FIVE THINGS TO
1
LINCOLN CITY — Gliding around the dance floor to the sounds of big band classics is a Valentine’s Day dream for many — one that all too often goes unfulfilled due to an overabundance of left feet. Not this year. The Lincoln City Cultural Center’s Sweetheart Dance comes complete with a beginners’ class to maximize the fluttering of hearts and minimize the throbbing of toes. See page 17

NEWPORT — A chance to celebrate love in all its forms, the Love is Love event from PFLAG also offers an opportunity to celebrate a serious array of chocolate in the form of a delectable dessert buffet. Live music and

NEWPORT — If you find yourself surrounded by an unusually high number of lithe, graceful folks of the type that seem to float down the street rather than trudge, there’s only
from the editor
one rational explanation. Dancers from some of the nation’s finest artistic institutions have converged on Newport to perform in “Dances From the Heart,” the annual Valentines’ Day shows from the Pacific Dance Ensemble. The free performances give the dancers a chance to say ‘thank you’ to the community that gave them their first chance to step on stage. See page 14

BEAT BOX CAN WE CAJOLE YOU TO TRY THE CAJÓN? Story and photos by Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY
P
ercussion instruments are as old as humanity. Ever since the first cave man hit a rock with a club, and then tried it double-time, we’ve been laying down beats. Modern drums can be sophisticated as the tunable timpani played in symphony orchestras or as simple as the South American cajón. The cajón is basically a box, not much more. The cajón player, sitting on top of the box, uses his or her hand to strike its surfaces, producing a range of sounds. That’s it — it’s one of the simplest drums there could be. Alex Llumiquinga, a local Andean musician who builds, plays and offers workshops on the cajón (as well as many other South American instruments) recently introduced me to the instrument. “The cajón came from Peru, actually from the African slaves that came to South America with the Spaniards,” Llumiquinga said. “They weren’t allowed, of course, to bring their own native drums
and instruments with them, so they discovered that shipping crates made good percussion instruments.” After some experimentation, they added a sound hole in the back to enhance the drum’s resonance and modified the front panel into a tapa, a thinner playing surface that allowed for a better sound. An open seam is often left when the tapa is attached to the front of the box in order to provide a slight rattling vibration. Llumiquinga also showed me what’s known as a Flamenco cajón, popularized in Spain by modern Flamenco musician Paco de Lucía, which includes an internal snare. Llumiquinga’s personal favorite is a hybrid style with a snare that can be turned on or off with the turn of a knob. The cajón has been incorporated into Afro-Peruvian, Flamenco, Cuban rumba and Creole music, and is gaining in popularity in other genres as well. Llumiquinga not only knows how to play the cajón, he also builds them in his Otter Rock workshop. In the spirit of the original packing crate cajóns, he started building the box drums from marine plywood and is now experimenting with finer woods
Alex Llumiquinga with one of his hand-crafted cajóns
such as myrtlewood and Oregon maple. Some of his beautiful instruments are inlaid with exotic woods like purpleheart, but he especially enjoys working with local woods, which lend the instrument beautiful tones. Llumiquinga’s handmade cajóns are for sale at Red Lotus Music in Newport. Llumiquinga plays Andean flutes and stringed instruments in multiple South American folk music ensembles, performing folk tunes mostly by ear. He was a founding member, in his native Ecuador, of Chayag, an Andean folk music and dance ensemble. When he came to the US in 2001,
Llumiquinga kept Chayag alive, adding new members with varying musical backgrounds. Members now come from Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico and the US. Chayag performs and presents workshops at many local and regional festivals and events, offering not just music and dance, but a cultural history of the music, dances and instruments of the Andes. Llumiquinga is particularly interested in conducting workshops with young people, and he has just received a grant to run classes in local schools at which he will build cajóns with the students and teach them to play. He is also a member of Portland-
based Inka Jam, which performs Peruvian and other Latin American music in the Portland area — you can see them locally at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on April 7. Llumiquinga sat down to play a few cajón riffs for me, first demonstrating the proper technique, which uses the fingers rather than the palm of the hand to drum on the tapa. His lightning-quick hands hammered out intricate Andean and Spanishsounding rhythms. I especially loved the snare sound of the Flamenco cajón from a beautiful hybrid instrument he made himself. He modestly told me that his colleague, Luciana Proaño, a member of Inka Jam, is a real master cajón player; she was the one who suggested to him a year ago that with his woodworking skills, he should try building them. Llumiquinga and Proaño will be repeating the popular cajón workshop they offered in Newport in December on Saturday, Feb. 20, at 11 am, with a location to be announced (follow Inka Jam’s Facebook page for more information). Cost for the workshop is $15, and cajóns will be provided for those who don’t have their own. Llumiquinga encourages drummers of all levels to attend. “It’s one of the easiest percussion instruments to learn,” he said. “It’s a box.”

A CONSCIENTIOUS PRESENTATION
Visitors to Cape Perpetua will get a glimpse into the region’s past on Saturday, Feb. 13, when the Winter Discovery Series returns with a presentation on the coast’s role in World War II. Author and historian Steve McQuiddy will discuss how Camp Angell, which housed conscientious objectors just north of Yachats, might have laid the groundwork for the radical peace movement of the 1960s. From October 1942 until April 1946, Camp Angell was the second conscientious objectors’ camp in Oregon, detaining about 120 objectors. A brochure circulated at the time, penned by renowned poet William Everson, described the camp as a “School for Fine Arts,” and men with interests or experience in the creative arts were invited to transfer to the camp. “These people had an enormous effect on an entire generation,” McQuiddy said. “But many Americans today are not even aware that there were conscientious objectors at all during World War II.” During the day, the men worked planting

trees, crushing rock, building roads, chopping wood and fighting forest fires. At night, however, they produced books, plays, art and music — giving up to 15 community performances a week. The camp produced such literary works as “War Elegies” and “Waldport Poems” by Everson and “Horned Moon” by Glen Coffield. After the war, McQuiddy said, camp members went on to influence other cultural events which eventually led to the radical peace movement of the ’60s. “Nearly all the great social movements in history can be traced to small groups working in obscurity, sometimes for years,” McQuiddy said. “It’s powerful to actually see the evidence of how small actions really can make a big difference.” McQuiddy’s free presentation will begin at 2 pm in the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, 2400 S. Hwy. 101, three miles south of Yachats. A Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Passport or $5 day-use fee is required within the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. For more information, call 541-547-3289.

The Great Oregon Army and return of the SOBs
I
t has begun — the massing of a great Oregon army. The army is leaderless as far as a single individual goes. The leader is the people of Oregon. Anyone who has ever enjoyed one minute on the state’s publicly owned beaches is a soldier in the army. Isn’t that all of us. Isn’t that you? Isn’t that your dog? On Friday, July 7, 2017 the army will wage a monumental 24-hour campaign to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the famous 1967 Beach Bill that protected the dry sands areas of our ocean beaches from privatization and prudery. No symposiums. No panel discussions. No speechifying. No power points! No meetings and mission statements. No scholarly articles with footnotes. Rather, we will party. On the beach. All day and all of the night. The goal is to put 50,000 Oregonians on the socialist beaches from Hammond to Brookings doing what we’ve done for generations. I want it to become an international spectacle. I want Fox news anchors shaking their blow-dried heads at all the organic Oregonians. Driftwood forts, hackey sack, sand castles, sculptures, cairns, football, walking, running, meandering, meditations, bonfires, amorous avocations, kite flying, perch fishing, sea stripping, surfing, paddle boarding, clamming, rock hounding, limpet hunting, weddings, divorces, kelp flogging, salmon bakes, reading, brooding, reflecting, baptisms, ablutions. Who cares what you do that day or night. Just be there! It won’t cost anyone a cent because this is Oregon and decades ago we decided to take a different, better path to preserve the “great birthright” as former Governor Oswald West memorably described our publicly owned beaches. The Governor of Oregon better show up or we need a new governor. What are you doing to protect it? Will you commit to July 7, 2017 and hit the beach? Will you send a message to the malevolent forces that would try to undermine or overthrow the great
birthright? These forces are legion and relentless and they have to be pulverized every now and then in a very public fashion. Virtually every week I receive an email from a coastal resident who reports of another violation of the great birthright. • A beachfront property owner in Rockaway wants to install more riprap • An Arch Cape couple claims part of the beach as their private fiefdom • A new mansion in South Beach blocks a path to the beach used for half a century • A beach access in Lincoln City being overrun by vehicles • An old nemesis to the Beach Bill resurfaces in Neskowin • A proposed golf course in South Tillamook County that would desecrate a pristine beachfront area • Beach access signs disappear and disappear And so on. Back in 1967, a group of citizens formed a political organization called Citizens to Save Oregon Beaches to help pass the Beach Bill when it faced almost insurmountable odds. The “SOBs,” as their opponents quickly dubbed them, didn’t have one paid staffer. They were the people — you. The SOBs won. They would not give up. I have reformed the SOBs to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Beach Bill. The new SOBs are going to take it to a whole new level. We have new skills and new weapons. Don’t you want to join? Don’t you want to enroll your children, grandchildren? Your dog, too? Are you ready for a noble purpose? To get off your ass and work for a better Oregon for the next generation? Go to www.nestuccaspitpress.com and join the 7-7-17 celebration. Enlist everyone you know. And get ready to party. 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. He can be reached at nestuccaspitpress@ gmail.com.

Birding: minus the burden
If the phrase ‘birding field trip’ conjures up images of slogging through hip-deep mud while weighed down with hefty binoculars and industrial quantities of trail mix — think again. On Saturday, Feb. 13, the Audubon Society of Lincoln City is offering a birding trip around Siletz Bay that is tailor made for people with limited mobility. The walking and driving tour will include stops at many disabled-accessible viewing areas around the bay, including Cutler City, Siletz Keys and the Salishan Nature Trail. Siletz Bay regularly hosts thousands of wintering waterfowl and shorebirds including ducks, loons, grebes, raptors, shorebirds, gulls and herons. Winter storms can bring unusual birds in addition to creating unusually difficult viewing conditions. The free trip will set off at 9 am from Taft Dock, next door to Mo’s Restaurant at 860 SW 51st Street. The group will carpool if possible because of limited parking at some viewing spots. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks can be provided. For more information, call 541-992-9720.

Sew awesome Gardeners will have a chance to play their part in creating a durable local food system on Saturday, Feb. 13, when Nehalem’s White Clover Grange holds its third annual seed exchange. Entitled “Give Seeds a Chance,” the free event allows guests to take their pick from a variety of herb, vegetable, flower and native plant seeds brought along by fellow attendees. New gardeners and those without seeds to share are still welcome to take seeds home. Seeds should be stored
in small envelopes or zipsealed baggies and marked with as much information as possible, such as: plant, variety, area grown and production qualities. Guests will also be able to mingle with fellow gardeners as well as peruse handouts, books and other resources. The event will run from 11 am to 2 pm at the White Clover Grange, 36585 Hwy. 53, about two miles from Highway 101 near Mohler.
A round table discussion on techniques and the importance of seed saving will take place at 1:30 pm. For more information, call 503-368-6874.

Seedy advice Both collected seeds and commercially packaged seeds are welcome, but seeds that are several years old should be tested for viability. If you are not sure if a batch of seeds is still good, take a sampling of them (10 or so) and place between two moist paper towels in a warm place to see if they germinate. If half or more sprout you’re good to go.
Black-faced Spoonbill by Roy W. Lowe
Birds without borders Birds don’t carry passports — a fact that is reflected in this month’s offerings from the Yaquina Birders & Naturalists, which range in focus from China all the way to the Oregon Coast. On Thursday, Feb. 18, Roy Lowe will give a presentation on how the loss of China’s coastal wetlands is impacting birds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. “As a result of the economic growth in China, large areas of coastal wetlands are being filled and converted for development purposes,” Lowe said. “Loss of mudflat habitat is impacting migratory shorebirds and other birds that depend on these wetlands.” As a member of Global Parks, Lowe traveled to Hong Kong three times last year to assist in providing training to Chinese coastal wetlands managers. His presentation will include numerous photos of Asian birds. The free presentation will start at 7 pm at the Central Lincoln PUD, 2129 North Coast Highway in north Newport. For more information, call 541-265-2965 On Saturday, Feb. 20, Dawn Harris will lead a birding field trip through the freshwater sloughs and shrubby woodlands of Toledo. The group will make stops along Olalla Slough and Toledo’s historic waterfront to search for wintering waterfowl including hooded merganser, wood duck, northern pintail and green-winged teal as well as scanning woodlands for hawks, eagles and a variety of sparrows. The free, two-hour trip will start at 9 am at the Toledo Dairy Queen parking lot along Hwy. 20. For more information, call 541-961-1307.

A decent proposal Registration is now open for a workshop from literary agent Chip MacGregor on how writers can craft the perfect proposal when approaching a publisher. Held at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts, the Feb. 20 workshop will look at the big picture as well as the small details that can help make a fiction or
nonfiction proposal stand out from the crowd. MacGregor will also give advice on how writers can pitch their work and will take questions from guests at the end. The workshop will from 9 am to noon at the center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Tuition is $30. To register, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org.

HOW BECOMING...
The Great Speaker Series at Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will continue on Saturday, Feb. 13, when historian Robert Hamm gives his take on the origins of Oregon. “Becoming Oregon: From Expedition to Exposition” will look at some of the factors that influenced Oregon’s development, from the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery to the East Coast newspapers. Hamm started his teaching career in the Lake Oswego School District and went on to teach English at Aloha High School in
Beaverton and West Linn High School. In the late 1980s, he
moved with his family to Urbana, Illinois, where he was recruited to work for the National Council of Teachers of English. He was later appointed building administrator at West Linn High School and then spent 10 years as director of personnel for the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. The free program will begin at 1 pm at 2106 2nd Street. This program is sponsored by the museum’s Daisy Fund and is free and open to all ages. For more information, call 503-842-4553.
Blessed are the piece makers Washington ceramicist Jane Perrigo will visit Manzanita later this month to lead a workshop on how to create fun and whimsical mosaic pieces out of broken ceramics and found items. The Saturday, Feb. 27, workshop will run from 10 am to 3 pm at The Hoffman Center for the Arts. Tuition for the class will be $45 with a $30 materials fee. The materials fee will cover
cutters, prepared mirrors, some ceramics, glue and demonstration grout. Students will be asked to bring gloves, dishes and found objects to be used for projects. Perrigo, of Tonasket, Washington, has been teaching for 20 years. She shows at the Astoria market and has been featured in galleries throughout the northwest, including Nehalem.

A CUT ABOVE Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery will celebrate the work of Elena Nikitin in a new exhibit of thought-provoking — and sometimes gravity-defying — work that opens this Friday, Feb. 12. “Another Place, Another Time” features works in a range of mediums, from collage, oils and watercolors to cut-paper sculptures, suspended in mid air and laced with detail. The Friday opening reception will run from 5 to 7 pm, giving guests the chance to enjoy wine, refreshments and an opportunity to meet the artist. Nikitin has a degree in architecture and a background in crafting Palekh miniatures, a Russian folk technique that uses tempera paints to decorate small, varnished papier-mâché items such as boxes and powder cases. In all her work, Nikitin strives to capture a moment in time using more senses than just sight, allowing viewers to project their own thoughts of time and place on to the artwork. “I try to paint the sound of the trees and landscapes,” she said. Since the late 1990s, Nikitin has had four exhibits in galleries in Portland. More recently, she has worked as a fashion designer in her own atelier, Lena Couture. She has produced seven solo fashion shows in Portland, featuring couture clothing and art of her own design, including full-scale dresses from paper. The show will be on display until Monday, March 7, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm daily except Tuesdays. The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101 For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS Unusual interpretations of works by Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert will be on offer this Sunday, Feb. 14, when internationally known string quartet Quatuor Danel visit the coast to play the fourth concert of the Neskowin Chamber Music season. The quartet, featuring Marc Danel and Gilles Millet on violin, Vlad Bogdanas on viola and Yovan Markovitch on cello, was founded in 1991 and performs works by classical and contemporary composers. Danel musicians pay special attention to Russian composers, championing the string quartets of Shostakovich and recording unknown works by his longneglected contemporary, Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Members of Quatuor Danel enjoy teaching young musicians in general and string quartets in particular. To this end, they have been artist-in-residence at the University of Manchester since 2005, working closely with musicologists Barry Cooper and David Fanning. Their recordings have also earned awards in the US and various Europeans countries. Upcoming recording projects consist of three Tchaikovsky quartets, the Quartet and Piano
Quintet by Franck and a longerterm project combining all the string quartets of Haydn and late Beethoven. They come to Neskowin in the middle of a concert tour that will take them to major halls in
Brussels, Amsterdam, Moscow, Paris, London, Madrid, Vienna, Milan, Tokyo and New York. Sunday’s concert will begin at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, located three miles north of Neskowin, just off Highway 101.
Tickets are $25 at the door. For more information, call 503-9656499. The group will also give a free concert at 10 am on Monday, Feb. 15, at the Presbyterian Church in Pacific City.

Hearts and flowers will bedeck the walls of Newport’s Oregon Coast Community College campus on Saturday, Feb. 13, as PFLAG hosts its annual Valentine Party, Love is Love. Newlyweds, gay and straight, young and old, will be the guests of honor at the party, which will feature a host of traditional and modern love songs from local band Past Forward. Teen poets and writers representing the Gay/Straight Alliance Clubs from Lincoln County high schools will read their work, and adults will read striking modern and traditional love poetry. Guests can also enjoy a selection of delightful and decadent Valentine-themed desserts donated by the best bakers from several local churches and by PFLAG members. Toledo United Methodist Church volunteers are preparing a table of hearts, flowers, glitter and glue for guests to create their own hand-made Valentine Cards to surprise their loved one. Guests can also buy a Sweetheart Photo from photographer Jerry Thompson, who will be on hand to create lasting memories of a very special day.
