YACHATS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lighthouses are dramatic places at any time of year, but when you add roiling winter waves, a roaring ďŹ re and a host of talented musicians, the Keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cottage at Heceta Head Lighthouse becomes just about the most stunning location you could imagine for a Christmas get together. After all that, the huge assortment of cookies is just icing on the cake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so to speak. See page 14

LINCOLN CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Somewhere on this planet is an extension cord manufacturer whose entire business plan relies on the dedication of one man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steve Prewitt, aka:

The Christmas Lites Guy. Prewittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever-growing display uses three and a half miles of extension cords to bring power to some 50,000 lights, making for a display that is not to be missed. See page 9

NEWPORT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And anyone who says electricity and water donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix should take a trip to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where the Sea of Lights display continues every Friday and Saturday throughout December. A great chance to see the aquarium and its inhabitants after hours; and much safer than rigging up fairy lights in the tub. See coast calendar, pages 12 & 13

Young, free and jingle Much like a stealthy Prius, a silent runner can be an accident waiting to happen. But there’s no chance of being surprised by the runners taking part in Lincoln City’s Jingle Bell Jog, which returns for its fourth year on Saturday, Dec. 17. The 5K route is open to runners, joggers, walkers, baby strollers and pets, with all participants encouraged to dress up in festive attire and provided with bells to create a suitably jingly soundtrack. Come rain or shine, runners will set of at 9:30 am from the Lincoln City Community Center at 2150 NE Oar Place. The out-and-back course will traverse the paved

Head to Bay sidewalk along NE 22nd Street and West Devils Lake Road. Hot chocolate, coﬀee and cookies will be served immediately afterwards. Advance registration is available until Dec. 16 at www.getmeregistered.com or in person at the community center, priced at $15 for the race only or $25 with the commemorative beanie hat. Day-of-race registration starts at 8:30 am on Saturday, Dec. 17, at the Community Center, priced at $20 for the race only or $30 with the beanie hat. For more information, call 541-994-2131 or go to lincolncity.org.

Get Tai’d up this Saturday The Newport 60+ Activity Center will oﬀer an introduction to Tai Chi this Saturday Dec. 10, running from 11:30 am to 3 pm. “Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance” was developed by a team of researchers at the Oregon Research Institute and uses eight forms derived from the traditional 24-form Yang-style Tai Chi. Research has shown that people who complete the program are half as likely to fall and are less fearful about falling. The free introductory class

will begin with a brief balance assessment, which uses some traditional movements to help attendees gauge their strengths, as well as where they need improvement, in maintaining balance. The full program will be oﬀered beginning in early 2017 and is intended for adults aged 60 and older, who can walk easily with or without assistive devices. For more information, drop by the Newport 60+ Activity Center at 20 SE 2nd Street, or call 541-265-9617.

A king tide at Nehalem • Photo by Cinamon Moffett

PHOTOS FIT FOR A KING For people living on the Oregon Coast, rising sea levels will bring the problem of global climate change quite literally into the back yard. And the coming week will offer a glimpse of what sea level rise will mean for the area, as king tides return from Monday, Dec. 12, to Thursday, Dec. 15. And as the high tides hit the coast, CoastWatch is asking people to grab their

cameras and help document the effects. Photos can focus on any feature, but those that show the location of the tide in relation to roads, seawalls and buildings are 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. Photographers are also encouraged to focus on

iconic or easily recognizable locations and areas where the high water is impacting infrastructure in order to eﬀectively highlight the eﬀects of rising sea levels. Participants can post photographs online through the King Tide Photo Initiative website, www. oregonkingtides.net, which contains project information and the online submission form. Be prepared to include the location, date, description

and direction of the photo. CoastWatch is making a special eﬀort to organize photographers to document the reach of the King Tides in the vicinity of the Oregon’s marine reserves at Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua and Redﬁsh Rocks. For more information, contact Fawn Custer, CoastWatch volunteer coordinator, at 541-270-0027, fawn@oregonshores.org.

A handmade holiday If your Christmas list includes handmade gifts like personalized buttons, jewelry, decorated baseball caps, duct tape wallets and ornaments, then the Newport Public Library is the place to be on Thursday, Dec. 15. The library’s Teen Third Thursday series is hosting a make-and-take get together

aimed at 12- to 18-year-olds. Snacks will be on oﬀer and all supplies will be provided — including wrapping paper and ribbon. The session will run from 3:45 to 5:30 pm in the McEntee Room of the library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, call Linda Annable at 541-2652153.

A SOUND IDEA SOUND OF NATURE, SOUND OF ART RETURNS TO LINCOLN CITY Visual artists and musicians will combine their talents to present a feast for the senses this Tuesday, Dec. 13, in Lincoln City, as Sound of Nature, Sound of Art returns for a third year. The live, sensory-laden experience pairs a ﬁve-piece ensemble with local painters, each of whom explores the rhythms of the music while bringing their own work to life on a large canvas. “This event encourages its participants to make new connections between environmental beauty, visual art creation and live music played on acoustic instruments,” said cultural center Executive Director Niki Price. “Hear the art, see the music — it’s hard to describe but wonderful to

experience.” Sound of Nature, Sound of Art was ﬁrst conceived in 2014 by Jonathan Dubay, head of the Three Centuries Ensemble, as a response to the 40th anniversary of the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. A large image of Cascade Head serves as a backdrop to each performance, while the musical pieces evoke the feel of the surrounding rainforest, beach and meadows. Tuesday’s event will begin with a morning performance at Taft 7-12 followed by an evening show the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Dubay will be joined on stage by his brother Gregory Dubay on cello; pianist Chungwon Lydia Chung; percussionist Michael Roberts; and

Martha Conwell Long on ﬂute. The local artists invited to create during the show will include painter and collage artist Victoria McOmie; multi-media artist and arts consultant Randall Koch; and environmental artist and REEF coordinator for the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council, Graham Klag. This year, thanks to a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, the event will also feature an audience art project lead by Krista Eddy, director of the Chessman Gallery and Lincoln City arts educator. The 45-minute morning program at Taft 7-12 will include a discussion of line and gesture led by Jonathan Dubay, followed by a performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons (Winter)”

and John Luther Adams’ “Make Prayers to the Raven.” Graham Klag and Noah Lambie will lead an environmental performance art piece, and Krista Eddy will help Taft 7-12 students create their own art from their seats in the audience. The performance, which is free and open to all, will begin at 9:05 am in the Commons of Taft 7-12, at 3780 SE Spyglass Ridge in Lincoln City. The evening performance will start at 7 pm at the cultural center, with a ﬁrst half featuring compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Ernest Bloch and Lou Harrison paired with a live mixed-media collage/painting by McOmie, a collective audience art project with Eddy, and an environmental art expression by Klag

and students from Taft 7-12. In the second half, the Three Centuries Ensemble will play “Songs in the Forest” by Lou Harrison, and “Make Prayers to the Raven” by John Luther Adams, while Koch creates a large-scale work over the course of 35 minutes. The evening will end with a question-and-answer period, open to both musicians and artists. Tickets for the evening performance Sound of Nature, Sound of Art are $20 in advance, $22 at the door, and free for Taft 7-12 students accompanied by a paying adult. To buy tickets, go to lincolncityculturalcenter.org, or call 541-9949994. The Lincoln City Cultural Center is located at 540 NE Hwy. 101.

A cracking performance The auditorium of Tillamook High School will be transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland this weekend as the Oregon Coast Dance Center presents its annual performance of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker.” The classic tale begins with a young girl falling asleep after a Christmas Eve party at her house. As she sleeps, she dreams herself into a fantastical world where her

beloved Nutcracker comes to life and defends her from the Mouse King. The Nutcracker Prince takes her to the Kingdom of Sweets where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy, and characters from diﬀerent countries dance and present her with gifts. At the end of the night, she wakes up back at her house and wonders if it was real — or just a dream. Performances will take place at 6:30 pm on Friday,

Dec. 9, and 1:30 pm on Saturday, Dec. 10, with the main show preceded by Christmas-themed dances from select classes. Tillamook High School is located at 2605 12th Street. Admission is $5 per person, with proceeds beneﬁting the center’s not-for-proﬁt Performance Group. For more information, go to www.oregoncoastdancecenter. com or call 503-842-7447.

PAINT MISBEHAVIN’

Eric Schindler, Jody Stecher and Jeffery D. Wilson

CANVAS YOUR FRIENDS FOR THEIR VIEWS ON “ART” IN NEWPORT By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY

Photos by Chris Graamans In the heady realm of the “art world” creativity is master, interpretation is subjective and the cost factor remains irrelevant to a buyer. While beauty is seen through the eyes of the beholder, vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. This is the premise of “Art,” a delightfully dark comedy about a painting and the three friends with different opinions of its value. A congenial debate quickly becomes a heated contest involving theoretical concepts, escalating to attacks on personal failures;

and ultimately testing the bonds of friendship, judgment and mutual respect. The original Frenchlanguage script was written by Yasmina Reza in 1994, and translated to English by playwright Christopher Hampton two years later. It opened in New York in 1998 and ran for 600 shows, earning the prestigious Tony award for Best Play. Reza and Hampton both received critical acclaim for the biting, rapid-fire dialogues and softly lit monologues where actors speak directly to the audience. Director Marc Maislen brings “Art” to the studio theatre at the Newport

Performing Arts Center, with Michele Peters as assistant director. Maislen’s skills as a professional actor blend beautifully with his temperament as a teacher and mentor. The result is a seamless production with diverse, talented actors who carry the weighty roles of the three male friends. “I feel that it is my job as director to bring in the multiplicity of skills that each actor contributes to the show,” Maislen said. “We analyzed the characters and broke down the roles in a scientific style. The end result showcases each actor’s gifts in a fluid production. This play runs for an hour and a half with

no intermission, no set or costume changes. The men’s characters and relationships develop along the way.” The play’s storyline is a rollercoaster ride as each friend reveals his authentic feelings about each other and their relationships. The role of Serge, played superbly by Eric Schindler, depicts an art aficionado and self-described modernist. Serge purchases a $40,000 painting and proudly shows it to his friend Marc, portrayed by a powerful Jeffrey D. Wilson. Marc is amused and appalled to see Serge’s unframed painting — simply a white-on-white canvas.

Although he is an engineer by profession, Marc fancies himself a classicist in art. He cannot wait to consult with their friend Ivan, played dynamically by Jody Stecher, who has not been successful career-wise, but is a logical, black and white thinker. Ivan disappoints Marc by saying it is reasonable to pay $40,000 for a white canvas because of the “resonance you get from something monochromatic.” And so the story goes. Each actor brings a dynamic and malleability to their performance. This is important to achieve the momentum and individual character growth which playwright Reza intended. The audience will not be disappointed with the show’s end result, regardless of individual opinions regarding the medium of art. “Art” is presented by New Visions Arts, a collaboration of Marc Maislen and Mary Eastman of Toledo. Both Maislen and Eastman have years of professional acting, directing, producing, teaching and consulting experience. They formed New Visions Arts as a vehicle to share their knowledge and expertise with the community. Their unified vision is to bring every individual closer to

their creative potential, as well as their contribution to the whole. Future shows include “Reva,” “Venus in Fur” and the Lady Rizo Newport productions. “Art,” which contains some adult language, opens on Friday, Dec. 9, at 7 pm and continues through Sunday, Dec. 18, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday, and 2 pm matinées every Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday performances also feature individual artists exhibiting their work in the lobby and continuing the dialogue on art. “Art is not an isolated experience,” Maislen said, “and by having these painters of various styles represent and interact with the audience, a deeper meaning of “Art” is elicited.” Sarah Gayle will be the featured artist for the Saturday, Dec. 10, matinée, followed by Amy Pattison for the evening performance. The Saturday, Dec. 17, matinée will feature Clayton Young, while the evening performance will be paired with work by Newport theatrical mainstay Stephan. Tickets, $15 in advance or $17 at the door, are available by calling 541265-ARTS and online at www.coastarts.org.

WATT A TREAT

Saddle up for Santa In Santa’s hectic winter schedule, no day compares to Christmas Eve, when Saint Nick puts in some hefty overtime to deliver gifts to children all over the world. But there are plenty of other long days in the run up to that globetrotting ﬁnale — days such as this Saturday, Dec. 10, when everyone’s favorite satin-suited celebrity will be at Mo’s Restaurant in Lincoln City for Miracle on 51st Street. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be receiving visitors from shortly after 4 pm until everyone has had a chance to pass on their Christmas wishes. “We’ll be there for as long as it takes to see every kid,” said Santa, speaking from beneath his lustrous, white beard. “If I have to fall asleep

in the chair, then that’s OK.” The event, organized by the Bay Area Merchants Association, will see the Claus couple set off from the Christmas Cottage at 4 pm, spirited to Mo’s by a North Lincoln Fire & Rescue fire truck, flanked by a posse of bikers wearing reindeer horns. Kids and adults alike can get their photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus in return for a donation of two cans of food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry. And the Clauses will also pose with pets in return for a couple of cans of pet food for the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. Mo’s Restaurant is located at 860 SE 51st Street. For more information, call, Stephanie Franklin at 541961-3065.

We at TODAY Towers are not privy to the instructions given out to commercial airline pilots heading in to Portland International Airport. But we sincerely hope that someone has let them know what’s going on at 2642 NE Holmes Road in Lincoln City. If not, a confused pilot could very easily attempt a landing at the home of “Christmas Lites Guy” Steve Prewitt, who, with help from longtime collaborator Marc McPherson has once again transformed his driveway into the biggest light show in town. McPherson said many people visiting the show have never seen a display as large or complex before. “You can see the Christmas spirit just racing through their body,” he said. “It kind of raises the hair on your arms when you see those kids just go ‘oh, dad!’ That in itself is worth the electricity bill and all the hard work we put into it.” With up to 50,000 bulbs burning in any one year, that electricity bill is significant, even with increased use of LEDs. To cope with the huge electricity demands, Prewitt has had extra breaker panels installed to allow for 1,200 amps of power to flow safely through the house. McPherson said a regular home that size would be wired for just 200 amps. But, despite the cost of staging the display, Prewitt will not accept a cent from anyone who comes to view it. Each year all donations received from visitors go to a worthy cause, with this year’s beneficiary being the Lincoln City Food Pantry @ Coast Vineyard Church. While visitors can watch

appreciate the detail in each of the models. Venturing out on foot also gives guests the chance to drop by Santa’s workshop, aka: the garage, which Prewitt and McPherson have transformed

into a grotto straight out of a winter wonderland, decked out with 5,000 fairy lights. Santa will be making special appearances at the workshop on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 23 and 24, listening to Christmas wishes and sending each kid home with a plush toy. Prewitt said the annual extravaganza is just his way of giving back to the community. “I’ve had a good life,” he said. “I invested well I don’t have kids. I don’t have to put away for college — I put away for Christmas lights.”

Say a little bird told you Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery will be celebrating color with its December exhibit, pairing the Chagalllike paintings of Victoria McOmie with the exquisite felt vessels of Laura G. Berman. The show, entitled “Three Rocks, Birding, Fishing and Art making,” opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Dec. 9, and runs through Jan. 9. The acrylic paintings of Victoria McOmie depict images based on her experiences at Cascade Head and on the Salmon River, just north of Lincoln City. McOmie grew up in the San Juan Islands of Washington, where being an artist seemed just as much a possibility as any other

occupation. She double majored in art and English at Lewis and Clark College, and after experimenting with installation art, ceramics and drawing, came to focus on painting as her medium of choice. “Process is important to my way of working,” she said. “The work is made of many

layers of paint. Plus, I use techniques of removing paint to such a point that I feel like an archeologist at a dig somewhere out in a remote desert. This is appropriate at a time in my life where it becomes more important to remove old beliefs, behaviors and collective cultural attitudes to get back to my own true nature.” Berman has been passionate about textiles since she began sewing at the age of eight. Growing up in the Paciﬁc Northwest, wool was a mainstay for warm clothing. After earning degrees in apparel and textiles, Berman retains her fondness for the material, favoring Australian merino wool for its ﬁne texture and softness and sometimes adding novelty

fibers for an element of dimension and surprise. “The wool top is already dyed but I use it as if I were mixing paints for highlights, shading, variegation, and color theory,” she said. “I also like to play with negative space in my design layout.” The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center, a converted schoolhouse located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. The 570-square-foot display space pairs antique elements, such as high ceilings and picture windows, with modern touches like a bamboo floor and track lighting. This non-profit public art space hosts 12 group or individual art shows a year. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to

Among the prizes on offer is a night’s stay in the B&B, whose rooms range from the Mariner’s duo, with their commanding views of the ocean, to the cozy Cape Cove Room, which looks out over Cape Creek Bridge. Breakfast in the morning is a gourmet, seven-course affair, with the menu changing depending on what’s in season. The inspiration for such a lavish breakfast came from the B&B’s original owners, Mike and Carol Korgan, who were both certified executive chefs when they moved to the Oregon Coast to start up their hospitality endeavor. The couple, who now divide their time between the coast and Portland, and are seldom far away during the holiday celebrations. “They are here pretty much every holiday season,” Korgan said. “We all stay at the house over Christmas.”

WHAT: Annual Victorian Christmas Open House

Few things in life are as spellbinding as an evening stroll to see a historic lighthouse send its beam cutting through the dusk — especially when the stroll ends with a sweet treat, a hot drink and a warm welcome. For 20 years, the Heceta Lighthouse B&B has been oﬀering just such a perfect evening at its Annual Victorian Christmas Open House. The event, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 10 and 11, and again on Dec 17 and 18, invites guests to admire the 1894 lighthouse up close before warming up with cocoa, hot cider and cookies at the B&B, located in the lighthouse keeper’s cottage. Visitors can admire the handsome furnishings and lavish decorations in the cottage’s reception rooms against a backdrop of live music from local performers including Ron Stanley, Polka Dots and Marty Adams. Meanwhile, in the parlor, Santa Claus awaits, ready to hear kids’ Christmas wishes and hand out candy canes. B&B owner Michelle Korgan said her parents started the event in their ﬁrst year of running the B&B under a contract with the US Forest Service, which owns the keeper’s cottage building.

WHEN: 4 to 7 pm, Saturday & Sunday, Dec. 10 & 11, 17 & 18 WHERE: Heceta Lighthouse B&B, 14 miles south of Yachats COST: Free but donations appreciated

Gary and Cyndie Quinn are among the volunteers who provide a warm welcome at the Keeper’s Cottage

“They thought ‘what a great opportunity to share the house with the community,’” she said. “It’s just perfectly set up for decorations.” “It’s been a traditional holiday event ever since,” she added. Korgan said she thinks the celebration’s longevity is due to the iconic stature of the lighthouse, which is often referred to as the mostphotographed spot on the Oregon Coast. “It’s an amazing landmark,” she said. “I’ve traveled the world and seen it pretty much everywhere I’ve gone.” Guests can park at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint,

located just oﬀ Highway 101, some 14 miles south of Yachats. From there, they can choose to either hop on the shuttle bus for the quick ride up to the cottage or to bundle up for a short evening hike. “On a nice night that’s not blustery, we will have 300 to 400 people make the stroll.” Korgan said. “Even on a blustery night about a hundred people will choose to walk.” Regardless of whether you shuttle or hike to the keeper’s cottage, it is well worth walking the extra few hundred yards to the lighthouse itself, which takes on a whole new dimension after dark. “It’s such a treat to be up

CHOIR WAXES LYRICAL AT WISHES AND CANDLES

The Central Coast Chorale will oﬀer two chances to celebrate all the wonderful moods of the holiday season with its Wishes and Candles concert this weekend, singing in Yachats on Saturday, Dec. 10, and in Newport on Sunday, Dec. 11. The concert centerpiece will be the “Gloria,” by Antonio Vivaldi, one of classical music’s most popular composers. With its sunny nature, distinctive melodies and rhythms, “Gloria” is characteristic of Vivaldi’s style and has immediate and universal appeal. The piece opens with a joyous chorus, featuring trumpet and oboe, and also contains several solos, which give an opportunity showcase individual singers from the chorus. The concert will also include several shorter holiday pieces, including John Rutter’s haunting “Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind” and Sweelinck’s “Hodie Christus Natus Est.”

Women of Note

A small orchestra of guest musicians will accompany the choir, and a troupe of dancers will perform “Kuimba,” a South African song of praise and celebration. Women of Note, the chorale’s female octet, will perform several pieces including a Manhattan Transfer-style version of “Snowfall” by Ruth and Claude Thornhill; the lovely, melodic “Something Told the Wild Geese” by Sherri

Porterﬁeld; and an intricate and entertaining madrigal “Throw Open the Shutters.” Performances will take place at 7 pm on Saturday at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N, and at 2 pm on Saturday, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street. Both concerts have a suggested donation of $10 for admission. For more information, call Chorale Director Mary Lee Scoville at 541-563-6830.

The joy from Brazil Acclaimed mandolin virtuoso Tim Connell will appear at Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center for the Arts this Saturday, Dec. 10, for an evening of “Brazil, Bach, Beatles and More.” Connell is well known to acoustic music fans as a top-tier mandolinist, touring internationally with Mike Marshall’s Ger Mandolin Orchestra and several of his own projects, including Mando Planet and Stumptown Swing. In addition to his solo

18 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • december 9, 2016

repertoire, he frequently performs with guitarist Mike Burdette as the duo Rio Con Brio. A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Connell is regarded as one of the top North

American interpreters of the Brazilian choro style on the mandolin. He has also developed his own unique voice for the instrument, described in a recent Mandolin Magazine cover story as “ﬁery and energetic, soulful and evocative.” Connell will team up with Burdette for Saturday’s concert, which begins at 7 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission will be $20 at the door and tickets are available from www. brownpapertickets.com.

Lincoln City artist Tracy MacEwan’s road to recovery will be the focus of a Saturday, Dec. 17, celebration at Volta Gallery, featuring a reading from his sister and caregiver. “My Brother’s Keeper: A Caregiver’s Story” by Wendy Mac Ewan Kroger details the frightening and diﬃcult journey Tracy faced after suﬀering a major stroke in 2011. Over the course of several years, Wendy became her brother’s caregiver, advocate, drill sergeant, mother — whatever helped. Together, they navigated their way through the myriad challenges of medical jargon, Medicaid, power of attorney, student loans and the IRS, assisted along the way by stellar professionals and unbelievable friends. Wendy learned about herself, lost 30 pounds and

Tracy MacEwan, with sister, Wendy

discovered a tenacity she didn’t know she had. Growing up in the mountains of rural Oregon, Wendy carried with her a love of place that she passed on to her brother. She was 10 years old when her little sister died. Two years later, her parents presented her with a baby brother. They said he belonged to her. She believed them. When he suﬀered his stroke, she had many questions but whether

or not to care for him was not one of them. Wendy lives in the Portland area with her husband, Bill, a novelist. Alongside Wendy’s reading and book signing, the Saturday, Dec. 17, celebration will feature a display of Tracy’s recent artwork. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served. All are welcome. The celebration will run from 4 to 7 pm at Volta Gallery, 4830 SE Hwy. 101.

CAPITOL LETTERS A veteran Oregon journalist will give his eyewitness account of the state’s wildest political decades at a Saturday, Dec. 10, book launch in Lincoln City. “Reporting the Oregon Story: How Activists and Visionaries Transformed a State” by Floyd J. McKay recalls a rollicking political atmosphere from 1964 to 1986, when Oregon crafted and passed its landmark beach bill to ensure the protection of ocean beaches for public use. The state also introduced the nation’s ﬁrst bottle bill after a heated battle, resulting in a deposit on certain beverage containers to encourage recycling. McKay had a front row seat, initially as a political reporter for The Oregon Statesman newspaper in

holidays

Knit to be missed Wretched woolens will be the star of the show on Thursday, Dec. 15, as the Family Promise Ugly Sweater Contest celebrates its 15th year at Salishan Lodge, just south of Lincoln City. Hosted by coastal musician and entertainer Bret Lucich, the cavalcade of questionable knitwear will serve as a fundraiser for Family Promise of Lincoln County, which provides shelter, meals and comprehensive assistance to homeless and low-income families with children. As well as ﬁnding the coast’s most jaw-dropping jumper, guests can enjoy live music, entertainment, prizes, raﬄes and plenty of holiday spirit. “The Ugly Sweater Contest with Bret Lucich is a really fun holiday event,” said

Family Promise President Sue Anderson. “I am always amazed at the creativity people express through the Christmas sweaters. Even for those who choose not to wear a holiday costume, the event is full of fun, spirit and dancing.” “During the holiday season we all like to give to others in the Christmas spirit,” Anderson added. “Family Promise can always use funding to help the families in the program get back on their feet. We are so grateful for holiday giving to boost us into the New Year.” The party starts at 7 pm in the Attic Lounge, upstairs at the lodge, 7760 Hwy. 101, Gleneden Beach. For more information about Family Promise of Lincoln County, call 541-614-0964.

Beacon-tent this Christmas The holiday traditions of 19th-Century lighthouse keepers will be brought to life this Saturday, Dec. 10, as the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area hosts its annual Victorian Holiday Celebration. “Visitors can enjoy traditional music by local musicians, caroling, and storytelling while sipping a cup of hot cider in a family friendly atmosphere,” said Yaquina Head Manager Janet Johnson. Festivities will take place in the interpretive center, a short stroll from the towering Yaquina Head Lighhouse. Throughout the day, families can participate in making Victorian-era crafts and decorating a tree donated by Miller Farms of Siletz through Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses. A full slate of

entertainment will begin at 10 am with open caroling, followed at 11 am by the High Tide NW Quartet. At noon, Mary-Beth Nickel and Friends will perform on harp, flute, drum and hammered dulcimer. Storyteller Doug Force will take to the stage at 12:45 pm with tales straight out of the 19th Century, followed at 1:15 pm by music from Spindrift on hammered dulcimer, mandolin and viola.
