This week’s top five

LINCOLN CITY — You want to find that one last elusive Christmas gift. You want it to be something the recipient won’t be able to find anywhere else and you want to support local businesses while you’re at it. Oh, and if a harmonious a cappella group could serenade you as you shop, that would be great, too. If this describes your festive shopping mission, then beat a path to the Christmas Bazaar at the Lincoln City Farmers Market this Sunday. From unique stone knives to sequined dog harnesses, the crafters have something for almost everyone. And, if the crafts just don’t hit the spot for that difficult certain someone in your life, you can rest assured that a marionberry fritter makes a great stocking stuffer. See page 17

NEWPORT — Last-minute Christmas shopping can be exhausting work. And that’s why visitors to the Newport Farmers Market will be glad to see Herbert Jennings at the front door. Jennings, owner of the Old River Coffee Roastery, stands ready to fortify shoppers with a cup of any one of his gourmet creations — including the mighty Confluence Blend. Thus energized, shoppers will be able to peruse Herbert Jennings the market’s offerings — from artisan soaps to fresh winter vegetables — with a spring in their step. See page 17

LINCOLN CITY — All eyes may well be on the turkey in the run up to Christmas but the New Year promises life beyond the bird, with a clutch of offerings from the Culinary Center in Lincoln City. Learn how to make hearty winter soups or delicious fresh pasta, take a step into the world of Asian cuisine or explore the flavors of South America, all under the guidance of expert chefs and complemented by plenty of wine — purely for flavor, of course… See page 6

Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher

YACHATS — There are many ways to celebrate the Winter Solstice but none quite as satisfying as gathering up a massive pile of wood and setting ﬁre to it. Organizers of the annual Winter Solstice Bonﬁre and Celebration know all that wood gathering can build an appetite; and that’s why they also have a chili and cornbread dinner to help guests warm themselves from the inside, too. See page 22

ALL ALONG THE COAST — Time and tide wait for no man but, thanks to tide tables, we have know exactly where the water will be and when. And this weekend will see some ﬁne examples as King Tides hit the Oregon Coast. CoastWatch is looking for help cataloging these high tides through photography, so grab your camera, ﬁnd a safe spot and start snapping. See page 21

Human encounters

ne of the subtle pleasures of visiting Oregon’s publicly owned beaches is never knowing who you might meet there. Of course, Sonny the husky and I rarely meet anyone because we explore obscure beaches and typically at dawn when no one else is around. I would estimate I see another human about one out of every 100 times we visit. This is my preference. I have never much liked talking on the beach. Nevertheless, some human interactions occur, and I have found some of my best and most inspiring beach stories in these random encounters. There’s probably a cosmic reason for this infrequent convergence of like-minded beachcombers at obscure beaches at dawn (almost always involving dogs). I’ll vaguely deﬁne it as a language older than words and leave it at that. One such interesting encounter occurred a short

while back. It was a weekday early December morning and a light wind and rain blew as I pulled the truck into the parking lot. I saw two other vehicles, meaning the lot was jammed. Sonny and I made our way along a sandy trail into the dunes. I was thinking about the fake Christmas tree I had bought from a dead man in Astoria. At the moment it was twinkling in my classroom bringing tidings of joy to my tiny teenage tots with their eyes all aglow during the last weeks before the holiday vacation. We approached the crest of the dunes and I caught a glimpse of some outstanding winter waves rolling white out to sea. My vision then moved downward and standing directly in the path was a large white poodle with a dead black bird in her mouth. Sonny went up to it and the poodle spooked and I lost sight of it. I knew the dog’s owner was sure to follow and that meant I’d have to talk. A few seconds later, I beheld a semi-elderly man with longish hair tucked under a groovy wool cap. He was wearing a green rain parka emblazoned with an Oregon State Parks patch and carrying what amounted to a bindle loaded up with beach trash. I instantly sized him up for one of the countless of volunteers who execute the Great Oregon Beach Cleanup silently every day of their lives, not twice a year accompanied by media rigmarole. They are heroes. The man came up to me. The poodle still clutched the dead bird in its jaws. “You must be Sonny,” he said, petting my dog. “You’re Matt Love, right?’ he continued. “I thought I might run into you here one day, building a driftwood fort or something.” And so you did. We shook hands and struck up a conversation. I found out his name was Richard. I also learned he’d read some of my work and attended a presentation about “Gimme Refuge: The Education of Caretaker,” my 2010 memoir about teaching and serving as a caretaker of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. He was a former teacher himself, for decades, as was his wife. They had retired to Warrenton a while back, escaping the trauma of Seattle, but like all great teachers who retire, they never really retire from teaching. How could they?

The man told me he and his wife were going to open a new preschool. She was already working on appointing the interior of the space, and he was creating an outdoor play area. The area would have all sorts of cool things for children to do and learn from. He was even erecting driftwood forts in the area! What a school this is going to be! We talked a bit longer, about Tom McCall, my latest literary project and teaching gig, and then it was time to part. Sonny and I hit the beach and the man and his poodle walked toward the parking lot. I had unexpectedly talked to someone at the beach and it turned out fine. In fact, much better than fine. I met some inspiration for how to live now and when I retire from teaching, which, I like to think, I never will. Matt Love is the author/editor of 12 books about Oregon, including “Of Walking In Rain,” his account of one of the rainiest winters in Oregon history. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

Chop Shop: Get cookin’ at the Culinary Center in Lincoln City By Nancy Steinberg FOR THE TODAY

For those who like to eat, like to cook, or would like to like to cook, the Oregon Coast is home to a tremendous resource: the Culinary Center in Lincoln City, located on the top floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, commanding a spectacular ocean view. The city-run center has a bevvy of exciting classes and demonstrations planned in the coming months, perfect if you’re aiming to fulfill a New Year’s resolution to cook more or looking for an awesome gift for the chef or chef wannabe in your life. The culinary center began as a partnership between the city’s Visitor & Convention Bureau and local chef Rob Pounding of the Blackfish Café, who were brainstorming new ways to bring visitors to Lincoln City. Consistent with the city’s motto, “A Great Place to Try New Things,” they established the miniature cooking school and the idea really took off. In 2008 the center hired a full-time executive chef, Sharon Wiest, to take the helm of the facility and teach many of the classes. Now most of the center’s classes and other events are sold out. Wiest attributes the culinary center’s success at least in part to the region’s abundance of foodies. “The attitude here toward food — where it comes from, eating

locally and seasonally – is really ahead of much of the country,” she said. “I try to emphasize those things in our classes.” Participants run the gamut from those that don’t know chopping from mincing to those that can navigate any kitchen with their eyes closed. “Levels of experience are all over the map,” Wiest said. “You can just hang back and watch, or we give you the opportunity to do all the core techniques yourself.” Classes are generally limited to about 12 participants. A class at the culinary center is arguably the most fun you can have while wielding a knife and wearing an apron. One of the best meals I ate last year was a feast I helped prepare at a pasta-making class at the center. Those learning the joys of homemade ravioli that day included mother-daughter teams, couples and at least one “regular” who comes from California to take multiple classes every year. One local woman will attend her one hundredth culinary center class in January, Wiest said. Once the meal prep is done, students reap the rewards by dining on the multicourse meal they’ve helped prepare, along with wines. Participants get to take home left-overs and recipes. Some of the instructional events at the culinary center are demonstrations, at which participants watch the instructors undertake each step in the demo kitchen. These events, typically larger (up to about 24 students), are just as informative, and just as tasty, as participants still get to eat

the dishes prepared in front of them. The center holds their annual jambalaya cook-oﬀ in late February, a cooking class for kids over spring break (usually pizza making), and, new this year, a three-day Asian cooking class in April. Watch their website for further information. The center is also available for private events. A weekend at the beach with old

Plans are coming together for the following classes and demos to be held during the coming few months. All classes listed below are $55, including meal and wine or other beverages. Make sure to sign up early, before these classes sell out.

SATURDAY, JAN. 24, 11 AM – 2 PM HANDS-ON PASTA WORKSHOP Instructors: Chefs Sharon Wiest and Pati D’Eliseo You will not believe what you can make when you start with flour, egg, salt, and water. Get ready to play with your food.

SATURDAY, JAN. 17, 11 AM – 2 PM PACIFIC RIM DEMO Instructors: Chef Pati D’Eliseo and Sous Chef Donna Riani Asian menus are always popular at the LCCC. This demo class will likely include a Korean seafood pancake and Japanese and Chinese courses.

SATURDAY, JAN. 31, 11 AM – 2 PM HANDS-ON WINTER SOUP CLASS Instructors: Chef Sharon Wiest and Sous Chef Donna Riani This class will include a selection of hearty, seasonal soups, likely a squash option and a kale and sausage soup.

New Year is approaching fast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing with it the risk of the hasty resolution. Leave it too late and you could end up getting railroaded into something truly frightful, like taking up early-morning running or giving up chocolate. Much better to plan that resolution ahead of time; and Oregon Coast Community College is here to help as it unveils a busy term full of community education classes, with something to interest just about everyone. The lineup includes French Conversation, Turkish History and Culture, Mussel Harvesting and Preparation, Spanish for Beginners, Basic Computer Skills and more. The Seatauqua series, launched in the fall term in cooperation with the HatďŹ eld Marine Science Center, continues on a reduced schedule for the winter term. Heather Fortner will be teaching a class on Nature Journaling on Jan. 13, and Paul Robertson will be leading a foraging expedition for mussels on a Lincoln County beach, and will provide tips for preparing this local delicacy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a 10-week guitar class taught by Richard Paris, of the Lincoln County band The Ocean, geared to a range of skill levels from beginner to experienced players. A full catalog of classes is included in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catch the Waveâ&#x20AC;? publication, due in Lincoln County mailboxes on Dec. 17.

ƞȳȳȺȷȼȵΎɂȳȼɂȶ˾ΎƪȳȺȯɆΎȯɂΎƞȯɂȶȽȻɁ Perched 10 stories above the beach, this Lincoln City restaurant offers incomparable views Story & by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ummer days on the Oregon Coast are something to behold but if you are looking for a show, bring on the winter, when storms whip the Paciﬁc Ocean into an awesome frenzy of crashing waves and churning surf. And what better place to watch the performance than from 10 stories up — snug and warm behind the wraparound windows of Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar, directly above the beach in Lincoln City. Perched atop the Inn at Spanish Head Resort Hotel, Fathoms has an unparalleled view of all the weather the Oregon Coast has to oﬀer. “We are front and center for all of it,” said Manager Lisa White. “We get the very best and, if you want to see a storm, we are front and center on that as well.” December 2012 brought in a real doozy, with 90-mileper-hour gusts dislodging tiles from the roof and sending the hotel’s sign clear across the entrance to the parking lot. All the while, secure behind the restaurant’s formidable windows, guests carried on with their dinners and perused the dessert tray. “We don’t get too excited at the 60 to 70 miles per hour,” White said, “but when we start talking 80 to 90, we think ‘whoa, it’s going to be a good one.’” Every so often, those strong winds would knock out the power, causing couples to huddle a little closer to enjoy an unplanned candlelit dinner. Those impromptu blackouts will be a thing of the past

come February, when the resort will install a generator capable of keeping the entire hotel and restaurant running during a power cut. And for people who like to watch a good storm but don’t feel like getting wet — even on the walk from the car — the restaurant oﬀers free valet parking. And, for drivers that prefer to retain control of their vehicle, the bellhops are also happy to shuttle guests back from the parking lot. Even in winter, the bellhops still ﬁnd time to head down to the beach and create sand art on request,

whipping up everything from birthday wishes to holiday greetings and even the occasional marriage proposal. The restaurant has just come through its first summer since Chef Ken Martin and his team revamped the menu for both the bar and restaurant. The new menu has a more Mediterranean theme, with Martin changing up the preparations for the restaurant’s range of fresh seafood — offering grilled wild Pacific salmon with a choice of tarragon

butter sauce or mustardhorseradish vinaigrette. The seared sea scallops come with pancetta, stewed leeks and tomatoes in a chardonnay-cream sauce while the pan-roasted cod is topped with feta cheese, olives, sun dried tomatoes and pistachios. While it specializes in seafood, Fathoms also oﬀers a variety of meat options, from USDA Choice and Prime steaks to a chicken breast stuﬀed with boursin and manchego cheeses, roasted garlic and arugula. On Fridays and Saturdays,

the restaurant offers slowroasted Angus prime rib served with horseradish sauce and au jus. With the new line up enjoying excellent reviews, Martin has just finished making a few further adjustments to the lounge food. Those changes included adding beef tenderloin tips to a menu that already includes bay shrimp, prawn and Dungeness crab cocktails, two sizes of Dungeness crab and artichoke dip and tasty, bacon wrapped dates. Heartier meals include the half-pound Inn Burger and fish and chips. White said another bar favorite that becomes especially popular in winter are the steamer clams, served with broth and artisan bread. “Those bowls come back awful clean,” she said. The bar’s liquid refreshments also come into their own during the winter months, with hot chocolate and coffee served from 7 am onward — perfect for those early morning beach walkers who need a warming pit stop. White said people

are more than welcome to hop in to the elevator at beach level and take a quick trip up to the restaurant or bar for a hot drink. “I’ve seen some cold folks out there,” she said. The restaurant oﬀers an early bird special menu from 4 to 5:30 pm, with items from $10.50 to $16.95. White said that since the clocks went back for winter, early bird dining comes with a view of the sunset — leading to people waiting at the door at 4 pm. Even in the winter months, reservations are still recommended for people hoping to enjoy dinner 10 stories up from the beach. “We will get you in,” White said. “But we do hold tables for the reservations needed and most do request windows, so give us a call.” Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar is located at the Inn at Spanish Head, 4009 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For details and reservations, call 541994-1601 or 800-452-8127. To book lodging reservations or learn more about the hotel, go to www.spanishhead.com.

Seasonal spreads Fathoms will be hosting a Christmas buffet from noon to 7 pm on Thursday, Dec. 25, offering everything from prime rib and leg of lamb to roasted salmon and Alaskan cod cakes with range of side orders and desserts. $34.95 for adults; $14.95 for children 10 and under; and free for under 5s. The New Years day Brunch offers the chance to start the year out right, with made-to-order omelets, Belgian waffles and prime rib for starters. Seatings from 9 am to 1 pm. $27.95 for adults; $14.95 for 5-to 10-year olds; and free for under 4s. The Inn at Spanish Head • Photo by Pam Streeby Astley

on stage

This one will sleigh you What begins with a little white lie quickly spirals into all-out mayhem this Thursday, Dec. 18, as Lincoln City’s Theatre West raises the curtain on its Christmas show “Sorry, Wrong Chimney.” The play begins with a wellmeaning fib from David Tuttle, who tells his wife he’s working late at the office when he’s really moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy her a fur for Christmas. Once she discovers the deception, the story snowballs to include a suspected other woman; hypnotism; the notorious Santa burglar Kris Kreigle and his gun toting fiancée; and one very confused policeman. Written by Leo W. Sears and Jack Sharkey, the play is directed by Rich Emery, fresh from his recent appearance in “Murder is a Game.” Shelby Barton plays David, with Karen Davis as his wife, Samantha. The rest of the cast includes Bryan Kirsch as William, Robin Kirsch as Natalie, Don Bambrough as Kris, Patti Siberz as Sheila and Steve Griffiths as the policeman. Bruce Mace is assistant

director, with Donna Morris as stage manager and Kate Daschel as lights and sound technician. The play will open on Thursday, Dec. 18, and run through Saturday, Jan. 17, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Doors open at 7:30 pm, with curtain at 8 pm sharp. There will be no shows on Thursday, Dec. 25, or Thursday, Jan. 1. On Sunday, Dec. 28, there will be a 2 pm matinée, with doors opening at 1:30 pm. The traditional New Year’s Eve Gala will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 31, with champagne, food and post-show entertainment. Doors open at 7:30 pm and tickets are $50 per person. For reservations, call 541-994-5663 and leave a message. Tickets for regular performances are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and students; and $9 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $10 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101.

Stream of consciousness Michael Gibbons’ Yaquina watershed paintings on show in Newport

Story & photos by Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

The flamboyant beauty of the Oregon coast is found at our beaches — our dramatic cliffs, intricately carved rocky shores, tempestuous surf and undulating dunes. It’s hard to miss this profound and ubiquitous breathtaking scenery. But there is another beauty here in the hushed whisper of our rivers and estuaries, the serene backwaters and bucolic sloughs where the light changes from moment to moment and even the call of a bird can seem piercing. We sometimes need a reminder of the special magnificence of undulating marsh grasses and winding creeks. Luckily, there is artist Michael Gibbons. Gibbons’ solo exhibit of his oil paintings of sites in the Yaquina River watershed, “Yaquina,” on display now through Jan. 1 at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center on Newport’s historic Bayfront, is the perfect encapsulation of the understated magnificence of this gorgeous estuary. The exhibit includes 35 gem-like works painted over the course of more than 30 years. Most depict sites in Toledo, Eddyville and other points east of Newport, all in the watershed of the Yaquina River. Some of the sites are as modest as drainage ditches, some are spectacular vistas of salt marshes ringed by iconic evergreen trees. All capture the magical light and texture of the marshy parts of the watershed. The set of paintings on exhibit includes 14 small pieces that served as preliminary studies of Arnold Creek Estuary, a tiny sub-watershed of the Yaquina in Toledo in preparation for painting a larger piece commissioned in 1998 to hang in Mahonia Hall in Salem, the official Oregon governor’s mansion. “These were small studies to get acquainted with the place, with the light and how it changes over the course of a day,” Gibbons said. He was also scoping out appropriate sites for painting en plein air, or outdoors, Gibbons’ preferred painting habitat. The others were painted over the course of decades, reflecting Gibbons’ affection for his adopted home. “It’s a survey of a place,” he said. “The works were not initially intended as such but having such abundant subject matter and beauty could not

be ignored.” It is clear, upon viewing these works all together, abiding interest in protecting more of the Yaquina watershed. that Gibbons is providing a voice for this placid piece of the “There has been a long-standing partnership historically central coast. between conservation and arts, and the Yaquina paintings “Familiarity with the area and with many of the people has were an inspiration to work on something together,” said the given me the opportunity for a much closer look at the views conservancy’s Fran Recht. This partnership has already resulted and an intimacy with the nature of place,” he said. in two joint presentations and receptions in conjunction with The collection is at once diverse and cohesive.

One bonus of having the exhibit at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center is that museum-goers need only look out the bay windows of the museum to see where the quiescent river ends up: in our bustling bay, buzzing with fishing boats, research vessels, tourists and fish-processing plants. Gibbons’ affinity for his home geography prompted him to explore partnerships with local conservation groups, the Central Coast Land Conservancy in particular. Many of the sites he has painted, including Arnold Slough, are protected by the Michael Gibbons at the “Yaquina” exhibit conservancy, which has an

Get the inside story Scoop up unique gifts at the coast’s indoor farmers markets

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

During summer on the Oregon Coast, it’s just about impossible to drive 10 miles down Highway 101 without passing a farmers market, with stalls packed with fruit and vegetables — tempting customers to pull over and start shopping. With winter thoroughly upon us, most of those markets have long since packed up. But, for people still looking for that perfect Christmas gift, the markets in Lincoln City and Newport are open for business and ready to serve.

Lincoln City Sunday, Dec. 21, will see vendors at the Lincoln City Farmers Market pull out all the stops for their Christmas Bazaar, with an appearance by Santa Claus, face painting, makeand-take ornaments and live music from the Lincolnaires. The event is something of a last hurrah for the group, who, come January, will be taking a break that will see the market closed through March. At the Dancing Mermaids booth, Nancy Burke said the handmade hats crafted by her daughter Lori Lemons are selling well. “Winter is here and people are interested,” she said. “People don’t use umbrellas at the coast.” Sitting alongside a range of jewelry and inﬁnity scarves, Lemons’ hats come in a variety of styles, including hand-felted varieties that Burke said hold up well in the rain. “If you get sopping wet, you come home; sit it on a bowl; and let it dry,” she said. Nearby, Scott Livesay of Sea Life Ceramics oﬀers handcrafted cups and

pots as well as almost unlimited variations on his signature sea star sculptures. “I always laugh,” he said, because Scott sells sea stars by the sea shore.” The next stall over is Bling Diva Too — run by Livesay’s mother, Ireta Murphy, who oﬀers what are probably the world’s jazziest dog harnesses, all rendered in bright colors and bedecked with sequins. A former belly dancer, Murphy started down the doggie bling path when performing in Portland and sharing a trailer with her fourlegged friend. “People said you have to make your dog a costume,” she said. The market takes place every Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Guests who feel their blood sugar dropping as they browse can swing by the Depoe Baykery booth for donuts, cookies or even a loaf to take home.

Newport Meanwhile, snug inside the main exhibit hall at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds, vendors at the Newport Farmers Market oﬀer everything from fresh produce and artisan breads to jewelry and handcrafted soap. Linda Cline, who serves as

Bernadette shines at Bling Diva Too

market treasurer as well as selling jewelry at her Bead Chicas booth, said the market gets a big boost during holiday season. “It’s a busy time for most of us who do gifts,” she said. “But, because we have such a large local clientele, we depend on our produce vendors.” One such vendor is Growing Together Farms of Philomath, whose beautifully arranged booth is overﬂowing with winter vegetables. Staﬃng the booth, Cheryl Horton said that while summer brings a lot of visitors to the outdoor market, local regulars are what keep the vendors going through the winter. “It’s really nice to be able to bring a good amount of bounty

throughout the year,” she said. “Our greens come through winter, kale, chard, arugula — and leeks, too.” “Then there’s the parsnips that you don’t get till the last week of the outdoor market,” Mary Beth Rew added. “People for the last month of the market are like ‘when are you going to get the parsnips?’” Over at the LavanderWerks Farms booth, master soap maker Jayme Wassmuth is enjoying the warm, dry surroundings. While popular with visitors, Wassmuth’s all-natural, glycerinbased soaps are also a big seller in the run up to Christmas. And, right by the front door Herbert Jennings of Old River Coffee Roastery is the first thing guests see when they enter the market, offering the option of a quick caffeine blast to fuel their shopping trip. Jennings, who roasts his beans just a couple of miles north of Siletz, sells his blends by the pound as well as by the cup —using the old-school filter method that has recently been re-branded as a “pour over” in trendy Portland coffee bars. “It’s called a drip and I charge $1.50,” Jennings said. “If I called it a pour over, I’d have to charge three bucks.” The Newport Farmers Market runs from 10 am to 2 pm every Saturday at the fairgrounds, 633 NE 3rd Street.

Capture the royal-ing ocean With the coast having just weathered a winter storm that saw wind-driven waters pound the shore, people could be forgiven for thinking the tides couldn’t possibly get any higher. But higher they will be when the coast experiences the first of three expected sets of King Tides from Sunday, Dec. 21, to Tuesday, Dec. 23. And for the fifth year running, CoastWatch is asking volunteers to get out their cameras and help trace the year’s highest tides as part of the King Tide Project. “Documenting the highest reach of the tides tells us something about areas of the natural and built environments which are subject to erosion and flooding now, said CoastWatch volunteer coordinator Fawn Custer. “It tells us even more about what to expect as sea level rises.” CoastWatch is asking volunteers who can get to the coast on the King Tide days to take shots when the tide is at its highest point. These photos can focus on any feature, with those that show the location of the tide in relation to the built environment such as roads, seawalls and buildings being especially useful in demonstrating impending threats. “The ideal photo would be taken from a location where the photographer can return later at an ordinary high tide to take a comparison shot,” Custer said. CoastWatch is making a special effort to organize photographers to document the reach

of the King Tides in the vicinity of the new marine reserves at Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua and Redfish Rocks. Anyone willing to help with this citizen science project should get in touch to receive directions. Volunteers will also be asked to keep their cameras handy for further King Tide events from Jan. 19 to 21, and Feb. 17 to 19. Participating photographers are asked to post their photographs on the project’s Flickr site at www. flickr.com/groups/ oregonkingtides. Those who don’t wish to use Flickr can e-mail their photo files to orkingtide@gmail. com. More information about the project, including links to tide tables and suggestions for posting photographs, can be found on the King Tide website, www.coastalatlas. net/kingtides. More information about the technical aspects of the project is available from Meg Gardner at the Oregon Coastal Management Program in Newport, who can be contacted at 541574-4514 or meg. gardner@state.or.us. At the conclusion of the project, a celebration will be held beginning at 5:30 pm on Friday, Feb. 20, at Rogue Brewery in Newport. The best of the King Tide photos will be shown; photographers will be on hand to comment; and there will be a special speaker. The event is free and open to all with some refreshments provided; and beer and meals available to buy. For information, contact Custer at 541-2700027 or fawn@oregonshores.org

winter solstice

Celebrate with a burn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or two Dance the night away The Yachats Academy is oďŹ&#x20AC;ering the chance to celebrate the winter solstice while being warmed from the inside as well as out, at a bonďŹ re celebration and chili feed set for Saturday, Dec. 20. The 4th annual Winter Solstice BonďŹ re and Celebration will mark the longest night of the year and the start of the gradual march toward summer. The celebration will start at 4 pm, with people gathering in the pavilion behind the Yachats Commons at 441 Hwy. 101 N. Sweet delights will be provided by the Yachats Ladies Club and there will be hot chocolate and coďŹ&#x20AC;ee. Impromptu music will liven up the evening. The Friends of the Yachats Commons Foundation will provide chili and cornbread in the pavilion for $5. There is no admission charge, but donations will be accepted and shared with the participating nonproďŹ t organizations. For more information, go to GoYachats.com/events or call 541961-6695.

The Winter Solstice, when the nights stop getting shorter and the world begins its journey toward lighter and longer days, is a time for reďŹ&#x201A;ecting on the past as well as looking hopefully to the future. In essence, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gig that could have been custom made for Newport-based jazz band Past Forward, who will be bringing their diverse repertoire to the Winter Solstice Dance on Sunday, Dec. 21. Hosted by the Lincoln County Historical Society, the rollicking celebration will take place from 4 to 7 pm at the PaciďŹ c Maritime & Heritage Center at 333 SE Bay Blvd on Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bayfront. Past Forward will perform a wide range of tunes from the 1920s through the 1960s, including jazz standards, show tunes, bossa novas and popular hits. In addition to dancing in

the Great Room, solstice revelers will get to enjoy refreshments and access to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibits and gift shop. Tickets are $8 for members and $10 for non-members. Proceeds will go toward renovation of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower ďŹ&#x201A;oor, which will feature a 140seat multi-purpose event venue, the DoerďŹ&#x201A;er Family Theatre, conference and exhibit space and a public elevator. Tickets can be purchased at the Burrows House Museum, PaciďŹ c Maritime & Heritage Center, or by calling 541-265-7509.
