CLAIMING A LEGACY The story of the first black woman to make a successful homestead claim in the Pacific Northwest is the centerpiece of a Black History Month event scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28, at Newport High School. The event, sponsored by the Newport Public Library Foundation and the Central Oregon Coast NOW Foundation, will see Jan Meranda and Dr. Bob Zybach give a presentation on property rights pioneer Letitia Carson. Carson, a former slave, was one of the first black women to cross the Oregon Trail in 1845, along with her white husband, David. Their daughter Martha was born along the way, and their son Adam came several years later. When David died, Letitia and her children were left out of his estate settlement, and their land was taken from her by Greenberry Smith, a wealthy white landowner. It took years of legal battles for Carson to finally regain her property. Zybach is a forest scientist with a Ph.D. in environmental sciences. He and Meranda, a writer and genealogist from Salem, have collaborated on researching Carson’s history for nearly 30 years. Jane Kirkpatrick drew on their research to write her 2014 novel “A Light in the Wilderness,” and Meranda recently published the first in

Tracy MacEwan, with sister, Wendy

The art of caring

her series of biographies on Carson, “Freedom’s Light: The Letitia Carson Story Begins.” Zybach’s article, “Strangely Absent from History: Carson vs. Smith, 1852-1857,” appeared in a recent issue of The Oregon State Bar Bulletin. The free presentation will

start at 6 pm in the high school’s Boone Center, 322 NE Eads Street. Copies of Meranda’s book will be available for purchase and signing. For more information, go to www.newportlibrary.org or call 541-265-2153.

Tales from the Trail The rigors of pioneer life will take center stage this Sunday, Feb. 26, as the Willamette Writers’ Coast Chapter welcomes novelist Janet Fisher as its guest speaker. Fisher, author of two historical novels based on settlers coming west via the Oregon Trail, will discuss

the process of writing and publishing her books. Fisher’s 2014 novel, “A Place of Her Own,” tells the story of her greatgreat-grandmother, Martha Maupin, who came west over the Oregon Trail in 1850. Martha defies her parents to marry Garrett Maupin, but their struggles

in this raw new land soon dash her dreams of an idyllic life. During the fractious run-up to the Civil War, they leave their Donation Land Claim in Lane County, fleeing to Douglas County just ahead of the law. When a wagon accident ends Garrett’s life, Martha dares buy a farm on

Lincoln City artist Tracy MacEwan’s road to recovery will be the focus of a Saturday, March 4, 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 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, Saturday’s 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 8 pm at Volta Gallery, 4830 SE Hwy. 101.

her own to take care of her family, now one of the few Century Farms in Oregon named for a woman. Fisher’s latest historical novel, “The Shifting Winds,” released in 2016 by the same publisher, also draws inspiration from Oregon history. Protagonist Jennie Haviland is torn from her prestigious academy in Utica, New York, when her father takes the family across the Oregon Trail to a frontier

brimming with contention between the British and Americans over who will gain the land. In Oregon, she meets handsome British Hudson’s Bay Company clerk Alan Radford, who asks to court her. But American mountain man Jake Johnston aims to shatter Alan’s plans for Jennie and the British plans for Oregon. Fisher has a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Oregon and has

taught college writing as well as writing freelance articles for newspapers. Two of her historical novels were ﬁnalists in the Paciﬁc Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest. Her Sunday presentation, which is free and open to all, will run from 2 to 4 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, go to http://willamettewriters. com/coast.

The free sessions, scheduled for Saturday, March 4, in Paciﬁc City and Sunday, March 5, in Waldport, will train volunteers to collect data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis. The information collected helps scientists address important marine

conservation issues and protect marine resources. Through an interactive, hands-on workshop, trainees will become acquainted with the custom COASST field guide, “Beached Birds,” and have a chance to try out their newly acquired identification skills on seabird species common to the North Pacific. The training provides volunteers with the tools to monitor for potential changes in the marine environment and promote stewardship of local marine resources.

The Central Coast Chorale will be celebrating Fat Tuesday in style with Mardi Gras in Newport this Tuesday, Feb. 28, offering a New Orleans playlist paired with decadent desserts that could tempt even the most virtuous virtuouso. The choir will perform several classic African American spirituals, three of which were arranged by New Orleans native Moses Hogan. Chorale member Forrest Fisher will step out from the tenor section to add a wailing soprano sax line to Hogan’s arrangement of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” The choir will also honor the jazz heritage of Mardi Gras with a piece by Dave Brubeck, “Blue Rondo a la Turk.” Women of Note, the chorale’s female octet, will also be performing a piece closely associated with Brubeck, Paul Desmond’s “Take Five.” Originally recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet for its 1959 album “Time Out.” “Take Five” was the first jazz single to sell one million copies and it remains the biggest-selling jazz single of all time. The octet will add to the fun with their rendition of “Java Jive,” an upbeat jazz number that proclaims great love for both coffee and tea. The evening will also feature a special guest Dixieland band The Shoreline Stompers, a septet of musicians who are also part of the Lincoln Pops Orchestra. Their original piece, “The Sweet Hallelujah Georgia Brown Chorus,” is a mashup of Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” and Ben Bernie’s “Sweet Georgia Brown,” most commonly known as the Harlem Globetrotters theme. The whole evening will conclude with a classic New Orleans-style second line parade to the tune of “Oh When the Saints” with the chorale leading the audience into Geneva Hall where a range of decadent, eat-em-before-Lent-starts desserts will be available for purchase. The concert will begin at 7 pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Newport, 227 NE 12th Street. Admission is by suggested donation of $10. For more information, call Chorale Director Mary Lee Scoville at 541-5636830.

Teens hit the screen, in Manzanita

If the teenager in your life communicates solely through a language of brief grunts and emoticons, it’s possible they might be in training to become the sort of short film creator celebrated by the Fresh Film Northwest program. If so, you can catch a glimpse of what their future works might look like this Friday, Feb. 24, when the Manzanita Film Series screens a selection of films created by teens from throughout the Pacific Northwest. The dozen short films were drawn

from entries to the Northwest Film Center of Portland’s competitions in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Entries were judged on freshness and originality, persuasive point of view, emotional impact, technical proﬁciency and successful risk-taking. Submissions came from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Vancouver, BC. The screening, which has a total running time of 60 minutes, will begin at 7:30 pm at the Hoﬀman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission will be $5.

Lincoln City’s Theatre West is looking for two women and four men to star in its upcoming production of “Barefoot in the Park,” a comedy by Neil Simon and the fourth oﬀering in the theater’s ongoing Season of Simon. Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-asan-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit, always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent ﬁnd. It is too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, the Bratters

get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco. Everything that can go wrong does. Directed by Bryan Kirsch, the play will run from May 4 through May 27, with performances at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays plus one 2 pm Sunday matinée on a date to be determined after the play is cast. Auditions will be held at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday, March 5 and 6, at the theatre, located at 3536 Hwy. 101.

Film lineup “Words Of Wisdom” A grandmother’s advice spurs a granddaughter into action. “Leo & Clark” Young men compare notes on the pursuit of happiness. “Home” Abby’s strange powers help her find a world to call home. “Abduction” A story of abduction and lost love. “Toccata” Striving for perfection, piano practice turns to obsession. “Living Honestly” What it’s like to come out to families and friends. “Losing Alberta” How gentrification has changed a Northeast Portland community. “What I Would Say” True feelings are revealed in hypothetical terms. “Buster Was A Man” What does it take to break out of a daily routine?

Art by the numbers Fractal artist Kevin Square will be the guest speaker at the Coastal Arts Guild’s Thursday, March 2, lunch meeting in Newport, explaining how he uses a mathematic process to create art that touches the viewer’s spirit. With no formal art training, Square tried his hand at a number of different art forms over the years. Traditional painting meant creating a cloud on the canvas only to find he wanted it a different color and a little to the left. He stumbled on fractal art

in 2006 and it just seemed to click. The digital medium made it possible for him to create that cloud but then manipulate it as the overall design progressed. The ‘fractal’ in fractal art comes from fractal geometry, a branch of mathematics that models the forms and textures seen in nature: clouds, trees and spiral forms to name a few. Square creates each element in his compositions individually, adding and revising layers, colors and parameters throughout the creative process. These

“Playtime” by Kevin Square

diﬀerent elements come together to create the ﬁnal composition. The March 2 lunch meeting will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport

Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, with Square’s talk beginning at noon. For more information or an invitation to attend, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624.

Returning to Lincoln City for the first time since his 2015 debut, Zimmerman will present two sets of traditional jazz, with accompaniment from pianist Jake Svendson and bassist Nate Parker. Zimmerman studied music at the internationally renowned Garfield High School, the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and Mills College in Oakland. His teachers have included Roscoe Mitchell, Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Morris and Anthony Coleman. In 2013, he was recognized as

the “Emerging Artist of Year” by Earshot Jazz. Based in Seattle, Zimmerman is an extremely versatile and integral part of the local creative-music community. As a bandleader, he can be seen performing classic bebop music from the ’40s and ’50s with his quintet, on the ﬁrst Thursday of every month at Egan’s Ballard Jam House. Zimmerman can also frequently be seen playing traditional jazz for swing dancers in a variety of bands all over the world. His playing channels the spontaneous melodic spirit of his heroes: Bix Beiderbecke, Lester Young and Lee Konitz above all. As an educator, Zimmerman maintains a

private studio for studies in jazz improvisation, saxophone and clarinet, and works as an ensemble director for Garﬁeld High School. His latest album is “Recording Ban,” which explores ’40s-era swing and bebop tunes. Tickets for Friday’s concert, $15 in advance and $17 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994 and online at lincolncityculturalcenter.org. Kids aged 18 and under will be admitted free. The concert will begin at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6:30 pm, 540 NE Hwy. 101. A selection of Northwest beers and wines, and Mountain Man savory snacks will be sold before the show, and during intermission.

Care to medal with an elk? Run, finish, get bling, at Lincoln City’s Elk Stampede Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Unless you’re the kind of person who wonders why anyone would run 13.1 miles, there are plenty of reasons that make the Lincoln City Half Marathon a great event. The Sunday, March 5, run offers a scenic course, a perfectly timed training race for people planning to run the Newport Marathon in June, and almost no chance of getting lost. But this race also has volunteers who — while they might not give you the shirt off their back — might well offer you the shoes from their feet. “There was a young girl who ran the race last year as part of an attempt to run a half marathon in every state in the US,” assistant race director Boone Marker said. “She had run the day before in Washington, and had somehow forgotten her shoes. We asked if anyone could help, and one of the girl scouts who was volunteering gave her shoes to the runner; it was so great.” Showing appreciation to their volunteers, who represent a number of local non-profits, including the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Lincoln City Kiwanis Club, the Taft High School soccer, golf, and track teams, Taft High Senior Parents, and CERT, has been a primary motivator for a course change. “The course is different this year, but in some ways it’s the same,” said race director Gail Kimberling. “We’re going back to our

roots. The race used to start at the High School track, but the landslide on Schooner Creek Road forced us to look for other options, so we ended up at Wapiti Park. This year, we’re back at the track, which is better for parking and the stands are great for spectators. But most importantly, since the school isn’t charging us anything, more of the proceeds can go back to our non-profits.” The course now, after turning on to Schooner Creek Road from the short section on High School drive, will follow along Schooner Creek for the entire race. The race also includes a 10K (6.2mile) option and welcomes both walkers and those who like to run with a canine companion. Kimberling, an avid runner who attends many races each year, has an impressive collection of medals in her office. So it’s no surprise that the race, now dubbed the Elk Stampede after a number of elk sightings during previous events, has a beautiful finishers medal that will be given to all finishers in both distances. T-shirts are also included for both distances in the registration price. Top female and male finishers will win a glass float, and ribbons will be awarded to the top three in the fiveyear age group categories. And as always, there will be food at the finish, including Mo’s chowder. A new finish feature this year will be live music provided by the Taft High band. Also new this year is a

spirit competition between the aid stations. The runners will get to weigh in on which group will win a not-yet determined prize. “We’re going to have to jazz it up a bit and do something spectacular,” said Jay Heck, a Kiwanis member who has helped at the race for the last seven races. “Maybe instead of handing out plain water, we could spike it with vodka, that would cheer everybody up.” Unfortunately for those runners who will reach that aid station, which is at the half marathon turnaround point, Heck was kidding. But even without the help of adult beverages, Heck says the aid station workers are never bored. “Some runners are out there just to have fun and look at the scenery, others are so intent on winning they don’t even talk to you. We always really enjoy the whole thing, even when the weather isn’t great.” After watching the fun for so many years, one might wonder if Heck is starting to want to jump in and join the competition. “Not even a little bit,” he said.

Boone Marker shows off this year’s finishers medal

The Elk Stampede will take off at 9 am from Taft High School ’s Voris Field, with an early start for walkers at 8 am. There are two packet pick up options, on race day from 7 to 8:30 am, or from noon to 3 pm on Saturday, March 4, at the Lincoln Community Center, 2150 NE Oar Place. Online registration is available at getmeregistered. com until March 3. For more information, f ind the Lincoln City Half Marathon page on Facebook.

Matinée

By Steve Sabatka Ever since my ‘97 Toyota Corolla caught fire on the northbound stretch between Newport and Depoe Bay, burned down to the rims, and started a small forest fire on the hillside, my everyday world has shrunk down to a patch of planet that’s about two miles in diameter. Walking distance, that is. That geographic postage stamp includes the city library, a pretty fair Japanese restaurant. The Pacific Ocean, of course. And the Shell station there on the corner of Highway 101 and Interstate 20. My friends say I spend too much time inside, at the counter, shoulder-toshoulder with failed prospectors, masterless Samurai, out of work pirates. But there at the crossroads, at the misty, mystic intersection of One Day at a Time, and Fake it ‘til You Make it, a place my good friend Cosmo Kramer might call The Nexus of the Universe, we talk and tell stories and ponder the Grand Order of All Things from different perspectives. And we stay out of trouble. “There I was, being chased by a yammering horde of half-naked naked pygmy women, all shooting at me with blow darts dipped in some kind of sub-Saharan hallucinogen . . .” But then Larry, AKA Laughing Larry, a man who swears he used to hunt U-Boats with Ernest Hemingway, started coughing through his beard again and we had to wait for the rest of the story. We. Andy and me, that is, staring out the front window and projecting Laughing Larry and the Pygmy Women onto the shimmering, theater screen of sea fog. Andy, a member of the Yurok Tribe, has wise, saintly, all-seeing, eyes of the type that took Michelangelo a lifetime to master. Evelyn, a pale, vampirish beauty, was behind the counter that day — tolerating the three of us, as usual, and knowing full well that we were sneaking glances at her, not directly, but through a complicated system of reflections — in window glass,

A publicity still for 1933’s “King Kong”

and the lenses of Andy’s vintage Wayfarer shades, strategically angled on the counter in front of us. Just as Larry caught his breath, and was about to continue with his adventure, he stopped. ”There she is.” Andy and I looked out into the salt fog and saw the dark shadow of a woman on the other side of 101, waiting to cross. Me: “Who is that?” Andy: “She looks familiar.” As the light changed, and as the mystery lady started across the highway, it was apparent that she was on the downside of advantage. She was dressed in shabby layers, and held a crumpled paper bag close to her body. But as she came closer, I noticed a swing to her walk, a smile on her face, and it was just as obvious that things hadn’t always been this way with her, and that, once upon a time, she had been the center of attention — in a ﬂash popping, red carpet, Hollywood premiere kind of way.

“You guys know her,” Larry said. “A long time ago, she was an actress, a movie star.” Then he held out the scarred, calloused hand of an experienced ﬁsherman and panhandler, and opened it ﬂat and empty. “Kong carried her in his palm.” Me: “Kong? King Kong? You’re telling me that’s Fay Wray out there, crossing the Interstate?” Larry: “That’s her, all right.” I knew it wasn’t true, couldn’t be true, and I still don’t know if Larry was just spinning another yarn, or if pygmy-blown psychedelics had caused him to actually believe what he was telling us. But, as those UFO posters all say, I wanted to believe. For Fay’s sake. And I wanted to believe that when the going got rough, she still remembered pool parties at Louis B. Meyer’s house, and orange trees growing in her back yard, and when the coast wind kicked up or brought hashing rain,

18 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 24, 2017

maybe she could still feel the warm, Santa Anna wind from those good old days. So I bought it. Hook, line, and banana peel. And then I saw The King, not Elvis, but Kong himself, emerging from the fog in all his black and white, slightly-jerky, stop motion magniﬁcence, bent and knuckle walking behind Fay and wincing a bit when his weight came down on his right, native-squishing foot. His lower lip hung down and away from worn but still fearsome teeth and his fur was turning silver at the edges. I saw the scars of a hundred dinosaur battles and a thousand searing bullets, and his great broken heart showed in his sad, crinkly eyes. But he was still every inch the Bad Ass. Andy saw the same thing. “They took Kong out,” he said. “Shot him down to the ground.” “Down by law.” Larry sounded as if he was talking about the assassination of a president, or an

archduke. “We may never learn the truth about what happened on that fateful day.” “Same thing happened to Harambe,” I said, channeling Oliver Stone — and immediately ruining the flow and awed tone of the conversation. Andy punched me in the arm. Hard. “We’ll have none of that,” Evelyn said, frowning behind the lottery tickets and the phone cards. “If you two want to fight, you can take it outside.” “Take care, young lady.” Laughing Larry can whisper things in such a way that his beard and mustache don’t move. It’s kinda like ventriloquism. “Next time the villagers storm the joint to pound a stake in your heart, maybe we won’t be so quick to intercede.” Fay and Kong were on our side on the Highway by now. Fay wobbled just a little in her high heels, but she still had that attitude, that classic, Hollywood flash and elegance, even after all these years. As she passed the window, I wanted to run outside and ask for an autograph. But then Kong came up behind her, all dewy fur and scarred muscle and stained, ivory fangs, growling and sounding for all the world like the down braking of a logging truck. And one sideways glance and the curl of an upper lip convinced me to stay put and mind my own business. The odd couple passed — on their way to who-knows-where — leaving a just-as-odd trio to consider what had just transpired, and then rank it with all the scenes we had observed out there in the mist and silvery rain: Ghost buccaneers on skate boards and Martian ballet dancers and low flying angels from Heaven. No more DT’s or flashback hallucinations for us. Just 100-proof imagination. That’s how we pass the time and get through the day. One day at a time, sweet Jesus. Steve Sabatka’s young adult novel, “Fister Fishback’s Monster,” is available from Black Bed Sheet Books.

“Really Rosie” is another case of great theater, in Newport By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY

There comes a time in every writer’s life when the content or subject matter of an assignment conjures up a host of preconceived notions, usually necessitating massive research and analysis in support or rebuttal of a point of view. Such was the case for me when asked to review Porthole Players’ “Really Rosie,” which begins its three-week run at the Newport Performing arts Center this Friday, Feb. 24. Admittedly, I had an instant bias about a “kids’ musical show” being slotted into three weeks of prime time community theater by a premiere Newport

production company. This is the same theater company that brought “My Fair Lady,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Avenue Q” to the central coast. After researching the script, written by the celebrated, creative guru of storytelling for all ages, Maurice Sendak, and listening to the music, crafted by the soulful Grammy superstar Carole King, I realized “Really Rosie” is an ageless, timeless tale packed with imagery, goal setting and lofty dreams. The musical score consists of 12 songs written by King with lyrics based on Sendak’s ’60s works “The Nutshell Library” and “The Sign on Rosie’s Door.”

The storyline takes place on a hot summer day in Brooklyn, where a group of neighborhood friends gather on ‘Avenue P’ to be entertained by Rosie, the self-proclaimed sassiest kid on her block. The children are bored and need something to do. Rosie envisions herself as a famous talented star, and decides to make an imaginary and somewhat exaggerated movie musical about her life. She gets the kids to audition for a role in her “ﬁlm,” but there are ﬁghts over casting. To keep their attention, Rosie decides that they need to close their eyes and imagine a producer inviting them to make her movie. When the children go home, Rosie dreams of stardom in her big number. The cast of six youth aged seven to 16 really ace their performances. Kenna Bertness shines as Rosie, handling the lead character with great skill, vocals and focus. Braylon Belloni portrays Johnny with such ease, it is certain we’ll see him on stage again. Kaylani Kittel nails the Alligator role with her versatility and

charm. Kody Bertness is the consummate Pierre, once again showing his talent on the Newport Performing Arts Center sage. Kylie MacDonald gives a delightful glimpse of adolescence as Kathy. And Lucy Furuheim is spot on as Chicken Soup, delivering a ﬁne performance with muster. Veteran actor Josh Lawrence makes his directorial debut with the talented Darcy Hogan as codirector and choreographer. Together they make magic with a young cast who sing, dance and enchant the audiences with panache. All the necessary ingredients for a toe-tapping musical are evident with clean blocking, rhythmic movements, colorful costumes and full use of props. Lawrence and Hogan credit vocal director Katrina

Theodore for her dedication to each actor’s timing, range, projection, clarity and overall singing ability. The production team is rounded out with Cyn Wilkes as stage manager and Milo Graamans as music director. Because of space limitations in the studio theatre, Graamans had to prerecord the entire musical score with musicians Jim Kuoni on guitar, Kevin Kemper on bass, Rick LeDoux on drums and Graamans on keyboard. “Casting this show was really diﬃcult because we had a lot of talented youth who auditioned,” Lawrence said. “The trick was picking six actors who most exempliﬁed their characters. We started rehearsals in September for two nights a week. We took the Christmas break, then stepped up rehearsals after

the New Year. There was a lot of material to learn and burnout can be a real factor. This is not a kid show, it’s an adult show with an adult schedule.” Producer Vickie Steen said that once the show closes at the Performing arts Center, it will become a road show, going to Sam Case School on March 14, Yaquina Elementary School on March 15 and Newport Middle School on March 16. “Really Rosie” will run from Friday, Feb. 24, through Sunday, March 12, with 7 pm shows every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées each Sunday.
