This week’s top five

from the editor

NEWPORT — Nothing warms the heart quite like the sight of the Newport ﬂeet taking to the waters of Yaquina Bay illuminated by thousands upon thousands of fairy lights. And, as the ﬁnal glimmers of sun disappear behind the stately Yaquina Bay Bridge, nothing warms the body quite like a cup of hot cocoa from a bayfront vendor. Bundle up and join the fun this Saturday.

LINCOLN CITY — Saying the Fantasy of Trees is a collection of 23 Christmas trees is like saying the Portland Timbers are 11 dudes who

like to kick a ball around from time to time. See the outrageous creations in all their glory without spending a dime this Friday and Saturday — or get dressed up and take your pocket book out for the gala ball on Saturday night.

YACHATS — In among this week’s festive picks is something that’s less “Yo ho ho” and more “Oh Oh Oh!” as scandalous playwright Del Shores visits the innocent little town of Yachats for an evening of salacious stories in his “SINgularly Sordid” oneman show.

This party will leave you stoked Staff at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center in Newport are stoking up the fireplace in the Great Room in preparation for the Lincoln County Historical Society’s Holiday Gathering on Saturday, Dec. 5. The fun, casual and music-filled holiday mixer coincides with the annual Bayfront Lighted Boat Parade, with guests enjoying unparalleled views of the bay from the center’s deck. Attendees at this longstanding community tradition can also check out the museum’s exhibits. For those looking to do a little holiday

shopping, the gift shop will be oﬀering a special holiday discount only available during this event. The center’s gift shop has an outstanding selection of maritime and history publications as well as locally produced items. The celebration will run from 4 to 6 pm at the center, located at 333 SE Bay Blvd on Newport’s Historic Bayfront. Admission is free for members and kids under 12 and $5 for non-members. For more information, call 541-2657509.

Pie that’s off the chart Even in a hall filled with just about every type of gift imaginable, it can be tricky to get a whole year’s holiday shopping done in just two days.

Newport celebrates a resident of note

The coming week will offer a rare chance to see inside the home of one of the Oregon Coast’s most treasured residents as the Bloch House opens its doors to visitors. Ernest Bloch, born in Geneva in 1880, lived the last 18 years of his life on the Oregon Coast until his death in 1959. It was there, looking out over the Pacific and the Yaquina Headlands from his home on the Agate Beach cliff, that he created several of his greatest works. A child prodigy on violin, Bloch’s formative years were spent studying and learning composition in Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris. He later returned to Geneva, where he married his wife, Marguerite, and became father to three children, Ivan, Suzanne and Lucienne. Bloch came to New York in 1916, seeking better opportunities in music. He found them — achieving success in composing as well as securing teaching positions in Manhattan, Cleveland and San Francisco. In 1930, after completing his tenure as director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Bloch was awarded an endowed chair at

University of California, Berkeley, that allowed him to focus exclusively on composition until his retirement in 1952. The terms of the endowment were that he could live anywhere, so he returned to Switzerland for nearly a decade before moving to Portland in 1939, where his son worked as an engineer. It was on a return trip from Berkeley to Portland that Bloch discovered Agate Beach. He

and Marguerite bought the house from the Bush family in 1941. This was the only house they ever owned. After completing his “Suite Symphonique” in 1944 at the end of World War II, Bloch entered a proliﬁc and productive period that continued right up to the end of his life, bringing prestigious awards to his coastal retreat. Though oﬀ the beaten path, Bloch’s Agate Beach house played host to musical greats including famed violinist Yehudi Menuhin and composer Igor Stravinsky. The doors to that house will be open for four days in December, thanks to a partnership between the Newport Ernest Bloch Legacy Project and the Ernest Bloch Foundation. The house will be open for tours from 2 to 6 pm on Thursday, Dec. 3, through Saturday, Dec. 5; and from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, Dec. 6. The main event of the weekend will take place on Saturday, from 10 am to 2 pm, with a reception, refreshments and a program including a performance of pieces from Bloch’s “Enfantines.” For more information, call Frank Geltner at 541-961-1482.

See a big-name star in Newport The family that pries together... Time was that if you wanted an entertainer with a name like a fairy tale character, you would have to settle for someone that made it up, like English crooner Engelbert Humperdinck. That was before the emergence of the delightfully posh and unfeasibly chiseled Benedict Cumberbatch, who comes by all six of his gloriously unlikely syllables entirely naturally. Somehow, the talented Cumberbatch, in-between thrilling audiences with his TV performances as Sherlock Holmes and polishing his ever-growing collection of awards in categories such as “Thinking Woman’s Crumpet,” has found time to step into the most demanding stage role of all time — William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. And Oregon Coast audiences will get the chance

to see the performance on the big screen this Friday, Dec. 4, at the Newport Performing Arts Center thanks to National Theatre Live. The screening will run from 7 to 10 pm at 777 W Olive

Street. Tickets, $16 for adults, $13 for seniors and $11 for students, are available at the box oﬃce, online at www. coastarts.org or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787).

A riveting true story of espionage will be on offer on Wednesday, Dec. 9, as Newport Public Library hosts investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Bryan Denson, author of “The Spy’s Son,” the extraordinary true story of the father and son coconspirators who sold national secrets to Russia. Jim Nicholson was one of the CIA’s top veteran case officers. By day, he taught spycraft at the CIA’s clandestine training center, The Farm. By night, he was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his three kids. But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly with agents of Russia’s foreign intelligence service in locations around the world and turned over troves of classified documents, including the identities of hundreds of trainees. In

Bryan Denson

1997, Nicholson became the highest-ranking CIA oﬃcer ever convicted of espionage. But his duplicity didn’t stop there. While behind the bars of a federal prison, the former mole systematically groomed the one person he trusted most to serve as his stand-in: his youngest son, Nathan. In his early 20s, Nathan was easy prey for his father.

When Nicholson asked him to courier messages out of prison to his Russian contacts, Nathan saw an opportunity to not only make something of himself but to make his father proud by following him into the spy world. “The Spy’s Son” was published in May 2015 and a movie is in the works from Paramount Pictures — “Spy’s Kid,” starring Robert De Niro and Shia LaBeouf. Denson is a veteran journalist who specializes in telling hard-to-get stories in long-form narratives. He spends weekdays as a federal courts reporter and national security writer for The Oregonian newspaper and OregonLive. The free presentation will start at 7 pm at the library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, call 541-265-2153 or go to www. newportlibrary.org.

Areas of my expertise A while back, I had the pleasure of teaching a writing workshop in Yachats called “Getting the Nonfiction Writing Going.” A wonderful group of writers gathered in the Yachats Farmstore greenhouse and wrote with astonishing power and clarity as the season’s first great storm ripped translucent walls of rain through the town and our minds. How does one get the writing going? How does one get anything desirous in life going for that matter? One of the techniques I’ve employed over the years is a prompt to help aspiring writers find a voice and subject that motivates them to start the work. I use this prompt in

my writing instruction but don’t see why it couldn’t work in any context where someone wants to get some endeavor underway but can’t. There’s a lot of that going around. The prompt is Areas of My Expertise and the writer takes five to 10 minutes and simply lists all areas of personal expertise. These areas may be real, imagined, boastful, mocking, as definite as gravity or fanciful as a cloud. They can suggest joy or pain. They can exude passion or nonchalance. It doesn’t matter what direction the writer takes the list. Invariably, after completing it, a writer identifies

something about herself that she needs to explore with words. In all my years of using this exercise, I’ve never seen it fail to inspire a writer. It always inspires me and sparks new ideas, angles, insights. Here is the latest list of My Expertise I compiled in Yachats. Living without television Coaxing secrets from someone gathered around a burn barrel Making metaphorical use of clearcuts Seeing the future through the keyhole of a limpet Hacking blackberries Creating unique opportunities for young people to write, photograph and

make music. Never letting students give me the “whatever” Helping students discover their passions Upsetting one elderly man on the Oregon Coast who detests my writing about beaches Encountering distressed people on the beach and sometimes rendering aid Listening to the old sound of the ocean Evangelizing about the beneﬁts of building driftwood forts Attacking the proponents of riprap Walking dogs on beaches Rescuing dogs Remaining single Leading a leaderless Oregon army to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beach Bill on July 7, 2017 Encouraging people to consider the Yaquina Bay Bridge as a green lady with great curves Spiritually evolving from my beginning as a preacher’s kid Gigging my books up and down Highway 101 Eradicating umbrella use Extolling the virtues of wearing vintage corduroy Convincing myself that I don’t have larger aspirations for my writing Eliciting tales in Oregon Coast dive bars Chronicling the ongoing death of rock and roll Unearthing long-lost Oregon stories Understanding rain as something inﬁnitely more interesting than weather After compiling this latest list, I instantly knew what my next book was going to be about. Until this latest exercise, I wasn’t really sure. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “The Great Birthright.” His books are available through coastal bookstores or his web site.

Enjoy every SINgle moment

Scandalous playwright Del Shores brings his one-man show to Yachats By Barbara B. Covell For The TODAY

Strap on your funny belt, Del Shores is coming to Yachats. The renowned comic and playwright of theater favorites “Sordid Lives,” “Daddy’s Dyin: Who’s Got the Will?,” “Southern Baptist Sissies,” “Cheatin’” and “The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife” will appear on Saturday, Dec. 5, for a one-night standup performance of his latest work, “Del Shores SINgularly Sordid.” A collection of tawdry tales that reflect on his eccentric creative characters, “SINgularly Sordid” is also a racy reflection of Shores’ own life as a newly single gay man in the 50+ dating scene. Carl Miller, a board member for One of Us Productions, says that Shores’ first-ever Oregon Coast appearance is to help this Yachats theater company celebrate its 10th anniversary. “We did “Sordid Lives” in May and it was so well received that I decided to contact Del Shores,” Miller said. “He loves to help out theater groups because that is how he got his start.” The 90-minute show has won Shores rave reviews in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, New York City, Palm Springs, San Diego, Atlanta and countless cities across the country. The Yachats appearance will be his only Oregon show and a salute to this community’s support of the arts. Shores was raised in theater circles as his mother was a high school drama teacher. “I am so happy and excited to be a part of this 10-year anniversary celebration,” he said. “I would not have a career if it weren’t for small theater. It is where I started and live and

breathe. We have to work hard to get the arts inclusive in every community.” Shores describes his “SINgularly Sordid” show as a racy adult comedy. “It addresses what happens when you are in your 50s and returning to the dating scene,” he said. “I definitively illustrate

some of my dating experiences. I’ve found that some of the men who are single probably should be. I don’t always take the high road, because the low road is much more scenic. But it is wonderful to share a similar journey. Honestly, I have met some nice guys, but it is a lot of fun to talk about the other ones.”

“My mind is like a bad neighborhood, you don’t want to go there alone,” he added. “The truth is, I can have a bit of a potty mouth, but we all need to escape every now and then. Laughter is a great way to feel safe.” Shores said some people have been offended by his openly gay adult humor. “I have been told gay marriage should not exist,” he said, “But it

does exist, more than the Easter Bunny.” This year, Shores completed a screenplay for the final chapter of his “Sordid Lives” franchise. Entitled “A Very Sordid Wedding,” the tale sees his characters return to Texas in 2015, after the Supreme Court decision for marriage equality. The film is due to begin production in October and Shores intends to write a stage play version. After his performance at the Yachats Commons, Shores will remain for a meet and greet with audience members. “This is an important feature for every show, as I can explain parts that people may not understand, and get feedback on my work,” he said. “I have had people tell me they’ve laughed so hard, they wet themselves.” There will be refreshments served by One of Us Productions. The show begins at 8 pm in the Yachats Commons at 4th Street and Highway 101. “We encourage people to come and enjoy dinner prior to the show,” Miller said. “Yachats has many wonderful restaurants and hotels, should you decide to make this a special weekend occasion.” Tickets for this performance are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Seating is limited, so advance purchase is recommended. Reservations can be made online at www.fb.com/One.of.Us.Productions. Locally, tickets are available at Toad Hall, Touchstone Gallery, Waldport Video and Yachats Video. Reservations can also be made by calling 541-547-4350 from 10 am to 5 pm. Barbara B. Covell is a contributing journalist with 10 years’ experience in Oregon newspapers and regional magazines. Feel free to contact her at bbcovell@ me.com.

Oil be there. Will you?

Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts is offering an ongoing oil painting class led by local artist Karen Gale. Class participants will learn the elements of art and design, classic painting techniques and color theory through the process of creating their own paintings. Each session is three hours long. Gale has been teaching art for eight years and is experienced in teaching beginning students as well as those who have been painting for years. After a 16-year career in education, Gale studied in the Department of Art and Design at Southern Utah University. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, she has created Pike Road Painters artist group in Yamhill, joined Currents Gallery in McMinnville and founded Pease House Art in Oregon City. She now lives with her husband in Bay City, where she paints, teaches art and is illustrating a children’s book. The classes cost $165 for four sessions at a time. Each student may roll over one session with the instructor’s approval to the next period. Students who already work in the medium are asked to bring their own supplies. A complete list will be provided at registration. Students new to oil painting can use provided materials for an additional $20. Upcoming classes are set for 10 am to 1 pm on Thursday, Dec 10, Dec. 17, Jan. 7 and Jan. 14 at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. A minimum of four students is required for the class to go forward and students should register no later than Monday, Dec. 7. To register, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org. For questions about the class, contact Gale at peasehouseart@gmail.com.

learn a little

Join a rapt-or audience The progress of a pair of Peregrine Falcons at Newport’s Yaquina Head will be the subject of a Monday, Dec. 7, presentation by the Yaquina Art Association Photographers. Presenter Wayne Hoﬀman has worked in the ﬁeld of conservation throughout his career and, since 2011, has been paying particular attention to the Peregrine Falcons that have established a nesting territory at Yaquina Head. Peregrine Falcon populations were nearly destroyed in temperate North America by persistent pesticides in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s, it was believed that no nesting pairs survived in Oregon. Since the banning of these pesticides and with the help of a reintroduction program, the Peregrine population has recovered to the extent that more than 100 nesting territories are now known in the state. In 2011, a pair of Peregrines established a territory at Yaquina Head, and in 2012 began nesting on a ledge in the main quarry wall near the Visitors’ Center. This is one of the most accessible sites for photographing these spectacular birds in the northwest, and the birds have been more accepting of human activity in the vicinity of the nest

than at most natural nest sites. This has allowed Hoﬀman and other local photographers to recognize the birds as individuals and to learn much about their biology and social lives. Their observations have contributed information on courtship and nesting behavior, diet and population dynamics. Hoﬀman’s presentation will be a combination of wildlife photography and the results of study and

observation honed by a lifetime of scientific endeavor. Hoffman has studied seabird distribution in Alaskan waters; marine mammals, sea turtles and seabird distribution off the southeastern United States; the ecology of shorebirds and waterfowl in a Kansas wetland; wading birds in the Everglades; and songbird populations in hardwood plantations across North America. Since 1999, he

has been employed by the MidCoast Watersheds Council, working on restoring watershed health and salmon habitat in the Mid Coast area. The free program will begin at 7 pm in the upstairs classroom of the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

True tale: no lion Visitors to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area will have the chance to hear a harrowing tale of a park ranger who came between a mountain lion and its prey when the Winter Discovery Series continues on Saturday, Dec. 5. Dave Thompson was a summer seasonal ranger in California’s Redwoods National Park, where he lived an idyllic life in a trailer, setting out a chair most evenings to observe the bear, elk and even mountain

lions, which frequented the property. It was a peaceful coexistence until the night Thompson found himself in the middle of a hunt. Thompson, now the Siuslaw National Forest’s interpretive specialist, will tell the tale and pass on facts about the life and behavior of this secretive and often-maligned creature at 2 pm on Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, three miles south of Yachats. The Cape Perpetua

DECKING THE DECKS

Festooning the Discovery for the annual Lighted Boat Parade is a labor of love

By Nancy Steinberg f you have a little trouble finding Christmas lights on Newport store shelves in late November, you might blame the Discovery. Yes, that Discovery, the beloved 65-foot-long vessel that operates the region’s most popular sea life cruise. Owners Don and Fran Mathews will soon be stringing lights from the gunnels to the wheel house in preparation for the 22nd annual Lighted Boat Parade, to be held just after sundown on Saturday, Dec. 5 in Yaquina Bay, in which the Discovery serves as both participant and tour platform. A 65-foot boat needs a lot of lights to be part of the parade. Strings and strings and strings of them, up to 80,000 individual twinklers, by Fran Mathews’ estimate. “Don buys lights from here to Albany — he really stocks up,” Fran said. “He is the

quintessential kid waiting for Christmas — he absolutely loves this event, and he makes it fun for everybody.” The Discovery crew, two to three of them, usually start the decorating process about two weeks before the event to make sure the light show is ship-shape before the parade. The parade borrows its theme from the Festival of Trees every year, the fundraising event for Pacific Communities Health District Foundation and the beneficiary of the funds raised by the parade. This year’s theme is “New Beginnings.” Fran Mathews doesn’t quite know how the Discovery’s light display will reflect that theme, but she’s not worried. “We’ve always found ways to upcycle themes from one year to another,” she said. “It’s an exciting challenge.” “The joy and magic of the event is really how participants manage to decorate their boats in such a short time with incredible results,” she added.

All of the Discovery’s lights are run off of the boat’s generator, which is more than large enough to handle the strings and strings and strings of lights. With smaller boats, power supply can be a problem. “We’ve begged, borrowed and stolen generators for other boats over the years,” Fran said. The Discovery has had gorgeous displays every year of the parade. Last year, the vessel won the parade’s grand prize for their Coast Guard helicopter-themed entry, which included projections of videos of dramatic helo rescues onto the Discovery’s bow. The Discovery is one of two boats that take passengers out on the bay during the parade for optimum parade viewing (the other is usually the Misty, one of Newport Tradewinds’ charter fishing boats). The night of the parade, Fran said, excitement is palpable along the Bayfront and on the decks of the Discovery. “Restaurants along the Bayfront

are full,” Fran said, “which is great for them in December, and the public piers are packed.” Passengers from the coast and valley board the Discovery at sunset, to be treated to cookies and hot cocoa donated by JC Market and Mo’s Restaurants. A very special passenger joins them each year, one who is cozy and warm in his red suit and white beard. “We have Newport’s real Santa Claus, Don Hamilton,” Fran said. “He is so generous in lending his Santa Claus spirit to us as well as to a number of other community groups at this time of year.” After setting sail, Captain Don Mathews maneuvers the Discovery into place in the circle of anywhere from 12 to 20 boats in the bay. Led by one of the Coast Guard vessels, the boats parade up to the Embarcadero hotel and back to Anchor Pier where the judges await. The Discovery waits its turn, among the Coast Guard vessels, charter boats, sailboats, private fishing boats and even a sea kayak or

Jet Ski now and then. Each boat executes a 360-degree turn (wind permitting!) in front of the judges, who are local notables. The judges award a grand prize, along with first, second, third and honorable mention. Any boat can win, or as Fran put it, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight!” Oregon Coast Bank donates the grand prize, a coveted hunting rifle, every year. After the parade winds down, the participants retire to an after-party hosted by the Rogue Brewery to tell tales of straining generators, that one light that wouldn’t light and the good time that was had by all. The Lighted Boat Parade takes place just after sundown on Saturday, Dec. 5. To book a spot on a boat for the parade, contact Marine Discovery Tours at 541-265-6200. Tickets for boat rides are $36 for adults and $18 for kids. Viewing is free along the Bayfront’s piers, but reservations for Bayfront restaurants are highly recommended for that evening, as they do f ill up.

AQUARIUM TAKES THE PLUNGE Visitors to the Oregon Coast Aquarium will be greeted by sparkling lights and an ocean of holiday cheer every weekend this December as the Newport facility hosts its annual Sea of Lights celebration. More than half a million colorful lights and holiday decorations will surround visitors with the spirit of the season as they explore the aquarium after hours. Santa will be present every night of Sea of Lights until Christmas to pose for photos and listen to visitors’ Christmas wishes. Santa will also be donning his SCUBA gear for nightly dives into the aquarium’s display tanks — a tradition that is a big favorite with kids. “Sea of Lights lets the aquarium give back to the community, but we also organize it for the sheer fun of it,” said organizer Michele Steen. “There is no other place to go see a big light display on the central Oregon Coast.” This family-friendly event kicks oﬀ with a special celebration from 6:30 to 9:30 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 4, 5 and 6. Admission to the ﬁrst weekend of Sea of Lights is $2 with two cans of nonperishable food or pet food for the local food bank. Entry is $8 per person without a food donation. Admission is free for aquarium members, but they are encouraged to bring an item to donate. Sea of Lights will continue to illuminate the aquarium every following Saturday and Sunday of December from 5 to 8 pm. Admission is $8, or free with same day paid admission. The aquarium is located at 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road. For more information, go to aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

Oregon Coast and the Nehalem River Canyon. The ride is open to passengers of all ages,

with tickets priced at $20 per adult, $19 for seniors and $15 for children. Guests can buy their tickets online or onboard the train in the caboose, which doubles as ticket oﬃce and gift shop.

Santa Claus will be making a special appearance at this year’s Fantasy of Trees in Lincoln City, handing out candy canes to all who come to admire the exquisitely decorated Christmas trees on display at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Santa will be on hand from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Dec. 4, giving a warm welcome to visitors young and old at the free event, which showcases 23 trees decorated and sponsored by local businesses and individuals. In past years, tree themes have included Betty Boop, firemen, chocolates, peacocks, roses, ballerinas, fishing, old-fashioned Christmas, hand-carved ornaments, OSU and U of O trees, and many splendidly trimmed in specific colors. Now in its 16th year, the event is organized by Angels Anonymous, a non-profit foundation that provides immediate and basic assistance to those in need in the greater north Lincoln County area. The trees will be on display from noon to 8 pm on Friday and again from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, Dec. 5, in advance of The Song of the Angels Holiday Ball, which starts at 5:30 pm that evening. It will be a night to dress up in your festive best for an elegant evening on the town and enjoy a meal of passed hors d’ oeuvres, seafood, steak and baked potato along with dessert stations. This year, Beatles inspired band Blackbird is returning to provide the evening’s entertainment. The auction of the Christmas trees, special items and wreaths will take place during the Angels Ball along with numerous drawings. Tickets, $75, are available at the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, located at 4039 NW Logan Road or by calling 541-994-3070.

Get pulled in — to The PushPin Show

WHAT A RELIEF

The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is celebrating the 25th anniversary of The PushPin Show, which will be on display in the Runyan Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center from Saturday, Dec. 5, through Sunday, Jan. 3. The show, aimed at recognizing creative talent in any form that can be hung on the wall with four pushpins, will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 777 NW Beach Drive. Guests at the reception will have the chance to cast their vote for The People’s Choice Award. “The PushPin Show represents the very best of community-based arts programming,” said OCCA Executive Director Catherine Rickbone. “And 25 years is a long run for any annual exhibition for a town of any size. We encourage new and returning participants, and younger and older artists alike.” The PushPin Show was conceived in 1990 by Waldport artist James Frankfort. Over the years, more than 3,000 residents have shown work at the event. “I am always amazed at the quality, the variety of subject matter and the broad age range of the artists in PushPin, from 4 to 94,” says Newport artist Cheri Aldrich, who has participated in more than a dozen PushPin Shows. “There is truly something for the whole family.” Starting this year, The PushPin Show will also form the entry pool for another art exhibit that will be on display at the visual arts center in January. The Mayors’ Show will feature PushPin submissions chosen by Newport Mayor Sandy Roumagoux (a painter herself), Waldport Mayor Susan Woodruﬀ and visual arts center director Tom Webb. The three curators have selected the working theme of “Expanded Visions: New Work by Lincoln County Artists.” They are open to non-traditional formats and presentation styles, though work must have been completed within the past three years. Participants in The Push Pin Show should deliver their original work directly to the Runyan Gallery at the visual arts center between 11 am and 4 pm on December 4 and 5. Artists must be able to hang their work with just four or fewer pushpins. Artists interested in the Mayors’ Show will need to complete an expanded entry form, asking if they have additional work available and ready to hang in the January exhibit. The Runyan Gallery, located at 777 NW Beach Drive, is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Sunday.

Florence-based artist Karen Nichols is bringing a collection of bas relief collage paintings and small sculptures to Newport for display in the Coastal Oregon Visual Artist Showcase. The exhibit, entitled “Relief Works,” opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Saturday, Dec. 5, with a talk from the artist at 6:45 pm. Originally from Southern California, Nichols is an active member of the Florence arts community. She is a board member of the Florence Regional Arts Alliance, does marketing work for the Backstreet Gallery and is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Nichols traces her interest in drawing back painting back to her paper doll days. And while she enjoys a variety of media, including watercolor, oils, acrylic, pen and ink and graphite, her signature media — paper painting collage — remains her favorite. Paper painting collage is executed using watercolor paper or various textured rice papers, which are then watercolored and torn into shapes to be assembled into 3D sculptural pieces. Most of her paper painting collage works are bas-relief but some are free standing and housed in display cases. Nichols graduated from California State University (Los Angeles) with a major in art and education. After 33 years in elementary education in Cypress, California, and raising a family, retirement oﬀered Nichols the opportunity to use her creativity in various ways. Nichols lives in Florence with her husband, Ralph and Buddy, her King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. The show will be on display through Jan. 31, available to view noon to 4 pm Tuesday through Saturday at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

FOR THE

HOLIDAYS

International jazz vocalist Halie Loren will be returning to her home turf on Friday, Dec. 4, for a Holidays with Halie performance at Lincoln City Cultural Center. The two years since Loren last sang in Lincoln City have been busy ones for the globetrotting star, who has performed in Europe, Asia and the United States and who just last month learned that her 2015 release “Butterﬂy Blue” is on the 58th Grammy ballot in the category of “Best Vocal Jazz Album.” Fed by the hyperborean beauty of her childhood Alaska home, Loren’s gift for discovering the playfulness, pizazz and sensuality inherent in a lyric appeared early on. But it was her talent for turning those feelings into genredefying original compositions — songs at once universal and deeply personal — that captured wider attention. With purity of tone and rare interpretive prowess, she brings a fresh and original perspective to time-honored musical paths, channeling her innate understanding of connectedness across musical boundaries to forge bonds with diverse audiences in North America, Asia and Europe. Loren’s debut release of 11 original songs, “Full Circle” (2006), was hailed for exhibiting “a power and grace that are nearly unheard of in popular music.” Her sophomore album, “They Oughta Write a Song” (2008), brought to light her life-long love of jazz

standards, and subsequently won a national independent music award for best vocal jazz album. Loren’s music has proven well suited to concert halls, and she has performed alongside the Jazz Orchestra of Sicily, the CorvallisOSU Symphony Orchestra and the Monroe Symphony in Louisiana. For the past three years she has traveled the world with the members of her original band, including to Canada, Japan, Italy, China, Hong Kong and South Korea. Her newest release, “Butterﬂy Blue,” debuted at #1 on Japan’s Billboard Jazz chart in January and has held steadily in the chart’s top 10 list ever since. The album ventures into some new recording territory for Loren, exploring her musical roots in not only jazz, but also in soul, blues, folk and pop. Through a soundtrack that includes guitars, piano, organ, double-bass, horns, cellos and layered vocals, she and her band create a diverse and rich musical array of original songs, unique reads on standards and little-known covers that have been long-treasured pieces of her repertoire. This collection shows a deeper, more nuanced side of Loren’s maturing artistry, featuring strength and vulnerability in equal measures. Loren will appear on the cultural center stage alongside longtime collaborator and pianist Matt Treder along with Sean Peterson on upright bass and Brian West on drums.

Holidays with Halie will offer two sets with one intermission, inside the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Doors will open at 6:30 pm, with limited table seating first-come, first-served, and the show scheduled to begin at 7 pm.

Refreshments will be available to buy before the show and during intermission. Tickets, $20 in advance or $22 on the door, are available online at www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, at the center’s Facebook page or by calling 541-994-9994.

Music both sacred and secular, contemporary and classical will be on oﬀer when the Central Coast Chorale celebrates the winter holidays with its Wishes and Candles concert on Sunday, Dec. 6, in Newport. The Oregon Coast Community College Chorus and the vocal octet Women of Note will join the chorale for this performance. Several of the pieces will be performed a capella, with the rest accompanied by pianist Milo Graamans. The concert will open with an upbeat, richly textured African folk song “Jabula Jesu,” followed by Austrian carol “Still, Still, Still,” whose warm familiarity oﬀers a striking contrast to Arvo Pärt’s minimalist “Bogoróditse Djévo.” Composer Philip Stopford’s arrangement of the traditional carol, “Lully, Lulla, Lullay” is simple with a haunting beauty that is sure to please audience members. Women of Note will sing a contemporary arrangement of the Latin traditional “Dona Nobis Pacem,” John Rutter’s “What Sweeter Music” and a festive Christmas madrigal. “Wolfgang’s Christmas Canon” by Tom Fetke incorporates a traditional holiday song with a Mozart canon, resulting in a bright and lively piece of music. They will close their set with “Ave Maria” by the 16th Century master of polyphony, Palestrina. The college chorus will perform several pieces including “Jubilate Deo,” “Winter Wonderland” and “In December.” They will join the full chorale in the rousing closing number, “Now is the Time of Christmas!” The concert will begin at 2 pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Newport is located at 227 NE 12th Street. Suggested admission donation is $10. For more information, call Chorale Director MaryLee Scoville at 541563-6830.

Artist reveals 2020 vision

An artistic view of sustainability will be on display at the Newport Visual Arts Center starting on Saturday, Dec. 5, as Southern Oregon artist Catie Faryl unveils her “Bridges to 2020” exhibit. The show, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, features oil paintings, monotype prints, poetry and text panels in an installation setting. An opening reception from 5 to 7 pm on Saturday Dec. 5 will include a talk from the artist at 6:30 pm. The exhibit focuses on Faryl’s vision for a more sustainable future.

“I use the four elements of earth, air, water and ﬁre to categorize the solutions I see to promote positive attitudes toward change,” she said. “I present work in a way that is not polarizing and looks to preserve our way of life while living more in balance with nature.” “Bridges to 2020” is designed to travel and was exhibited at the Medford Public Library in July. Faryl has shown her work widely in Southern Oregon and the Paciﬁc Northwest. She has held solo exhibits at the Mada Shell Gallery, the Briscoe Art Wing, the

Blue Heron Gallery and Southern Oregon University in Ashland, at the Grants Pass Museum and the Frank Bette Center in Alameda, California. She has participated in juried group shows through Oregon State University, the Coos Bay Art Museum, the Eugene Arts Foundation and the Beaverton Arts Commission. “Bridges to 2020” will be on display through Jan 2 in the Upstairs Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, available to view from noon to 4 pm Tuesday to Saturday.

SOUTH AMERICAN ARTESANIA TAKES CENTER STAGE AT TOLEDO’S FIRST WEEKEND

The “Promise” nativity tableau

oledo will lay out a warm winter welcome for art lovers this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 5 and 6, as galleries and studios throughout town open their doors for First Weekend. Exhibits on show include “Promise,” an annual Christmas collection of craft art from Latin America and Europe on display at the Yaquina River Museum of Art. Judy Gibbons spent 18 years collecting these items while living and traveling in Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Chile from 1964 to 1982. Originally from Portland, Gibbons resettled in Toledo where her parents were retired after 13 years as owners and operators of the town’s Lincoln Hotel in Toledo. She and her husband Michael Gibbons established the non-profit museum in 2002 to leave a legacy of art to the community. The “Promise” collection includes a Peruvian Nativity scene, or Retablo, made of hand-carved and painted figurines fitted in a backed frame box. The bottom portion of the box depicts base and raucous living, while the upper scene is one of progression to a higher level of wellbeing, culminating in the Nativity of Christ. New to the exhibit this year is a set of 14 Stations of the Cross original cloisonné made by Episcopal Sister Ellen Stephen from the St Helena Order of Seattle. Weavings and handmade tablecloths from Guatemala will also be shown. The museum will be open from noon to 4 pm each day at 151 NE Alder Street, with light refreshments available. For more information, call 541-336-2797. Meanwhile, across the street, Gibbons’ husband, Michael, will be welcoming guests to his Signature Gallery where he will be displaying “Gazing Globe in Our Garden.” The gazing globe depicted in the work is

reputed to deter bugs, although Gibbons said he saw plenty of flying critters around when he created the work ala prima in the pulsating heat of summer, when the flowers were at their peak of color. Fortunately, he said, not too many fell into the painting. Guests are invited to join Gibbons for Oregon wine, cheese and chocolate refreshments in the Vicarage at 140 NE Alder Street. Just around the corner, fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly will be displaying a selection of onlocation marine and coastal dune oils including “Driftwood Morning.” Kelly painted the piece on a frosty January morning at Beverly Beach, setting up his easel among a tangle of driftwood. First he tackled the warming glow on the sandstone cliffs of Otter Crest and then the brilliant sparkle on the bleached logs as the sun filtered down the cliff and cross the beach. “Two hours later, I’m done,” he said. “The sun is higher and everything has changed.

created with studio markers, acrylics and watercolors at Pig Feathers BBQ. Both have been involved in design and the arts most of their lives, Michael having spent his career as an exhibit designer, while Maureen was involved in fashion and interior design. The couple’s latest series of close-ups focus on speciﬁc characteristics of animals’ faces, rather then the whole animal. “You don’t have to see the entire animal in order to know what you’re looking at.” Michael said. The exhibit consists of 14 pieces of original art, all of which are available to buy, with 100 percent of the sale price going to the artists. Pig Feathers BBQ is located at 300 S. Main Street and will be open from 11 am to 9 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 7 pm on Sunday.
