LINCOLN CITY

When the weather is right, a stroll on Lincoln City’s seven miles of sandy beaches is already one of the most romantic ways to spend an afternoon. But, with antique Week upon us, the addition of 300 original Japanese glass oats can turn even an overcast day into a treasure hunt to remember. Looking for a brighter target? Wait until Valentine’s Day itself, when 50 bright red glass oats will be up for grabs. See page 10.

The story behind the

SWOOSH

There are not many companies that have room on the staff for a chief storyteller position. Most firms have to make do with a bit of office gossip around the water cooler. Then again, not many companies have a story quite as compelling as that of Nike, the multi-national sportswear giant that was born with a handshake between a coach and one of his athletes. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, Nike’s official Chief Storyteller Nelson Farris will appear at the Oregon Coast Learning Institute to tell the story of that athlete, Phil Knight, now Nike CEO; and his coach and company co-founder Bill Bowerman. Farris, a Nike executive for 30 years, will also tell the story of another of Bowerman’s athletes, runner Steve Prefontaine, who along with many others, field tested the prototype athletic shoe designs.

The impact of Arctic oil and gas exploration on sea mammals will be the subject of the Saturday, Feb. 8, speaker series from the Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society in Newport. Bridget Watts, a field biologist, will give a talk on environmental studies carried out in the Chukchi Sea near Alaska, a multidisciplinary project with which she has been involved for the past six years. Founded in 1967, the American Cetacean Society is dedicated to protecting whales, dolphins, porpoises and their habitats. For more information, go to www.acsonline.org. The Feb. 8 presentation, which is free and open to all, starts at 1 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, contact Joy Primrose at marine_ lover4ever@yahoo.com or 541-517-8754.

Care to hazard a guess? Farris’ talk will run from 10 am to noon, followed at 1 pm by a presentation the history of the Japanese Tea Ceremony from Kathleen Scott, who has lived in Japan for 20 years. The Oregon Coast Learning Institute is a volunteer organization in Lincoln County made up of retired and semi-retired people who want to continue to stimulate their intellectual interests in an

Tracing Drake’s footsteps

When he stepped off the Golden Hind and on to North American soil, English explorer Sir Francis Drake began a new chapter in the expansion of the British Empire. A plaque at Drakes Bay, just north of San Francisco, commemorates the landing. But, on Sunday, Feb. 9, Newport historian Bob Ward will give the first of three presentations laying out his theory that Drake actually landed at Whale Cove, just south of Depoe Bay. Drake spent the summer of 1579 at an anchorage somewhere on the American West Coast, during the

course of his famous voyage around the world. While there, he claimed the land for England, naming it ‘New Albion’ and placed the local people under the protection of Queen Elizabeth I. “This was the very first instance of an English colony or protectorate being established on foreign shores,” Ward said, “so wherever it took place is the birthplace and first outpost of what was to become the British Empire.” A great veil of secrecy was erected around the voyage when Drake got back to England, and when an official account of the voyage was eventually

Membership dues are $50 per person for the 12week semester. Visitors are always welcome any Tuesday to try one session for free.

released, almost 10 years later, it placed Drake’s anchorage at 38 degrees latitude, in the region of San Francisco. In his presentations, Ward, who has been examining Drake’s voyage for more than 30 years, will present his case that the official account was deliberately falsified in several places to keep Drake’s search for the Pacific entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage secret from England’s archrivals, Spain. Ward, founder of the Drake in Oregon Society, says Drake actually spent that summer at Whale Cove, just south of Depoe Bay. Ward will also talk about his plans to excavate what he thinks might be a small Spanish ship that Drake captured off Costa Rica and left behind when he

Rising sea levels will be discussed against a backdrop of falling pint levels when Dr. Peter Ruggiero visits Pacific City’s Pelican Pub and Brewery for the first in a new series of science pubs on Monday, Feb. 10. An Oregon State University coastal hazards specialist, Ruggiero will ask what the Tillamook County coastline will look like in 30 years and how rising sea levels, increased storms and accelerating development will affect locals and visitors. These are questions that Ruggiero and fellow researchers at OSU hope to answer through the Tillamook County Coastal Futures Project, which sees researchers working with residents to design climate-resilient strategies for the area. Ruggiero’s talk will begin at 6:20 pm at the brewery, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Drive, preceded by a Tillamook coast trivia contest at 6 pm. The science pubs series is sponsored by the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, which will begin the evening with a preview of its upcoming activities. No scientific background is expected, just curiosity, and an appetite for food, drink and knowledge. For more information, go to http://nestucca.org.

returned to England. He said the 25 members of Drake’s crew that stayed behind with the smaller ship were supposed to resume

searching for the Northwest Passage after wintering on the Oregon Coast, but never managed to leave Oregon. Ward said the ship came to be buried beneath a tidal mud flat at Three Rocks, near the mouth of the Salmon River, where he hopes to begin excavating this summer. Ward’s Feb. 9 presentation will take place at 2 pm at the Depoe Bay Community Center, 220 S.E. Bay Street. He will repeat the presentation at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, Lincoln City, on Saturday, Feb. 22, at 1 pm; and finally at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center on the Newport bay front on Sunday, March 9, at 5 pm.

Dive between the covers on a blind date A talk to get revved up over

Driftwood Public Library will wrap up its annual Oregon Legacy Series on Sunday, Feb. 9, with a visit from Pauls Toutonghi, author of “Evel Knieval Days.â€? Described as a novel about immigration and belonging, false starts, new beginnings... and baklava, “Evel Knieval Daysâ€? sees the action shift between Butte, Montana and the chaotic streets of Cairo. Toutonghi was born in 1976 to an Egyptian father and a Latvian mother. His writing has appeared in publications including Granta; The New York Times; Zoetrope: AllStory; and Sports Illustrated. Toutonghi received a Pushcart Prize for his short story, “Regeneration,â€? which appeared in The Boston Review in 2000, when he was 23. His ďŹ rst novel, “Red Weather,â€? published in 2006, was translated into Latvian

and German — and received good reviews in periodicals across the country. After receiving his PhD in English Literature from Cornell University, Toutonghi moved from Brooklyn to Portland, where he now teaches at Lewis & Clark College. All Oregon Legacy presentations are free thanks to support from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library and the D’Sands Condominium Motel, which provides free lodging for each of the writers. Each presentation begins at 3 pm in the library, located on the second oor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@ lincolncity.org.

Blind dates are something a lot of people dread, but they can also be strangely exhilarating. For those with an adventurous spirit, the anxiety of entering into an unknown situation can be balanced by the excitement of discovery. Sure, you might spend an evening in mild discomfort, but then again‌ you might meet the love of your life. The same is true of blind dates with books, except without any of those awkward silences and worrying about what to wear. Heather Jones at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library has adopted the role of matchmaker for a blind date program that aims to set readers up with books they might never have considered reading “For the reader who may feel they’ve fallen into a reading rut (it happens to all of us), it oers a chance to get out of that rut and break into a new genre,â€? she said. Throughout February, adventurous visitors to the library can check out any one of a display of books wrapped in Valentine paper in the library’s inner foyer, on the understanding that, no matter what the book is, they will give it their best shot at reading it through. “The best parts of going on a blind date with a library book are that it’s cheap,â€? Jones said. “but also, if either of you gets bored, you can cut the date short without any fear of hurt feelings. Keep trying until you ďŹ nd the perfect match!â€? Driftwood Public Library is located on the second oor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, contact Jones at hjones@driftwoodlib. org or 541-996-2277.

When you see the words “made from scratch” at a restaurant, it usually means you can look forward to a higher quality of food. For those that prepare the food, however, it also means a lot of work, and that is certainly true for Ethan Granberg and Danelle Lochrie, owners of the Rockfish Bakery in Lincoln City. For this newly married couple, however, it also means freedom. By keeping the menu small, they are able to make careful choices about the ingredients they use, and experiment with new ways to serve them. And although their lives now include countless mornings rising well before the sun, it also means their efforts come with a great amount of pride and personal satisfaction. “Sometimes it gets hard doing things the way we do them,” Ethan said. “But at the end of the day I think we’re more fulfilled, so it’s worth it.”

Danelle Lochrie

Cooking from scratch at the Rockfish doesn’t apply to just a few menu items; it is the guiding principle for every single thing they serve, down to the condiments. Take pickles, for example. When Ethan and Danelle first bought the business, sandwiches were served with a side of chips and a pickle. The couple cashed in the chips, shelved the pickles and house-made popcorn popped up on the plates instead. “We eventually added pickles back on the menu when we began pickling ourselves,” Danelle said. “But that changes too, now. Last week we had pickled cauliflower. We’ve also had asparagus and even onions.” Part of the appeal of pickling stems from the couple’s dedication to using what can be found locally and in season. Preserving allows them to take advantage of occasional bumper crops. “The growing seasons really do drive what we serve,” Ethan said. “A friend once brought us 75 pounds of acorn squash, and I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll use it eventually.’” The couple have enjoyed building friendships with local farmers, like Caroline Lyddy from Corvus Landing Farm, who used to be a baker at the Rockfish and attended their wedding. “I love her produce so much,” Ethan said. “Her attention to detail and uncompromising quality is out of this world. She does a lot of research on what grows best in this climate.” The Rockfish is not the kind of place where you go to simply get a deli sandwich made to order. The menu, which includes some sandwiches, pizza with toppings that change daily, salads, a soup de jour and daily specials, is driven by the quality of available ingredients. “Our target audience is people who care about where their food comes from but don’t have the means to grow or raise it themselves,” Ethan said. “We try to use local companies, but that’s not always possible. But when we feature something, it’s always using products from local companies.”

The desire to increase the use of meats from local farms that raise animals humanely, like Walker Farms in Siletz, has led to the creation of one of the newer sandwiches on the menu. The “Rillette” sandwich is made with either pork or turkey prepared with an age-old French preservation technique that results in something similar to paté, and is served on the house-made bread with mustard greens and pickled onions. “For me there’s no point in putting a spotlight on a meal item if it doesn’t also support a company that we like,” Ethan said. “Sometimes we have to use other companies that are not as close but might be a little cheaper. I want people to be able to afford really fresh food, so we do what we can when we can. I may get less of a variety of ingredients, but I can do all kinds of things with the ones I have.” The Rockfish Bakery is open from 8 am to 5:30 pm Wednesday to Saturday and 8 am to 3 pm on Sunday, and is located at 3026 NE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, call 541996-1006.

The theme of this year’s event, which runs from Feb. 7 to 17, is “Vintage Views of Love,â€? and dancing the night away, viewing antique valentines, or searching for oats are just a few of the activities during the busy event schedule that are likely to catch the attention of the trouble-making cherub. The antique valentines, on display at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, are from the period before they came in boxed sets for kids to give to every other kid in class. “There was a time when you gave only one valentine,â€? said Director Anne Hall. “And it was to‌ your valentine.â€? The collection covers the period from the late 1800s to the 1960s and includes examples from after the Civil wWr, when people found connections especially important and mail was often the only form of communication. “The ďŹ rst valentines were postcards,â€? Hall said. “Later toward the Victorian era they became more ornate.â€? Surrounding the card display are

quilts from a collection compiled by American television producer Freyda Rothstein. “They do ďŹ t into our Antique Week theme,â€? Hall said. “Because of the time and materials that went into them, they are truly handmade works of love.â€? The top picks of the collection reside in the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City. “The ones in our collection are beautiful,â€? Hall said. “I can only imagine what the rest look like.â€? Although the word “weekâ€? is a bit of a misnomer to describe an event that spans 10 days, the word “Antiqueâ€? is spot on, as vendors throughout the city put on special sales and provide stops in a citywide scavenger hunt — a list of participating locations can be found on the event page at oregoncoast. org/antique-week. The ďŹ rst person to correctly complete the entry form each day will receive a prize, and other correctly answered forms will be placed in a drawing for additional prizes.

This year there is even a new place to shop, where you can show your love for a great ďŹ nd and for the Lincoln City Cultural Center at the same time. At the “Members’ Antique Boutique,â€? cultural center members will be oering treasures for sale and giving part of the proceeds to support the center, which will be open from 10 am to 4 pm throughout the event. The cultural center will also be the place to be on the evening of the big day, Friday, Feb. 14, at the Sweetheart Dance, where cupid will surely be found swinging his fat little behind to the bold sounds of the Lincoln Pops Orchestra. One of the enduring events of Antique Week is antiques and collectables appraisal, where owners can have their

treasures appraised by a panel of local experts for free, or use a professional for a fee. This year’s professional is Frank Farmer Loomis IV, a former Antiques Roadshow appraiser who is coming all the way from Cincinnati. Loomis’ love aair with antiques appraisal has been

on the cover going on for 37 years. “I love it more it more than ever,â€? he said. “One of the things I ďŹ nd wonderful about antiques is that they have gone through time, and maybe even survived some hardships, and so many still managed to remain beautiful.â€? Experiences that have kept his love alive include the time he was summoned by a business in Cincinnati to give the value of some things they had stored. “We were up in the attic of this old building,â€? he said. “And there was a painting leaning against a wall with a tear in it, not looking like anything special.â€? The painting turned out to be the work of mid1800s artist Godfrey Frankenstein, who made his quite fantastic name with a series of Niagara Falls paintings. “The painting was quite lovely,â€? Loomis said. “They had it properly restored, and it’s now hanging in the lobby of the building; they’re quite proud of it.â€? Loomis can help you ďŹ nd out if you’re in possession of a hidden treasure at Chinook Winds Casino Resort’s Appraise-A-Thon on Saturday, Feb. 15 from 10 am to noon. Appraisals are $10 per item or $25 for three items and there is no fee if you just like to watch. Loomis will also be giving a free talk later in the day at the cultural center called “Antiques 101: a Crash Course in Antiquing.â€? Other things to do during the “weekâ€? include a free “mostly accurateâ€? two-part historic bus tour of Lincoln City by Elizabeth Black, and two free screenings of “Somewhere in Timeâ€? with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour at the historic Bijou Theatre. In addition to the 50 red glass oats that will be placed on the beach on Valentine’s Day, 300 antique Japanese oats will be hidden on the beach in the mornings during the event.

Czech it out As a tale about a mythical, water dwelling soul who trades her enchanted form for a chance at love with a human, “Rusalka” seems at first glance to have a lot in common with “The Little Mermaid” But this turn-of-the-century opera by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák is far from Disney territory. Based on Slavic fairly tales about wood sprites and water goblins, the three-act opera, which will screen in Newport on Saturday, Feb. 8, tells the story of Rusalka, a young nymph who falls for a human prince. Making a deal with a witch to trade her magical form for a mute human body, Rusalka steps out of the forest and into a world of betrayal, treachery and death. The performance by the Metropolitan Opera Company will be screened at the Newport Performing Arts Center as part of “The Met: Live in HD” series, which sees performances beamed from New York City to venues across the country and the world. Renée Fleming returns to one of her signature roles as Rusalka, singing the enchanting “Song to the Moon.” Tenor Piotr Beczala co-stars as the Prince, Dolora Piotr Beczala as the Prince in “Rusalka” Zajick is the witch Ježibaba, and dynamic young maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium. The performance, hosted locally by John and Melody Lavrakas, will run from 10 am to 2 pm at the center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $20.50 for general admission; $17.50 for seniors; and $10.50 for students are available at the box office or by calling 541-265-2787. The Live in HD series is made possible by a grant from the Neubauer Family Foundation. Local sponsors include the Jeannette B. Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation, the City of Newport and season benefactors Anonymous and Bill and JoAnn Barton.

I love you because …

You’re taking me out for Valentine’s Day! by Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

P

orthole Players’ new musical production, “I Love You Because,” will launch by offering sweethearts the perfect opportunity for a night out on Valentine’s Day. The romantic comedy will kick off with a special show on the evening of Friday, Feb. 14, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, accompanied by a gourmet meal catered by La Maison restaurant. The lobby of the PAC will be transformed into a romantic café prior to the show, decorated by local artist Stephan. The tuxedoed cast and crew will serve an elegant three-course meal as guests enjoy live music provided by some of the show’s musicians. Beer and wine will be available for

Liz Tosch and Bill Davy in “The Pajama Game”

purchase. “I Love You Because,” which debuted off-Broadway in New York in 2006, is a modern-day musical comedy based on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” The tales of two couples are intertwined in an opposites-attract kind of plot, complete with blind dates and bad advice from well-meaning (?) friends. The cast of six includes many veterans of local theater: Megan Walters, Jim Erickson, Justin Atkins, Pete Theodore, Melissa McDonald and Noel Sutton. Director Erik Furuheim was particularly attracted to the show because of its peppy and creative songs. “When I first heard the soundtrack, I fell in love with almost every song in the show,” he said. “It’s great music, and challenging.” The soundtrack is provided by a five-piece band under the direction of Howard Lackey. The Valentine’s Day show is Furuheim’s brainchild. “It’s a great date-type of show,” he said. “It’s clearly

going to be a romantic evening from start to finish.” Tickets for the special event, $45 each, are available only at the PAC box office, 541-265-2787. They are selling quickly, but a second option is available as well: for $25 you can attend the

show and partake of just the dessert course of the gourmet meal, to be served at intermission. Beer and wine will also be available at intermission for purchase. The regular run of “I Love You Because” is February 28 to March 16.

You snooze, you lose The weekend is a prime time for jammies — reading the paper, drinking coffee, even going to the beach can all be accomplished without having to step out your favorite flannels. But this weekend also represents the last chance to catch “The Pajama Game” at the Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook. “The Pajama Game” takes readers inside the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where sparks are flying over the workers’ demand for a seven-and-a-half-cent pay raise. Based on the novel “7½ Cents” by Richard Bissell, the play is a fast-paced Broadway musical, packed with bright and brassy songs, dance routines and a

love story that is positively… dreamy. The show’s success on Broadway led to a big screen version in 1957, directed by George Abbott and starring Doris Day as union grievance officer “Babe” Williams and John Raitt in the role of factory boss, Sid Sorokin. The score, by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, features hits including “Hey There,” “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway.” This weekend, audiences will get their final chance to see the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts belt out those splashy numbers in a show where a conflict between management and labor turns into a full-blown battle of

the sexes. “I think it’s a fun, fun show,” Director Kelli McMellon said. “They’re going to leave laughing; they’re going to leave singing the music; and this is a perfect way to pick themselves up after the Christmas break and be able to face the New Year.” “The Pajama Game” takes to the stage at 7 pm on Feb. 7 and 8; and at 2 pm for a Sunday, Feb. 9, matinée; all in the Barn Community Playhouse at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. Tickets, $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and students; or $40 for a family of four, are available by calling 503-842-7940.

International cabaret star Lady Rizo likes to tell people that, while it is rumored that she is the product of a night of unrestrained indulgence involving Peggy Lee, Mel Brooks, Nina Simone, Dean Martin and Janis Joplin, she was actually raised by theatrical gypsies with the highest show business ethics. And, on Sunday, Feb. 9, Rizo will return to the gypsy fold with a one-night-only appearance in her hometown of Newport to celebrate the release of her highly anticipated debut album, “Violet.â€? Rizo (aka Amelia Zirin-Brown) co-created the cult spectacular Lady Rizo & the Assettes in 2005. Since then she has enchanted audiences across the U.S. and abroad with her dynamic voice and comedic, charismatic “caburlesqueâ€? performances, creating vintage arrangements and theatrical explorations of pop songs from every decade. She has been described as a “cabaret superstarâ€? by New York Magazine and lauded for her “lusciously retro vocalsâ€? by Time Out New York. Rizo won her ďŹ rst Grammy in January 2010 for a duet with world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and has also performed with multiplatinum recording artist Moby. She is the Mistress of Ceremonies for The

Darby, a decadent modern supper club in New York’s West Village, where she performs nightly pop arrangements to entertain music luminaries like Prince, Ashford and Simpson, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Rizo’s performance at the Newport Performing Arts Center comes hot on the exquisitely pointy heels of sell-out runs and rave reviews at London’s SoHo Theatre, Edinburgh’s Fringe Festival and Australia’s Sydney Festival. Marc Maislen, one of the performing arts center’s founding members, said the show is the latest oering in the “Entertain the Future!â€? series organized by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts to highlight local alumni who have made their mark worldwide. “The vibrancy of our dance groups, theatre companies and musicians are a testament to our commitment to the arts,â€? he said. “As our children become involved they have a wealth of opportunities and growth experiences. Amelia is a shining example of how the support of a small community can grow an international performing artist.â€? The Feb. 9 performance will take place from 7 to 9 pm at the center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $20 in advance and $25 on the door, are available by calling 541-265-2787.

Time to make a trash decision

With SOLVE’s biannual beach clean approaching, the group is hoping that thousands of Oregonians will join in for what is the 30th anniversary of the effort to remove litter and marine debris from the state’s shores. The spring beach cleanup will run from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday, March 22, at sites along the Oregon Coast, continuing a tradition that began in 1986. Last spring, more than 4,100 volunteers removed an estimated 54,937 pounds of trash from the coast, including 7,500 pounds of materials that went on to be recycled.

“Even the smallest bits of trash on our beaches and waterways can be harmful,” said Joy Irby, SOLVE program coordinator. “Discarded items, like cigarette butts and tiny bits of plastic flow into our rivers and streams to the Pacific Ocean where they can be toxic to marine life. By helping to remove litter, volunteers are taking an active role in minimizing this threat and giving back to Oregon’s beaches.” Go to www.solveoregon.org to sign up online and view a map of check-in sites, or call SOLVE at 503-844-9571, extension 317.

If songs like “I Want a Marriage Like They Had In the Bibleâ€? and anti-fracking ditty “The Faucet’s on Fire!â€? tickle your funny bone, you might well be one of the Blue Dots that satirical songwriter Roy Zimmerman is trying to connect. Zimmerman’s “Blue Dot Tourâ€? aims to play for some of the most progressive people in some of the least progressive places in America, and it’s coming to Lincoln City on Sunday, Feb. 9. “I get accused of preaching to the converted,â€? he said, “but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as entertaining the troops.â€? The 90-minute show includes songs about fracking, creationism, marijuana laws, government shutdown, same-sex marriage, guns, taxes and abstinence. Having created 13 albums in the past 20 years, Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for peace and social justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime and he has been proďŹ led on NPR’s “All Things Considered.â€? His latest release is the documentary DVD “Vote Republican: A 50-state Musical Odysseyâ€? following Zimmerman and his wife

and frequent co-writer, Melanie Harby, on their 2012 tour. In every state they visited, they wrote a new verse for their tongue-in-cheek song “Vote Republican.� Zimmerman spent the “Comedy Boom� years of the 1980s doing stand-up in San Francisco, sharing stages with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate Clinton, Dennis Miller and many others. He wrote all the material for his funny folk music quartet The Foremen, recording two albums for Warner/Reprise Records. The Feb. 9 show will begin at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Highway 101. Tickets, $16 advance or $18 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994.

for BBC Radio and Thompson Publications. In 1980 he moved to Hollywood where he covered the Academy Awards and interviewed celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock. Stone now hosts All Classical FM programs on weekend afternoons and evenings. Cary Lewis has been in demand as a collaborative pianist for soloists and chamber music groups since the beginning of his career. Together with cellist Dorothy Lewis and violinist William Preucil, he received acclaim throughout the U.S. and Europe as a member of the Lanier Trio.

Dram, that guy can sing. When one of the world’s most respected newspapers compares your voice to a fine single-malt whisky, you know you’re doing something right. You can also thank your lucky stars you’re from Scotland and not Peru. Otherwise they’d have to compare you to a Pisco Sour, which just doesn’t have the same ring. Manzanita will welcome that distinct Scottish voice on Sunday, Feb. 9, when Jim Malcolm steps on stage at the Pine Grove Community House for an evening of guitar, harmonica and witty banter. Malcolm, whose voice the Boston Globe hailed as having the “complex individuality of an aged single-malt whisky,” describes himself as a troubadour, traveling the world with his guitar. He was lead singer of the Scottish Celtic folk/rock band Old Blind Dogs for seven years, touring extensively and playing at many of the biggest folk festivals throughout Europe and North America. In 2004, he was songwriter of the year in the Scots Trad Music Awards, and he has been nominated three times for Scots Singer of the Year. In addition to a huge repertoire of songs from the Scottish tradition, Malcolm performs his own original works and is also a noted interpreter of famed Scottish poet Robert Burns. On stage, Malcolm plays guitar and harmonica simultaneously, interspersing his songs with witty banter that he has developed to an art form of its own. Doors for the Feb. 9 concert will open at 5:30 pm, with the music starting at 6 pm. The Pine Grove Community House is located at 225 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita. Advance tickets are $20 for general admission or $15 for students and veterans and are available through Brown Paper Tickets by calling 800-838-3006 or going to www.brownpapertickets.com/event/516745. Tickets are also available on the door for $20 — cash or check only. For more information, go to www.jimmalcolm.com.

NESKOWIN Neskowin Chamber Music’s 20th anniversary season will continue on Sunday, Feb. 9, as violinist Mark Kaplan and his pianist-collaborator Yael Weiss take to the stage. The two first performed together in the summer of 1999, when they presented Bartok’s first sonata for violin and piano at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. The collaboration worked so well that they played other engagements in London, New York and Canada. Off stage, things were also going well for the duo. They married in 2002. Kaplan has performed with nearly every major American and European orchestra, including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras; the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras and the Chicago and National Symphony Orchestras as well as the Berlin Philharmonic and three orchestras in London. From 1997 to 2005, he was professor of violin at UCLA and, in the fall of 2005, he joined the faculty of the Jacobs School Mark Kaplan and Yael Weiss of Music at Indiana University. Weiss has an equally extensive performance background in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea and South America at such venues as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall and London’s Wigmore Hall. She is a frequent soloist with major orchestras in Seattle, Prague and Jerusalem. She has been a regular guest on NPR, the BBC and New York City radio stations; and has presented numerous master classes at universities in the U.S. and Europe. She is currently on the music faculty at Indiana University. Her devotion to chamber music led to the formation of the Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio with Kaplan and cellist Clancy Newman in 2001. As a duo, she and Kaplan have performed at various music festivals in Europe and the U.S. Their performances embrace what they call “the music of the future while offering fresh insights into three centuries of masterworks.” The New York Times called their performance with Newman “three strong voices, locked in sequence.” The Feb. 9 concert will start at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, three miles north of Neskowin, just west of Highway 101. Tickets are $25 and are available at the door; call ahead to get on a list. For more information, go to www. neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-965-6499.

Bone up on fine food

at the Beach Bite Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

W

hen it comes to fund-raising for needy animals, never let it be said that Kip Ward is all bark and no bite. Three years after the first Beach Bark dog-walking event to raise money for animal medical care, this weekend will see things take an altogether more tasty turn with the first Beach Bite — an evening of fine food in aid of the same cause. The fund-raiser, to be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, will see local restaurants converge on the The Eventuary events center in Lincoln City with their signature dishes. For a flat $35 fee, guests will get to eat their fill of main courses and desserts from more than 20 restaurants, including The Bay House, Salishan, The Blackfish, Salishan, Mist, Flavor of India, Oregon Coast Catering, The Anchor Inn and the Side Door Café. Ward said the event seemed like a natural partner to the Beach Bark, a summertime stroll that sees dog owners come together to walk on the beach

before gathering for a barbecue lunch. “It just seemed natural that a Beach Bark should have a Beach Bite,” he said. “In the wintertime it’s tough on everyone around here. It’s nice to get the restaurants some good exposure and also to expose people that maybe would not normally go out to Salishan or The Bay House to some of the foods they offer.” Left Coast Cellars will be selling wine while the Rusty Truck Brewery will be on hand to offer beer tastings. Entertainment will come in the form of acoustic musicians Greg Ernst, Leon Forest and Tom O, as well as a raffle and a silent auction. But if you want to take a particular dish home, be prepared to speak up. Anything left over at the end of the night will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. All funds raised will go to the Beach Bark fund, which pays to provide immediate care to animals whose owners can’t foot the bill — no questions asked. Ward said the list of animals helped by the fund so far stretches into the hundreds, including a kitten that was

hit by a car and almost cut in half. After receiving lifesaving surgery thanks to the Beach Bark fund, the kitten was adopted by a loving family who went on to pay the fund back over time. Also up for grabs at the end-ofnight auction is the chance to star on next year’s Beach Bite poster — a slot filled this year by Phoxy Roxy, the corgi companion to Dr. Kriss Hoffman of Lincoln City Animal Clinic. “She paid $400 for that and we would love to encourage that kind of behavior,” said Dave Price, a Bite booster who obligingly took the shot himself, with the help of a bottle of red wine, a leash wielding accomplice and a trash can serving as a traffic control device. Price said he would be willing to give a donor complete artistic control over next year’s poster if the money is right. “Frankly, he said, “You pay enough and you can direct how the photo is framed next year.” The Beach Bite will run from 4 to 7 pm at The Eventuary, 560 SW Fleet Avenue, Lincoln City. Tickets are available at the Anchor Inn and the Nelscott Wine Shop.

The perfect setting for a sale The annual Be Jeweled upcycled jewelry sale extravaganza is set to bring a little sparkle to Newport for the seventh year running on Saturday, Feb. 8. The event features a range of jewelry, from fine and vintage to everyday pieces, all offered for sale to raise funds for Food Share of Lincoln County. This year marks the first year of Be Jeweled’s Best, a special selection of pieces that reflect unique, artistic expression and the highest craftsmanship. Among this first year’s selection are several wonderful pieces of Bakelite, including two button bracelets, as well as pins

and necklaces. “It was a challenge to designate what should be a part of Be Jeweled’s Best,” event chairperson Emilia Lacy said, “as the quality and variety of jewelry this year are so high.” A selection of beaded items includes several Native American beaded spirit bags, while the vintage section features lots of pieces perfect for that special occasion. Cynthia Jacobi, artisan chair, is enthusiastic about the expanded collection of artisan jewelry, generously donated by mostly local artists. “No matter what kind of jewelry you like,” she said “if you want it for yourself or for

someone else, if you are a collector or just want to buy some beads, Be Jeweled has something for you.” The event will run from 9 am to 3 pm, at the Shilo Inns and Suites, 536 SW Elizabeth Street, Newport. All proceeds from the sale benefit the food share, which is dedicated to eliminating hunger by creating access to food through a network of partner agencies such as food pantries, meal sites, backpack programs, senior outreach and youth programs. For more information, go to www. foodsharelincolncounty.org.
