‘A trained professional’ The story of Toledo’s railroad will be on offer this Thursday, March 3, when historian Lloyd Palmer gives a presentation to the MidCoast Watersheds Council in Newport. Palmer, whose interest in Oregon railroad history dates back 45 years, currently serves as historian for the Yaquina Pacific Railroad Historical Society in Toledo. He authored the book “Steam Towards the Sunset, the Railroad History of Lincoln County,” which was first published by the Lincoln County Historical Society in 1982 and has since been reprinted twice. A native Oregonian, Palmer spent almost his entire career at the U.S. Forest Service ranger station at Waldport before retiring in 2003. Since that time, he has remained active, researching Oregon’s railroad history and photographing trains throughout the western
states. He spends much of his time collecting old photos and maps, hiking and documenting abandoned railroad grades and writing the occasional magazine article. In addition to his involvement in the railroad club at Toledo, he is also a member of the Pacific Northwest chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, located in Portland. Palmer’s presentation will begin at 6:30 pm at the Central Lincoln PUD, 2129 N Coast Hwy., across from the Safeway complex in Newport. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
Marsh on down to the pub The impact of rising sea levels on the Oregon Coast’s tidal marshes is the subject of a Science Pub event set for Tuesday, March 1, at Pelican Pub & Brewery in Pacific City. The event, hosted by the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council, will feature a presentation from Laura Brophy, a wetland scientist with more than 25 years of field experience. Her presentation will focus on a multi-agency project designed to analyze how sea level rise might affect
tidal wetlands in estuaries along Oregon’s coast — and determine where the tidal wetlands of the future might be. Brophy will describe early draft results and how they can be used, and will seek the audience’s feedback and questions. The March 1 event will start at 6 pm at the Pelican Pub & Brewery, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Drive; doors open at 5:30 pm. Some appetizers will be provided. Dinner and drinks will be available for purchase.

n an election year, finding politicians with the courage of their convictions and bipartisan appeal is no easy task. But on March 4 and 5, Newport will talk a break from the polls, pundits, border walls and email scandals to celebrate the legacy of Oregon’s most colorful, quirky and accomplished governor, Tom McCall. McCall, a television journalist and political commentator, served as Oregon’s governor during the socially and politically turbulent years of 1967 to 1975. The two-day symposium will see McCall experts present some largerthan-life facts and tackle some of the fabrications surrounding the beloved and, at times, controversial governor. The symposium kicks off at 6 pm on Friday, March 4, with a screening of McCall’s landmark 1962 KGW-TV documentary, “Pollution in Paradise” plus an introduction and post-screening Q&A led by William G. Robbins, emeritus distinguished professor of history at Oregon State University. A sharply critical report of the condition of the Willamette River, “Pollution in Paradise” was a tour de force, pressing home the powerful idea that there was no contradiction between jobs and quality of life in Oregon. The symposium will continue at noon on Saturday, March 5, with “Frenemies: Tom McCall and Bob Straub” by Charles K. Johnson, biographer of former Oregon Governor Bob Straub. Although McCall and Straub faced each other for the
Governor Tom McCall
governorship twice, they often worked together to advance environmental causes. Two of Oregon’s most prominent broadcast journalists from the 1970s and 1980s will also be presenting on Saturday. Paul Hanson, who has been a news director of several radio stations and was KATU’s political reporter in the early 1980s, will screen his documentary, “A Nice Place to Visit: The Legacy of Tom McCall.” Floyd McKay, who followed McCall as KGW’s political commentator, will talk about his forthcoming book, “Reporting the Oregon Story.” And Lincoln County Commissioner
Bill Hall will be on hand to talk about his novel “McCallandia,” an alternate history that imagines McCall ascending to the presidency. Hall was a volunteer on McCall’s 1978 comeback campaign and met the former governor several times. This symposium, co-sponsored by the Lincoln County Historical Society and the Tom McCall Legacy Bill Project, will take Hall place at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center on Newport’s Bayfront. Admission is $5, or free for Lincoln County Historical Society members. For more information, go to http:// oregoncoasthistory.org.

I
t was 8 am on a late December morning, cold, dry, windless. I parked the truck, lifted Sonny the old blind husky out of the cab, and carried her a short distance to the beach. I put her down on the sand and she came to life, sniffing at the old smell of the ocean. She wandered away, doing her olfactory thing, and I followed her, doing my observation thing. They’re pretty much the same activity when you get right down to it. A crumpled piece of notebook paper caught my attention. I went over and picked it up because I will always pick up a piece of stray notebook paper at the beach in the age of the Internet and text messaging and it’s never about collecting trash. Words are handwritten on these papers and words tell stories and document personal histories. I also enjoy the sheer randomness of encountering someone I will never meet or know. The paper was dry, meaning that someone lost or discarded it that very morning because rain had fallen the night before. It was lightly wrinkled and I deduced someone had balled it up one time. I straightened the paper out and examined the handwriting: beautiful old school cursive and almost certainly in a woman’s hand. The note read: Morning! I need a break so (I’m) going to spend some time at library today. + get screws for steps etc. - Have a lot to think
about—Sorry a little selfish lately, but right now, with all that is going on—broken car, work, water heater, and “your health,” can’t help but want you more! Really need you to “want” me sexually! I know u don’t feel 100% but—I’m sorry, guess it’s my way to relieve stress over everything! Your health worries me and things could change shortly where we won’t be able to be “close.” - ? Just need you to want me—all of these things putting a pretty big strain on me, Be back later on— Love you!!! Xxxoo Star Wars! Will be fun! It was easily the best note I’ve ever found and set my mind racing with questions and observations: 1. Was the note actually read by the intended recipient or did the writer throw it away before delivery? 2. If the recipient did read it, why throw it away? 3. How did this note get to the beach? 4. Where are these people in their lives? 5. Hell, yes sex is important! 6. Going to the library does relieve stress — as does walking on the beach. 7. I loved how the writer underlined words for emphasis. No stupid ALL CAPS or emoticonsſ. 8. I loved seeing classic cursive on paper. Long live cursive!
6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 26, 2016
9. Is seeing the new “Star Wars” movie really going to be that much fun? I loathed what the director did with his Star Trek reboot. 10. Will these two work it out? 11. Why didn’t the writer of the note use the recipient’s name in the greeting or sign off with her name at the end? Don’t most people sign their notes? 12. If I write about this note, will the author of it ever read my thoughts? 13. How many people ignored this crumpled piece of notebook paper on the beach that morning? 14. Maybe no one ignored the note. Maybe I was the first one to see it. 15. Why do I always seem to find these human artifacts at the beach? 16. Maybe I should write a note on paper and leave it behind at the beach. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel.” They are available at coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

THE FEST SHOW IN TOWN
Oregon Coast audiences will have a second chance to dive into the maelstrom of the modern festival scene this weekend as “Festival the Show” returns to Newport by popular demand. New Visions Arts will present the satirical send up of festivals and festival-goers for two nights, Thursday, Feb. 25, and Friday, Feb. 26, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Each night, the young performers will bring the colorful subculture and its characters to life through mediums including sketch comedy, physical theatre, guerrilla theatre, music, dance and circus arts. The three leading creators of “Festival the Show” are Ethan Zirin-Brown, Lacy Todd and Adam Doyle. ZirinBrown aka: “eZeL” is a producer, performer, composer and musician born
and raised in Newport. After 10 years of teaching theater, improvisation and film study, he decided to focus on his own comedy creations as well as composing dance beats for his latest electro-vaudeville project, Sepiatonic. Doyle began drumming and training in various performance arts at an early age. As a hip-hop emcee and percussionist for various musical groups, he has played more than 150 shows in the Pacific Northwest. In 2009, he discovered a love for postmodern dance. Since then, he has trained and performed professionally for several dance companies and projects on the West Coast. Perhaps his deepest and oldest passion however, is the act of making people laugh, a skill he put to use in the development of “Festival the Show.” Todd, a native of the Oregon Coast, spent her

AN OUTSIDE BET
get out! THE TILLAMOOK COAST HEATS UP IN WINTER
Winter is surprisingly mild on the Oregon Coast, but if you’re lucky enough to catch a storm, that makes winter outdoor adventures even more fun. Visit Tillamook Coast has been talking to locals about how to enjoy the outdoors year-round, and here are 10 adventures they recommend.
8. Birding and wildlife watching
1. Golfing on the sand at Manzanita The historic nine-hole Manzanita Golf Course has one big advantage over other courses on the Oregon Coast — it’s built on sand. Water doesn’t pool on top of it, like grass courses. Fairways and greens stay relatively dry, just like sand on the beach, so you can tee off any time of year.
2. Hiking waterfall trails
If you want to see waterfalls in all their gushing glory, winter is the time to do it. Wear waterproof shoes, not because the trails are particularly muddy or wet, but because the forest’s soft dewiness is in evidence everywhere.
3. Metal detecting
Beachcombing is a year-round pursuit, but it winter, the payoff is fascinating, especially if you hit the shore with a metal detector. Locals await eagerly the first seasonal storms to seek
one catch after another. Cast your line in the Nehalem, Kilchis, Wilson, Trask and Nestucca Rivers.

channels accessible only in winter when tides are at their highest. Take a guided paddle with Kayak Tillamook and discover the beauty of winter waterways.
4. Camping in state parks
Winter campers find peaceful pleasures on the Tillamook Coast. Summer’s crowds have left, and those pitching trailers, RVs or setting up in yurts (and even a few tents) find themselves among kindred spirits. Bring a book, a journal and a cozy blanket, and let the stars be your reality show. Nehalem Bay and Cape Lookout state parks are open year-round.
5. Kayaking winter water trails
The Tillamook Coast is a magnet for yearround paddle sports. Five estuaries are designated National Water Trails. But there are
6. Scuba diving in the bays
Above water, the Tillamook coastline is beautiful. Underwater, it’s a fascinating environment that the few who love to dive are lucky enough to see. Top spots are in Garibaldi, Oceanside and Tillamook Bay.
7. Fishing for steelhead
Tillamook County’s five main rivers flow with steelhead in winter, and after a big rain, steelhead go from a fish of a thousand casts to
Be warned: birdwatching is addictive, as is wildlife viewing. And winter brings a wealth of possibilities, from migratory birds that find the Tillamook Coast a perfect place to spend the season, to magnificent elk herds that navigate their way from forest to beach. Start at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge south of pacific City and be sure to make time for the new birdwatching station at Kilchis Point Reserve, just north of Tillamook.
9. Catching Dungeness crab
While crabbing is always in season, winter brings the biggest bounty. Drop traps in the five bays from a boat, or catch from a dock. Take them home in a cooler or get one of the fish processing companies at a nearby dock to cook them for you.
10. Take a farm tour
The Dairylands Tour from Tillamook Eco Adventures gives you a cow’s eye view of local dairy farms and treats you to the storytelling skills of guide Brian Cameron.

ARTIST LEAVES NOTHING OUT
The great outdoors will be coming inside at the Tillamook Forest Center throughout March, with a new exhibit of wildflower and plant illustrations from noted naturalist Dorota Haber-Lehigh. Entitled “Forest Flora,” the exhibit will open on Wednesday, March 2, showcasing a range of botanical drawings that emphasize sculptural qualities of nature. Born in Poland, HaberLehigh is an educator, artist and forager loves traveling, sketching and discovering nature. She is inspired by her grandparents, who were avid mushroom hunters and gardeners, as well as her father’s travels and her mother’s fabric art. Her favorite media is pen and ink, color pencils, soft pastels and, more recently, watercolors. Haber-Lehigh has self-published two coloring books, “ABC of Native Plants of the Coastal Pacific Northwest” and “Native Berries of the Pacific Northwest.” She is currently working on another book about native wildflowers. She lives in Seaside, with her husband and aminiature schnauzer as well as other wild creatures of the forest. For more information, go to www.dorotahaberlehigh.com. The exhibit, which runs through March 30, will also include select pieces from artists Laleña Dolby, Peggy Biskar, Nancy Bond and Jan Wieting.

WINE AND BRINE The Flying Dutchman’s award-winning wines are made just steps from the thunderous surf at Otter Rock Story by Nancy Steinberg Photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
J
ust offshore from the tiny community of Otter Rock is the rock formation known as the Devil’s Punchbowl, which fills with foamy sea water on the high tide, surging and bubbling and throwing salt spray into the air. Nearby, a man and his helpers stir and mix and taste their own dark concoctions, tinged with the flavor of the briny air a stone’s throw from the bubbling cauldron of the punchbowl. But the man is no devil, and his brew is far from diabolical: Dick Cutler is the perpetually sunny proprietor and head wine-maker of Flying Dutchman Winery, which makes its small-batch, award-winning wines onsite in a tiny building on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Dick has been working on mastering the art of winemaking — he calls it “a hobby out of control” — since he founded Flying Dutchman in 1997. While he has benefited from the mentorship of a number of winemakers over the years, Dick is essentially self-taught. For
him, the process is all about the taste — the taste of the grapes, the taste of the wine as it ages in his oak barrels, and the taste of the final product. Dick explains that great wine starts in the vineyard. He buys grapes from a range of growers in the Willamette, Columbia and Rogue Valleys, and he and his assistant wine-maker, his daughter Debbie, insist on tasting the grapes and dictating when they’re harvested. Once picked, the grapes are brought to the Otter Rock winery and placed in great vats overlooking the ocean for the “cold soak,” where they sit in water to extract color and flavor from the skins (white grapes are crushed immediately, skipping this step). Thanks to cool coastal temperatures, this phase can last longer than at other wineries. After about two weeks, the crush begins. This year, Flying Dutchman pressed 12 tons of grapes, which will result in about 1,200 to 1,300 cases of wine in red and white varieties including Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and two varieties new to the Dutchman: Tempranillo and Petit Syrah. “The Petit Syrah and Tempranillo grapes were

exciting,” Debbie said. “We could see the difference during the crush — the color was just amazing.” Alas, wine-lovers will have to wait a good long time before tasting any of these wines. There are many steps between grape juice and fine wine; and reds, especially, can take years to age to perfection. “Whoever said ‘We will sell no wine before its time’ had it right,” Dick said.
After a primary fermentation of two to three weeks in stainless vats, the nascent wine is moved to the iconic French and Hungarian oak barrels in the Flying Dutchman tasting room. Then what? Taste, taste, taste. Dick and Debbie taste from all the wine barrels about every two weeks, looking for maturity, flavor profiles, acidity and more. Dick will blend varieties to enhance or complete flavor profiles, and simply keep

tasting until the wine is ready to be bottled. That process takes months to years: a recent small batch of Cabernet Sauvignon was bottled after six and a half years in the barrels. Dick’s good taste has paid off, as Flying Dutchman wines have earned a string of prestigious awards, including Best in Show for their 2006 Syrah at the 2014 Newport Seafood & Wine Festival. They’ve earned some new bling from the Seafood & Wine Festival this year too, a silver medal for their 2008 Merlot reserve. (You can taste the Dutchman goods, and purchase them too, at this year’s festival, running from Thursday, Feb. 25, through Sunday, Feb. 28.) Dick is particularly pleased that his “hobby out of control” is being carried out with the help of family. Debbie will take over as head wine-maker someday. His other daughter, Danielle, helps on the business side of things, and his son, Ted, helps with marketing projects. He is
quick to point out that the other employees of Flying Dutchman are like family, as well. The Flying Dutchman’s cozy tasting room is open to visitors year-round for free tastings and pre-arranged barrel tastings and tours (for a fee). The barrel tastings are remarkable — Dick will regale you with more information than your brain can hold about the process of winemaking while offering tastes of what’s to come, sampling right out of the oak barrels. The wine shop and tasting room also serves as a wonderful local gift shop, featuring many treasures from local vendors. In better weather, the Dutchman’s back yard is a hidden paradise where you can indulge in a picnic and a bottle of incredible wine with one of the best views on the coast. For more information, visit the winery at www. dutchmanwinery.com or at in person at 915 First Street in Otter Rock, or call at 541-7652553.

beautiful beaches, bays and spits each year, threatening the health of our wildlife and coastal communities,” said SOLVE Program Coordinator Joy Irby. “While this is a worldwide problem, local citizens have the power to make a difference here on our own shores.” At last spring’s event, more than 5,100 volunteers removed nearly 68,000 pounds of debris from the coast, contributing to the 3.3 million pounds that have been picked up since the first coastwide cleanup in 1984. Volunteers at this year’s event are encouraged to bring old colanders or kitty litter scoops to sift the tide lines for tiny plastic pieces, harmful to local wildlife. Bags and gloves are provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring reusable gloves and buckets to reduce the amount of plastic waste. SOLVE welcomes families, schools, business groups and individuals of all ages to join together in clearing the entire Oregon Coast of trash.

¡® ¤ ¡ £¤ £¤§Ń The Coastal Arts Guild will offer an enchanting program at its Thursday, March 3, lunch, with a visit from fairy house builders John Curtis Crawford and Bridget Wolfe. Crawford and Wolfe, co-owners of Toledo-based Fairy Woodland, create miniature houses, woven with branches and set with stone, to offer hospitality to the Fairy Folk, and show others how to do the same. “The creation of a Fairy House is a constant interaction between the vision first seen in the twigs and the practical considerations of durability and other technical problems in realizing the house,” Crawford said. “I seek to render a house that is as real as the Fairies that I meet — dusty, well-used, eroded by the winds of time.” After the house has been created, Wolfe sits with it to hear its tale. “Sometimes the house whispers, sometimes it shouts but, because the wood, stone and sand all have voices, there is always a story to be told,” she said. “When I meet a new Fairy House, I feel as though I’ve been invited to be present at a birth and given the honor of celebrating the naming ceremony.” The lunch will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and is open to all those interested in the arts. For more information or an invitation to attend, call Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228, or Carol Deslippe at 541-2652624. The Coastal Arts Guild welcomes new members.

Pick a cause, any cause
It does not take very long to figure out that the Oregon Coast runs on volunteers. And an upcoming event in Newport aims to make it easier than ever for people to find the cause that’s right for them by matching volunteers with non-profit organizations. The Lincoln County Volunteer Fair will run from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, March 19, at Newport’s Shilo Inn, 536 SW Elizabeth Street. Non-profit groups from all over Lincoln County will be available to provide information about their organizations and volunteer opportunities. Groups in attendance will span a range of work and issue areas, such as environmental conservation, homelessness, animal rights, elderly and disabilities, poverty, youth education and many more. Event organizer Peggy O’Callaghan said volunteers are the glue that holds many non-profits together, adding that donating time and effort also yields benefits for the volunteer themselves. “It can increase job skills, provide networking opportunities, create new friendships and can provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment,” she said. “Volunteering can transform your own life, as well as others, in so many positive ways.” Non-profits interested in taking part in the fair should call O’Callaghan at 541-5745459, or Dee at 541-2659617, drop by the Newport 60+ Activity Center at 20 SE 2nd Street, or go to www. newportoregon.gov/sc and click on the “Volunteer Fair” tab.
Flutes seek loot, in Toledo Oregon Coast percussionists will collaborate with a pair of Native American flute players from the Willamette Valley for a live fund-raising concert in Toledo on Friday, March 4. The flute and percussion performance will be broadcast live throughout Lincoln County from Toledo’s Floweree Community Center on 91.7 FM. Funds raised from the concert will go to support live music programming on KYAQ-FM, Lincoln County’s new, listener-supported public radio station. Newport Community Drum Circle leader Chandler Davis will be joined by local percussionist Skip Floraday, wellknown McMinnville flute player Terry Filer and multi-instrumentalist Ellen Saunders, who is the leader and a key performer with Portland’s Columbia River Flute Circle. Davis said the foursome will play a two-hour that set explores the contrast between the dynamic energy of the hand drums and the sweet harmonies of the versatile wooden flutes. “The set is quieter than the expanded version we do for large venues such as the Lincoln County Fair and our regular summer outdoor shows at Café Mundo,” Davis said. “But even in its mellower form, it’s an exciting and unique show.” The concert will run from 7 to 9 pm at the center, located at 321 SE 3rd Street in Toledo, with the public encouraged to come along and watch. The event will also be live-streamed around the world on www.kyaq.org. For more information, contact Davis at chandler@chandlerdavis.com or 541-272-4615 or the radio station at 541-264-5917.

In a class of their own
A Newport benefit concert on Sunday, Feb. 28, will see local music teachers take to the stage alongside some of their former students to raise funds for scholarships and student aid. The Spotlight on the Teachers concert is the annual fund-raiser for the Lincoln County Oregon Music Teachers Association. This year’s performers will include seven teacher members of the association, three student alumni and three guests. “We are especially proud to present our former students who are now active in the music scene on the Oregon Coast,” said OMTA member Jessica Treon. “These alumni are great examples of our work in providing future musicians for the community.” The featured alumni are Justin Herndon, Carlyn Jefferson and Milo Graamans.
Carlyn Jefferson
Herndon has studied with Rita Warton of Lincoln City since 2003. He has performed in many of the Coffee Concerts at the Lincoln City Cultural Center
Coast Community College choir on and off for seven years. She plays in the orchestra pit for Coastal Act Productions and recently joined the Lincoln Pops Big
Band. Graamans studied the piano for 15 years with Jessica Treon. He studied briefly at University of Oregon and then returned to pursue musical opportunities on the coast.

Songlines lead to Lincoln City Caballito Negro, the intercultural collaboration between flutist Tessa Brinckman and percussionist Terry Longshore, will bring its “Songlines” tour to the Oregon Coast on Saturday, Feb. 27, with a performance at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Inspired by Federico García Lorca’s 1860 poem, “Canción de Jinete,” Caballito Negro collaborates with many prominent, innovative artists — creating contemporary
music that pushes the flute and percussion repertoire to new heights. The program “Songlines” — much like the physical and spiritual journeys of Aboriginal people — describes a few of the inner and outer landscapes humans must travel, using diverse instrumentation of six flutes, all kinds of western and nonwestern percussion, and the sung and spoken word. New Zealand-born flutist Brinckman has worked in many solo, chamber
and orchestral series in the United States and abroad as well as recording, composing and performing internationally. Her critically acclaimed album, “Glass Sky,” is featured in the South African documentary “Inner Landscapes” about Outsider artist Helen Martins. She has taught at various Oregon universities and currently gives master classes and private lessons in the U.S. and abroad. Longshore is a
percussionist based in Ashland whose genrecrossing work exhibits the artistry of the concert stage, the spontaneity of jazz and the energy of a rock club. He performs nationally and internationally as a soloist and ensemble member, and can be heard on numerous CD and motion picture recordings. He is professor of music at the Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University. Saturday’s show will start

Do a little good, by talking for the animals Otters, octopuses and auklets have wonderful stories, but cannot speak for themselves. At the Oregon Coast Aquarium, these animals rely on interpretive volunteers to connect them with more than 400,000 visitors each year. And the aquarium is looking for new faces to join this dedicated team. To ensure these natural history experts know their subjects, the aquarium treats new volunteers to a six-weekend crash course on the coastal and marine fauna of Oregon, offered just twice a year. Upon graduation, volunteers spend a few hours each week speaking on behalf of the Oregon Coast’s animals and their habitats. “Volunteers connect with visitors every day about animals and conservation issues like marine debris,” said Beth Hawkyard, volunteer services manager for the aquarium. “The in-depth insights they share not only add to the aquarium experience, they can make impressions that last a lifetime,” As well as regular doses of cute animals, volunteer benefits include free aquarium membership after 50 hours of volunteering; invitations to exclusive lectures and continuing education programs at the aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center; and a behind-the-scenes look at a marine science exhibition facility that is consistently ranked among the 10 best in the USA. To complete an application, go to aquarium.org or contact the aquarium’s Volunteer Services department at volunteer@aquarium.org. Application forms are available at bit.ly/ aquavol and are due by March 21.
Oregon’s marine mammals will be the subject of the Saturday, Feb. 27, Winter Discovery Series presentation at Cape Perpetua, just south of Yachats. Joy Primrose, president of the Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society, will discuss the diverse species of whales, dolphins and porpoises found off the Oregon Coast. “It’s the perfect time to learn about our coastal marine mammals before the gray whales’ spring migration and the upcoming Whale Watch Week,” said Brian Hoeh, Visitor Center manager at Cape Perpetua. This spring’s Whale Watch Week runs from March 19 through 26. More than 1,600 gray whale sightings were reported during this winter’s Whale Watch Week as the whales traveled to their warm calving grounds off Baja California, Mexico. The presentation will start at 2 pm at the Visitor Center, 2400 S. Hwy. 101, three miles south of Yachats. Admission is free, but a Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Passport, federal recreation pass or $5 day-use fee is required for entry to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. For more information, contact the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center at 541-5473289.

It’s too bloomin’ early! February on the Oregon Coast offers the occasional day sunny enough to convince a person that spring has arrived early. So what better time for a presentation on “Early Achievers,” the advanced flowers that seem to show promise before others have woken up from their winter slumber? On Saturday, Feb. 27, Lincoln City’s Connie Hansen
Garden will give coastal gardeners the chance to get up to speed on these head-of-theclass plants in a presentation from Dave and Annilese Doolittle of Petal Heads in West Linn. The couple will be discussing plants that are looking fabulous right now, and which will continue to improve throughout the season. Their talk will include some
of the finest new breeding introductions of Bergenia, Pulmonaria, Helleborus, Evergreen Ferns and more. They always fill their truck up with plants to purchase, so no one will go home disappointed. The presentation will run from 1 to 3 pm at the gardens, 1931 NW 33rd Street. For more information, call 541-994-6338 or go to www. conniehansengarden.com.
