An in-tents way to see the coast Stay dry and warm at the ocean’s edge in an Oregon state park yurt Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY Tent camping on the Oregon Coast can be tough. During the months when the campsites aren’t booked months in advance, the odds that you will spend at least part of your trip huddling in your tent to avoid getting soaked to the skin hover at around 100 percent. Of course, you could try an RV the size of a Manhattan apartment, but good luck making a left turn. Happily, there is an option that falls somewhere in the middle; yurts. Canvas covered buildings that are something between a tent and cabin, yurts are a lower-cost way to enjoy the outdoors without having to brave the wetter parts of it. They can be found in state parks across Oregon, where they originally gained popularity as a camping alternative. Although quite luxurious compared to a tent, the accommodations are still fairly rugged; you have to provide your own bedding and there are no en-suite bathroom facilities. I was also warned when I checked in for my yurting experience that there was “no TV hookup,” in mine; a statement that made me chuckle for a fair amount of time until I realized that the person who said it wasn’t kidding; some yurts actually do come with TV access and cable hookup. But regardless of whether or not you have to provide your own entertainment, there are lights, electrical outlets, and, I can’t stress the importance of this last one enough, heat. I yurted in the middle of winter (on the night of the highly disappointing Mayan apocalypse). It was a cold night with periodic rain showers, but I was kept cozy by the yurt heater. At one point in the evening, I rushed to cover my laptop when I started to hear raindrops so loud they sounded like they were hitting the wooden table near the bed, only to realize it was the amplified sound of the rain on the canvas roof of the yurt, which turns out to be quite charming when you don’t have to spend the night anticipating the prospect of packing a wet tent in the morning. Yurts are unbeatable for those travelling with pets; the hardwood floors and plastic covered furniture mean easy cleanup and a guilt-free indoor experience. The Oregon state park system started a pet-friendly pilot project for yurts and cabins

in 2011 at four campgrounds. It was so successful that the program has spread statewide. But reserve early, of the 21 yurts at the park where I stayed, only two were pet friendly. Originally used as primary housing by nomadic tribes in Mongolia, where temperatures can range from -30 to more than 100 degrees and strong winds whip across the open steppes, yurts, or “ger” as they are known in Mongolia, still had to be light enough to fit on the back of a camel. Cave drawings and an occasional mention in historic documents places their use back at least 3,000 years, and by the time of Genghis Khan in the 12th century they were widely mentioned. In a quote that I can’t verify but still find entertaining, Khan is said to have

4 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 1, 2013

ordered that the guards outside his ger should “hack any persons entering at night until their heads are split open and their shoulders fall apart, then cast them away.” Luckily, Oregon state park yurts come with a locking door, so the need to hack up intruders is lessoned considerably. Inside, they are elegantly appointed with single/double bunk beds and a futon that turns into a double bed, so the yurt will comfortably fit up to five people. The Central Coast is well stocked with Oregon state park campgrounds featuring yurts. Cozy Nehalem Bay, located between Waldport and Yachats, has only two and is the only Central Coast location that has no pet-friendly ones. In contrast, the large South Beach campground, just south of Newport, has 27, two of which welcome pets. Other campground locations near coastal towns include Beverly Beach, south of Newport, and Devils Lake State Park, smack dab in the middle of Lincoln City. If you are looking out for something a bit more remote, try Cape Lookout, located on a sand spit between Netarts Bay and the ocean 12 miles south of Tillamook. Although it is similar to most state parks on the coast in that beach walks and trail hikes are nearby, the main trail that begins at the campground is hard to beat, winding through old growth forest and terminating at the Cape Lookout viewpoint far above the ocean. One of the few drawbacks to yurts is they’re not good as a last-minute hotel alternative. Having to provide your own bedding and dishes means you have to plan ahead, unless you always have a sleeping bag and basic camping gear packed in your car. Also, since the popularity of yurts is steadily growing reservations tend to fill up pretty quickly during the high season. But during the off-season, there are plenty of yurts available for some cozy coastal camping. Fees range from $35-$41 per night; a $10 suggested donation is appreciated to rent the pet friendly yurts. Reservations can be made through Reserve America at www.reserveamerica.com or by calling 800-452-5687. If you are making reservations for a date less than one week in advance, you need to call the campground at which you wish to stay.

Time is running out to buy tickets for the 6th Annual Hearts for Horses Benefit Dinner and Auction, which will be held at the Oregon Coast Aquarium on Saturday, Feb. 9. Tickets for the event, which benefits the Bright Horizons Therapeutic Riding Center, are on sale until Friday, Feb. 1, at the Feed Corral in Newport or online at brighthorizonsriding.org. Priced at $40 per person, $75 for a couple and $10 for children under 12, tickets can also be bought by contacting Amy Cline at 541-961-4156 or info@brighthorizonsriding.org. Guests at the event will be able to tour the aquarium exhibits, enjoy a large variety of appetizers, hors d’oeuvres and desserts from some of Newport’s finest eateries, take part in silent and oral auctions and enjoy music from the Lucky Gap Band. All proceeds raised at the benefit will be go toward rider scholarships and the care of horses at the center, which provides programs aimed at helping disabled children and adults challenge themselves physically and emotionally and to set goals to improve their quality of life. Equine assisted activities have shown remarkable success in meeting the complex needs of program participants. Benefits may include gains in balance, posture and mobility. A person’s gait is similar to that of a horse, giving many riders the opportunity to experience this type of normal movement for the first time. Among the items that will be raffled off at the event is “Donder’s Bright Horizon,â€? a painting by Toledo artist Becky Miller, valued at $3,000. Miller said she was inspired to donate the painting to Bright Horizons because the organization reminds her of her aunt, Debby Horning, who had Down Syndrome. Raffle tickets for the painting, which is on show at Pig Feathers BBQ, 300 S. Main Street, Toledo, are priced at $10 each. For more information on the painting, call Miller at 503-5047289. The benefit dinner will take place from 6:30–9 pm at the aquarium, 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information about Bright Horizons Therapeutic Riding Center go to www.brighthorizonsriding.org.

help to the group, which walks in rain or shine but is not too proud to duck inside during a downpour. Anyone interested in walking the route can meet at 9 am at the Yachats Commons to carpool to Newport, or at 9:45 am at Newport’s Hallmark Inn to register. The Newport historic trail is a 10-kilometer route, rated 2a for a few short steep hills, but generally flat, smooth surfaces. The trail is not appropriate for wheelchairs and strollers would be moderately difficult. For those who want a shorter walk there is a 5-kilometer option. As always, leashed pets of responsible owners are welcome. For more information, call Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721, Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541-961-4279 or Jean White in Florence at 541-997-8577. The club website is www. yachatscoastalgems.org.

Newport: home sweet home Desserts from around the world will be on offer at the Wednesday, Feb. 6 meet and greet organized to introduce two foreign exchange students to Newport. Panyanus Jansomwong of Thailand and Bianca Hierzer of Austria are visiting Newport as part of the American Field Service, a program started more than 60 years ago by volunteer ambulance drivers in World War I, which has evolved into an organization dedicated to bridging national boundaries through cultural exchange. The reception will take place at 7 pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Newport, 227 NE 12th Street. The event is free but donations toward the American Field Service program are appreciated. For more information, contact Newport AFS Coordinator Carol Caldwell at 541-265-4788.

The genies of Taft Elementary Turning steel and sweat into the sports stars of tomorrow Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ABOVE: Shariene Stockton and her son, Christian, take a break from the hard work with one of the unearthed treasures

From the outside, the old Taft Elementary School building in Lincoln City doesn’t look like much. Just another one of the coast’s old wooden buildings, gradually giving way to moss and rot since the school moved to higher, safer ground six years ago. But inside is a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of peculiar treasures — a collection that started to accumulate shortly after the last teacher had packed up their desk and the Lincoln County School District began using the building to store surplus equipment, furniture and supplies. Now, the Taft Tiger Boosters are attempting to pull off a feat that would make Aladdin’s genie proud — transforming ton upon ton of old stuff that no school in the county could find a use for into money that will fund a new sports program for middle school kids. In a deal that works well for both parties, the district is donating the contents of the building and the boosters are giving their time and bringing the muscle. To this end, booster volunteers have been delving into the surplus stacks, pulling out tons of metal for scrap, identifying large, valuable items for immediate sale and preparing the school to become what is probably the largest garage sale the Oregon Coast has ever seen. Shariene Stockton, who is spearheading the process, said all the money raised will go toward setting up a school-based sports program for 7th and 8th graders at Taft High 7-12, starting with football and volleyball, which she hopes will be underway next fall. Stockton said the Lincoln City Youth Football League, which cur-

12 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • february 1, 2013

rently operates outside of the school district, recently adopted the motto of football legend Vince Lombardi, — ‘winning can become a habit, success is a choice.’ “When you deal with life that is the mentality that is needed also,” she said. The boosters have certainly shown a winning spirit when tackling the mountains of accumulated junk that filled almost every inch of the building. “We had eight classrooms plus the gym, wall to wall, almost up to the ceiling,” Stockton said, adding that she was kept sane by advice her husband, Kevin, who simply said: “first things first.” That first thing was the heaviest, with volunteers lugging some 2,000 folding chairs, 500 filing cabinets and a bunch of old metal desks out into trailers for collection by Cherry City Metal of Salem. “That’s the wrestling team,” she said. “That’s their practice.” And with every chair and filing cabinet that was removed, more unusual items began to make their way to the surface. “If you clear out one corner, you find all sorts of treasures,” Stockton said. Among the prize finds were seven pottery wheels, two pool tables, three pianos and several lithograph tables. There are enough TVs in the building to keep Elvis Presley reloading for a year. Also unearthed next to the pottery supplies was a pug mill, a formidable-looking machine that mixes and dispenses clay. Another room yielded old Apple Macs while a third was home to a Polaroid 4 Shot camera of the type popular in the early ’70s. “It’s been awesome going through these boxes,” Stockton said. “Also, it’s nostalgic.”

Among the items that brought back memories was a soundproof booth used during students hearing tests. “I haven’t seen one of those since I was like five,” she said. Several local businesses have already snapped up some of the kitchen equipment that volunteers found in the building, including a 60-quart floor mixer and a four-bay gas fryer. A few individuals have also taken the opportunity to buy items from the building, which, unlit and unheated, has an unmistakable postapocalyptic feel to it. The boosters’ next task is to get the building in a fit state to be a stop on the Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale, which runs from April 19 to 21, with more than 100 sites taking part. Until then, larger items can be found on Craigslist at oregon-

coast.craigslist.org, all tagged with the term “Lincoln City/Taft.” Stockton said she will also open the building for walk-throughs by any interested parties between now and the garage sale. To schedule an appointment, email her at stockton1@embarqmail.com. While its contents are destined for new homes or the scrapyard, the fate of the old school building itself remains unclear. Early talks between the school district and Lincoln City regarding a potential sale of the site broke down due to a disagreement about price. Stockton said that, while sorting the treasures from the trash has been Peter Lutz and Chester Parker wrestle scrap into waiting trailers a lot of work, the boosters can’t thank the school district enough for donating the contents of the building. “A lot of people would look at this and say ‘this is misery,’” she said, “but this is such a huge gift that the district has given to us that it’s immeasurable.” The boosters are always in search of new volunteers, who are welcome at the group’s regular meetings at 6:30 pm on the first Wednesday of every month in the Taft High library. “You don’t have to do anything special,” Stockton said. “Just show up. Give me an hour.”

She ies with her own wings What differentiates Native American art in Oregon from Native art in other parts of the Pacific Northwest, and what might this tell us about our state’s identity? How are Oregon’s history and culture represented in Native art and how can we learn more about our community’s values and aspirations by looking at artwork? This is the focus of “Uniquely Oregon - Native American Art of Oregon,â€? a free conversation with Portland State University scholar-in-residence Tracy Prince on Saturday, Feb. 9, in Yachats. The event is scheduled to start at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. This program is hosted by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Prince has taught university classes on Native American art and literature for 19 years. She studies traditions that have survived the suppression of Native identity and customs. Her book “Portland’s Goose Hollowâ€? explores the history of Native, Chinese, Irish, German and Jewish residents of one of Portland’s oldest neighborhoods. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to people’s daily lives and the state’s future. For more information about this free community program, go to GoYachats.com/events or call 541-961-6695. The Academy is supported by the Friends of the Yachats Commons Foundation.

Psst… Satori Bob. Pass it on. It’s always exciting to be part of a plot and Eugene band Satori Bob is hoping to find willing accomplices when they visit Lincoln City on Saturday, Feb. 2 to play everything from gentle acoustic pieces to dynamic gypsy and bluegrass-inflected compositions. Band founder John Baumann, who formed Satori Bob in the wilds of northern New York state and has shepherded its evolution through the years, said he and his band mates are currently plotting to achieve cult-like status in the Pacific Northwest. One step on that road is the band’s visit to the Lincoln City Cultural Center as part of the center’s First Saturday concert series. Baumann has been performing for more than 20 years, covering songs from the likes of Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, John Prine and Jerry Garcia, as well as producing original music ranging from slow, intimate ballads to gypsy-inflected fast waltzes to upbeat country and folk melodies. For the best past of 20 years, he has been accompanied on guitar and banjo by Devin Newman, whose banjo playing is nonbluegrass and unconventional, and inspired by Tony Furtado, Tom Waits and Bela Fleck. Also on guitar is Russ Wilbanks, a singer, songwriter and

Organizers say the Feb. 2 celebration is the first of many milestones as the expansion and enhancement of the Newport Performing Arts Center unfolds. This past year the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts was awarded a Tourism Facilities Grant from the City of Newport. The group will use the $250,000 matching grant throughout the next two years as the project phases take place.  The projects slated for the future include an electronic acoustical system for the Alice Silverman Theater, an improvement that would allow staff to transform the space at the push of a button to accommodate the various sounds of performances — from classic theater to a symphony orchestra and everything in between. The biggest phase of the project will expand the Studio Theater and backstage areas, which will better allow for simultaneous programs and increase the capacity of the facility. The PAC is home to three theatre companies, three dance groups, a symphony, two choral ensembles, a film series and the Oregon Coast Jazz Party as well as hosting performances from the Metropolitan Opera and National Theater live in High Definition.

Develop a quilt complex Get some warm fuzzies with America’s beloved bedspread Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

The recent cold spell has had people all along the Oregon Coast reaching for an extra quilt to put on the bed. Nothing beats a quilt for that cozy, comfy, reminds-you-of-being-a-kid feeling of warmth and security. So soft and toasty and… Hey, you! Stop snuggling with the exhibits. That’s right — exhibits. This month, the nation’s favorite bedspread is taking center stage in an exhibition entitled Quilts of Lincoln County, which will attempt to unravel the stories of coastal life weaved into the fabrics on show. Jean Amundsen of the Oregon Coast Quilters Guild said the designs, materials and techniques used in quilt making offer a window into a side of history that was often not documented by more traditional means. “Women’s history was neglected, not considered important WHAT: Quilts of Lincoln County for many, many years,” she said. “So quilts are one thing that helps us kind of go back and find out along those lines.” WHERE: North Lincoln One such example, Amundsen said, are the quilts made County Historical Museum, and sold by the women of the United States Sanitary Com4907 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City mission during the American Civil War to raise money to WHEN: Noon-5 pm, help provide clean and healthy conditions in the Union Wednesday to Saturday, Army camps. Feb. 1-28 Meanwhile, she said, more details about how women lived COST: Free their lives can be gleaned from the materials they were able FMI: Call 541-996-6614 to lay hands on for making quilts, with common fabrics like cotton and wool sometimes joined by unusual additions such as cigar ribbons. As well as their physical surroundings, Amundsen said, quilts often serve as a window into women’s minds at various points in history. “Even though women couldn’t vote back in the day, sometimes you can see their political opinions by their quilts,” she said. One famous example of subversive quilt making is a piece created in 1978 by a Kansas based quilting group called The Seamster’s Union. The group took issue with the popularity of Sunbonnet Sue, a bonnet-wearing figure that had appeared in quilts since the early 1900s, always engaged Think quilting is all sunshine and smiles? Ask poor Sunbonnet Sue in stereotypically domestic tasks such as gardening, cook(above) who attracted the ire of ing and sewing. Striking a blow for women’s liberation, the one quilting group who went on Kansas quilt makers created “Sun Sets on Sunbonnet Sue,” a to craft a quilt that killed her off quilt comprised of 20 blocks, each of which shows poor Sue in 20 inventive ways (below). meeting a grisly end — struck by a lightning bolt, eaten by a shark, strangled by a malevolent sunflower and so on. While that might seem a strange choice of bed cover, it is worth noting that not all quilts were destined for the bedroom. Amundsen said that in addition to everyday quilts and bedspreads reserved for special guests, there is a strong tradition of purely decorative pieces, including “Crazy” quilts that would often be draped over a sofa or piano. So called because of their lack of a geometric pattern, Crazy quilts exploded in popularity after the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, which brought many people into contact with asymmetrical Japanese art for the first

time. Often made from pieces of fancy fabrics such as silk, velvet and taffeta, Crazy quilts are also marked by the intricate embroidery that binds each piece to the whole. The Quilts of Lincoln County exhibit will display pieces from the collections of both the Lincoln County Historical Society and the North Lincoln County Historical Museum as well as quilts on loan from private collections. Anne Hall, director of the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, where the exhibit will be based, said most of the pieces are from the 1930s and 1940s, with a few from the late 1800s. One of the pieces on show is a quilt with a Lincoln County theme produced to mark the US Bicentennial in 1976. The exhibit has been timed to coincide with Lincoln City’s Antique Week, an annual celebration that will see antique-lovers from far and wide descend upon the town for 10 days of activities starting on Friday, Feb. 8. On Saturday, Feb. 9, Experts from the Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild will be on hand at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum to document quilts owned by Lincoln County residents. The documentation includes making a record of the quilt’s physical condition, design and construction as well as the quilt’s owner and any known details about its maker, heritage and history. Copies of the documentation, along with a photograph of the quilt, will be kept at the Lincoln County Historical Society in Newport, with copies also sent to the owner. Among the quilt experts is Twylla Hoch, who said the group uses old fabric books — and other means — the gauge the age of the pieces. “You will find seed sacks or flour sacks or things like that that have been used,” she said. “And there was only a certain time that those seed sacks were made.” Guild members will be available to document quilts from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm for a $5 fee. To make an appointment, call Hoch at 541-563-3899. The quilt exhibit also coincides with Quilt Run 101, an annual pilgrimage that sees quilters embark on a road trip to try and visit 14 quilting shops from Astoria to Brookings between Feb. 11 and 21, with prizes on offer for those who visit the most. For more details, go to www.quiltrun101.com. Amundsen said people should expect to see groups of quilters car-pooling their way along Highway 101 during the promotion. “Most quilters have never met a quilt shop they didn’t like,” she said. The Oregon Coast Quilters Guild meets second Thursday of every month at the Atonement Lutheran Church, 2315 N Coast Highway, Newport, with meetings alternating between daytime and evening.

Donations to help our son while he is battling leukemia Our son, Matt Paulsen is 34 years old, is married to a great girl, Heather, and has three amazing kids, Naomi is 3 months old, Braylen 2, and Owen 4 years old. On January 10, Matt went to the hospital for what he thought was the u. All of us were not prepared for what the doctors were about to tell us. Matt was diagnosed with two types of leukemia (AML and ALL). Our family has been devastated and would have never thought this could happen to us. We have owned restaurants in Lincoln City and Depoe Bay for 9 years and have supported many different fundraisers, including leukemia. We are used to being on the giving end and not on the receiving, so this is hard for us to ask. What we’re asking for is: for every meal purchased at The Chowder Bowl or 60’s Cafe we’re asking $1 or more be donated for our son and we’ll give you $2 off the price of your meal. We will also have gift baskets to rafe off courtesy of local businesses with proceeds going to Matt’s donation account. To all who have donated, we give a heart felt thank you! Robert & Pattie Long, and Aaron Paulsen, Owners The Chowder Bowl & 60’s Cafe

“Do what you love, and love what you do” is the guiding motto of Jack Strong, executive chef at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, whose style focuses on using Native American ingredients wherever possible and creating menus with healthier options. Strong honed his skill at Restaurant Kai in Arizona, where he co-authored a book, helped raise the restaurant to an impressive Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond rating and was nominated for a James Beard award for Best Chef Southwest in 2008. Now he is using his skill here on the coast, where he has not only infused his style into the four restaurants on the casino property, but has lately supervised the creation of a “dream team.” “We’ve created a great team of talented chefs that independently run all the areas that I oversee,” Strong said. “John Vogel, who came over from Salishan, is our sous chef at the Rogue River Steakhouse. Charles “Chuck” Keltner is the executive sous chef and is currently my interim executive chef. He was from Ruth’s Chris Steak House and the Ringside in Portland. Andrew “Andy” Mueller is our Aces chef, who helped me roll out a new healthier menu. He has worked at Surfrider and Chez Panisse. My buffet sous chefs are Theresa Moreau, who worked at another casino and previously owned a successful restaurant in Ashland, and Euge Eugene gene “Gino” Ginoo S St Standfill. andfi dfillll..

He’s also from a nearby casino but has been here for a while. He was previously at the Kernville Steakhouse.” The newest addition to the team is William “Garnett” Black, who oversees the newly redesigned Chinook’s Seafood Grill and has worked at Shilo, Szabo’s, and Portdock One. “He’s only been here for a few months,” Strong said. “He’s won numerous local events like the Chowder Cook-off. And he won the Chocolate Classics the last few years.” With help from his team of chefs, Strong plans to continue to revamp the menus on the resort property, like the newly remodeled Chinook’s Seafood Grill. “Every seat now has an ocean view and the menu is a The dream team (from left): John Vogel, Andrew Mueller, William “Garnett” Black, complete 180 from what it was,” he said. “We’ve applied for a AAA Three- Eugene Standfill, Jack Strong, Charles “Chuck” Keltner, Theresa Moreau, Martin Johnson.

At Chinook’s Seafood Grill which he likes to use as a healthy alternative to traditional we also have Sunset Specials, every weekday from 4 to 5:30 starches like potatoes. “Quinoa is both healthy and indigpm, including herb-crusted salmon for $10.95, prime rib for enous to the Americas, harvested by the Inca Indians, and $11.95, and mushroom and papardelle pasta for $8.95, or it’s a complete compl p ete pr protein,” he said. “It’s got everything you’d add chicken for $10.95 and shrimp for $12.95.

A ash of inspiration The February show at the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s Chessman Gallery features a photographer whose work presents many treasured local spaces from a new and distinct point of view. Ralph Elliot, who has been creating photographs for 40 years, said his goal is to try and understand the storylines of the world, using the camera lens to capture the relationship between each of the elements in a scene. The show will open with an artist reception held on Friday, Feb. 8, from 5 to 7 pm. Wine and refreshments will be served. Elliot, whose university studies included philosophy, linguistics and comparative religion, said his twin goals are to deepen his understanding of the world and to create images that qualify as pieces of art by communicating something that causes a creative experience in the observer. “The significant question is not ‘what was I trying to say?’ or ‘what does it mean to me?’â€? he said. “It is instead what do you see when you view the piece and what does it mean to you.â€? The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. This show will remain on display until March 6, with the gallery open from 10 am to 4 pm, Thursday to Monday. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or head to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, or become a friend on Facebook. “Nightwalk at

First Weekend

The Coastal Arts Guild will welcome Luella Hartwell as the guest speaker at its monthly lunch meeting on Thursday Feb. 7. Hartwell enjoys painting from her own photos, working in watercolor, pastel and acrylic. Her subjects include flowers, the ocean, waterfalls and old barns on the back roads of Oregon. She teaches classes through the Yaquina Art Association and at Artists’ Studio Association in Lincoln City. The lunch will be held from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, at the turnaround in Nye Beach. For more information and an invitation to attend, call Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Terry Brady at 541-265-2621. The Coastal Arts Guild is a volunteer program to staff the Newport Visual Arts Center and serve the art community of Lincoln County. It welcomes new members. For more information, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624, or by Luella Hartwell Mary Peterson at 541-574-8221.

On February 2 and 3, art fans will have a rare opportunity to visit the studio of Caroll Loomis, who is this month’s featured artist in Toledo’s First Weekend Art event, in which artists throw open their doors to the public. Loomis, who is a member of the Osage tribe, is a native of Lincoln County, where she has shown her creative contemporary Native American artwork for more than 30 years. Her show will highlight her passion for nature’s colors and textures in pieces ranging from fine art gourds, to intricately woven and beaded baskets and encaustic paintings. Caroll’s daughter-in-law, Dwan Loomis, will be her guest artist for the weekend. Dwan’s exposure to family members involved in fashion design, graphic design, photography and mixed media has been an influence on her work. Loomis will also be offering the public a free demonstration of the proper safety and setup for an encaustic studio at 1 pm on Saturday, Feb. 2. Refreshments will be served. To get to Loomis’ Studio, head east on Hwy. 20 from Toledo and turn left on Sams Creek Rd. near mile post 15. The studio is located 1/4 mile up the road and is the first driveway on the left.

The Maker of the Fountain

I

was ordering a beer at the Salty Dawg in Waldport when a man from my neighborhood came up and said, “The guy that made the Kelp Fountain is here with me.” “What? Here? I’ve got to meet him,” I said. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to meet a living Oregonian more. Every once and a great while, a writer is fortunate to unravel a beautiful mystery by virtue of writing about it for publication. Such is the case with the magical Kelp Fountain, the subject of my column that appeared in Oregon Coast TODAY last month. In that column, I called the fountain, which was made entirely of kelp, “The most marvelous engineering project I’ve encountered in all my 15 years of relentless rambling down Oregon Coast’s publicly-owned beaches.” I walked up to a table decorated with Bloody Marys and gentlemen fishermen. Outside, all things crabbing on Alsea Bay were going down in noisy, colorful splendor. My neighbor introduced me to Geof and I learned the inspiring story of this magisterial work of public art that the tide swept away 15 minutes after I viewed it. To my total

astonishment, Geof wasn’t a former engineer and didn’t claim any special aesthetic sensibility. An hour later, I opened an email at home and read: “Hi Matt: We read your article about the kelp fountain constructed on Thanksgiving Day by my husband, son, daughter and grandchildren. The fountain was the concept of my husband, Geof, who enjoys using whatever is available on the beach to create a project that our family can do altogether. Construction required about two to three hours and everyone contributed, even our littlest guy. We want our grandchildren to enjoy their time at the beach and their Grandpa’s imagination makes it happen. The kids wrote their last name in the sand to sign their work. We loved your article and thanks for appreciating a project that made our Thanksgiving special. Kathy Clayton” When I received this email, which also included a photograph of the construction crew, Geof had not yet told his wife that he had met me in the bar. There was a synchronicity about all of this that frequently happens to me in connection to my beach adventures. I have no explanation for them whatsoever and don’t know why they keep occurring.

I do know something, though. I know that every family that find themselves celebrating Thanksgiving at the Oregon Coast should eat a hearty meal, give thanks to Oregon’s unprecedented legacy of publicly-owned beaches, and go build a kelp fountain or fort together. You can always watch highlights of the Dallas Cowboys game later — or not at all.
