and your surroundings,” she said. “Not just what’s happening above your head, but everything around you as well.”

Tillamook County celebrate history with A Step Back in Time By Ann Powers

For the TODAY

f you’ve ever yearned for the days of yore, or just want to learn more about them, don’t miss Tillamook Coast History Alliance’s annual blast from the past, A Step Back in Time, running from Friday, Aug. 18, through Sunday, Aug. 20. The three-day history hop offers wannabe time-travelers entry to all of the alliance’s member museums and the Old Iron Show for a one-price ticket of $20 for guests aged 12 and over. Children under 11 get in free. The ticket is also good for round-trip passage on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad between Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach, with a surcharge of $3 for kids aged 3 to 11. Each of the museums will offer special events, tours, exhibits and much more focused on yesteryear. For example, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum invites visitors to frolic through fashion history, featuring period clothing from 1800 to 1912, in addition to children’s activities. “It’s an opportunity to enjoy history and what came before us,” said the museum’s Ruby Fry-Matson. “And how we can improve on that in the future or go back to that.” Or, go back and meet a few friendly ghosts — like the Cape Meares Lighthouse keeper, who will escort folks on a tour of the historical structure and demonstrate his typical duties from 100-plus years ago. Built in 1889, Cape Meares served as the light station for Tillamook Bay. When it was constructed, the lighthouse complex included two keeper’s houses, two oil houses, two cisterns and was connected to the light by a 1,000-foot boardwalk. “Living history tours like this are important to help provide people with a sense of place,” said Travis Korbe, an interpretive ranger who

will be “channeling” the lighthouse keeper’s spirit. “The chance for people to not only sightsee, but to get a chance to step back in time is rare. Living history interpretation helps to connect people to our past, highlighting how much has changed over time, but more importantly I feel showing people how many similarities we have with generations that have come before.” From there, participants can journey through the Tillamook Forest Center to learn about the Tillamook State Forest, which rose from the ashes of the Tillamook Burn, a rash of forest fires starting in 1933. The woodland was replanted from 1949 to 1973 in the largest reforestation project of its kind. On July 18, 1973, Oregon Governor Tom McCall officially designated it a state forest. “Recreating a story from the past gives people a personal connection to it,” said Oregon State Park Manager Kirk Barham And fabric fans will want to make a connection with Tillamook’s Latimer Quilt and Textile Center — where they can try their hand at rug hooking, weaving, bed turning, knitting, embroidery and other traditional textile arts. Twenty-five years ago, what is now the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center was an abandoned 1880s schoolhouse with

blackberries growing through the floors and birds flying through holes in the ceiling. Today, the former Maple Leaf School is a nonprofit and unique gathering place for fiber and textile artisans sharing their passion for all things handcrafted. “Seeing how it was done puts a whole new perspective on things and establishes respect for what we have now,” said Kim Schauss, Latimer’s associate manager. “The Step Back in Time is a fun event for the whole family.” Meanwhile, the Tillamook Air Museum will showcase its impressive array of historical planes including an Aero Spacelines Mini Guppy, Grumman F-14A Tomcat, Douglas A-26C Invader, Cessna 180F Skywagon and more. The museum is housed in a former US Navy blimp hangar, called “Hangar B.” According to museum officials, it’s the largest clear-span wooden structure worldwide. The Air Museum also features an exhibit hall with a vast collection of rare historical wartime and aviation artifacts including pieces of the doomed Hindenburg airship, a World War II Luftwaffe flight jacket and a Japanese Army Winter flight suit from the same era. “Education is power and knowledge,” said museum director Phyllis Rice. “So, everything you can learn through the museums is

important and will be gone someday.” But before that someday comes, people can still visit yesterday — courtesy of A Step Back in Time. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.com or at the Garibaldi Maritime Museum, located at 112 Garibaldi Avenue, and Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, 2106 2nd Street in Tillamook. For more information, call the Pioneer Museum at 503-842-4553 or go to the Tillamook Coast History Alliance’s website at tchistoryalliance.org.

CRASH THE PARTY Lincoln County Fair offers free-for-all fun in Newport By Angela Nebel For the TODAY

rtistry, agriculture and adrenaline will come together this weekend as the Lincoln County Fair puts on a show that won’t be eclipsed by … well … the eclipse. The three-day event has all the hallmarks of a great county fair, including “fair food” and fun for every age group. What makes it unlike most fairs is that, since 2015, general admission to the Lincoln County Fair has been free. It was 2015 when Oregon State University Extension took over managing the fair on behalf of the Fair Board. Michele Osterhoudt, a 4-H youth development educator at OSU Extension, works alongside 4-H Program Coordinator Todd Williver to coordinate fair activities. “We have had good success so far,” Osterhoudt said. “It is the people’s fair and as long as we’re running it, there will be no fee to attend. We are focused on celebrating our county and we are continuing to expand and adapt.” Artistry takes on many forms at this year’s event but none more flamboyant than when a tribute to the Grand Ole Opry takes the stage. You know it’s going to be a great show when “Johnny Cash” is hosting the affair and promises the sounds of Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and more. Fair fans might remember Jimmy Ray and Cyndi Cantrell’s Johnny Cash tribute a few years ago. This year, they are bringing

a tour bus full of friends for a whole new show featuring country classics. Osterhoudt said people may be surprised to find “Johnny Cash” at other points during the fair. “Prior to his first concert on Friday afternoon, we have heard that Johnny Cash may be wandering around the Lincoln County Commons,” she said. At almost any time on Saturday and Sunday, some kind of musical or artistic talents will be found on the main stage. A line-up of local bands will pause for the occasional magic show or drumming exhibition. Those who associate a county fair with livestock barns and 4-H auctions will find plenty to love, as the usual agricultural connection is found. Youth programming was really the impetus for OSU Extension’s involvement in the fair two years ago. Livestock will be the center of attention at a show outside the barn at 10 am on Friday. On Saturday at 4 pm, the livestock auction will begin and prime cows, pigs and sheep will be up for bid. Throughout the fair, those animals plus rabbits, chickens and more will be on display in the livestock barn. So where is the adrenaline found at the Lincoln County Fair? How about behind the wheel of a Monster Truck as it crushes the competition in one of two Monster Truck Thunder shows? This traveling show promises “ground-pounding Monster Trucks flying 30 feet in the air.” There will also be mud races, quad races and Monster Truck rides for the kids. Monster Truck Thunder is the only fair event that charges admission at $15 for adults,

$10 for children five and older, and free entry for the four and younger crowd. Tickets can be purchased online or at the show. Osterhoudt said one of OSU Extension’s goals when they took over the fair was to make the event more representative of the community. Guests will be able to hear presentations on beach fossils, enjoy a free craft beer-tasting event and enjoy the creative works of area residents in the open class exhibits. Those

exhibits can feature anything from canned goods, baked items, photography, quilts and a long list of other categories. The jam-packed schedule of events includes some things that are intended for specific age groups. On Friday, from 11 am to 5 pm, the Senior Health Fair will be held in the Main Exhibit Hall and include a number of health screenings. At noon that same day, a senior barbecue will be on offer. At the opposite end of the

age spectrum, wee ones will find hours of entertainment in the bouncy houses. And the young and the young-at-heart will be fascinated by the Exotic/ Unusual Animal Show, where llamas, lizards and lots more will be on display all three days. Although the fair officially ends at 7 pm on Sunday, this annual event isn’t immune from eclipse fever. On Monday, Aug. 21, the Lincoln County

Commons will be open for viewing of the total solar eclipse. Gates open at 8 am and totality, when the moon completely covers the sun, will occur at 10:15 am to the sounds of live music. Some fair food vendors are expected be on hand and educational activities and eclipse glasses will all be available. For a complete schedule, go to thelincolncountyfair.com.

at the fair this year,” he said. “The unique combination of the melodic Native American flutes and the didgeridoo with the dynamic traditional drums is a feast for the ears.” Thioub, who lives in Newport, grew up in family of Master Drummers and Griots (tribal storytellers) in Senegal and performs throughout Oregon as a West African dancer and choreographer as well as drummer. Mortensen, formerly of Newport, is wellknown throughout the Pacific Northwest as a master of the didgeridoo, an instrument that is enjoying a resurgence of popularity.

And on Monday, Aug. 21, music lovers can start their the day with coffee, classic rock and the chance to view a once-in-a-lifetime celestial phenomenon as viewers gather at the fairgrounds to witness the total solar eclipse. Starting at 8 am, the Unplugged duo of Steve Mason and Bruce Moore will be setting the mood with “Songs from the Dark Side,” a variety of Pink Floyd selections. Admission to the Lincoln County Fair and all live music performances is free.
