Wayne Plourde, Sarah Gayle, Paul Johnson, Norm Halsey and Ralph Grutzmacher strike a serious pose

rapid-ďŹ re smartphone photos of my baby boy as he discovered the joys of a cardboard box, was that Victorian photo-taking technology was simply not up to capturing a ďŹ&#x201A;eeting smile. Though cameras improved greatly throughout the 50 years of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reign, long exposure times meant that a straight face was still a safer bet than a smile that could wobble and blur, leaving you with a portrait that resembled someone who has just ďŹ nished eating a large plate of spaghetti Bolognese. All of which leads me to one of the oddest things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hidden Motherâ&#x20AC;? by Linda Fregni Nagler, a collection of baby portraits from the 1820s onward. The book shows hundreds of portraits in which mothers have disguised themselves as chairs and other pieces of furniture in order to hold their infants with a vice-like grip and keep them from wriggling during the exposure. Vice-like grips will not be required for folks attending Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dickens Christmas this Saturday, with Main Street closed to traďŹ&#x192;c from 5 to 7 pm to create a safe, pedestrian friendly environment for a tree-lighting, carols, crafts, hot cider and lots more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there, clicking away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as fast as my camera will let me.

I headed toward the town clock to meet my photo subjects. They were not hard to spot. Bedecked in top hats, waistcoats, hoop skirts, shawls and bonnets, organizers of Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst Dickens Christmas stood braving the freezing temperatures with all the stoicism and dignity that their Victorian garb demanded. There were smiles and handshakes all around as each member introduced themselves and we agreed to get the shoot done as fast as possible to avoid the potential for folks having to be chiseled out of their corsets when we ďŹ nally got inside. I shuďŹ&#x201E;ed people around into an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, crouched down into photo-taking stance and started clicking the shutter. After a few shots, I noticed that something was diďŹ&#x20AC;erent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the smiles had disappeared and ďŹ ve, very serious faces loomed above me. Were they cross? Had they expected a larger camera? Had I accidentally snubbed the mayor by placing him at the back? Then it dawned on me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dedication to the Victorian look did not stop at the costumes. They were giving me the full deadpan portrait expression, too. Patrick Alexander Why were Victorians so resolutely Editor hatchet-faced when it came to portrait time? Some people say it was to hide rotten teeth; others claim that Victorian society simply required that people maintain a certain reserve in their dealings with the world. Another reason, which I pondered later when snapping

Spinning a tale on the big screen News that the gloriously sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman from AMC’s “Breaking Bad” is to appear as the lead in a new series called “Better Call Saul” is the latest in the long established tradition of the spin-off show. Sometimes they work, remember “Frasier” and “Mork and Mindy?” Sometimes they don’t. Let’s forget “Joey.” But before we get a chance to see how the crooked Mr. Goodman fares in his own vehicle, the Newport Performing Arts Center is giving us the opportunity to admire one of the earliest examples of a spin-off — Verdi’s “Falstaff ” live and in high definition on the big screen. First performed in 1893, the comic opera focuses on Sir John Falstaff, a character who had appeared in three Shakespeare plays

written some 300 years earlier. Falstaff, a fat, cowardly but somehow lovable knight was familiar to audiences through his appearances in “Henry IV, Part 1,” “Henry IV, Part 2” and “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” On Saturday, Dec. 14, James Levine, music director of the Metropolitan Opera, will conduct Verdi’s opera at the Met for the first time since 2005 — a performance that will be beamed live across the nation as part of “The Met: Live in HD” series. Robert Carsen’s production — the first new Met Falstaff since 1964 — is set in the English countryside in the mid-20th century. Ambrogio Maestri sings the title role of the blustery Falstaff, opposite an ensemble that includes Angela Meade, Stephanie Blythe, Lisette

Ambrogio Maestri in the title role of Sir John Falstaff

Oropesa and Franco Vassallo. Falstaﬀ is a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera; Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; Teatro alla Scala, Milan; the Canadian Opera Company, Toronto; and De Nederlandse Opera, Amsterdam. The Live in HD series is made possible by a generous grant from the Neubauer Family Foundation. Local sponsors include the Jeannette B. Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation, the City of Newport, season benefactors Anonymous and Bill and JoAnn Barton. The screening will run from 10 am to 1:20 pm in the main auditorium of the center, 777 W. Olive Street Tickets, $20.50 general, $17.50 for seniors and $10.50 for students are available at the box oﬃce or by calling 541-265-2787.

Taught by renowned local artist, Kathleen Ryan, this three hour course will get students familiar with the center’s studio and its equipment, and teach the basic techniques of slab building, coil pots, pinch pots, and creating textures. The class will run from 1 to 4 pm on Friday, Dec. 13, at the center’s clay studio, 592 Laneda Avenue.

Silent Night?

The Central Coast Chorale

No way!

The Central Coast lights up with holiday music By Jenni Remillard For the TODAY

hile you may hear the tune Silent Night, your night will be anything but silent if you attend any of the holiday concerts being offered by several Central Coast musical groups this December. Local favorites The Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble; Newport Youth Symphony of the Oregon Coast; and Central Coast Chorale are all playing holiday concerts this season. Each group has very different instrumentation, so you will enjoy a totally new experience if you attend all of the concerts. First up, the Central Coast Chorale will present a selection of music from around the world, including Spain, Germany, England and Ukraine on Friday, Dec. 13, at the Performing Arts Center in Newport. Directed by Mary Lee Scoville, the Central Coast Chorale is made up of more than 65 members of all ages who love to get together and sing. The Dec. 13 concert, which begins at 7:30 pm, will see the Chorale perform alongside handbell choirs Aurumque and The Resonators. Aurumque means “golden” in Latin and this group is made up of beginners who are just learning the art of handbells. The Resonators are a more experienced group. If you have never seen a handbell choir perform, it is

quite an experience. Not only are you hearing beautiful music, but watching the performers switch effortlessly between bells is something to behold. Each bell is only one tone, so players must pick up a new bell for each different note. The bells range all along the musical scale so some bells are quite large, while at the higher end of the scale, the bells are very small. This concert will be a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. If you miss it, the Chorale will be performing again, without the handbells, at the Performing Arts Center on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 2 pm. Admission to both concerts is a suggested donation of $8. Next, on Saturday, Dec. 14, The Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble will be performing at the Yachats Commons at 2 pm. The ensemble is a community band made up of about 40 people from Florence to Newport. The all-volunteer band consists of everyone from professionals to people who haven’t played since high school, but they make it work with a balance of simple tunes and more technical pieces. Directed by Jim Cameron, the nonprofit band usually supports a worthy cause for each of their concerts. Their Dec. 14 concert in Yachats is no exception, benefiting South Lincoln County Resources and the Yachats Food Pantry. Concert goers are asked to bring non perishable food items along with a suggested admission

After enjoying wind instruments, you can head up to Newport to enjoy some strings. The Newport Youth Symphony of the Oregon Coast and Overture

Strings will also be performing on Saturday, Dec. 14, but not until later in the day. Sponsored by the Newport Symphony Orchestra, Overture Stings is a beginners orchestra lead by Barbara Wilcox. Meanwhile, the youth symphony, led by Cathy Follet, is made up of area school-aged students at the intermediate and advanced level with a few adult players sprinkled in for moral support. This concert will feature a selection of basic carols from both groups as well as Carol of the Bells with special guests from the Aurumque

handbell choir. The performance begins at 7 pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Newport. Admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated and all proceeds go to support the youth orchestra. All three groups welcome new members. The Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble is especially looking for flute and clarinet players, while the youth orchestra would love to get their hands on some student trumpet and string players. Each group’s website is included below if you would like to join in.

Ray Degele applies the finishing touches to some pastries

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Some people are destined to be politicians; some are destined for the silver screen. Ray Degele, it appears, is destined to bake. And now, after many years of lending his talents to kitchens and bake shops from Salishan to Safeway and taking a decade out to help build and maintain the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Ray is fulﬁlling that destiny on his own terms at Depoe Baykery. “I like variety of work,” he said, “but it’s funny — I always come back to baking. This is where my heart really lies.” Ray learned the trade from his father, a baker who started out in Montana before moving to Oregon and running bakeries in The Dalles, La Grande and Hermiston. Along with his brothers, Ray formed a ready-made baking crew who helped out by frying donuts in the mornings before school. “My ﬁrst badges in cub scouts were all the cooking badges,” he said, “just because I loved to bake.” Ray and his wife, Debi, both moved to the coast to work at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort — she in 1978, he in 1982. Originally hired as a line cook, Ray took over as baker within a year and ran the bake shop for four.

New challenges beckoned and he went on to work at the Safeway bakeries in Newport and Lincoln City; the Pig N’ Pancake; and Spirit Mountain Casino — broken up with a decade-long break from baking while working at the aquarium. Meanwhile, Debi stuck with Salishan for 26 years and actually landed two signing bonuses for bringing her husband back on board for two more stints at the resort. Now though, the couple have their own bakery, offering “taste and aroma therapy” six days a week just north of Depoe Bay. Depoe Baykery opened its doors in August 2011, but the couple had already road tested many of their products with a booth at the Lincoln City Farmers Market. For two summers, they sold cookies, muffins and scones while gauging the demand for a bricks and mortar premises. “People were saying ‘where’s your bakery?’” Ray said. “‘You need to open up. This stuff is just fantastic.’” The bakery’s location, right next to the Lincoln Beach Thriftway, allows the couple to walk to work. In Ray’s case, that working day starts at about 10 or so. Not too bad until you realize that’s 10 pm rather than 10 am, with Ray working through the

night to fill the display cases with fresh goods each morning. Among the most popular offerings are Little John’s World Famous Coconut Macaroons, named in honor of Ray’s father and regularly shipped to devoted fans all around the world. Ray also produces a special version called the Oregon Joy Coconut Macaroon, which has roasted filberts and is dipped in dark chocolate. “The roasted filberts just bring so much more flavor out,” he said. Shipping products is not unusual for the Degeles, who find that people who visit the bakery while on vacation often fall in love with a particular treat. One woman in Arizona receivies four dozen of Ray’s bran muffins every couple of months, while her husband receives an order of gluten-free (but still decadent) chocolate chews. Another top seller is Ray’s range of donuts, which he said owe their light texture to a frying process that uses very hot oil — cooking the treats fast so they don’t have time to absorb any grease. “You’ve got to work a lot faster,” he said, “but you have a nice, light product — not heavy at all.” On the savory side, specialties include Forgasa bread, a French loaf

Debi and Ray holding down a tray of extremely light maple bars

made with Swiss cheese, cheddar, feta, red and white onions, minced garlic and olive oil. Ray said the bread is perfect for breakfast sandwiches and he also whips up a version with jalapeños for some added bite. That selfsame pepper is also to be found in Ray’s award-winning chocolate jalapeño mousse with bacon topping, a dessert that combines three ingredients that sound like they shouldn’t go together but somehow do. The treat won Ray

first prize at last year’s Chocolate Classics, the annual fundraiser held at the aquarium for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. Ray has competed in the contest for many years and another of his creations, the chocolate peanut butter pie is among the desserts he makes to order, joined for the holiday period by a roasted sweet potato cheesecake. And Ray is always willing to try his hand at a special recipe, like the New Orleans King Cake that has required adding something rather unusual to his array of baking ingredients — a tub of plastic babies. According to Mardi Gras tradition, whoever finds the baby in their slice of the purple, green and gold-topped sweetbread is required to provide the King Cake for the next party. But regardless of whether it’s a recipe he’s tackling for the first time or the thousandth, customers can rest assured that the result will meet Ray’s exacting standards. “If it don’t taste good,” he said, “it ain’t coming out of my shop.” Depoe Baykery is located at 3830 N. Hwy. 101 in Lincoln Beach. Winter hours are 7 am to 2 pm every day except Tuesday. Call them at 541-7643553.

Anyone for leftovers?

The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are a prime time for leftovers, but the new show at the Newport Visual Arts Center’s Upstairs Gallery has much more to oﬀer than an old turkey and cranberry sandwich. The Leftovers Show is a collection of artwork that has been left behind at the center, ranging from pieces submitted for previous PushPin community art shows to artwork left behind by previous classes. All work has been abandoned for at least a year and Oregon Coast Council for the Arts has done its best to contact the artists. Funds raised from art sales will beneﬁt the visual arts center. In any given year, the Leftover Show might include pencil and crayon drawings, paintings, collage, ceramics, basketry, pen and ink images, silkscreen prints, photographs, pastels and watercolors. The show, which runs through Jan. 4, also features artwork from the Richard Cabral collection. Some pieces will be priced; others will be for sale by donation. The Upstairs Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4 pm, at 777 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround. For more information, call Sally Houck at 541-265-6569 or email shouck@coastarts. org.

A spot of color Artwork by Debbie Olson and Mary Young will take center stage at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery for a two-week spotlight show starting on Saturday, Dec. 14. Young will be displaying fused glass artwork or “warm glass,” a process she stumbled upon when her father bought a kiln. She began experimenting with it and found her niche. “I am inspired in a big way by nature and animals,” she said. “Playing and experimenting with color is a huge part of my glass work as well. I ﬁnd joy in creating color combinations that just sing together.” Having moved to the coast from the Portland and Vancouver area seven years ago, Young has now served on the YAA board of directors for several years. Meanwhile, Olson grew up in the Monterey Bay area and Mt. Shasta, California, and went on to study art at the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, California. After a career as a real estate agent and retiring in Idaho as a restaurant owner, she now divides her time between the mountains, rivers and lakes of Central Idaho her home in Waldport. She loves the nautical gestures that the Oregon Coast has to oﬀer; from the sound of the waves to the lush green habitat of the coastal mountains. The spotlight show runs until Dec. 27 and is open daily from 11 am to 4 pm at 789 NW Beach Drive at the Nye Beach Turnaround. There will also be an arts and crafts Holiday Show with many gift ideas for unique local items.

Art you can put your finger on When gallery directors put together a show, “tacky” is not normally one of the words they want popping into the minds of their audience. But there’s no other way to describe the new oﬀering at the Newport Visual Arts Center, where works from established artists hang alongside pieces from absolute beginners — all held in place with push pins.

The 23rd annual Community PushPin Show, which opens on Friday, Dec 13, gives Lincoln County residents of all ages and levels of experience a chance to show oﬀ their work in a gallery setting. And visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece throughout the show, which runs through Tuesday, Jan. 5.

People in distress

onny the husky and I rolled into Pacific City on a frigid Thursday in December with nothing to do except pay a mandatory visit to Nestucca Spit in Bob Straub State Park and honor a sacred Oregon public space. We pulled into the parking lot and I saw a single silver truck the size of a tank. Other people! I loathe that! Nevertheless, Sonny and I would brook the oppressive presence of interlopers because, well, we all need the beach one day or night for one reason or another. On this particular afternoon, I needed the ocean to smooth out some rocky paragraphs I’d recently written. Here’s how we collaborate: I walk. I think. I notice. I harvest. I revise. The ocean edits and it’s not about punctuation. About a quarter mile heading south into the dunes, I looked down to the beach and saw a woman. She was on her knees, torso bent over a mound of sand, her head down. She repeatedly pounded the sand with her right fist. She had her back to the ocean and rested ten feet away from the incoming tide. A sneaky winter wave could have easily engulfed her. I watched her for a few seconds and considered a course of action. This seems to be my lot in beach life these days. Why do I encounter so many distressed persons on Oregon Coast beaches? The answer is simple: I generally visit unpopular beaches at off hours (so I don’t have to see anyone) and that’s precisely where and when people go in distress. No one in that condition goes to Seaside during the summer or the D River Wayside during the kite festival. I whipped out my camera, shot a few

photographs, and never worried about my detachment. I’m a human being first and a writer last. The pursuit of a story never trumps my responsibility to care for people and animals in desperate straits. I’ll never let my journalistic curiosity result in tragic indifference. DH Lawrence once wrote, “Love is action: action is consolatory.” Henry Miller once wrote, “Ideas must be wedded to action.” I just wrote, “Caring wedded to action provokes love and offers the most important consolations.” The stories are pretty damn good, too, much better when a person acts than observes. Had the woman started swimming out to sea, I would have instantly followed and fished her out. My parents would have disowned me had I not acted. I was raised to care and caring is a verb — action. I was thinking about all this when I heard a dog barking in the slight distance. Seconds later, a small black hound with a white nose emerged, stared up at me and Sonny and barked in our direction. She had a dog! The hound barked at the woman, too, but her head remained down. I took one last photograph before putting the camera away. Eventually, the dog’s barking roused the woman. She gazed up at me from the mound and then stood up. I waved. She didn’t wave back. She picked up a driftwood staff and started walking north down the beach. Her dog darted around her and she started talking to it. A dialogue between them ensued and I would have paid a million gold bars to hear it. Sonny and I drifted back into the dunes. I wasn’t concerned for her safety anymore; she had brought

along her dog and I believed that fact precluded any terrible idea of attempting suicide. She wasn’t going to just leave her pet behind although people who do commit suicide typically leave behind a lot more than that. Of course, on the beach in these speeding moments, I always make it up as I go along. There is never any playbook near the ocean. I will say this: One day, I know I will have to act on the beach. I am ready. You might even read about it. Matt Love’s latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,” is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores. He can be reached at lovematt100@yahoo. com.

A gift WITHOUT THE RAPPING If you think learning several new songs each day is tough, imagine how much tougher it gets when one of the songs is in Tagalog, the official language of the Philippines. But the cast of the upcoming Lincoln City musical “The Gift” rose to the occasion, mastering the song alongside more than a dozen others for the show, which will debut on Friday, Dec 13, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Producer John Kendall of Flying Fish Productions said he and fellow leaders of the Kids Sing Out group developed the song before Typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda) devastated the Philippines and had decided against including it due to the steep learning curve the language presented. After the typhoon hit, the leaders resurrected the song, challenging the kids to stretch themselves even more. John said the song, “Star Ng Pasko,” conveys hope, courage in crisis and the real spirit of Christmas. “Our Lincoln City kids from this coastal community realized they are just like those kids in the path of Yolanda,” he said. “They would learn the difficult language and appeal to adults to help through the disaster relief arm of World Vision. They would make the Christmas season not about what you can get, but about what you can give.” As well as serving as an appeal for World Vision, the show is raising funds for Family Promise, a local organization preparing to meet the needs of homeless families. “The Gift” tells the story of Christmas in parable form, loosely based on a story by Marti Crisp about a boy and his dog on a journey from Egypt to Bethlehem. John said the production is being put together at record pace, with the kids immersing themselves totally in the workshopping process. “The rate at which these kids are absorbing new lyrics, new melodies, new choreography, line delivery, and stage blocking, is beyond all our expectations,” he said. “Their concentration is amazing they are memorizing two to three songs per rehearsal and are essentially ‘offbook’ right after the songs are introduced.” It’s not only the kids who are working

ﬂat out. “The Gift” is literally being written between every rehearsal, with songwriter and director Valerie Kendall coming up with one or two songs per week. “The song, at some point, begins to take on a life of its own,” she said. “I use a dummy melody to make sure that words ﬁt into a natural rhythmic pattern. Usually the real melody quickly follows. My husband used to jokingly call me the melody-a-minute-girl, it’s a little harder than that.” After Valerie has chorded the melodies

using a ukulele, the Kendalls send the results to Yovanny Perez in Portland who works his wonders on the orchestrations. Valerie herself plays the role of the singing narrator in the show, which stars Avery Nightingale as Ameera and Margery Price as her dog, Ra. The Singing Camel duet are played by Winter & Haley Callin; and Mary by guest artist Haley Dean, leader of Portland band Shores of Astor. Joshua Zantello plays Joseph, with his son, Owen Zantello, appearing as Jesus. The three wise men are played by Bob Harrison, Stan Michelson, and John Nightingale; and Jason Burke puts in a villainous turn as the kennel master. Special child roles are ﬁlled by Allison Cooklin and Echo Murphy-Nash. Music is provided by Paul, Barbara and Paula Beard on piano and bells; Amanda Cherryholmes on congas; Marshall Edwards on guitar; and Scott Perkins on bass. The show opens at 7 pm on Friday, Dec. 13, in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. On Saturday, Dec 14, there will be a 3 pm matinée, and a 7 pm evening performance. The ﬁnal show will be a 3 pm matinée on Sunday, Dec 15. Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 at the door, and are available by calling 541-994-9994. Children 5 and under get in free.

What the

Jill Lyon, Bob Trusty, Sarah Gayle and Wayne Plourde prepare for a tale of one city — Toledo

DICKENS? Toledo honors our mutual friend with hometown holiday celebration Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ith the collars starched and ready, the corsets laced up tight and Tiny Tim’s English accent coming along swimmingly, expectations for the first Dickens Christmas in Toledo are, well… great. The Saturday, Dec. 14, celebration will see the town’s Main Street transformed into the very picture of a Victorian Christmas, with roving carolers, bell ringing, hot cider and period costumes aplenty. At the core of the event is a group of Main Street merchants including Paul Johnson of Main Street Mercantile, who said the author of “A Christmas Carol” and other festive tales was the natural choice for the celebration. “You say ‘Dickens,’ it means Christmas,” he said. Sarah Gayle of SolaLuna Gallery said Toledo also has the advantage of being one of the few Oregon Coast towns that has a main street off Highway 101, giving organizers the option of a pedestrian friendly route. “It allowed us the opportunity to create a scene for this to happen,” she said, “and create a space for an old-time Christmas.” Main Street will be closed to traffic from 5 to 7 pm to give guests a safe place to stroll from business to business, enjoying treats, listening to music, chatting and trying their hand at various crafts. Toledo City Councilor Jill Lyon said the city also accelerated its plans to develop a park at the foot of Main Street, creating a space for a Christmas Tree that will be lit at 6 pm on Saturday, in a ceremony led by Mayor Ralph Grutzmacher. The husband and wife team of Lyon

and Grutzmacher will be among the many people in full Victorian garb for the event, having attended Gayle’s costume workshop at SolaLuna Gallery in preparation. “It’s hard to get in and out of a car, I’ll tell you,” said Lyon, whose outﬁt includes a formidable hoop skirt that leaves a trail of devastation in its wake. Gayle said the workshops saw participants whip up 19th Century outﬁts from the most unusual objects — like bonnets made out of old vinyl placemats. “For me, the costumes make it all the more fun,” she said, “and it’s probably the most daunting part for a lot of people.” But costumes are by no means required to enjoy the evening. Folks of all ages are invited to come along in everyday clothes. Gayle said she will also have a few top hats, bonnets, collars and cravats to lend out to people who want to improvise a costume at the last minute. “Just walk the street in a bonnet and a top hat and you are good to go,” she said. “The key is people,” Lyon said, adding: “I would like to see hundreds of people — costumed or not — walking up the street and enjoying themselves.” The festivities will begin at 4 pm with a performance of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” by the Traveling Lantern Theater Company. The show, designed for kids, will take place at the Toledo Public Library, 173 NW 7th Street. At 5 pm, the action shifts to Main Street, with an opening ceremony including bell ringing and Christmas carols. After the ceremony, groups of carolers will roam the street, performing as they go, with the Sweet Adelines barbershop group joined by the

Pick(wick) and choose 4 PM: A Christmas Carol at the Toledo Public Library 5 PM: Official Opening with the ringing of the bells 5:30-7 PM: Santa at The Gallery 6 PM: Tree Lighting at the south end of Main Street 7-9 PM: Father Christmas at The Gallery

Throughout the evening Caroling with The Sweet Adelines and The Rusty Rovers Crafts with kids: Quilters Cottage Vintage Train Display: Yaquina Hotel Reception & festivities: SolaLuna Gallery Hand print keepsakes and reception:

Rusty Rovers men’s duo. The Gallery on Main Street will have not one but two Santas on duty throughout the evening, with the Oﬃcial Red Santa entertaining visitors from 5:30 to 7 pm and Father Christmas taking over from 7 pm onward. Strolling the street might also result in a chance meeting with Tiny Tim himself, one of Dickens’ most enduring characters, complete with crutch and well-practiced English accent. At the Yaquina Hotel, a range of vintage Victorian era model trains will be on display, giving guests an insight into how Dickens

Sarah Gayle with a vinyl placemat enjoying a new life as a Victorian bonnet

would have traveled on his two tours of the US. Craft activities will be on offer at both Quilters Cottage and Clay Works, where kids can make a keepsake ornament to take home as a souvenir of the day. And Impressions Pacific, newly opened in the Leader Building at the top of Main Street, will be offering Victorian-style photograph portraits so that handsome top hat can be more than just a memory. All costumed guests are also invited to drop by Main Street Mercantile to have their photo taken for judging in the costume contest, where a $100 gift certificate is up for grabs. Father Christmas will announce the winners at 9 pm. Dining options for revelers include a traditional Christmas dinner at Gracie Mae’s (call 541-336-2811 for reservations); bangers and mash at Holy Toledo Tavern; and beer and barbecue at Pig Feathers BBQ and the Twisted Snout Brewery. Gayle said the entire evening is designed as a way to celebrate community. “I want people to come out and play in our community and enjoy the fun of it,” she said. “This is what life is all about — getting out on the main street in a hoop skirt.”

Tally-ho! The Christmas Bird Count comes to Lincoln City The Audubon Society of Lincoln City is inviting everyone to join in its ďŹ rst ever Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, Dec. 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either out in the ďŹ eld or watching from the comfort of their own homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited that our Lincoln City area bird count will be part of this international eďŹ&#x20AC;ort for the ďŹ rst time in almost twenty years,â&#x20AC;? said President Jack Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participating in a Christmas Bird Count with a team is a great way for birders of all levels to enjoy a day outdoors and to sharpen their birding skills.â&#x20AC;? The Audubon Christmas Bird Count is the longest running citizen science project in North America, providing critical information on bird populations for the past 114 years. Count coordinator Dawn Villaescusa said the 15-mile-diameter Lincoln City observation area includes wonderful habitat diversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With ďŹ eld teams that include both enthusiasts and expert birders, we expect to be able to record a large number of bird species for our ďŹ rst count,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s count starts with a team organization meeting at 6:30 am Pig â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N Pancake at 3910 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City, and ends with results reporting and a hot meal

at 4 pm. Carpooling from Pig â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N Pancake to the ďŹ eld sites and all-day participation are encouraged but not required. Villaescusa said ďŹ rst-time count participants should bring binoculars if they have a pair, adding that the group has some available to borrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be prepared for a day outdoors on the Oregon Coast in the winter,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means warm clothes, rainwear, and waterproof shoes. The counts are generally held as scheduled, rain or shine. Bring a bag lunch and snacks. Most important, bring an enthusiastic attitude and a willingness to search quietly and patiently for birds.â&#x20AC;? Those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up for a day in the ďŹ eld can still participate in the count through the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Feeder Watchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, recording the birds observed in their backyards. For more information on the ďŹ eld trip or the Feeder Watch program, or to register, contact Villaescusa at 503-507-8457 or at d_villa@mail.com. Results from the count will be sent to the Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University where data from previous yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eďŹ&#x20AC;orts have been used to study changes in bird populations and wintering ranges. For a history of the bird count, go to birds. audubon.org/data-research.

Buy an orphan. No strings attached. Guests at the Tuesday, Dec. 17, concert at the Lincoln City Cultural Center will have the chance to leave with more than just memories of the Victorian Christmas music from performer John Doan. They will also have the chance to take home a piece of artwork or a collectible from the range of pieces left at or donated to the center, by placing a bid in the orphan art auction. “We hope to raise money for the Cultural Center’s annual campaign fundraiser and oﬀer a wide variety of options for the bidder,” Niki Price, the center’s executive director, said. “Please help us give these orphans a loving home.” Artwork on oﬀer includes ceramics: oils, including several small and unframed by Tracy MacEwan; acrylics, including large originals by Lee Reynolds; watercolors; photos; pastels; and collage. Collectible items include Barbies, and Star Trek memorabilia. Bidding will run from 10 am to 4 pm in the center’s Elizabethan Room and resume at 6 pm, allowing people to place bids before Doan’s performance as well as during the intermission.

Bid numbers can be picked up at the Information Center from 10 am to 4 pm and will be available in the Elizabethan Room in the evening. Top bidders will be notiﬁed by phone. Doan’s performance, “Christmas Unplugged — Reclaiming the Holiday Spirit,” aims to transport the audience back to a Victorian parlor with thoughtful and sometimes zany performances that include audience singalongs and whistle-alongs. Now in its 27th year, the show is a live version of Doan’s Emmy-nominated special “A Victorian Christmas,” seen nationally on PBS. Doan, an associate professor of music at Willamette University in Salem, makes use of dozens of authentic instruments, including harp guitar, classical banjo, ukelin, an early roller organ and an Edison phonograph. Doan’s performance will begin at 7 pm in the center’s auditorium at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $23 in advance, $25 at the door and include a dessert buﬀet. Children 12 and under can get in for $10. Proceeds from the concert will go to the center’s annual fundraising campaign. For more information, call 541-994-9994.

A group aiming to beautify the old Mary Harrison Elementary School building in Toledo is oďŹ&#x20AC;ering everyone the chance to make their mark on a massive mural that will take shape over the course of the winter. The Oregon Coast Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre & Youth Art Center is inviting the public to help out at a series of workshops that will see the creation of a 40-by-11 foot mural at the entrance to the building, which now houses the Flowerree Community Center and the Olalla Center for Families and Children. The group has experience in the ďŹ eld, having partnered with the City of Toledo in 2005 to build the largest mosaic mural in the state next to city hall. The new mural, which will consist of a ceramic, glass and pebble mosaic as well as some painted elements, will also repair the main staircase at the Olalla center. On Thursday, Dec.19, a public workshop from 5 to 8 pm in Suite 3 of

the Flowerree Center will give everyone a chance to lend a hand. Further workshops will be held at the same time and place on January 2 and 16. In a nod to the Flowerree Foundation, which helped purchase the building, the mural will depict children at play in the shadow of the Oregon Coast Range among a garden of giant ďŹ&#x201A;owers. Lawrence Adrian, art director and CEO of the Oregon Coast Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre & Youth Art Center, said the group hopes to get individuals, families and businesses to support the project by sponsoring a ďŹ&#x201A;ower and having their name appear on the stem or leaf. Individual or family sponsorship is available for $30 to $50, and business sponsorship from $50 to $100. Donations are tax deductible and should be mailed to OCCT, P.O. Box 538 Toledo, Oregon 97381, by Dec. 31. For more information, e-mail oregoncoastchildrenstheatre@gmail.com or call 503-790-0952.
