This week’s top five

LINCOLN CITY — The rules for Californians who want to move to Oregon are very simple.

1) Do not move to the Oregon Coast and then complain about the weather. 2) If possible, bring with you an impressive collection of artwork. This Friday will offer the chance to meet five people who have taken that second rule very seriously, as the Freed Gallery hosts a celebration of art from the Golden State. See page 16

from the editor

TILLAMOOK — The vintage Model Ts are oiled and ready, but for goodness sake don’t oil the pigs. The Pig N Ford Races are tricky enough as it is, without the prospect of a glistening porker sailing into the stands.

See page 12

DEPOE BAY — For anyone fearing that society will fall apart when the eclipse arrives later this month,

spare a thought for the outright lawlessness on show this Saturday, as the Pirate Treasure hunt returns for another year of marauding mayhem.

See page 8

NEWPORT — Wasting your time on beer pong won’t get you anywhere, they said. Get back to your studies, they said. Well, they reckoned without the Amazing Race in Newport, where silly skills of all descriptions

will take teams to glory this Saturday.

NEHALEM — When it comes to safeguarding the coastal environment, sometimes it seems like the beaver is the only animal that gives a dam. Learn more about these cuddly conservationists as the “Beaver Tales” art exhibit comes to town.

Add ice and mineral water, to taste. Pour the sangria over glasses of ice, top each glass with a little more mineral water if desired; garnish with sliced fruit, cherries, and mint sprigs.

If you’re going to spend three hours looking at someone’s face in a vastly larger-than-life format, it might as well be the face of suspiciously handsome British actor Jude Law. Law’s easy-on-the-eye features will grace the big screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center this Friday, Aug. 4, as the National Theatre presents its new production of “Obsession,” broadcast live from the Barbican Theatre in London. Law stars as Gino, a downat-heel but magnetically handsome drifter. At a roadside restaurant, he encounters husband and wife, Giuseppe and Giovanna. Irresistibly attracted to each other, Gino and Giovanna begin a fiery affair and plot to murder her husband. But, in this chilling tale of passion and destruction, the crime only serves to tear them apart. Ivo van Hove directs this new stage adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s 1943 film. National Theatre Live is an initiative by the UK’s National Theatre to broadcast live performances onto cinema screens around the world. Since its first season in June

Some Arrrr-rated entertainment Swashbuckling sleuths will descend on Depoe Bay this Saturday, Aug. 5, as the annual Pirate Treasure Hunt serves up a marauding mystery for crews to unravel. Working in teams of four, with pirate costumes strongly encouraged, participants will complete carnival-type games and test their problem-solving skills to unearth clues that lead to treasure chests packed with booty. Starting at the sea wall, crews will make their way through downtown Depoe Bay, interacting with costumed pirate actors as they go. Team captains will be issued the all-important rules and booty bag beginning at 8:30 am at Pirate Coffee Company, located at 10 Vista Street at the north end of town. Group and team photos will be taken at the Whale Watch Center at 9:30 am sharp. Historical re-enactment group The King’s Navy will be on hand to start the hunt with a canon blast at 10 am. The event will conclude

with silent and live auctions, snacks, pastries, finger food and non-alcoholic beverages at the Depoe Bay Community Hall on Bay Street. Teams will be awarded real treasure chests full of booty worth $20 to $100. Registration is $40 for

a team of four. Teams can sign up online at www. treasuredepoebay.org or at Pirate Coffee Company right up until 9 am on the day of the event. All proceeds from the event will go to the Depoe Bay Food Pantry.

A little roots music Beets will meet beats this Wednesday, Aug. 9, in Newport as the Thunder & Lightness Ensemble provides the soundtrack to harvest time at the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Community Garden.

The musicians and guests will celebrate the harvest with centuries-old multicultural traditional and indigenous harvest songs on hand drums and Native American flutes. The event is part of Lincoln County Master Gardeners Week. The garden,

tended Newport school children under the tutelage of the master gardeners, provides fresh food for Lincoln County Food Share.

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y L O R I T O B I A S

A Wander-full evening I arrived in Seattle at the writers’ conference on a Friday morning with plans to attend an autograph party that night and the awards dinner Saturday night. My novel, “Wander,” was a finalist for the Nancy Pearl Book Award in the mainstream literary category and it seemed I couldn’t not attend — though I really did consider it. I didn’t expect to win, which made the expense, the hours in traffic, the requisite nagging of the hubs about his driving, seem wholly unnecessary. On the other hand, if I did win… And when else in my life was anyone going to invite me — ME — to an autograph party, which I envisioned as an intimate affair in which I might rub shoulders with some of the touted bestselling authors. At the registration desk, I introduced myself. Typically, there are name tags and other bits and pieces to collect at these events. The young man behind the table referred me to a woman standing off to the side. “I’m Lori Tobias,” I said. “I’m here for the autograph party and awards dinner.” “I can’t talk to you now,” she said, barely glancing up. “I have to moderate an event. Sorry, I gotta go.”

And off she went. I had just driven all the way from Newport, got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic that added an hour of travel just between Woodburn and Vancouver alone, followed, of course, by the nerverattling jammed up mess that is Seattle and this is was the thanks I got? As I considered the welcome I’d just experienced, I realized that clearly I had not won as she didn’t even recognize my name. That evening, I attended the autograph party in a conference-sized room packed with scores of authors each staking out their foot of real estate. I sold and signed one book, and by 10 pm was readying for bed. On Saturday night, they ushered the finalists to the head of the dinner line. I took a table close to the front of the room, missing out on the tables reserved for finalists — which was just as well. I was, as my niece once observed, a hot mess. If I lost, I knew I’d be disappointed, despite my Pollyannaish insistence (borrowed from the hubs) that as a finalist I was already a winner; if I won, I feared I’d make a fool of myself. You know, burst into tears; trip and fall on the way to the stage. “If I disappear to the bathroom,” I told the hubs, “and don’t come back, I’ll be in the room.” “I’ll get you a glass of wine,” he said. An hour later, I was sipping my second glass, waiting as the winners for 12 other categories were called. Finally, it was time for the Nancy Pearl awards. There was a pause and then there was my face on the big screen, my name echoing through the room. I kissed the hubs, hugged another finalist and made my way to the stage, reminding myself to stand up straight, suck in my gut and smile. Just smile. Moments later, as I walked from the ballroom bound for the obligatory interview, the woman who’d rushed off when I introduced myself at the registration desk stopped me. “I am so sorry I couldn’t talk yesterday,” she said. “I was so excited for you and I knew if I talked to you for even one second, I’d give it away and so I had to get out of there.” Of course, I could laugh then. After the interview, there was a private party for the winners, and then another private, private penthouse suite party. There, I found myself seated

The author relfecting on success with a quick photo

next to a familiar looking man who I would soon learn was a very well-known agent whose advice I’d been reading for years. We struck up a conversation. Surprisingly, I found myself oddly confident, full of myself, even, something I attributed to winning, and the relief of the whole thing being over. I was so witty and charming – or so I imagined — he even asked to see two books I have in the works. Sunday, driving home, I recounted (yet again) my feelings about the night before: the excitement; the interview; the conversation with the very famous agent. “And you know,” I said, “I wasn’t even concerned about the wine because I’d only had those two glasses over a couple of hours.

My wife and I were there on lamb special night. We both ordered lamb dishes, and we were utterly blown away at the how good the dishes tasted. The sauce, potatoes, vegetables, and lamb blended to make perfect dishes. The wine selection complimented the food perfectly.

CATCH A CASE OF

SWINE FLEW AT THE TILLAMOOK COUNTY FAIR By Ann Powers

F  TODAY

lassic cars and pork. What could be better? Well, if the test of time holds true — not much. The Pig-N-Ford Races have been a highly-anticipated event at the Tillamook County Fair since 1925. Locals say it all got started when a couple of farmers were transporting some pigs and one got loose. They chased down the renegade swine in their Model Ts, and had such a good time, they decided it should be an event at the next county fair. Almost a century later, this motorsport madness continues. Pig-N-Ford competitors still crank up stripped Model T Fords and cart select swine (riding shotgun) on a wild ride as hundreds of fair-goers cheer on. It goes something like this: • Five cars line up at the start line of the Averill Arena horseracing track; • When the starter pistol fires, participants grab a live 20-pound pig from a bin, hand-crank their car and drive it one lap; • Racers then stop, kill the engine, get a different pig and forge on with another lap; • The first driver to complete three laps — without losing their boar-ish sidekick — wins! It’s no easy task, noted Bob Wassmer, Jr., a five-time Pig-N-Ford champion. “It’s about being focused and running the race you want to run,” he said. “There’s so many things that could go wrong.” Like handling squealing, squirming livestock and finding the right vintage vehicle to escort them in. Model Ts ceased production in 1927 and are rare to come by these days. Hence, the motorcars are as antiquated as the race itself. They are often passed down through generations of competing families, or sold only to close friends. Longtime participants say some of the vehicles that first ran in 1925 are still on the track today. In addition, race rules require the Ts to have all the original components, except one. The only variation permitted is a

fourth pedal — to serve as a throttle. In a stock Model T, the throttle is mounted on the steering wheel column. However, racers contend that when a driver’s arm is tasked with keeping a hurried hog in place, it’s physically impossible to use a throttle secured to the steering wheel. And then there’s the risk of whisking barnyard animals around a racetrack. Despite the Model Ts reaching speeds of up to 40 mph, event officials said most accidents happen during the pig-pit stops. Broken bones are not unusual. The long-running event boasts some diehard fans. Drivers belong to the Tillamook County Model T Pig-N-Ford Association and membership is often a lifelong affair and family tradition. Wassmer Jr.’s family has been competing since 1952, when his dad, Bob Wassmer Sr., entered his first race. Last year, McKenzi Wassmer (son and grandson, respectively), age 19, made his debut heat. “He had lots of fun and that’s the main thing,” said Wassmer, Jr. “For me, it was growing up around it and it’s exciting to see it carry on. McKenzi was smiling from ear to ear.” The Walker family is another testament to Pig-N-Ford passion. Dean Walker, of Tillamook, won his first race in 1959 and went on to earn seven more — wrapping up his victory streak with the world championship in 1968. His son, Marty Walker, won his first Pig-N-Ford competition in 1996, before Dean passed away. Marty went on to score 13 more world titles, including the 2016 top finish. His son Dillon brought home his first trophy last year, at the age of 16. “It’s fun and competitive,” said Marty. “And a family tradition passed on from generation to generation.” The Pig-N-Ford races will take place during the Tillamook County Fair, which runs August 9 to 12, at the fairgrounds, 4603 3rd Street, Tillamook. The heats get underway at 5:30 pm each night. Warm-up races kick off the competition on Wednesday, Aug. 9, with the championships wrapping up the annual event on Saturday, Aug. 12.

Southern California artists light up Lincoln City’s Freed Gallery By Rebecca Stone

F  TODAY

t’s hard to miss as you approach Lincoln City from the south. The Freed Gallery’s surrounding landscape, dotted with Lyman Whitaker’s mesmerizing, swirling wind sculptures, really put on a show. But what’s inside the Freed will certainly take your breath away. The work of 100 resident artists — many from the Pacific Northwest — which ranges from jewelry and painting to sculpture and furniture, grace its interior real estate. “We have everything,” says gallery owner Lee Freed matter-of-factly. But starting this weekend, the gallery’s cadre of artists will swell for the month of August. Five artists from Southern California, will comprise a show entitled, “Californians…. Here They Come!” It’s a lighthearted jab at the sense of invasion some Oregonians have at times felt at the hands of their southerly neighbors. But when it comes to this particular type of invasion, who could feel anything but delight? Gallery visitors will be treated to a range of work from the California artists such as Russell Jacques, an internationally recognized metal sculptor and painter, who splits his time between Newport Beach, California and the Oregon Coast. Working with materials that include oil, acrylic, ink, pencil, charcoal and crayon, Jacques says he often achieves unexpected but positive results, and believes that “mistake making” is the key to originality. “My daily routine is like a dandelion in a windy field,” he said. “My creative spores can go in any direction at any time — I just follow my thoughts and start something.” For former commercial photographer Don Saxton, artistic vision is expressed through the lens of a camera. “My studio is anywhere I find the right light

for the subject,” he said. But, he adds that the final creation of the image happens in his California office, where he collaborates with professional printers to commit his abstract images, via heat transfer, to mediums such as specially coated aluminum. “I often refer to the process as an infused metal print because it’s not a print that is mounted onto the surface, but actually transferred into the metal’s surface,” he said, adding that the result is a hard, scratch-resistant, waterproof surface with ultra-high color definition. Charlie Lieberman’s love of photography led him to Hollywood, where he became an award-winning cinematographer and a director of photography for television and film. But his love of still photography never left him. His haunting images are layered with mood, and many of his recent photos depict scenery that will be recognizable to locals. “I’m trying to bring attention to moments where the place, the weather and the details align, seemingly by magic,” he said. “Sometimes it’s about nature, pure and raw, and sometimes it’s about man’s place in this world.” Palm Desert-based artist Marcy Gregory has enjoyed finding things to make sculptures for 25 years. In fact, her assemblage art can leave you with a desire to see what she will come up with next from her stockpile of wood pieces, cardboard and Styrofoam. She notes that her pieces typically begin with a scrap in her studio that catches her eye, but that her pieces “take form over a few months until a pleasing composition emerges, which is lyrical and that encourages the eye to roam over the piece in its entirety.” She then lives with the piece for a few weeks to determine that it is truly finished. Also of Palm Desert, painter and sculptor Ryan Campbell has been known for his vibrant street art that adorns walls throughout the

cityscape of Southern California. But more recently, he is gaining traction in the art world for his hard-edge style, geometric abstractions manifested in bold lines, lights and darks, and color, created with markers, stencils and air-propelled paints. It’s a body of work he calls “Line Segments,” which also inhabits his sculptures. He says he draws inspiration from cast shadows and brilliant graffiti colors. The show, which will open on Saturday, Aug. 5, with a reception from 2 to 5 pm, came together, according to Freed, via a string of acquaintances in Southern California. “Originally, Russell knew Ryan, and Ryan knew Don, and Don knew Marcy,” she said. “And Charlie got to know them through me. I was down there for a long time, so I got to spend time with them, and we all became friends.” A Chicago native, Freed moved to the Oregon Coast 21 years ago, opening the gallery out of a passion for the arts and with an eye toward supporting them in the schools as well as the community. Freed predicts a high level of interest for the California show. And why not? If you crave a taste of Southern California, instead of a twoday slog down the I-5, you can get your fix for the art of the Golden State right here on the Oregon Coast.

Tough talk, in Manzanita Manzanita’s Art of Aging series will continue on Tuesday, Aug. 8, with a presentation from Carolyn Wood, author of “Tough Girl: An Olympian’s Journey.” In a talk entitled “Aging Adventures: Overcoming Obstacles,” Wood will read from her book, share thoughts about aging, and give participants a short writing prompt to write down their own dreams of activities or trips they still want to pursue. Wood grew up in southwest Portland and attended Beaverton High School. In the summer of her freshman year she won a gold medal in swimming at the 1960 summer Olympics in Rome. She raced nationally and internationally for three more years before attending the University of Oregon.

Her other life experiences include working as governess for the Robert Kennedy family the year after the senator’s murder, backpacking throughout the Oregon and Washington Cascades, exploring Europe, Africa, India and Asia, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking in the Himalayas and Alps and walking a thousand miles across France and Spain on the Camino de Santiago. These days, her explorations include yoga and meditation as well as gardening and bee keeping. Wood’s talk will run from 3 to 5 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $5. For more information, go to www.hoffmanblog.org or email Tela Skinner at telaskinner@gmail.com.

A STAR TURN Retired astronomer, NASA contractor and university professor Karen Heere will present tips for viewing the upcoming total solar eclipse at a Sunday, Aug. 13, talk in Yachats. Heere, who now volunteers at the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, will cover the basics of what causes a total eclipse as well as giving some history on eclipse watching through the ages.

Turning to the Aug. 21 event, she will offer tips in when and where to watch the eclipse, what to expect and how to ensure eye safety when looking at the sun. The presentation, sponsored by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences, will start at 2 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. Admission is free but a $5 donation is suggested.

SCOPE OUT SOME ECLIPSE TIPS Tips on safe viewing of the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse will be on offer this Saturday, Aug. 5, in a free presentation at Newport Public Library. Kay Wyatt, a retired seismologist and amateur astronomer, has her own observatory north of Lincoln City, where she spends each summer watching and photographing stars and planets. She has been

preparing for the 2017 solar eclipse since moving to Lincoln County in 2002, and is an enthusiastic, entertaining and educational speaker about the joys of astronomy. Wyatt’s presentation will start at 10 am at the library, 35 NW Nye Street. In addition to Wyatt’s talk, the library is scheduled to host solar-, lunar- and Eclipse-themed preschool

story times at 1 pm every Friday throughout August. Hands-on activities will include making “Solar Cookies” and learning to use sun-sensitive paper for printmaking. For a full schedule of events, go to www. newportlibrary.org or contact the library at 541-265-2153. Newport Public Library has joined the STAR Library Education Network and

its NASA@ My Library initiative, which are providing resources and STEM activities to libraries across the nation related to the eclipse. Thanks to the generosity of the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Google, and National Science Foundation, the library will be distributing 1,000 pairs of eclipse glasses free of charge.

A MAN WITH A PLAN The mysteries of land use planning and other regulatory processes will be unraveled in a Thursday, Aug. 10, presentation aimed at involved citizens in Lincoln City. Sponsored by the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the free workshop is designed for people who want to participate effectively in the planning process.

Scott Hilgenberg, an attorney with the Crag Law Center, will provide a primer on how the land use planning system works and how citizens can get engaged, with special emphasis on the aspects of land use law that apply specifically to the coast, such as regulations governing beaches, dunes, estuaries and coastal shorelands. There will be ample

time for questions. The workshop will start at 5 pm at the Lincoln City Community Center, 2150 NE Oar Place. For more information, contact Hilgenberg at 503234-0788 or scott@crag.org; or Phillip Johnson, Oregon Shores’ executive director, at 503-754-9303 or phillip@ oregonshores.org.

Odd men in COME ’ROUND AND SEE Theatre West follows up female Odd Couple with Neil Simon original

Lincoln City’s Theatre West has unveiled the final installment in its Season of Simon, presenting the original version of Neil Simon’s classic comedy “The Odd Couple.” The fast-paced tale of mismatched housemates Felix and Oscar comes hot on the heels of Theatre West’s female version of the same show, in which the bickering twosome became Florence and Olivia. This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and more than a little tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder

on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results. The play stars Don Bambrough as Oscar and Lewis Smith as Felix, with Scott Christianson as Speed, Tom Carlson as Murray, Paul Wilhelmi as Roy, George Weber as Vinnie, Tricia Chandler as Gwen and Lisa Austin as Cecily. Alongside director Rich Emery, the crew includes assistant director Bruce Mace, Kate Daschel on lights and sound and Donna Morris as stage manager. The play will run through Saturday, Aug. 26, with 7:30 pm performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well as a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, Aug. 13. Tickets for the show are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (60 and over) and for students (over 12) and $10 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $12 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. To book tickets, call 541994-5663, leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101.

The newest exhibit at the Newport Visual Arts Center showcases ceramic works by Florence artist Michael Schwartz, including pieces crafted using the ancient technique of pit firing. Entitled “Eye and Spirit,” the Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase will run through Sept. 30, with an opening reception scheduled partway through the run on Friday, Sept. 8. Schwartz was born in Brooklyn and went to school in New York City. After running an active psychiatric practice in Denver for 27 years, he retired to Florence in 1995, where he took his first pottery lesson. “I didn’t know that I’d fall in love,” he said, “But now half my double garage has become my pottery studio.” Schwartz’ specialty is pit-fired ceramics in which no glaze is used to color the work. Colors come from the interaction of fire and smoke working on the salts and metals with which the artist has treated the pieces. Pit-firing is one of the earliest pottery processes and predates the advent of the kiln. The pots are literally fired in a pit dug in the artist’s backyard. Schwartz’ clean line forms put a modern spin on the ancient technique. “The morning after pit firing is a cross between gift-opening and archeology, when I see what has come from the ground,” he said. “The pots and bowls are washed, allowed to dry, and then rubbed with wax to return the burnished surface’s satiny sheen.” The disc form is central to Schwartz’ ceramic work. He makes two different kinds: a solid form and a form with a hole in the center, which he calls an “Ourobos,” a Greek term referring to a stylized snake with its tail in its mouth. To the artist, this has come to represent the recurrent cycle of life and death. Schwartz said working in his studio allows him to achieve the same kind of peace of mind that he sought to bring to patients while working as a psychiatrist. “Classical music is in the background, and I’m one with my clay,” he said. “Both sides of my brain are engaged... the left envisions a form that I put into realty with my hands, while my right cerebral hemisphere gets lost in fire’s variability. I have found my authentic self.” “Eye and Spirit” will be available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

“Fisher School Bridge” by Ted Crego

Art in the spotlight The latest Spotlight Show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery features work by photographer Ted Crego alongside watercolors by John Bradley. Crego worked as a ceramic engineer before retiring to Newport to focus on exploring his hobby of photography with his wife Kim. The couple enjoy taking photography vacations — whether to far flung locales like Cambodia, Peru and Tibet or closer to home in National Parks throughout the USA. Crego’s photo interests are varied, but he enjoys finding images that others might overlook, such as patterns and macro shots. Lately, he has been doing more panoramas and High Dynamic Range photos. His photographs have received awards in competition through the Vietnamese Artistic Photographic Association, Tri-Community Photo Center, Photographic Society of America, Tryon Creek Photo Club, Oregon State Fair Salon

of Photography, Columbia Council of Camera Clubs and the Yaquina Arts Association Photographers. Crego is the past President of Yaquina Arts Photographers, which meets twice a month in the Visual Arts Center Classroom. For more information, go to YAAPhotographers.org. Watercolor artist John Bradley believes anyone can be a good artist, if given the time. “l started later in life,” he said, “after I more or less retired.” Before that, Bradley was a dentist working in Concord, Califonia. He and his wife later moved to Eugene, then Waldport. “I always wanted to paint, but when you’re working it doesn’t work out very well to want to paint at night,” he said. “l’ve tried it.” Most of Bradley’s paintings are landscapes, often inspired by the Oregon Coast. Because he has so many originals, Bradley has long since stopped making prints of his work. His originals

www.kon e ct -aviat ion .com

hang in homes as far away as Wisconsin, Ireland and France. Bradley is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the Yaquina Art Association and has taken part in juried exhibits and gallery shows up and down the coast. His passion for watercolors has led him to enroll in numerous art classes since retiring and also taken him to southern France several times to take watercolor workshops. “l think almost anybody can do good watercolors,” he said, if they’re really persistent and do it long enough.” The show will be on display through Friday, Aug. 11 at 789 NW Beach Drive, available to view from 11 am to 5 pm daily.

AN INVITE TO RE:INVENT

CHEWS YOUR BEAVER ACTIVITY

Three north coast artists who have reinvented themselves through creative endeavors later in life will be featured at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts throughout August. The exhibit, entitled “Re:Invent,” will open with a public reception from 3 to 5 pm on Friday, Aug. 4, offering a chance to meet the artists, L. Levering Thomas, T.J. Morris and Barry Calvarese. Levering, who works with fluid acrylics on wood and in mixed media, returned to school to earn her BA in art, graduating at age 55 from Marylhurst University. Morris began to explore portrait painting in oils after a medical setback. Calvarese is developing

Art that celebrates beavers and their contribution to the ecology of the North Oregon Coast will be on display throughout August at Nehalem in a show that will benefit local conservation groups. Entitled “Beaver Tales,” the traveling exhibit includes artwork of all kinds, from paintings to fiber, wood, stone, glass and ceramics. With regional and local artists displaying their work, this stop in Nehalem will bring together a multitude of styles and creativity. The exhibit will feature juried art for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Wetlands Conservancy and Lower Nehalem Watershed Council. “The goal of the Beaver Tales Art Exhibition and events is to recognize the aesthetic and ecological

significance our state animal plays in the creation and maintenance of wetland habitats,” said Alix Lee of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council. “Beavers, though woefully misunderstood, actually create and sustain wetlands that aid in resuscitating wetland and riparian stream habitats. They play a central role in shaping our future as we prepare for transformations that a warming and changing climate may bring.” The exhibit is on display through August 30 at the North County Recreation District in, 36155 9th Street, Nehalem. On Friday, Aug. 4, local naturalist and photographer Neal Maine will give a special presentation on Beaver Ecology at 6:30 pm, followed by a reception. On Saturday, Aug. 5, The Wetlands Conservancy will

host an open house from 1 to 3 pm at the Doris Davis Wetland Preserve, located off Nehalem Road at Beach Street in Manzanita. And on Saturday, Aug. 19, the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council will lead a Beaver Trails Tour from 10 am to 2 pm, as part of the Explore Nature series of hikes, walks and paddles in Tillamook County. Registration for the tour is required. For more information, go to www.

explorenaturetillamookcoast. com. The day will wrap up with a screening of “Leave it to Beavers” at 7 pm at Alder Creek Farm, 36455 Underhill Lane in Nehalem. The PBS documentary highlights the ways in which beavers can transform and revive landscapes.

a property locally where he can create ceramics, mixed media and encaustics. “Some of us dream of a future that’s very different from our present,” Calvarese said. “All three artists in this show began to seriously voice their art mediums at an age when friends are spending more time with grandchildren or traveling. We believe we are all seeking to discover what really matters to us through our art.” The exhibit will be on show through Saturday, Aug. 26, available to view from 3 to 5 pm on Fridays and Saturdays as well as when the center is open for other events. The Hoffman Center for the Arts is located at 594 Laneda Avenue.

reetings from the Oregon Coast. Yes, the coast that recently won worldwide infamy as the place where an unsuspecting motorist found himself doused in a foul cascade of eel slime following a rear-ender on Highway 101. The slime eels (technically hagfish for the naturalists out there) were the only casualties in the incident, which created perhaps the most iconic image from the Oregon Coast since 1970, when some overenthusiastic beach stewards blew up a whale using rather too much dynamite. As we look forward to August, we hope that the coast will soon boast another iconic image — thousands of people turning their eyes skyward for the first look at “The Great American Eclipse,” which will make landfall just north of Depoe Bay on Monday, Aug. 21. Whether you plan to join us for the eclipse or are more intrigued by Tillamook’s Pig N Ford races, the Yachats River Valley Farm Tour or the annual sandcastle contest in Lincoln City, we hope you’ll find what you need with this edition of At The Edge, your guide to the best of the Oregon Coast. See you on the beach, Patrick Alexander editor & publisher AT THE EDGE is a publication of Oregon Coast TODAY, based in beautiful, oceanfront Lincoln City. Look for our weekly publication when you visit the coast, distributed at more than 360 locations from Yachats to Manzanita, featuring our dining guide, coast calendar, music listings and more.

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.

Sifan Kahale

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.”

GO WITH THE GRAIN By Gretchen Ammerman hough castles made of sand melt into the sea eventually, a crisp $100 bill might help soften the sadness of the loss. At the 40th annual Lincoln City Sandcastle Contest this Saturday, Aug. 12, successful sand architects will win prizes with silicate renderings in six categories: traditional sandcastle, dog, sea creature, squid, chowderhead and “illuminated.” Categories are further broken down by age and teams. The rules include using only sand, water, shells and other natural materials found on the beach that day to build your entry. Forms can be used during construction, but cannot be used to support the final structure. Hand tools may also be used, but please suppress the urge to use power tools. And if you know that there is such a thing as a professional sand artist, you might be one, and — if so — are respectfully asked to leave this event to the amateurs. “Other than the usual rules, you don’t have any limits on what you can build,” said former event organizer LeeAnn Reyes. “My personal favorites in the past events were the mermaids because people can get very creative.” Prizes of all kinds are up for grabs, including beach items, dining and lodging certificates and — of course — cold hard

cash. And even if you aren’t able to turn sand into clams, the contest can bestow other benefits, according to longtime participant Stacey Baird.

“There are people that have a lot of stress and this is a great way to get rid of it.” he said. “I like to go play in the sand and forget all my worries.” Over at least the past 15 years, Baird has partnered with friend and fellow sand castle fan Domenic Micherone and their families to enter the event. “We’ve won several times,” Baird said. “But sometimes we didn’t even officially enter; just went down and played around and looked at what other people were building. It really is a great way to be outside with your kids or release your own inner child.” New this year will be a second day of play on Sunday. “We’re turning this into a weekend event by adding games on the beach,” said Susan Wahlke of the Bay Area Merchants Association. “We’ll have things like Giant Jenga, ring toss, corn hole, and lots of other games for families.” The games will be in the same area as the sandcastle contest from 10 am to 3 pm. Also new this year will be s’mores on the beach on Saturday night. “This is a fun, family-oriented event,” Wahlke said. “We have many people who come here for the weekend, so we wanted to give them things to do for the whole time.”

In a survey taken last year, more than a third of respondents said that they had come specifically for the contest, and there were participants that had come from as far away as Holland and Israel. Three people said that they had been participating for more than 10 years, and one family has been coming for more than 20. Throughout Saturday, shuttles will be running from the three public parking lots in the Taft area — one on the first block west of Hwy. 101 on 51st Street, one off SE Inlet between 51st and 48th Street, and the third right off Hwy. 101 north of 48th Street, just past Oregon Beach Vacations. “This is a wonderful tradition that is attached to Lincoln City,” Wahlke said. “The Siletz Bay is a great safe place for building castles. We need to be careful, though; if it gets any bigger, we’re going to run out of beach.” Registration for the Lincoln City Sandcastle Contest begins at 9 am on Saturday, July 22, at Taft Beach SW 51st Street. Entrants must register the day of the event, before building begins. Entry is free, but a donation of nonperishable food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry is requested.

CATCH A CASE OF

SWINE FLEW AT THE TILLAMOOK COUNTY FAIR

Classic cars and pork. What could be better?

By Ann Powers

ell, if the test of time holds true — not much. The Pig-N-Ford Races have been a highly-anticipated event at the Tillamook County Fair since 1925. Locals say it all got started when a couple of farmers were transporting some pigs and one got loose. They chased down the renegade swine in their Model Ts, and had such a good time, they decided it should be an event at the next county fair. Almost a century later, this motorsport madness continues. Pig-N-Ford competitors still crank up stripped Model T Fords and cart select swine (riding shotgun) on a wild ride as hundreds of fair-goers cheer on. It goes something like this: • Five cars line up at the start line of the Averill Arena horseracing track; • When the starter pistol fires, participants grab a live 20-pound pig from a bin, handcrank their car and drive it one lap; • Racers then stop, kill the engine, get a different pig and forge on with another lap; • The first driver to complete three laps — without losing their boar-ish sidekick — wins! It’s no easy task, noted Bob Wassmer, Jr., a five-time Pig-N-Ford champion. “It’s about being focused and running the race you want to run,” he said. “There’s so many things that could go wrong.” Like handling squealing, squirming livestock and finding the right vintage vehicle to escort them in. Model Ts ceased production in 1927 and are rare to come by these days. Hence, the motorcars are as antiquated as the race itself. They are often passed down through generations of competing families, or sold only to close friends. Longtime participants say some of the vehicles that first ran in 1925 are still on the track today. In addition, race rules require the Ts to have all the original components, except one. The only variation permitted is a fourth pedal — to serve as a throttle. In a stock Model T, the

throttle is mounted on the steering wheel column. However, racers contend that when a driver’s arm is tasked with keeping a hurried hog in place, it’s physically impossible to use a throttle secured to the steering wheel. And then there’s the risk of whisking barnyard animals around a racetrack. Despite the Model Ts reaching speeds of up to 40 mph, event officials said most accidents happen during the pig-pit stops. Broken bones are not unusual. The long-running event boasts some diehard fans. Drivers belong to the Tillamook County Model T Pig-N-Ford Association and membership is often a lifelong affair and family tradition. Wassmer Jr.’s family has been competing since 1952, when his dad, Bob Wassmer Sr., entered his first race. Last year, McKenzi Wassmer (son and grandson, respectively), age 19, made his debut heat. “He had lots of fun and that’s the main thing,” said Wassmer, Jr. “For me, it was growing up around it and it’s exciting to see it carry on. McKenzi was smiling from ear to ear.” The Walker family is another testament to Pig-N-Ford passion. Dean Walker, of Tillamook, won his first race in 1959 and went on to earn seven more — wrapping up his victory streak with the world championship in 1968. His son, Marty Walker, won his first PigN-Ford competition in 1996, before Dean passed away. Marty went on to score 13 more world titles, including the 2016 top finish. His son Dillon brought home his first trophy last year, at the age of 16. “It’s fun and competitive,” said Marty. “And a family tradition passed on from generation to generation.”
