from the editor
A vintage performance
A
ssistant editor Quinn is always willing to help out with a photo shoot, especially if it affords the opportunity to trot down to the beach and dig around in the sand. So, when I needed a frontpage image for Antique Week, the solution was simple — grab the boy, pack his plastic shovel and raid the bathroom
for the artfully arranged collection of Japanese glass floats that has been gathering dust for the past few years. Once the floats were nestled in their shallow pit, I stuck the plastic shovel in the sand next to them, like a bright red fishing lure. With the trap set, I adopted a technique learned from years of watching BBC wildlife documentaries and lay motionless behind my camera, waiting for my prey to wander into frame. It was not long before Quinn laid eyes on the shiny bounty. Inside my head, a virtual stopwatch started counting down. I knew I had precisely four and a half seconds before one of the floats was destined to take flight. Sure enough, four and a half seconds later, I found myself being thankful for two things: 1) the rapid fire
Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher
motor drive on the Oregon Coast TODAY camera and: 2) the sturdy glass favored by Japanese glassblowers when crafting floats for their fishing brethren. But, quick as Quinn’s pitching arm may be, his speed is nothing when compared to the legions of antique fans that will descend upon Lincoln City for 10 days of hardcore bargain hunting starting this Saturday. Get ready to duck.

One workshop — no strings attached Everyone knows that there’s a person inside every Muppet. But it is a lesser-known fact that there is a Muppet inside every person, too — and puppeteer Cyn Wilkes is on a mission to help people set it free. Wilkes, a former employee at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, will lead a Hand Meet Puppet Workshop in Newport on Saturday, Feb. 7. Participants can expect to learn the basic skills of puppeteering, including focus, lip syncing, movement and improvisation as well as single- and dual-rod puppeteering techniques. The workshop, presented by Red Octopus Theatre Company, will run from 2 to 4 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street.

A lot of crafty salespeople As Antique Week descends upon Lincoln City, bringing with it an avalanche of hand-stitched quilts, handcrafted dolls and other examples of finely honed craftwork, many people might be moved to finally put their creativity to work and pick up a craft themselves. And there is perhaps no better place to start looking than the Crafters’ Supply Sale, set to take place at the Lincoln City Community Center on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 14 and 15. Organizer Margaret Kerr said the sale will give people a chance to pick up supplies for crafts including quilting, beading, spinning, weaving and crocheting at reasonable prices. “It’s a great way to start a new crafting hobby without making a big investment,” she said, “and also a good place to meet fellow crafters and exchange ideas.” Many of those crafters will be running the booths at the sale, which, in addition to helping new crafters take up a hobby, gives
old hands the chance to unload some of their clutter and move on to new projects. “The idea of the sale is for people to rent a space to sell crafting items — tools, how-to books, materials to create items and partially completed projects,” Kerr said. “So many people have things stored away from crafting projects that they used to do and this is a way for them to sell them and recoup a little of what they had invested.” Vendor spaces cost $30 for the two days, with that money going the Lincoln City Hospice. The sale will be held from 10 am to 4 pm both days. Admission is free. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Lincoln City, Kerr will also be selling copies of “A Century on the Beach,” a publication she compiled for The News Guard documenting the area’s history from 1927 to 2000. For more information or an application for space, contact Kerr at 541-994-8465 or margaretmkerr@aol.com.

learn a little
Earn your stripes at beekeeping talk The art of What with the buzzing and the stinging, most people are happy when bees are keeping themselves busy somewhere else. But, on Thursday, Feb. 12, beekeepers Nancy McDowell and Dan Speers will lead a roundtable discussion on the important role bees play in the food chain. “About 75 percent of the nuts, fruits and vegetables grown in this country and 80 percent of the flowers are pollinated by bees,” McDowell said. “It would be a bland, hungry world without them. Keeping bees not only protects and nurtures them, but provides the nourishment and delicious honey we so very much enjoy.” The discussion, entitled “All About Bees and Beekeeping,” marks the beginning of this year’s free series of roundtables from the Lincoln County Master Gardener Association. All levels of beekeeping interest are welcome, from hobbyists with years of experience to people who are just curious to learn. The roundtable will run from 10 am to noon in the Community Room of Oregon Coast Community College, 400 SE College Way in Newport’s South Beach. Admission is free, but those interested in attending

The Feb. 6 presentation will begin at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge but a $5 donation will help cover publicity expenses.

Head to the Roosevelt room fast The Oregon Coast Learning Institute will chalk up a first at its Tuesday, Feb. 10, meeting — a First Lady that is, with a presentation from Eleanor Roosevelt interpreter Dr. Lura Pierce. “Eleanor is a model for identity formation for all ages because of her unique experiences in the White House and as representative to the United Nations,” Pierce said. As well as providing a fireside chat on Roosevelt’s remarkable life, Pierce will stay in character
as she responds candidly to questions from the audience. The presentation will start at 1 pm at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, 7760 Hwy. 101 in Gleneden Beach. The day will begin with a 10 am presentation from Judy McNeil entitled “Expanding your Universe from your Couch,” a look at how to enjoy lifelong learning without leaving home. Oregon Coast Learning Institute is an all-volunteer, notfor-profit organization in Lincoln County made up of mostly retired
folks who desire to stimulate their intellectual interests in an atmosphere of shared learning. Presentations in this winter’s schedule include early American history, Geroscience, Texas Politics, The Meccorre String Quartet, world civilization clashes and Oregon’s notorious heroes. The membership fee is $50, but visitors are always welcome to try out one session for free. To view the complete Winter Schedule of topics, go to www. ocli.us, or call a volunteer at 503392-3297 or 541-265-8023.

The Lincoln City Senior Center is inviting people to unplug their TVs and plus in their brains instead, with a series of stimulating discussions on cultures from around the world and periods throughout history. Every Thursday afternoon, the moderator will provide the group with a biographical sketch of an author and information on the culture that shaped their particular story. Then the moderator will read the story aloud while members follow along from large-print photocopies and make notes. The session will then be wide open to discussion of any aspects of the story that members wish to explore. Also, members will be encouraged to write and share their own biographical and fictional short stories as the sessions continue. No pre-reading is required and all materials are provided. This activity is free to center members. Memberships are available for $10 per year. Sessions run from 1 to 2:30 pm, with the next taking place on Thursday, Feb. 12, in the yoga room at the Senior Center, located inside the Lincoln City Community Center at 2150 NE Oar Place.

The sweet smell of success
L
ong ago, when the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival was still in its infancy and success a worrisome question mark, the event was held at the Newport Armory. As it is today, the festival was largely the work of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce and a small country of volunteers, all operating largely on hope and shoe leather. On that Thursday long ago the volunteers gathered to give the armory an artistic touch. Armed with wooden seafood boxes and damaged fishing nets begged from the commercial fishing crews and processors, they went to work decorating. “We had dried starfish, shells, etc. and thought we had done a masterful job with materials that we had begged, borrowed and stolen from a variety of sources,” recalled volunteer Dick Fowler in an e-mail. “As we finished up late Thursday night, we congratulated ourselves at making the old barn-like Armory building look pretty snazzy with only some sweat equity and almost no money.” Since the weekend was slated to be a cold one, the crews turned up the heat, hoping to ensure the amory would be comfy when the festival opened Friday at noon. As expected, Friday morning was brisk, giving the set-up crew ample opportunity for some back patting on their forethought. They arrived at 10 am for the final prep before show time. “When we unlocked the Armory doors … we were nearly bowled over by the stench of rotting fish, crab and shrimp waste which had been ‘enhanced’ by the heat in the building overnight,” Fowler said. “In fact, I believe a couple of our volunteers could be seen running back out to the parking lot and losing their breakfast because of the smell.” “We were doomed
— destined for failure before we even opened the festival!” In roughly two weeks, the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival — now the largest party on the Oregon Coast — will open its doors once again, this time for the 38th year. The ticket takers will be in place, the vendors ready to pour, the cops and security guards keeping peace and the volunteers tidying up. To the average visitor, eager for the opportunity to chase away the winter blues, it will no doubt look as effortless as a swig from the glass in their hand. But to many of the workers and volunteers behind the scenes, it is nothing less than the culmination of nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat, ‘what-if?’ weeks of preparation that might or might not go according to plan. As the executive director of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, Lorna Davis is the one whose phone is likely to ring when everything flies apart (usually in the middle of the night), though she is quick to note that it’s the ingenuity and hard work of her staff and the many volunteers that ends up saving the day. One year when the call came in the wee hours, it was to say that the tent — not yet tied down, but anchored like a balloon — was in danger of collapsing under the weight of the rain that had pooled on the panels. They rounded up a pick up and while one person drove, two others pushed up on the roof panels with push brooms. Last year, there was snow, rain and finally — four days before the
event was to open to vendors — wind. “We had just left the tent after getting the electrical equipment installed to take a lunch break,” Davis said. “Ten minutes into the lunch break, the fire marshal called to say the north tent — 25,000-square-feet — had rolled and collapsed. It was just shock and disbelief.” Despite two more storms, somehow the festival opened right on time. As it did all those years ago when the good deeds of so many came up smelling like, well, fish guts in a heat wave. As it happened, the fire station was right across the armory parking lot. Volunteers borrowed the exhaust blowers normally used to evacuate smoke following a fire, opened up the armory doors and, creating a cross flow, slowly began clearing the stench. Meanwhile, the others raided every grocery store in town for air fresheners. “For nearly two hours we worked on the problem,” Fowler said. “By noon opening time … we had achieved an ‘air’ of respectability in the building.” And just as it has for coming up on 38 years, the show went on.

Tony Perez and Penelope Cole
of a great By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
Sipping a gourmet coffee surrounded by the fine foods and tasteful décor of Café C’est La Vie, a person could be forgiven for thinking that they had stumbled upon a secluded bistro, hidden away on a cobblestone street in Provence. In fact, the Lincoln Beach crêperie sits just one block from Highway 101, the main artery for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to the Oregon Coast each year. While the café’s regulars knew to look out for the blue flag that heralded their gourmet destination, the turn on to Ocean View Street remained easy to miss for first-timers. And, with the flag finally succumbing to the Oregon Coast weather, Café C’est La Vie owners Penelope Cole and Tony Perez have installed a new sign on the highway to ensure that never again will crêpe lovers have to double back in search of their French fix. “We really appreciate the extra effort of people from Lincoln City, Newport and all the folks up and down the coast who go out of their way to come here,” Cole said. The reward for locals and visitors alike who follow that sign is a menu newly expanded to include additional breakfast and lunch dishes (see sidebar). In addition to the dozen or so varieties of sweet and savory crépes, Cole uses seasonal ingredients to whip up daily soup, salad and quiche specials, with recent offerings including a soup made with roasted red pepper and paprika. The couple use local suppliers whenever possible, with fresh-bread
The Croque Madame; a French classic with melted Gruyere over Black Forest ham topped with a poached egg
baked from Newport’s Panini Bakery along with vegetables from Trillium in Lincoln City; Neskowin’s Corvus Landing Farms; and Gathering Together Farms via Newport’s Oceana Natural Foods. Perez said adapting to use what is in season keeps the menu fresh and allows the café to offer the highestquality foods all year ’round. “Our fruit tart turns to pear at this time of the year rather than a peach,” he said. As well as different produce, winter means a different atmosphere at the café, which is located in the vacation home neighborhood of Bella Beach. While summer sees the vacation homes packed with beach-bound families, winter brings a smaller crowd with different interests. “We get people that want to come and stay when it’s not so busy,” Cole said, “so they can do all the coastal things when it’s a little calmer.”
The couple also make the most of the long winter nights by hosting a series of film screenings where they project a movie on to the café wall and add to the atmosphere by serving up a themed dinner. The final movie night of the season is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 22, with the film yet to be chosen. Check the café’s Facebook site for updates: www.facebook.com/thecafecestlavie. Once the evenings start getting lighter, the café will be preparing for the busy season as Bella Beach once again fills up with families on their annual break. And anyone feeling the urge for a crêpe on Sunday, May 10, should be sure to book in advance. “There are certain days of the year that our place seems to be a special place in people’s lives,” Cole said, “and Mother’s Day is one of those.” To help families celebrate, Cole puts on a special brunch menu,
packed with treats including parfaits and mimosas. The menu is available a week or so in advance at thecafecestlavie.com. A full house is also expected on Friday, Feb. 13, when the café hosts an opening reception for a two-month-long exhibit of work by Lincoln City artist Ben Soeby. Cole said she and Perez are very thankful to the local art community for being so supportive of the café as a gallery space, with recent shows including mosaics, watercolors and photography. Soeby, who runs the Fishbox Gallery in Lincoln City’s Taft district, is an old friend of Cole’s, with the two having grown up together at the coast. She said his vividly colored Prismacolor pencil works are perfect for the café’s exhibit space. “He does a lot of really quirky creative animals,” she said. “There’s something to do with pigs that I’m really excited about. I’m not going to say much more than that.” The reception will start at 5 pm, with guests treated to appetizers and hors d’oeuvres. The café also sells a range of items for people to enjoy at home, including coffee from Caffè Umbria, granola products from Lincoln City’s Hello Granola, a range of French and Pacific Northwest wines and, for art fans, mosaic cheese slates from Lincoln City artist Joanne Daschel. Café C’est La Vie is located at 8 Bella Beach Drive off Highway 101 in Lincoln Beach and is open from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. For details, call 619-674-8816.

People tuning in to the recent soccer world cup to see grown men flailing in apparent agony at the slightest touch could be forgiven for thinking that these delicate superstars should play the game swaddled in a thick layer of bubble wrap. And that, pretty much, is what Chinook Winds Casino Resort is offering this weekend as Bubble Soccer comes to Lincoln City. Players taking part in the games, held at the golf resort’s indoor driving range, will strap themselves into a big, inflatable bubble, leaving just their legs sticking out the bottom. Games are 10 minutes long with four players per team and very few rules other than to have fun and try to score the occasional goal. Bubbles are available to fit people of almost all sizes. Adults should be less than 6’5” tall and 250 lbs, while children must be six or older and physically able to take
the bumps. All participants must sign a waiver prior to participation. The event will run from 5 to 9 pm on Saturday, Feb. 7, and from 11 am to 3 pm on
Sunday, Feb. 8. Doors open 45 minutes prior to first game. With two fields set up, the driving range can accommodate four games an hour; and players can sign up for as many games as they like, until all the tickets are sold out. Tickets are $10 apiece and available from the Chinook Winds box office or by calling 1-888-MAIN-ACT.

You The Lincoln City birthplace of glass floats, bowls and paperweights that now grace desks and mantelpieces throughout the world will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, Feb. 7, with a party to which everyone is invited. Since opening in 2005, the Jennifer Sears Glass Studio has helped thousands of people realize the dream of creating their very own piece of glass art to take home. And for anyone who has yet to experience the thrill of shaping red-hot molten glass with nothing more than a puff of air and a twist of the wrist, Saturday’s party is the ideal time to try, with special discounts on a range of glassblowing experiences. Running from 4 to 7 pm, the party will also feature live music, appetizers and refreshments as well as a demonstration by guest artists who will create a special one-of-a-kind piece of glass art. “I am sworn to secrecy on the piece,” said studio co-founder Kelly Howard. “But I can guarantee it will be a crowd pleaser.” Crowd pleasing has been the name of the game for Howard and fellow founders Dan Millen and Jon Myers since relocating from Portland to run the studio — the first of several experiencebased attractions developed by the city. “That’s the thing I’ve loved
the most; is the excitement that people have for it,” she said. “How many people get to work in a place where you get people occasionally tearing up from joy?” Howard’s love of glass goes back to 1997 and her college days at the University of Chicago. Although she was on a scholarship to study painting, sculpture and cast metal, a summer glassblowing class at the Ox-Bow School of Art in neighboring Michigan converted her immediately. “I just fell in love with the whole material,” she said, adding that she was struck by the immediate nature of glass as well as the enormous range of color possibilities. “With metal, you can paint

Expand your sphere of influence by attending glass studio bash it but there’s not the same translucent quality,” she said. It was not long before she and Myers were driving crosscountry to take up positions at a glassblowing studio in Vancouver, Washington.
Studio co-founder Kelly Howard gets a customer started on a glass float
Soon after, the two set up their own studio in downtown Portland and caught wind of the Finders Keepers program that began in Lincoln City in 1999, with the aim of placing 2,000 floats on the beach to mark the year 2000. Initially signing up as float providers, they went on to respond to the city’s request for
proposals to run a glassblowing studio and give visitors the chance to make their own treasures as well as hunting for them on the beach. While Howard, Millen and Myers all moved to the coast to run the studio, a fourth, largely silent partner James Benson remained in Portland, where he runs a successful glass studio on Sauvie Island. Howard credits Myers with developing the hands-on glassblowing experience that was to prove such a hit at a time when very few glass studios anywhere in the nation would let the public get close to the action. “It was like word of mouth right away and then within a month or two we had tapped into some kind of river,” she said. “We could tell that people were so excited about getting the chance to do it.” It’s an excitement that the trio

get to see every day, as people from all over the world get their first experience of crafting their own glass souvenir. And it’s not all newbies. Howard said the studio has a lot of customers that come back year after year, always with fresh ideas about what they want to add to their collection. All the time, the studio has continued to evolve, with recent success coming in the form of a series of Friday night gatherings that combined appetizers and live music with some more ambitious glass demonstrations. Meanwhile, a change to city rules governing glass sales on the studio premises allowed for the development of a gallery space that Howard said improves the whole experience, with Tracy Blakeman on hand to offer visitors a warm welcome. Howard said she is grateful to the community for the chance to build a business at the coast and proud of what she and her co-founders have achieved in the past 10 years. “I took a trip down the coast a couple of summers ago stopped at all the glass shops — of course my kids groaning every time I pulled in,” she said. “It was really nice to come back and see that what we are doing is unique. We have a different thing going on.” The studio is located at 4821 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-996-2569 or go to www. jennifersearsglassart.com.

One for the opera fans The Oregon Coast’s opera season will continue on Saturday, Feb. 7, with a screening of Franz Lehár’s enchanting operetta “The Merry Widow” at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The great Renée Fleming stars as the beguiling femme fatale who captivates all of Paris in a new staging by Broadway virtuoso director and choreographer Susan Stroman. Stroman and her design team of Julian Crouch and costume designer William Ivey Long have created an art-nouveau setting for the operetta, which reaches its climax with singing and dancing grisettes at the legendary Maxim’s. Nathan Gunn co-stars as Danilo and Kelli O’Hara is Valencienne. Andrew Davis conducts. Part of the 2014-15 series from The Met: Live in HD, the performance is presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and hosted locally by Gloria Hutchins and Bernice Isham. The performance will run from 10 am to 1 pm at the center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $20 general admission, $17 for

Bearing witness in Newport Lincoln City Indoor Market Two Newport artists will present works inspired by the plight of occupied Palestine in a new exhibit that opens Friday, Feb. 6, in the Upstairs Gallery of the Newport Visual Arts Center. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, “Witness: Palestine,” features photography by Ginger Gouveia and clay sculptures by Gilbert Schramm in an installation-like setting. “This collection of photos represents my witness to the daily struggles of Palestinians living under occupation in the West Bank,” Gouveia said. “Using this gallery as the venue, it is my hope that viewers will be moved to ask more questions and to continue to develop their own awareness.” Gouveia has traveled to Israel and Palestine in recent years, staying with families in both countries. She visited organizations where Israelis and Palestinians worked toward a lasting and comprehensive peace built on respect for human rights and democratic principles. Schramm has a varied background of working and teaching in the Middle East, during which time he has come to know many Palestinian students and colleagues. He uses his poetry, clay and graphic art to express his views on the issues in an attempt to channel his grief and as a last-ditch effort to get a message across. He cites Goya’s prints and sketches, Picasso’s “Guernica,” street-protest art, Paul Klee and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska as inspirations for his sculptures and graphic work. “I hope that our joint exhibit will convey

some sense of what Palestinians go through as they live under occupation,” Schramm said. “For me, this is more about conveying a message rather than demonstrating any particular mastery of artistic style or technique. I think of it as art from the barricades — not from the academy.” The show will be available to view through Feb. 28, from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday at 777 NW Beach Drive. For more information, call 541-265-6569 or email vac@ coastarts.org.
A show to re-member Regular readers of the TODAY will know that Newport’s Yaquina Art Association likes to showcase its members’ talents through regular Spotlight Shows — highlighting one or two artists at a time. But this Friday, Feb. 6, will see the association swap the spotlights for the floodlights as it unveils a show to which all 120 members are invited. The All Member Show will feature watercolors, photography, pastels, oils, acrylics, colored pencils, clay,
jewelry, woodwork and more — all available to buy right off the wall. Guests will also have the chance to vote for their favorite artwork in the People’s Choice Award. The show opens with a public reception and refreshments from 5 to 7 pm in the Runyan Gallery of the Newport Visual Arts Center at 777 NW Beach Drive. It runs through Thursday, Feb. 26, available to view from 11 am to 5 pm daily except Mondays.

Lots of love,
inFromToledo platonic to
passionate, First Weekend has it covered
W
ith Valentine’s Day sitting square in the middle of the month, it’s no surprise that February is all about romance. But this month’s First Weekend art show in Toledo aims to highlight the fact that love comes in many more flavors than just the smooching kind. “There are numerous people throughout our lives we love for a variety of reasons,” said featured artist Karen Fitzgibbon, “They are not always the ‘love of our lives,’ but have received our love through teaching, respect, friendship, inspiration, etc.” To reflect this, Fitzgibbon chose the theme “You Are My…” for this weekend’s show, leaving the ending of the statement open for each viewer’s interpretation. Fitzgibbon, of Fikaa Designs, is a self-taught artist who was raised in an artistic family. She learned at an early age to create in fiber arts, moved into fabric, sculpture, clay and woodworking; and recently began basket coiling and weaving. Mainly working with polymer clay, she creates multi-media, soft sculpture figures ranging from six inches to more than three feet tall. These figures

He has exhibited in more than 130 juried national shows in the past 20 years, winning more than 30 awards. Now based near Fort Bragg, California, Hewitt is the artist in residence at the Justice of the Peace artists studio this month.

Squeeze this into your schedule Everyone has felt the urge to cuddle up with a good book from time to time, but cuddling up with a good writer is another thing entirely. Samantha Hess, also known as “Portland’s Professional Cuddler,” will visit Lincoln City on Sunday, Feb. 8, to give a talk at the Driftwood Public Library on the positive power of physical contact. Last April, Hess published her first book, “Touch: The Power of Human Connection,” a look at the at science behind cuddling and how it improves health, strengthens relationships and builds confidence. “While technology allows us to communicate across vast distances, often something is lost in translation,” she said. “Busy lives result in neglected relationships and patterns of behavior that discourage intimacy.” Hess drew national attention prior to releasing her book when she started her business, Cuddle Up To Me, in 2013. The idea for the business was simple: provide nonsexual touch to those who otherwise might go
without. For $60, she would travel to locations of her clients’ choice and cuddle up next to them for an hour. Hess said the idea occurred to her when she saw a man holding a sign offering hugs for two dollars. “He had more than a dozen people lined up around him wanting to be held,” she said. “I knew there was a demand for cuddling, but I was unsure if I could turn that idea into an actual business”. Two months of research and one liability waiver later, Hess was in business and soon began attracting attention from media outlets across the nation and abroad. Appearances on CNN, CBS, NBC and Fox as well as media sites in more than a dozen countries helped her spread her message to some 14 million people. She opened a brick-and-mortar store in Portland last November. Hess will begin her talk at 3 pm at the library, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101.

Anyone driving past Yaquina Head after dark in the past three months will have noticed that something has been missing — the reassuring sweep of illumination from the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. The beacon was shut off late last year to allow the Bureau of Land Management to carry out painting and restoration work on the 1872 tower, which, at 93 feet in height, is the tallest on the Oregon Coast. That work came to an end on Jan. 26, and anyone driving past that day might have noticed that the beacon was a little brighter when it came back on, thanks to a lastminute polish from the US Coast Guard.
