This week’s top five

NEWPORT — If there’s one thing the Victorians did well (other than wearing the heck out of top hats) it was Christmas. Such was the 19th Century’s dedication to tinsel, carols and all things festive that even lighthouse keepers on the Oregon Coast got in on the act. See how the Yaquina Head Light got gussied up for the yuletide season at a special celebration this Saturday.

NESKOWIN — See a world-class brass band without blowing your budget this Saturday, as the Neskowin Chamber Music series oﬀers a free concert by Spanish Brass, featuring everything from classical music to tunes from “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

GLENEDEN BEACH — As we celebrate the holidays, let there be no ugly thoughts, no ugly words, no ugly actions. Let there only be ugly sweaters. Find out whose is the ugliest of them all this Wednesday at Salishan.

LINCOLN CITY — For those of us upon whom nature has bestowed just enough artistic talent to bluff our way through a low-level game of Pictionary, the skill on show at the Chessman Gallery this month is simply staggering. “Suggesting Reality,” the new exhibit from Lincoln City oil painter Katia Kyte, showcases the Russian-born artist’s flair for color and mastery of

form. See for yourself on Friday, Dec. 11, when the show opens accompanied by complimentary wine and chocolate.

TILLAMOOK — While Cloverdale is a cute little stop on Highway 101, you won’t find Cloverdayle with a ‘y’ on any map of the Oregon Coast. And that’s because Cloverdayle is more a state of mind — a mashup of Nashville traditions and Pacific Northwest sentiments given voice by husbandand-wife duo Chad and Rachel Hamar. Hear what it’s all about this Wednesday when the pair return to the coast for a Christmas concert.

A holiday special

If someone with a drum wishes you ‘happy holidays’ in Newport this Saturday, Dec. 12, you can be pretty sure they really mean it. That’s the day that the Newport Community Drum Circle will be celebrating all of December’s holidays — from the major to the downright obscure — at a multicultural rhythm event in Don Davis Park. “This month’s holidays represent both religious and secular observances touching on a range of cultural traditions that overlaps neatly with the drum circle’s multicultural focus,” said drum circle leader Chandler Davis, “and they also correspond nicely to the diversity of Lincoln County and of our membership.” Davis said the traditional and indigenous song rhythms that underpin the drum circle’s work correspond to all of the major December observances — from Christmas to Catholicism’s Mexican Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8) and Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12); to Hanukkah, (Dec. 7 though Dec. 14); to Prophet’s Day (Dec. 24), when many Muslims celebrate the birthday of Muhammad. On the secular side, the drum circle will also celebrate Winter Solstice (Dec. 22), signaling the beginning of the transition to longer days, and Kwanzaa (Dec. 26 to Jan. 1), a modern holiday rooted in the Black Pride resurgence in the 1960s that encourages African-Americans to reconnect with their African heritage. Guests at the all-ages

Standing up for vets This Friday, Dec. 11, will see the return to Newport of an event aimed at giving veterans the chance to renew their spirit, health and overall sense of wellbeing. Lincoln County’s second annual Veterans Stand Down will take place at the Newport American Legion, Post #116, oﬀering services including the Mobile Dental Van and the Vet Center Mobile Unit. A hot meal will be available, along with takeaway items including boots, socks, camp gear and tools. Lincoln County Transit will oﬀer free service to the nearest bus stop. While the event is designed to honor the service of all veterans, organizers said they are paying special attention to veterans who are homeless or in an unstable or substandard housing situation. All those

who attend will be asked to take part in a conﬁdential housing survey with the aim of bringing more resources to the community to tackle housing challenges. “These are men and women who answered our country’s call and were willing to make the ultimate sacriﬁce,” said County Commissioner Bill Hall. “I’m glad we’re coming together to give something back to them.” The event will run from 10 am to 3 pm at 424 W Olive Street. For more information, call Devin Whitaker at Lincoln County Veterans Services, 541-574-6955, or Jerry Flores, Oregon Employment Department, 541-265-8891. For dental van information and appointments, contact Andrea at 541-252-0515.

Let us jog your memory event are invited to bring rhythms, songs and drums or other acoustic rhythm instruments that reﬂect their own traditional cultural or religious holiday observances. Loaner drums and other percussion instruments will be available for those who don’t have one. In honor of December’s

many mouthwatering minor holidays – including Eat a Red Apple Day (Dec. 1), Fritters Day (Dec. 2), Gingerbread House Day (Dec. 12), Chocolate Covered Anything Day (Dec. 16), Date Nut Bread Day (Dec. 22) and Eggnog Day (Dec. 24) – Davis is also inviting participants to bring snacks

or non-alcoholic beverages that reﬂect their cultural or religious holiday traditions. The event will run from 2-4 pm in the glass-enclosed gazebo opposite the Newport Performing Arts Center. For more information, contact Davis at chandler@ chandlerdavis.com or 541272-4615.

Registration is open for the annual Jingle Bell Jog in Lincoln City, giving runners of all ages the chance to dig out those reindeer antlers, elf shoes and Santa suits for a 5-kilometer jaunt on Saturday, Dec. 19. The race starts at 9:30 am at the Lincoln City Community Center, with runners heading down Devils Lake Road and along the Head to Bay Trail before returning to the center. Costumes are

recommended but optional, and race organizers will supply the bells. Runners, joggers, walkers and strollers are all welcome. Race beanies will be available for purchase. Hot chocolate, coﬀee and cookies will be served immediately afterwards. The cost is $15 with preregistration through Dec. 17. Race-day registration is $20 or $30 including race beanie.

Shedding light on

GARDENING

Few people appreciate sun breaks as much as gardeners in the Pacific Northwest. And on Thursday, Dec. 17, a round table discussion hosted by Lincoln County Master Gardeners will look at how to use these sunny moments to plant perennials, start seeds and boost soil health. “Winter Gardening” led by JoDana Bright Taylor and Claudette Schroeder, will show gardeners how to make the most of Lincoln County’s unique climate zone, cool enough that most plants are dormant and resting for the winter, yet warm enough for plants to establish beneficial root growth. “There’s much to be done in winter that has a huge impact on how the garden grows the rest of the year,” Taylor said. Both experienced Master Gardeners will provide information and answer questions about plant protection, seasonal pruning, garden hygiene, winter vegetables, cover crops and tool maintenance. Schroeder’s family homesteaded on the Oregon Coast in the 1800s, learning through trial and error which varieties of vegetables survived best during the coast’s wet winters. “Our northwest maritime climate and modern gardening techniques enable today’s home gardener to continue that tradition,” she said, “and expand the varieties in our winter gardens.” The round table discussion will run from 10 am until noon in the Community Room of the Lincoln City campus of Oregon Coast Community College, 3788 SE High School Drive. The event is free and open to all but participants should RSVP by calling 541-574-6534 to ensure adequate seating and materials.

Registration is now open for the Master Gardener course offered by the Tillamook Extension Service, giving people from all backgrounds the chance to develop their green thumb and learn from the experts. Weekly classes will begin on January 7, taught by Oregon State University faculty and local presenters at the main Tillamook Bay Community College campus. Every Thursday, students will hear from a variety of experts on all aspects of gardening on the Oregon Coast. The 12-week course, offered by the Tillamook office of Oregon State University Extension Service, will cover soils, propagation, pruning, landscape and garden planning and design, suitable plants for coastal gardening and landscaping, pest and disease control, weed management, orchards, raised beds and other topics of interest to local gardeners. Students will experience a variety of hands-on and interactive training, including greenhouse techniques at the Extension’s learning garden, assisted by local Master

Gardeners and OSU staff. The program also requires 60 hours of community service work in the first year of training, including advising the public during Master Gardener office hours. “By taking the Master Gardener classes, and in helping others, our Master Gardener apprentices develop their own expertise and abilities to better serve the community,” said local OSU Extension Agent Joy Jones. “This is a great way to help yourself and others enjoy their gardens using current scientific knowledge.” Tuition is $120 and includes the comprehensive Sustainable Gardening book, as well as access to a wide range of printed and online resources and experienced professional instructors. For those who do not have the time or desire to volunteer, the course is available for $240. To enroll, call 503-8423433 or drop by the office at 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook. Registration information can also be found at http://extension. oregonstate.edu/tillamook.

beach reads Author stays en-pointe in Manzanita A story of childhood ballet dreams and adult determination will be on offer in Manzanita on Saturday, Dec. 12, as author Lauren Kessler launches her new book at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. “Raising the Barre: Big Dreams, False Starts, and My Midlife Quest to Dance the Nutcracker,” is the latest example of Kessler’s immersive journalism style. When she was 12, Kessler’s dance instructor crushed not just her dreams of being a ballerina but also her youthful self-assurance. Many decades and three children later, Kessler embarked on a journey to join a professional ballet company and perform in Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker.” “My book is a story about shaking things up, taking risks and ignoring good

sense, and forgetting how old you are and how you’re ‘supposed’ to act,” Kessler said. “It’s about testing limits and raising the bar(re) on your own life.” As well as being an

author, Kessler is a professor at the University of Oregon where she directs the Writing Initiative in the School of Journalism and Communication The book launch will begin at 7 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue.

An object lesson in writing Whether it’s the ring in “The Lord of the Rings” or the glass slipper in “Cinderella,” iconic objects play a key role in some of literature’s most enduring classics. And on Saturday, Jan. 9, author Mindy Halleck will give pointers on how writers can eﬀectively weave symbolic objects into their work, whether it be novels, short stories or memoir. “Objects, sometimes called plot-devices, in ﬁction writing can be over done,” Halleck said. “However a well-crafted plot device, or one that emerges naturally from the setting or characters of the story, can enrich the story and provide an added layer of reader satisfaction.” Students will learn to create a narrative for an object that can enhance storytelling, help

eliminate pages of narration and aid in telling a more layered tale. “We’ll look at when, where, and how objects intersect with plot,” Halleck said, “and how to create more depth in stories.” Halleck is an awardwinning author and instructor. Her novel “Return to Sender,” set in 1950s Manzanita, was a featured debut novel in Kirkus Review Magazine in 2015 and also won a Readers

Favorite award. Recently, she won a Writer’s Digest ﬁction contest with her short story, “A Mother’s Confession.” A one-time magazine columnist and travel writer, Halleck is a happily married globe-trotter currently working on her second novel, “Garden of Lies.” The Jan. 9 workshop will run from 10 am to 3 pm, featuring writing exercises, visual presentations, handouts, story discovery worksheets and a question-and-answer session. The workshop costs $50 per person and students should register by Sunday, Dec. 20, at hoﬀmanblog.org. After the workshop, Halleck will read from her novel “Return to Sender” from 4:30 to 5:30 pm at the Cloud & Leaf Bookstore, 148 Laneda Avenue.

• The Taft 7-12 student artists will be led by Graham Klag, REEF Education Coordinator of the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council. Klag holds bachelor’s degrees in natural science biology and studio art, both from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He has mounted several solo and group exhibitions in the Northwest.

THE ARTISTS

udience members will be invited to “see” music in a new way when a collaborative performance returns to the Lincoln City Cultural Center for its second year on Wednesday, Dec. 16. Sound of Nature, Sound of Art II will highlight the correlations between music and visual arts in an evening that will feature performances from the Portlandbased Third Angle New Music string quartet alongside a trio of artists. While Third Angle New Music plays on stage, the artists — Oregon Coast resident Randall Koch along with visiting Sitka Center artists Ava Christl and Angela Eastman — will reach respond in their chosen medium. Students from Taft 7-12 will respond as well, performing an environmental art project inspired by Cascade Head, and led by Graham Klag of the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council. The event was ﬁrst held in 2014 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. It was such a popular concept that all the participating organizations were eager to try it again. Currently celebrating its 31st season, Third Angle New Music has received accolades for its performances throughout the western United States, China

• Randall Koch is the former executive director of the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology and has lived on the Oregon Coast at Cascade Head since 1978. He has increasingly been inﬂuenced by the climate, forest, rivers and ocean that surround him and has created work for gallery settings and public exhibitions.

• Ava Christl grew up in northern British Columbia and has lived most of her adult life in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. She makes large-scale oil paintings using color, texture and form to evoke a sense of place. Her work addresses issues and ideas about the land, nature, place and wilderness as well as humanity’s relationship to the land.

• Angela Eastman’s sculptures, drawings and performance works explore the delicate balance of humanity and wildness. Having lived in and traveled extensively in the US, South America and Asia, Eastman is inspired equally by the empathy learned from human relationships and by a subtly diﬀerent empathy learned through spending time in wild places.

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

Pining for the perfect tree It was our first Christmas in our own house, a 640-square-foot log cabin on an acre and a third. I loved saying that last part: An acre and a third. Imagine. Such land barons we were. As was only apt, we decided we would get our tree from, yep, that forested wonderland that was our very own acre and a third. Off into the woods we trumped, Chan carrying his axe, me scouring the woods for the perfect plump evergreen, which, of course, in Alaska you won’t find. All that sunshine in the summer shoots those babies straight up into the sky, never giving them time to fill out and turn into beauties. But I’d been in Alaska six years by then. My hopes were fairly modest. I’d once talked Chan into falling a 20-or-so-foot tree for its perfect top, only to find, once on the ground, that the top was just as scraggly as the rest of it. But that year, our tree was coming from our little kingdom and I could afford to be generous. It didn’t take long to find a tall, not-too-Charlie Brownesque fir. Chan chopped away until it crashed onto the snow, then we drug it through the woods, clear across our acre and a third to the little cabin door, only to find there was no way that tree was going to fit in our living room — even with our vaulted, exposed beam ceilings. (I liked saying that, too.) So there was more chopping and trimming, and finally the Christmas tree from our very own acre and a third stood proudly in our living room, as far as humanly possible from the wood stove, which, as you can imagine, was not nearly far enough in a cabin that size. It was a Merry Christmas. We were proud homeowners, goofy newlyweds as full of hope as a young couple could be. Yes, Chan was unemployed and on his way to apprenticeship school and it would fall to me to make sure we managed to keep that little cabin in the woods, but we would manage. Somehow. As it turned out, it was the first and only Christmas we would spend in the cabin. Because while we were full of hope for our future, it was the ‘80s and

the work had all but dried up. Chan would no sooner get dispatched to a job, when the summer would come to a close, bringing with it layoffs, along with the knowledge the next job was probably nearly nine months away. It was no way to get ahead. It was barely a way to even survive. And so, with his new “hot” apprentice ticket, Chan asked the apprenticeship board to send him off into the great wide world, or lower 48, as they say up north. I envisioned we’d go someplace like Southern California or maybe Colorado or even New England, all places I’d never been and wanted to see. Actually, I never been anywhere but my home state, the shore and Alaska. The apprenticeship board, alas, knew I had family in Pennsylvania and decided (after a brief and hideous detour through Hackensack, New Jersey), that’s where we meant to be. By the next Christmas, we were living in a rowhouse in Reading, Pennsylvania, in an apartment Chan had signed the one-year lease on before realizing that it had only a clawfoot tub and no shower. It was a barren, old, colorless place which we furnished with an air mattress, a large wooden cable spool and two smaller ones for seats, and the stereo I’d received for my 14th birthday, recovered from my parents’ garage. There was not enough money that year even for a tree. We made do with a swag on the apartment door. Then someone told us about the great buys at the original Reading outlets in the old brick buildings just down the hill. We scraped together a few bucks and went shopping. I found a little rocking horse pony, a Santa bear trivet and a couple of ornaments for the next year when surely we would have a tree. And finally, it felt like Christmas. And as blue as we might have been, we were happy all the same because we knew it would get better. And it did. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

Deli 101 warms hearts by staying open through the cold season Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Sandwich lovers of Lincoln City rejoice! The dark days of sammich-starved winters are behind you. The long, cold months spent looking longingly at the closed doors of Deli 101 are but a memory. This year, the beloved Lincoln City deli is staying open all through the winter as manager Greg Hill and his family forego their annual break in order to keep the community going with a steady supply of Ruebens, BLTs, clubs and much more. “People are stoked that we are staying open,” Hill said. “They are very happy. Now I don’t get verbally assaulted while I’m out doing my banking.” Guests coming through the doors in search of a winter warmer will not be disappointed, with Hill changing up his soup selections to oﬀer hearty recipes such as minestrone and split pea with ham hock, as well as the ever-present and always-comforting clam chowder. “In the winter, I like to make my soups a lot less brothy and a lot more sturdy,” he said. Hill also relishes the new ingredients that come with the changing seasons — using plenty of squash in the fall and putting beans to use during the winter in a heart-warming chili. Old-fashioned ingredients like salt pork and ham hock also ﬁnd their way on to the winter menu, as Hill aims to keep guests’ motors running with a selection of hearty meals. Take for example the Deli 101 chef ’s salad, a combination of turkey, ham, Tillamook cheddar, red onions, black olives, hard-boiled egg and bacon that packs enough of a protein punch to have guests leaping tall buildings with a single bound. And the deli’s range of hot sandwiches features Hill’s personal favorite, the

“Muffaletta,” which combines salami, mortadella and olive salad along with mozzarella and provolone cheeses in a muffaletta roll with Creole mustard. Both the bread and the olive salad are regularly flown in from New Orleans. Other popular items on the menu include the Sissy — one of Hill’s signature creations, combining Genoa salami, ham, bacon and provolone cheese with lettuce, onion and tomato — all drizzled with balsamic dressing and served on a baguette. But one of the charms of Deli 101 is that the menu is less a set of rules and more a collection of guidelines. If you don’t see what you want on there, Hill and his able crew are only too happy to whip up something to order. One of this season’s off-menu specials is a club sandwich that packs turkey, ham, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, provolone, bacon, lettuce and tomato into a towering structure that seems to defy the laws of physics. The deli also prides itself on crafting sandwiches that are irresistible to even the pickiest kid — with PBJs and grilled cheeses among the specialties. As the weather turns, the crowds of customers grabbing a sandwich to take to the beach have gradually been replaced by guests who want to sit in and enjoy the cosy surroundings — complete with a soundtrack straight out of MoTown. “We just want a warm, welcoming environment, a place that’s good for kids,” Hill said. “We don’t want to be sterile or starchy or have people feel like they have to wear a tie. And we keep the heat cranked up during the winter.” That said, the lure of the great outdoors still proves irresistible to some, who load up their arms with sandwich boxes emblazoned with Deli 101’s distinctive, red white and blue logo. “We still do have stormwatchers and whale watchers,” Hill said. “Hardy souls that have the

Columbia coats or North Face coats. I assume they are eating in the front seat of their car while looking at the ocean.” Whether eating in or just waiting for their order, guests can browse the deli’s gift shop, which boasts an eclectic range of items from all around the world. The driving force behind the selection is Hill’s globetrotting mother, Glenys, whose recent travels have taken her to Turkey, Italy, Thailand and Cambodia. At each new stop, she hit the local markets, picking up everything from earrings, jewelry and ornaments to a collection of gourmet vinegars and olive oils. “She loves the thrill of the hunt,” Hill said.

There’s no chance of Hill following in his mother’s footsteps and jetting off anywhere this winter, however. He and wife Kristina will take a week off over Christmas to recharge their batteries but will be back at it come Tuesday, Dec. 29 — serving up winter cheer one sandwich at a time. Deli 101 is located at 1509 SW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. Winter hours are 11 am to 3 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. They offer a 15-percent discount for active duty military and veterans every day and a 15-percent discount for seniors on Tuesdays. Call them at 541-614-1300 or go to www.deli101.com for details.

The light and soul of the party Being a 19th-Century lighthouse keeper was not a job for the faint of heart — especially in winter, when foul weather and long nights would heighten the isolation at the heart of this grueling occupation. But the keepers and their families knew how to make the best of it and have a little fun, especially at Christmas. And, on Saturday, Dec. 12, guests at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area will get to experience the holiday traditions celebrated by the families of Yaquina Head’s lighthouse keepers at a Victorian Holiday Celebration. “Visitors can enjoy traditional music by local musicians, caroling, and storytelling while sipping a cup of hot cider in a family friendly atmosphere,” said Yaquina Head Manager Janet Johnson.

DOWNSIZING MEETS

Schedule

10 am – Caroling with the Oregon Coast Recorder Society 11 am – Spindrift: hammered dulcimer, mandolin and viola Noon – High Tide NW Women’s Quartet 12:30 pm – Storytelling with Doug Force 1 pm – Mary-Beth Nickel: harp, flute and drum 2 pm – Caroling sing-along 2:30pm – Storytelling with Doug Force 3 pm – Coastalaires barbershop chorus

Throughout the day, families can participate in making Victorian-era crafts and decorating the tree. Admission to the event is free and guests can get some

holiday shopping done, too, with a 20-percent discount at the non-proﬁt Yaquina Head Book Store. Located at the north end of Newport on Lighthouse Drive, the Yaquina Head Interpretive Center will be open from 10 am to 4 pm. All other areas of the park will be open from 8 am to dusk.

holidays

MAKE SURE TO B&B THERE Music and festive treats will be on oﬀer this Sunday, Dec. 13, as Ocean Creek Bed and Breakfast in Yachats hosts a holiday celebration open house. Innkeepers Jim Murphy and Diane Disse will welcome guests into the landmark property, which recently opened for business following a ﬁvemonth remodel. The couple will be serving up beverages and holiday treats against a backdrop of live music from Lost in Time, a duo drawn from the Oregon Coast Recorder Society. The duo will play dance music and songs from Medieval times to the 21st Century on the recorder, viola da gamba and gemshorn. Guests are asked to bring two nonperishable food items or an unwrapped toy for donation to the Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program and Yachats Food Share. The Yachats Youth & Family Activities Program serves South Lincoln County youth and families with high quality preschool, early literacy activities, after-school, summer camps and family programs. “If folks want to donate toys, we can take any kind for various purposes, just not play weapons of any kind,”

The Lost in Time duo

said Director Alice Beck. “We would use them in our two main programs: preschool age (3-5) and school age (512). Puzzles, art supplies, and similar toys are always welcome.” The event will take place from 11 am to 2 pm at 1010 Hwy. 101 S., just south of Yachats. For more information, call 541-5474113.

A little light exercise? Visitors to the Heceta Head Lightstation near Yachats are invited to marvel at the array of lights on display at the Annual Victorian Christmas Open House this weekend — as well as to bring along a light of their own. Guests at the magical event are encouraged to bring a ﬂashlight and enjoy a nighttime walk from the State Scenic View Point parking lot up to the lighthouse, where hosts will be waiting with warm drinks and treats. For those who don’t fancy the walk, a shuttle bus will take visitors from the park right to the front door. Upon arrival, guests will ﬁnd the Queen Anne style Keeper’s House decorated inside and out with festive Victorian holiday decorations. The event will run from 4 to 7 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12 and 13, repeated the following weekend, Dec. 19 and 20. Visiting after dark is a great opportunity for guests to

watch the lighthouse beams rotate overhead. Each evening, local performers will share holiday favorites, with Ron Stanley, Richard Sharpless and Marty Adams among the talented musicians who will be playing at the historic Keeper’s House. Santa will be stopping by to hand out candy canes and receive Christmas lists from children of all ages. A holiday raffle offers the chance to win a free night’s stay at the Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast as well as great prizes from local artists and businesses. The Lighthouse Gift Shop will be open and filled with special lighthouse gifts for Christmas shopping. Entry to the Keeper’s House is free but donations are gladly accepted. Parking is at the State Scenic View Point is $5 per vehicle. For more information, call the Heceta Lighthouse B&B at 541-547-3696.

Do your bid for Christmas Organizers of the Mrs. Claus Christmas Tree Spectacular in Toledo are offering the chance to kill two birds with one stone — take a shortcut to a beautifully trimmed tree while also helping buy Christmas gifts for local kids who might otherwise go without. The silent auction will see a selection of trees and wreaths on display at the Toledo branch of Oregon Coast Bank from 9 am to 7 pm on Friday, Dec. 11. Everyone is invited to come and view the trees free of charge or to place a bid on whichever festive creation they would like to take home. Refreshments and snacks will be provided starting at 5 pm on Friday. Oregon Coast Bank is located at 305 NW Main Street, Toledo.

Tangle with Santa At Miracle on 51st Street in Lincoln City

In the classic 1947 “Miracle on 34 th Street” an old man’s claim to be the real live Santa Claus leads to commitment in a mental institution and a highstakes court battle. Fortunately, no-one attending Lincoln City’s Miracle on 51 st Street would ever dare to question the credentials of the man in the red suit. After all, when you arrive by fire truck, flanked by a posse of bikers wearing reindeer horns, it lends you a certain amount of credibility. “This is absolutely one of my favorites,” said Santa from beneath his lustrous white beard. “This is something that Santa won’t miss.” Santa will roll down 51st Street at 4 pm on Saturday, Dec. 12, setting up a mobile grotto in a trailer outside Mo’s restaurant. There, he will pose for photos and

hear Christmas wishes until 7 pm. Stephanie Franklin, of Roundabouts for Veterans and Community, which has organized the event for the past nine years, said kids and adults alike can get their photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus in return for a donation of two cans of food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry. She said the Clauses

will also pose with pets in return for a couple of cans of pet food for the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. “As long as it’s not a snake,” she said. “I haven’t asked him about that.” People waiting in line to see Santa can enjoy hot cocoa courtesy of Mo’s, along with free candy canes and festive entertainment from a troupe of carol singers. Franklin said she is also working on a big surprise for guests at this year’s event but is keeping the details under her hat until everything is confirmed. Whatever the surprise is, it would be hard-pressed to compete with the shock that Santa received a few years back when a woman posing for a photo opened up her winter coat to reveal a set of lingerie. “Santa said ‘is this my present?’” Franklin said.

Waldport goes to the dogs

Tina the Chihuahua contemplates the trek across Waldport’s Alsea Bay Bridge • TODAY photo

Every dog owner knows that their four-legged friend can light up a room with nothing more than a wag of the tail or a tilt of the head. But every December, dogs in Waldport go a step further a light up the whole town. This Saturday, Dec. 12 will see dog lovers from across town and beyond dress up their four-legged friends in outlandish holiday garb, topped by Christmas lights for the annual Lighted Dog Costume Contest and Bridge Walk. The tradition began in

1987, back when Waldport still hosted a lighted boat parade. Inspired by the sight of the illuminated boats on Alsea Bay, Waldport residents Jean Weakland and Pat Montgomery decided to create a parade of their own. They put a battery-powered, multi-colored light set on their lovable fawn boxer, Molly, and set oﬀ across the Alsea Bay Bridge. The event is now part of Christmas in Waldport, a celebration that sees the Waldport Chamber of Commerce, Oregon State

Parks and local service clubs come together for an evening of merriment, community — and illuminated dogs. The fun starts at 5 pm, when Santa arrives at the Alsea Bay Historic Interpretive Center by ﬁre truck to hear Christmas wishes. Guests can enjoy free hot dogs, chips and hot drinks, face painting and live music from the Paciﬁc Coast Wind Ensemble. At about 6:30 pm, dogs in all sorts of get-ups, illuminated or otherwise, are invited to take part in the dog

costume contest, with prizes for every pooch. After the contest, the group sets out across the bridge, walking a one-and-a-halfmile loop to the north end and back again, lighting their way with ﬂashlights, glowsticks and batteryoperated candles. After the walk, weather permitting, guests can gather around a bonﬁre on the beach, or retreat into the interpretive center for hot drinks.

ALL PRESENT AND CORRECT Choirs unite for Newport Christmas concert

A real brass act Music fans will have the chance to hear some quality brass without parting with a nickel this Saturday, Dec. 12, as the Neskowin Chamber Music series presents a free Christmas concert featuring Spanish Brass. “We view this concert as a way to say thank you to our loyal supporters,” Board President Fran Madachy said. “We are hoping for a good turnout to hear this wonderful Christmas music.” Hailing from — you guessed it — Spain, Spanish Brass was formed in 1989 by ﬁve musicians as an innovative project that quickly gained worldwide fame for its performances, educational activities and creative collaborations. The group has given hundreds of concerts around the world in such prestigious venues as the Great American Brass Band Festival, the New York Brass Conference, the Julliard School of Music and the National Gallery in Washington D.C. as well as at the Festival de Musique de RadioFrance and the Granada International Festival. The winner of many awards, the group has been a leader in international music education, giving courses and master classes around the world. Members include Carlos Beneto and Juanjo Sema on trumpet, Manuel Perez on French horn, Inda Bonet on trombone and Sergio Finca on tuba. They will play a wide selection of Christmas music ranging from “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” and “What Child is This” to “Christmas Time is Here” and “Linus and Lucy” both from “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The concert will begin at 2 pm at Nestucca Elementary School, 36925 Hwy. 101, Cloverdale. Admission is free but donations will be accepted. For more information, call Fran Madachy at 503-965-6499.

The Newport Symphony Orchestra will welcome a lineup of guest stars to the Oregon Coast this weekend for its annual winter extravaganza of heartwarming music and holiday favorites. The concert, conducted by guest music director Steven Zielke, will highlight the vocal splendor of two visiting choirs, Zielke’s own Corvallis Repertory Singers and local favorite the Central Coast Chorale. Having rehearsed separately in Newport and Corvallis, the groups will come together to sing carols like “O Holy Night” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” as well as lesser-known delights like “Maria Walks Amid the Thorn.” “It’s an indescribable experience to put two or more groups together with selections of music that they have been working on separately,” said Central Coast Chorale Director Dr. Mary Lee Scoville. “All the beauty of the music is amplified and it’s absolutely wonderful to hear and be a part of that!” A select group of Newport Symphony Orchestra musicians will fill the rest of the stage at the Newport Performing Arts Center — making for a combined group of 80 trained voices and 30 orchestral musicians under Zielke’s baton. The assembly will perform the well-loved “Christmas Oratorio Part 1” by Johann Sebastian Bach, a piece composed specifically for the first day of Christmas and one that will draw on the strength of the chorales and soloists. This will be followed by a moving modern piece “Lux Aeterna” (Eternal Light) written by Morten Lauridsen in 1997. A former firefighter and Forest Service lookout on Mount

St. Helens, Lauridsen was named an “American Choral Master” in 2006 by the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2007, he received the National Medal of Arts for his “radiant choral works combining musical beauty, power, and spiritual depth.” Five of his works have been nominated for Grammy awards. Zielke describes “Lux Aeterna” as “an intimate work centered on hope, reassurance, and illumination.” The program will also include music by Handel, Mendelssohn and Mozart, as well as classic arrangements of beloved Christmas carols such as “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “The First

The Oregon Coast will welcome its homegrown Nashville duo Cloverdayle back for a special holiday performance this Wednesday, Dec. 16, at the Tillamook Coliseum Theater. The “Christmas with Cloverdayle” concert will feature all the favorite hits from husband-and-wife duo Chad and Rachel Hamar, whose music has been shaped in part by time spent at the family home near Pacific City. After five years of building a significant and devoted following in the Northwest, Chad and Rachel were presented with an opportunity to move to country music central — Nashville, Tennessee. They return twice a year for concerts in the Northwest and to visit family along with the Pacific Ocean. “Being born and raised Oregonians, Tillamook, and that stretch of the coast, holds a very special place in both of our hearts,” Chad said. “We’ve excited to be back playing in Tillamook. Hope to see everyone there!” Since being back in Nashville, Rachel had a chance to take part in a musical venture with country music icon Kenny Rogers, singing harmony vocals on his

Christmas track “That Silent Night.” Christmas cheer will also be on oﬀer at the Dec. 16 concert, with the playlist including a festive number from Cloverdayle’s “Oﬀ The Grid” album that was released last May. “For as long as we both can remember, we’ve wanted to write a song that would somehow capture a part of the amazing spirit of the holiday season,” Chad said. “This last year we had the incredible opportunity to not only write

and record a song called “Christmas Lights The Dark,” but we also shot this video for it in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains.” The Dec. 16 show will begin at 6:30 pm at the Tillamook Coliseum Theater, 310 Main Avenue, Tillamook. Tickets, $10 in advance and $15 on the door, are available at State Farm Insurance and Tillamook Coliseum Theater. Admission is $5 for kids aged 5 to 12 and free for under 5s. For more information, go to www.cloverdayle.com.

A quake lesson in geology On the Oregon Coast, breath-taking beauty goes hand-in-hand with dire warnings of earthquakes and tsunamis. And the very geologic forces that threaten lives also are responsible for the spectacular mountains, valleys and coastlines cherished by Oregonians. Oregon State University Emeritus Professor of Geosciences Bob Lillie, Ph.D., will share the connection between hazards and scenery in the latest oﬀering from the Cape Perpetua Winter Discovery Series on Saturday, Dec. 12. In a presentation entitled “Beauty from the Beast,” Lillie will draw on his experience as a geology professor, park ranger and graphic illustrator to reveal plate tectonics in action and explain the basics of Earth science in easy-to-understand ways. “’Beauty from the Beast’ reminds Northwest residents and visitors that their hometowns and iconic parklands are subject to geologic processes that aﬀect their lives and livelihoods,” he said. “By learning to live with the beast of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic

il paintings bursting with color will be on show at Lincoln Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chessman Gallery in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suggesting Reality,â&#x20AC;? the new exhibit from coastal artist Katia Kyte, which opens on Friday, Dec. 11. The opening reception will run from 5 to 7 pm, giving guests the chance to enjoy complimentary wine and chocolate as well as talk with the artist. Kyte works directly from life and relies upon setup, tone and color to paint raw and bold contemporary still lifes, figures and landscapes. Her oil paintings show her joy in the paint-handling and her eye for color. This exhibit is a testament to her hard work, skill and knowledge. Born in Saratov, Russia, in 1982, Kyteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest memories include drawing, painting and creating. At the age of three, she moved with her physician parents to a small town in Siberia. There, far away from big cities and art museums, she

Free kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class Thanks to a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, the Chessman Gallery is offering a free kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; still life class to go along with Kyteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, giving kids aged 7 to 15 the chance to try their hand at still life painting with pastels. The class will run from 10 to 11:30 am on Saturday, Jan. 2, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. To register, call Krista Eddy at 541-992-4292 or email artgallery@ lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

admired pieces of art from postcards and books. Kyteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents recognized their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic talent early and at the age of 11 she began a fouryear program to study the basic skills of drawing and painting. After graduating high school she decided to pursue her other passion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; languages. Five years later she earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Irkutsk State Linguistic University. While working as an interpreter in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Kyte continued to develop her art career. Following her dream, she immigrated to the US

in 2008, settling in Oregon where she began to show her work at a co-op gallery in 2009. At that time, she was inspired by the Impressionists and painted frequently with a palette knife. Simultaneously, she was teaching art classes for children and continuing her own art education through workshops, study and exploration. In 2012, she joined a group of daily painters and began the practice of doing one small painting a day and posting them on her blog. She had her first solo show at the Chessman Gallery in January 2013.

Kyte paints alla prima from life using oils, with most of her subjects being still lifes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love painting from life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strive to keep true to the subject, while breathing life and excitement into the painting.â&#x20AC;? Kyte lives in Lincoln City with daughter, Alexandra, and family dog, Ivan. When not painting, she travels, practices yoga and reads philosophy and religion as well as teaching oil painting classes at the Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Studio Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like any other skill, painting demands interest,
