Crying wolf in Tidewater A walk on the wild side at the White Wolf Sanctuary Story & photos by Nancy Steinberg for the TODAY

Ten spectacular, ghostly white creatures live in the hills above Tidewater east of Waldport, eagerly awaiting your visit. Be not afraid, although their eerie howls will raise the hair on the back of your neck. They are the Arctic wolves housed at the White Wolf Sanctuary, a 60-acre facility that provides a home for rescued wolves who have been injured, mistreated, or abandoned. The facility is the life’s work of Lois Tulleners, who came to love wolves when she and a partner adopted two wolfdogs many years ago. After caring for an Arctic wolf that came to a zoo where she volunteered, she knew that her calling was to help protect these beautiful animals. She established the sanctuary atop a mountain in the Coastal Range about twenty years ago. The wolves, all of which were born in captivity, come to her from a variety of situations. Some come from the illegal fur trade. Others now in her care were intercepted on their way to a sub-standard zoo. All are now healthy, well-fed, and thriving. The sanctuary is currently at capacity, with five male-female pairs kept in separate enclosures. The pairs can be rotated through the enclosures via an ingenious system of gates so that

they each get to experience the variations in habitat provided by each enclosure. Tulleners believes that with this many wolves at the sanctuary, it is more humane to pair them up than to keep them together in a pack, where the constant battle for dominance could take a toll on their health. Wolves mate monogamously for life, but at the sanctuary they are not bred. Because they mate exclusively during the month of February, the wolves are all separated at that time to prevent reproduction. Not surprisingly, the wolves eat a lot. They are fed both commercial dry food and game such as deer and elk, which comes either from road kill (thanks to a special state permit held by the sanctuary) or the largesse of local hunters, who often donate carcasses. Entrails are particularly important for the wolves’ health, Tulleners says, so these sources of meat are critical. While the wolves would not necessarily eat every day in the wild, they are fed multiple meals each day at the sanctuary to reduce stress. Food costs alone for the wolves are upward of $300 per day. A visit to the sanctuary begins with a meandering drive up a mountain road past multiple locked gates. Once on the sanctuary’s premises, the wolves can be spotted instantly, as they run to the fence lines to get a glimpse of the visitors. There is something primitive in my reaction to seeing the white figures loping through the trees and although I can’t wait to meet them, I’m a little comforted that they are behind a fence. No need for this reaction, I’m assured during the educational presentation that kicks off the tour: there has never been a documented case of a wild wolf killing a human being. Mostly, when wolves see people they simply run away. However, here at the sanctuary, visitors are virtually guaranteed as close an encounter with the wolves as they’d like. Most of the animals are not shy, eagerly approaching the fences to interact with Tulleners, her interns and members of tour groups. Careful instructions are given regarding how to approach the animals. “Stand up straight as you approach the enclosure,” warns Tulleners. “If you crouch, they think you are stalking them.” The most important thing to remember, she says, is to talk to the wolves. They will be most comfortable with you if they can hear your voice. So I talk, as if I’m talking to my dog, and I’m rewarded with an invitation to scratch a female named Sakkari. Her fur is surprisingly soft, with only a hint of the wiriness I expected from an essentially wild animal. I put my face to the fence, and she kisses me. They haven’t nicknamed this wolf “The Kissing Queen” for nothing. As the small tour group walks among the enclosures, the staff members describe the individual personali-

ties and stories of the wolves we see. Some are shy and don’t wish to be approached, but others clearly can’t wait to meet visitors. One of the most touching stories is that of Nepenthe, at fourteen years old the senior male at the sanctuary. His life-long mate (and sister), Ventana, died this past June, and he grew despondent. A stroke of luck brought a new female to the sanctuary later in the summer, and after an extended and tentative courtship, they finally coupled up. The new female’s name is, appropriately, Hope. Even better, Nepenthe’s name is Greek, meaning “end of sorrow, beginning of hope.” One of the main messages of the White Wolf Sanctuary is that protection is needed for these animals, and indeed all wolves in the wild. While Arctic wolves are not in as much trouble as grey wolves (their Arctic habitat is less accessible to humans), that habitat is still threatened, especially by global warming. Tulleners ponders, “Every night when I go to sleep I wonder if we’re going to have wolves left in the wild. I’m hoping they’re not all going to be behind a fence. My greatest hope is that someday places like this won’t exist because all wild animals will be wild again.” Tours of the White Wolf Sanctuary are offered daily in the afternoons, by appointment only. Admission is $30 for adults and $10 for children 15 and under. Call the sanctuary at 541-528-3588 to make a reservation; more information can be found at the sanctuary’s web site, www.whitewolfsanctuary.com.

Come in – come rain or shine Coastal markets shift indoors for year-round sales by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Thirty-four years ago, the idea of having an outdoor market where the public could buy produce directly from the farmer that grew it was pretty far outside the mainstream in Oregon. The wildness of the theory is laid out in letters between Oregon State University’s Lincoln County Extension and the University of Washington, in which horticulture experts ponder the concept of setting up a “farmers’ market” to make produce more readily available. In 1978 Newport became the second city in Oregon to host such a market, beaten by Albany by just two weeks. “I believe six farmers turned up at the fairgrounds,” said Katie McNeil of the Lincoln County Small Farmers Association, “and they were sold out in five minutes.” Now, farmers markets The Lincoln County Fairgrounds are one of the mainstays Farmers Market runs until the end of modern life, with some of March, every Saturday from 10 120 throughout the state am to 2 pm in the fairgrounds’ Exhibition Hall, 633 NE 3rd Street, and many along the coast.

Fairgrounds Farmers Market in the Exhibition Hall of the fairgrounds during the rainy season. Meanwhile, further north, the Lincoln City Farmers Market is embarking on its first full winter within the cozy confines of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, having experimented with indoor market days last year. “We love being inside,” said Lincoln City vendor Jayme Wassmuth. “It’s dry. It’s warm.” Wassmuth runs Lavenderwerks Farms, selling artisan soaps, many of which are produced using lavender from her farm in Siletz. “We have one of the best climates for it,” she said. While the cultural center auditorium is warm and dry,

If you go

the vendors are less visible than they were on the front lawn, meaning business is a little slower than during the summer months. Wassmuth said one of the challenges is to get customers used to the fact that the market operates year-round, adding that people who take the time to come into the auditorium are pleasantly surprised. “People are glad to see that it doesn’t just cut off,” she said. Market President Paul Mistretta, who sells coffee and treats including the devilish “Evil Cookies” from his booth, said the move indoors on Oct. 28 came not one minute too soon. “The last two outdoor markets we just got drenched,” he said. “The second to last one we were holding the tents down to keep them from blowing down the road.” Mistretta said the indoor market tends to have from 15 to 20 vendors each week, with more crafts and baked goods than produce. He said he hopes people will support the market yearround and allow it to continue to grow. “This is America right here,” he said. “Everything in here is made by the people that are in the booth. You know there’s no cheap Chinese imports here. We have people making their own soap,

people making their own donuts and putting jalapeños in them, people making their own Evil Cookies, people making their own jewelry, people making their own hats.” Ray Degele of Depoe Baykery, the creator of those jalapeño donuts, said his business would not be as successful as it is if not for the farmers’ market acting as a satellite outpost for his northern customers. “A lot of the Lincoln City locals know I’m here and buy their stuff so they don’t have to drive down to the bakery itself on the weekend,” he said. Back in Newport, McNeil said vendors there are also glad to be out of the rain. “I do baked goods,” she said, “and they are not waterproof by any means, not like lettuce.” She said the Exhibition Hall can accommodate up to 50 vendors and has been pretty much at capacity since the indoor market started at the end of October. A ban on open flames inside the building however caused the kettle corn vendor to set up outside, being firmly of the opinion that people won’t buy the corn if they can’t smell it cooking. McNeil said the indoor market helps make farming a viable option by providing farmers with an outlet for their crops all year long. That strategy seems to be working, with the market having added farmer vendors in the past year. Another advantage to year-round markets, she said, is to offer a consistent venue for startup businesses that can then grow into their own premises. “Of course the locals are delighted to have access to fresh-grown vegetables year-round,” she said, adding: “And they really love the covered, comfortable, dry shopping experience.” Above: Nancy Burke of Dancing Mermaids chats hats with a customer at the Lincoln City Market while Katie McNeil bags bread for a customer in Newport.

Museum makes a good point Trail project aims to highlight history of a coastal site that saw it all Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

If the history of the Oregon Coast, from uninhabited wilderness through Native American civilization to pioneer settlement and industrialization, could be condensed to fit into less than a square mile, that area would probably look a lot like Kilchis Point. The 200-acre site, located on the shores of Tillamook Bay at the south edge of Bay City, supported one of the Oregon Coast’s largest Native American settlements, became home to Tillamook County’s first white settler and was the birthplace of the first ship registered in the Oregon Territory. “It’s kind of a Disneyland of possibilities,” said Gary Albright, director of the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, which is in the midst of a project to make the site’s history accessible through a system of trails, interpretive signs and educational buildings. While full completion of the project is some years out, the trails through the site have been cleared and are open to any visitor with a stout pair of boots and the desire for sweeping bay views. The museum was given the land in 2002 by The Trust for Public Land, which bought it with money from an anonymous donor who wanted to protect the area’s history and natural resources. Thanks to help from the Ford Family Foundation, walkers arriving at the completed trailhead are greeted by maps and signs detailing the area’s historical highlights as well as a short section of paved trail. Beyond that, the trails make for a muddy but flat walk through forest and wetlands on their way to Doty Creek, which walkers can follow westward to the shore of the bay. Caitlin Heusser, the museum’s cultural heritage manager, said the plan is to extend the paved

portion to create a short loop trail that is ADA accessible. The remainder of the trails will be gravel, with boardwalk sections through the wetlands. “The flora and fauna that’s there is just amazing,” she said. “And there isn’t a whole lot of natural area along the coast anymore, so much of it is being developed.” Albright said the area’s rich natural resources were so important to the local Tillamook Indians that word of Kilchis Point made its way to explorers Lewis and Clark, whose expedition reached the coast some 60 miles north in 1805. In 1851, the point became home to the first pioneer settler in what would later become Tillamook County. Joseph Champion arrived in Tillamook Bay by whaling ship, reportedly receiving a warm welcome from Chief Kilchis of the Tillamook tribe, who suggested the new arrival make his home inside a massive, hollow spruce stump until he could build a more permanent

Violinist returns to take a bow When rock violinist Aaron Meyer last played in Lincoln City, in October, he played two sizzling sets to a full house. If you missed it, the Lincoln City Cultural Center has a holiday present for you: Meyer is coming back, playing holiday favorites along with his longtime collaborator, Tim Ellis. Their concert is scheduled for 7 pm on Wednesday, Dec. 19, in the LCCC auditorium. Meyer is a classically trained violinist who debuted with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 11. He has soloed with major international symphony orchestras and ballet companies, in addition to performing for many world leaders and dignitaries. Meyer has recorded nine albums thus far, including his latest CD of original music entitled “The Journey… not the Destination” which features his own compositions and dynamic arrangements inspired by his passion for world travel and culture. Tim Ellis is a professional guitarist, award winning composer, music producer and owner of Kung Fu Bakery Recording. He has played on recordings for “ Val Gardena” (Polygram Records), “Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning” (Windham Hill and Hearts of Space), “Tom Grant” (Verve Records) and “Craig Carothers” (Atlantic Records). Meyer and Ellis have recorded a new CD of their original music and arrangements, “Two Sides to Every Story.” It features their full band and full orchestra, along with 28 members of the Oregon Symphony, conducted by Jeff Tyzik. Tickets for the Dec. 19 show are $15 in advance or $17 at the door and are on sale now at the LCCC, 540 NE Hwy. 101, or over the phone at 541-994-9994. The LCCC box office takes cash, check, VISA and Mastercard. As always, children 12 and under are admitted free.

Coastal property prices have taken a hit in the past few years, but $2 seems like a steal even for a home that is admittedly a little on the small side. The dollhouse, which cost more than $1,000 to build and furnish, is up for grabs in the Newport Senior Center Association’s Miracle On Second Street raffle, with tickets just $2 apiece or $5 for three. Tickets are available at the center, 20 SE 2nd Street in Newport, with the drawing to be held on Friday, Dec. 21. All proceeds will go to support the center’s Reader’s Theatre book publication. For dollhouse viewing times, call 541-265-9617.

Refreshments will be provided at the intermission. Winter solstice is the official first day of winter and has been a special moment of the year for many centuries. Cultures around the world have marked this occasion in many ways and the winter solstice is often seen as a time of hope and reflection. This event is sponsored by The Friends of Driftwood Public Library, The Driftwood Library Foundation and Starbucks Coffee Company. The celebration is scheduled for 7 pm in the Driftwood Public Library Distad Reading Room. The library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln City Hall building at 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or via e-mail at kenh@lincolncity.org.

When someone offers to give you the lowdown on volcanoes that erupt off the Oregon Coast, you should listen. NOAA scientist Dr. Bob Dziak will cover undersea volcanoes and more in a presentation entitled “Detecting and Quantifying Deep-Ocean Volcanic Eruptionsâ€? at the Thursday, Dec. 20, meeting of the Yaquina Birders & Naturalists. Dr. Dziak is the leader of NOAA’s Ocean Acoustics Project, which, for the past 20 years, has used hydrophones to study the sounds of underwater volcanoes and associated earthquake activity.  Initially, the program focused on using U.S. Navy hydrophones to detect earthquakes caused by volcanic eruptions off the Pacific Northwest coast.  More recently, portable hydrophones have collected records of explosions from submarine volcanoes in the western Pacific. Other sounds have also been recorded, ranging from ice-quakes caused by the break-up of sea ice to sounds of icebergs as they run aground to the vocalizations of large whales.  The presentation, which is free and open to all, is scheduled to start at 7 pm at the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room, 2129 North Coast Highway, in north Newport. For more info, call 541-265-2965. A great diversity of volcanic chimneys, seen at Mata Tolu. Image courtesy of MARUM, University of Bremen and NOAA-PaciďŹ c Marine Environmental Laboratory.

holidays

Setting the scene for Christmas Window dresser helps businesses look their best for the holidays Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

There’s nothing like a new coat to help you look your best, and one Lincoln City area artist is doing his part to help businesses dress up for Christmas by adding a coat of paint to their windows. Lee Wagenknecht draws on his experience as a professional window dresser for Meier & Frank during the ’60s and ’70s when devising ways to help storefronts shine during the long winter nights. The 71-year-old has fond memories of building sets, dressing mannequins and doing everything he could to make the downtown Portland store stand out from the competition. “We would stay there late, decorating the whole store in the wee hours of the morning,” he said. It was while at the Portland store, now Macy’s, that Lee met his wife of 34 years, Kris, who was working in the domestics department. “We always joked that we met between the sheets,” she said. Lee’s artistic talents stood the couple in good stead during the early days of their marriage, when he would sell drawings for $25 apiece to pay for groceries. “He kept us eating because he could draw,” Kris said. Now, the couple work as a team to offer Lee Wagenknecht

Lee’s distinctive window murals to local businesses. Lee puts his skills to work to mark all major holidays, but Christmas is without doubt his busiest time of the year. The couple moved to Otis in 2005, when Lee retired from a second career in a machinist shop to help care for Kris’ elderly mother. While his new role as caregiver certainly kept him busy, it left him with no outlet for his creative spirit. In 2006, he took a chance and asked the Otis postmaster if he could paint a Christmas scene on the post office window. She said yes and, although there was no money involved, the job served to get Lee noticed as an artist. “I saw what he was doing,” said Jeff England, owner of the adjacent Otis Café, “and said ‘hey, paint my windows, too.’” England said Lee never set a price for the work and always let him pay what he thought was fair. “It’s not really a business,” Kris said. “We lose money by the truckload.” In theory, she said, Lee paints the first window for free to show the quality of his work and then charges $25 apiece for further windows. But the couple rarely sticks to their fee schedule, making whatever deals and bargains are needed to keep Lee’s brushes moving and the area’s windows popping. After the economy crashed in 2008, Kris said, Lee painted windows for $5, just enough to pay for the gas needed to get the truck to the next stop and the next job. Once, the couple

accepted an old reclining chair in payment, hauling it to their church to donate it to a family in need. “We do have a flat rate but we rarely use it,” she said. “Because every single customer is different.” “It’s our way of promoting Lincoln City,” she added. Lee said the couple’s extreme flexibility has left some people reluctant to take them up on their offer, suspecting there must be a catch. “They have a hard time trying to grasp that,” he said. “They think I’m conning them or something.” But customers like Staci Rae of the Herb Store in Lincoln City attest to the fact that Lee simply loves to paint and won’t let money, or the lack of it, get in the way. She said the couple started off doing some landscaping work for the store before Lee persuaded the owners to give him a shot at the windows. “He does awesome, awesome work,” she said. To schedule a window painting appointment with Lee, call 541-994-7062.

naturalist’s calendar Balancing the scales between human and salmon Should the state allow a road realignment project that leaves no way for salmon to make their way up Cougar and Eddy Creeks between Eddyville and Toledo? That’s the question officials at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) are mulling after receiving a request from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to waive the fish passage requirements that Oregon law imposes on road projects that impact salmon bearing streams. ODOT has proposed installing rock buttress fills at five stream crossing locations to stabilize the new highway alignment of Highway 20 between Eddyville and Toledo. The agency says it is unable to provide fish passage at these locations given the unstable slopes and steep buttress fills associated with the project. Both Cougar and Eddy Creeks are headwater tributaries of the Yaquina River. ODFW’s Greg Apke said his agency may grant waivers if fish passage mitigation provides appreciable benefits to native fish compared to providing passage at the project locations. To mitigate for the impacts to native fish, ODOT has proposed participating in restoration, enhancement and preservation activities at three properties in Poole and McCaffery Sloughs, located in the Yaquina River Estuary. Apke said ODFW is recommending granting the waiver but is continuing to solicit public comments that it can consider before making the final decision. Members of the public will have until Dec. 31 to submit written comments on the proposed plan. Details on the ODOT fish passage waiver request, the ODFW net benefit analysis and waiver agreement can be found on the ODFW fish passage website, www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/passage. Members of the public can send written comments to or request additional information from Greg Apke, ODFW Fish Passage Program coordinator, 3406 NE Cherry Ave. NE, Salem, OR, 97303, e-mail, Greg.D.Apke@state.or.us, or by calling 503-947-6228.

Get ahead of the steelhead With the first winter steelhead of the season beginning to arrive at some coastal rivers, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has released its 2013 Winter Steelhead Guide. The guide offers novice steelhead anglers an overview of where and when to fish during the upcoming winter steelhead season. For more experienced anglers, the guide also includes updates on access and regulations, and lists other changes that could affect fishing. Anglers will find the guide on ODFW’s website at www.dfw.state.or.us/RR/steelhead_guide/index.asp.

Digging deep for gift ideas? Chances are that most people are giving at least one Christmas gift this year that they know will end up in the trash, recycling or languishing in a closet within a month. But, give a friend or relative the gift of gardening and you will give them a skill that will reap rewards for years to come. Registration is now open for the 2013 OSU Master Gardener classes in Tillamook, two and a half months of horticulture training guaranteed to leave all participants with a green thumb. The class costs $300, but students willing to invest an equal amount of time helping other gardeners in the community can participate for just $100. That fee covers training and materials including a copy of “Sustainable Gardening,” the Oregon/Washington Master Gardener Handbook, a comprehensive 526-page tome written specifically for gardeners in the Pacific Northwest. The class, at Tillamook Bay Community College, will begin with an orientation from 9 am to noon on Jan. 8, with classes held from 9 am to 4:30 pm on Tuesdays starting on Jan. 15 with the last class on April 2. Class will not be held spring break week, March 26. Gift certificates for the classes are available at the OSU Extension Service in Tillamook and the recipient can complete the class registration once they have received their gift. To obtain a schedule and more information about the classes or a registration form, contact the OSU Extension Service, 2204 4th Street, Tillamook; phone 503-842-3433; or go to http://extension. oregonstate.edu/tillamook/what-master-gardener-program.

artsy Gibbons helps rig up maritime exhibition The Lincoln County Historical Society is seeking entries for a juried exhibition of maritime-related art as part of its upcoming exhibit “Ship to Shore: Objects of a Maritime Community,” which will open in early summer 2013 The exhibit, which will be shown in the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center, will feature a diverse range of stories and objects from the community, ranging from commercial fishing gear to art. All artists are welcome to participate in the juried exhibition and can submit up to six works in any medium, but the theme must be maritime-related and focus on the Central Oregon Coast. Art remains the property of the artist, but the artist must be willing to lend the piece to the Society for the yearlong exhibition. Artists can also donate or arrange for the gift of accepted art for the Society’s collection and use in future shows. Michael Gibbons, artist and curator of the Yaquina River Museum of Art, will assist the Society in selecting which entries to display in the exhibition. Digital images of the art should be submitted as jpegs on CD with a description of the work and the media used. Deadline for submissions is March 1. Disks should be sent or delivered to Michael Gibbons at 140 NE Alder Street, Toledo or to the Burrows House Museum, 545 SW Ninth Street, Newport. For more information, call 541-265-7509 or 541-336-2797 or e-mail coasthistory@newportnet.com or michaelgibbonsart@charter. net.

A celebration of the soggy There is little point complaining about the rain at the Oregon Coast. Better to spend that time and energy celebrating the lush, verdant landscapes created by all that liquid sunshine. One such celebration will be on display as part of the Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase and Video Archive at the Newport Visual Arts Center until Dec. 29. “Landscapes: On the Wet Side” is a series by Tillamook County artist Dennis Worrel, who moved to the Oregon Coast 14 years ago to work as a soil scientist. Worrel created the works in the late summer and fall of 2012, starting the process outdoors and finishing in the studio using mixed media including acrylic ink, fluid acrylic paint, graphite and watercolor pencil. “As an artist, I am attracted and challenged by the areas complexity of light, color, and texture, which can change dramatically over the day, and the ‘closeness’ of space,” he said. “I am interested in our perceptions of nature and the places we reside. One of my influences is Chinese landscape painting, especially regarding how space and time are conveyed. My working process consists of layering marks and fields of color, adding and subtracting, covering and revealing, a dialogue connecting the outer landscape and the self. Through these landscapes I hope to convey a timeless sense of place where nature can exist in both experience and imagination.” Worrel has a master’s in Fine Arts from San Francisco Art Institute and has recently shown at Portland’s Gallery 114. He has won several art awards including a judge merit and purchase at the Umpqua Valley Arts Association’s Plein Air Competition and Exhibition earlier this year. A video of the artist’s technique and other work will be shown on the touch screen computer near the showcase. The exhibit, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will run until Dec. 29, with the showcase and video available for viewing from noon-4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday on second floor of the Visual Arts Center, 777 N Beach Drive, Newport.

in concert Breaking the cello mold The Portland Cello Project will play their Newport premiere on Saturday, Dec. 15, but don’t be surprised if the music doesn’t sound like any cello ensemble you’ve ever heard before. Since the group’s inception in late 2000, the Portland Cello Project has wowed audiences all over the country with extravagant performances, mixing genres and blurring musical lines and perceptions wherever they go. No two shows are alike, with a repertoire of more than 900 pieces of music not normally performed by a cello or cello ensemble. The group’s stage setup ranges from the very simple — four to six cellos — to the very ambitious, with as many as 12 cellos playing with full choirs, winds, horns and numerous percussion players. The concert, hosted by the Newport Symphony Orchestra, will be held on at 7:30 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street in Newport. The Newport Symphony Orchestra will not be performing on Dec. 15 but will return to perform an evening of operatic works on Jan. 26 and 27 in Newport under the direction of Music Director Adam Flatt. Tickets to the Newport concert are $34 and $20, or $10 for students. For reservations, call the Newport Performing Arts Center box office at 541265-2787.

Come on in to hear Kids Sing Out

Yachats holds choir concert

As its name might suggest, “A Light’s Blink’n, Bell Ring’n, Sweet Dream’n, Carol Sing’n Christmas,” aims to pack a lot into one show. The Christmas performance by Kids Sing Out will grace the stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Dec. 14, 15 and 16, with musical numbers ranging all the way from “Reggae Christmas” to “Silent Night.” Artistic director Valerie Kendall has blended traditional songs with contemporary music for the show, which, thanks to a partnership with Nicole O’Brien of Ballet and Dance of Lincoln City, will also see young ballerinas take to the stage. Participants include Angelina Berlingeri, Haley Callin, Winter Callin, Fiona Eyman, Dylan Myers, Rowan Myers, Avery Nightingale, Margery Price, Alyson Pringle, Delpheen Kimbrough, Chloe Kay Stroud, Corey Van Damme and Juliette Vold. The show will be capped by short musical entitled “Destiny,” an adaptation of a classic old American story, “A Tale of Three Trees,” written by Kendall and her husband, John. The musical is a metaphorical story of young trees that long to know their destiny. Their dreams come together by special inspiration from the natural forest where they live, and then one by one their dreams are lost, destroyed, even crushed. The play ultimately reveals the mystery of how even broken dreams can play into a larger story and bring fulfillment. The characters are three trees, three woodcutters and a Christmas Mary and Joseph. The trees are Anna Morgan, Joshua Morgan and Julie Bradley. John Nightingale, Brandt England and Tye England play their woodcutter rivals. Joseph is played by Stan Michaelson and Mary by Kelli Westmark. The show is produced by Flying Fish Productions, which is sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Lincoln City and supported by many other community churches and the cultural center. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door and are on sale at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101, 541-994-9994. Attendees are also asked to bring two non-perishable items of food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry. Performances are set for 7 pm on Friday Dec. 14, and Saturday, Dec. 15, and 3 pm on Sunday, Dec. 16. A portion of every ticket sold helps launch Family Promise of Lincoln County and helps support the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

The Yachats Community Presbyterian Church will present A Celebration of Carols on Sunday, Dec. 16, at 4 pm. This festive holiday program features the Chancel Choir and hand bells in a celebration of the Christmas season through holiday readings and music. Guest artists include Mindy Simon and Ginia Strickland on violin, Yvonne Coopmans on viola and Sioux Boston on cello. Cheryl Waide directs the choirs and Betsy Maxfield is accompanist. A reception will follow the performance and donations will be accepted for South Lincoln Resources Holiday Food Baskets. The church is located at 360 West 7th Street. For more information, contact the church office at 541-547-3400.

Mice deliver a twist to Nutcracker tale One of the world’s best-known ballets has received a shake up at the hands of the Oregon Coast Ballet Company, whose “Little Nutcracker/MouseKing Remix” hits the stage in Newport on Dec. 21. While the traditional tale has the Mouse King’s army losing the crucial battle against the gingerbread soldiers, this year’s version will see the Mouse King emerging victorious and taking a whole troup of orphans to Candyland. The remixed version of Tchaikovsky’s 1892 classic stars Tyler Teich as the Mouse King, Lindi Hunter as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Domenica Gavin as Clara, Megan Morse as the Spanish Doll and a little surprise in the role of the Nutcracker. “This year we have a 4 year old in the title role,” Director Sian Zander said, “so he is the littlest Nut ever.” The show is scheduled for 7 pm on Dec. 21, 22 and 23 at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 West Olive Street. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors or students and are available at the PAC box office or by calling 541-265-ARTS.

Spring over to Newport for “The Mousetrap”

A big role for the big screen

A murder? A stately home full of dubious characters? A snowstorm? This can mean only one thing, “The Mousetrap” by the grand old dame of mystery, Agatha Christie. The interactive dinner show by the Newport High School Drama Club transports diners to Monkswell Manor, an English bed and breakfast that quickly becomes a murder scene, with each of the eight guests a possible suspect. Diners will be able to watch the play unfold from their tables, trying to piece together the clues as well as plying their waiter or waitress with questions to determine whether they are the killer. The club will stage six performances of the interactive show, each with dinner provided by a local restaurant. All performances will be in the Robinson Theatre at Newport High School on 4th Street, with tickets priced at $15. Show times are as follows: Friday, Dec. 14, 6:30 pm, dinner provided by Rogue Brewery; Saturday, Dec. 15, 1:30 pm, lunch provided by the Savory Cafe and Cafe Mundo; and Saturday, Dec. 15, 6:30 pm, dinner provided by Izzy’s. For reservations contact Amber Houck or Deborah Zirin at Newport High School, 541-265-9281.

One legendary actor will take on another in Newport on Sunday, Dec. 16, as academy award winner Christopher Plummer tackles the role of John Barrymore, one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time. “Barrymore” will screen at 2 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Set in 1942, the final year of Barrymore’s life, the film takes place on the stage of a Broadway theatre, where the actor is struggling to recreate his performance in the title role of Shakespeare’s Richard III. It leads him to look back on the highs and lows of his stunning career and remarkable life. “Barrymore” was written by William Luce, author of “The Belle of Amherst,” “Baptiste,” “Bronte,” and “Lucifer’s Child” and is directed and adapted for the screen by Érik Canuel (“Bon Cop, Bad Cop”). “Be grateful to William Luce,” If you take snacks to The Barn Community Playhouse this weekend, be writes the New York Times, “… he sure not to choo-choo them too loudly — you might ruin your neighbor’s has provided Plummer with the enjoyment of “The Christmas Express.” chance to create a portrait of rivetA comedy full of puns, one-liners, funny situations and nutty characters, From ‘The Christmas Express’ ing complexity and paradox that “The Christmas Express” is set in the town of Holly and a run-down train finds balletic elegance in a drunken depot, which is sorely in need of some Christmas spirit. A stranger named stagger, poetry in a blue joke and churning guts in rarified verse. As fluid, stinging and warming Leo comes to town, bringing surprises and, ultimately, hope to one and all. as a Manhattan cocktail.” The cast includes Brittany Durrer, Samantha Swindler, Barbi Fox, Deb Cherry, Joni SauerLuce, who now lives and writes in Depoe Bay, will give a talk before the performance at 1:30 Folger, Richard Coon, Robert Buckingham, Robert Kratz and Mark Johnson.

After the show, there will be a special screening of the documentary “Backstage with Barrystarts at 7 pm on Dec. 14, 15, 21 and 22 and at 2 pm on Dec. 16.

Disc jockeys: Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

The golfer surveys the course, gauging the distance and angle of the shot before choosing from the array of options in his caddy. Focusing on the target, he draws back and releases a powerful drive that sails long, long — too long. Rats. Now he has to clamber down into the ravine to retrieve his Frisbee. Wait a minute. Ravine? Frisbee? Someone call the greenskeeper. Not so fast. The golf on offer at Newport’s newest course is not the game your granddad played, so strap on your ruby-colored golfing shoes because we are not What: Wilder Disc Golf Park in St. Andrews anymore.

Instead of holes, the targets are poles rigged with chains that catch wellaimed discs and guide them into a metal basket below. With the snip of a ribbon on Dec. 5, the Central Oregon Coast gained its first public disc golf course — 18 “holes” nestled in rugged woodland next to Oregon Coast Community College’s Newport campus. The opening of the course fulfills a longtime dream for Cameron Rouenhorst, Nate Sexton Newport resident, park ranger and former disc golf pro, who together with some fellow golfers was the first to start tossing discs in the woods. “We came out here before there was baskets or anything,” he said. “Just put in PVC pipes.” Rouenhorst said the group used the area’s old logging roads as fairways, and developed each hole as they went, often stopping mid game to wrestle branches out of the way. The rough and ready course moved to the next level when it was adopted as the class project for the Central Lincoln County cohort of the Ford Institute Leadership Program. Cohort member Alan Searle said turning the bushwhacked course into a facility suitable for public use involved a lot of work by a lot of people, including city officials, disc golfer pioneers, and Willie Emery and Bonnie Serkin, owners of

the adjacent Wilder development, who leased the course site to the city. A pro career that started in 1999 saw Rouenhorst play on disc golf courses across the world, including New Zealand’s Spa Park, which has the added attraction of hot springs on the 9th hole. He said Newport’s course will help develop the next generation of disc golfers. “This is going to bring out the young players,” he said. “I’m 35. There’s going to be 18- to 25-yearolds out there kicking my butt.” As if to prove the point, 27-year-old Nate Sexton traveled from Corvallis to play the course on the day of the ribbon cutting and promptly knocked three shots off Rouenhorst’s course record — completing the 18 baskets in just 44 throws. But Rouenhorst shouldn’t feel too bad. Sexton was named under-19s world champion in 2003, went pro in ’04 and is currently ranked 20th in the world. Sexton, who threw the first official drive on the course at the opening ceremony, said the hilly, forested terrain makes for a shorter and more technical course than the two in Corvallis. “There’s more elevation,” he said. “More ‘whoa, there’s a huge hole here.’” Just as regular golfers have a seemingly endless Gailon Bailey sizes up the 6th hole and, below, prepares for a drive. array of clubs, each designed for a particular type Bailey, who played a fair bit of disc golf while living in of shot, professional disc golfers have Texas, said people should not be put off by the wide range of an array of discs at their disposal. equipment on offer, adding that beginners can get by quite Sexton’s caddy, contained within easily with a single disc. a sleek, disc toting backpack, ranges “You really can’t throw the putters very far,” he said, “but from drivers that are designed with you definitely can putt with a driver.” a thin rim to cut through the air, to One thing that sets the Newport course apart from most the lighter and more bulbous putters, others is the sheer amount of trees that players must thread deigned to float straight and true their discs between on the way to the basket.
