This week’s top five
artsy p. 11 & 14
Maybe it’s the thrill of the New Year, maybe it’s the unseasonably bright and sunny weather, maybe it’s the extra five pounds I’ve been carrying around since well before Thanksgiving — but something has got me thinking about exercise this week. On the other hand, the sword-wielding belly dancer gracing the cover might also have something to do with it. When someone armed with a scimitar demands that you shimmy, it’s best not to ask too many questions — other than “how fast?” But getting the New Year off to an active start doesn’t need to involve undulating hips and yard upon yard of damask. When I stopped by Lincoln City’s D River Wayside on New Year’s Day to grab a photo for our Facebook page, I was heartened to see the beach packed with people strolling the sands in the sunshine. So join me this year in making a pledge to get to the beach more often. When it comes to clearing the head, there really is no comparison. If, however, you prefer your exercise with a Turkish twist, turn to page 9 for the full story.

Of course, there’s not much point having a clear head if you’re not going to use your brain. And so it is with great pleasure that I see the return of the Oregon Coast Learning Institute for its winter semester. A group of retired and semi-retired folks who gather together to learn about everything from history to economics to nutrition, the institute meets every Tuesday at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort. The new term kicks off with a comparison of the political and economic system of China and the USA, followed by a history of the violin. See page 5 for details.

Think of the Oregon Coast. Now think of a place that is utterly different in every single way. Got it? Are you thinking of Manhattan Island? So was I. And who better to weigh in on the contrasts between these two polar opposites than Carla Perry, founder of the Newport-based Writers on the Edge and product of a childhood spent in the Big Apple. This week will see the first of three staged readings of Perry’s autobiographical “Riva Beside Me.” See page 21 for the full story.

I personally will never be able to look at a rock hammer without feeling a tingle spurred by memories of Andy Dufresne’s impossible escape at the end of “The Shawshank Redemption.” Get schooled in the more traditional uses for the tool as Guy DiTorrice and K.T. Myers lead a fossil- and agate-hunting expedition this Sunday. See page 15 for details.
With five gallery openings taking place in Newport and Lincoln City, this weekend represents a bonanza for art lovers. From sculptures made of reclaimed materials to kinetic paintings to pottery, there is something to appeal to everyone’s tastes — as long as you like wine and the inevitable cheesy snacks known to flourish wherever art is found. See pages 11 to 14 for more.

Budding backyard beekeepers will get the chance to earn their stripes as the Oregon Coast Community College’s program of community education classes gets into full swing later this month — with classes in everything from water quality to handgun safety also on offer. In “Backyard Beekeeping on the Coast,” instructor Gretchen Ammerman will talk students through how to choose bees suitable for the coastal climate; how to house and feed them; and “how to check your bees without getting stung… most of the time.” There will be two chances to catch the class at the college’s Lincoln City campus — Thursday, Jan. 23, and Thursday, Jan. 30 — with both sessions running from 6 to 9 pm. The class fee is $27. Other classes at the Lincoln City campus include “Birding Basics,” taught by Caren Willoughby and Laura Doyle; and “Devils Lake Water Quality 101,” in which Lake Manager Paul Robertson will give students an insight into what water quality monitors are looking for and why. Meanwhile, at the college’s Newport campus, David Crayk will teach

In addition to the slide presentation, Link will have examples of textiles she has collected from the islands of Bali, Flores and Java, each of which has its own textile traditions. Originally from Chicago,
Link earned her PhD in anthropology from the University of Illinois. She spent a brief time at the University of Hawaii and has done extensive traveling, mainly in Asia The Jan. 11 presentation is scheduled for 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N.

A superpower size-up The winter semester of the Oregon Coast Learning Institute will kick o on Tuesday, Jan. 14, with a presentation entitled “Governance and Economy: U.S. vs. China.â€? Institute founding member Hugh Wang will compare and contrast the political and economic systems of each country and look at how each has developed its own strengths. His discussion is based on decades of studying and observing US-China relations, as well as his many visits to China, where he has extensive personal contacts. In addition, Wang’s deep understanding of Chinese culture, literature and history will give great perspective to his discussion. He attended high school and universities in the US before he became a naturalized US citizen and has graduate degrees in systems engineering, economics and ďŹ nance. After 30 years as a consultant for banks, telecommunications and electronics industries in New York, Wang retired to Gleneden Beach in 2000. Wang’s presentation will begin at 10 am, after a reception for visitors and new members that begins at 9 am. The afternoon program will run from 1 to 3 pm with “The Mystery of the Violin,â€? presented by George Shiolas — a musical history tour, complete with demonstrations on his 1731 Testore violin. Shiolas has a lifetime of experience with the violin and is the recipient of many honors, awards, scholarships and prizes. He has appeared with the Oregon Symphony many times and is presently one of the Northwest’s leading string teachers.
The Oregon Coast Learning Institute is a volunteer organization made up of people who want to continue to stimulate their intellectual interests. It will meet each Tuesday throughout the 12-week semester at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort in Gleneden Beach, There are usually two topics each Tuesday, one from 10 am to noon and one from 1 to 3 pm. A special lunch is available at Salishan’s Sunroom CafÊ at noon, and there are other cafÊs nearby in Gleneden Beach and Taft. Visitors are always welcome. Membership dues are $50 per person for the 12-week Winter Semester. To view the full winter schedule, go to www.ocli.us or call 503-392-3297 or 541-265-8023.

Help kids blossom through STEM learning programs
As far as volunteer opportunities go, few can be more rewarding than helping a student makes sense of a tough subject like Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics — the so-called STEM ďŹ elds. Figures from the US Department of Commerce show that women make up only 24 percent of the workforce in these ďŹ elds — a statistic Lincoln County School District hopes to dent by setting up seven 21st Century
Community Learning Centers. The grant-funded centers aim to provide enriching after school programs that focus on science, technology, engineering, the arts and math for children between the ages of 6 and 14. The Central Oregon Coast Chapter of the National Organization for Women is recruiting volunteers, particularly women, who are interested in engaging with children and

youth at the centers. “This is a great opportunity to have an impact on a young girl’s life and future career choices,â€? said the group’s president Nancy Campbell Mead. “Research has shown that women role models make a huge dierence in whether girls remain interested in STEM ďŹ elds.â€? Men are also encouraged to volunteer, but because of the low percentage of girls
and women who successfully pursue STEM careers, Central Oregon Coast NOW is focusing its eorts to assure that participants in after school programs have the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from women who are, or have been, active in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Shimmy a break Looking to avoid winter belly? This will push your buttons. Story and photos by Gretchen Ammerman
T
For the TODAY
hrow a dart at any well-attended costume party, and there are pretty good odds you’ll be getting sued for puncturing the exposed skin of someone dressed as a belly dancer. Part of the enduring appeal of the costume may be that, as I’ve recently discovered, it’s really fun to shake your hips when there’s a coin belt wrapped around them. The coin belt I shook was provided by Dawn KC, the instructor of one of the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s newest classes, Turkish Belly Dance. Belly dance has been an important part of Dawn’s life since she was first introduced to it at the age of 12. She started dancing and immersing herself in the belly dancing culture and then at age 21, began teaching, eventually starting an Ashland-based business, Southern Oregon Belly Dance. She also occasionally performed in restaurants with a partner. It was at one of these restaurants that belly dancing really paid off, when a chef, Anil KC, came out on a break to watch the dancers. He saw Dawn, and as she describes, “it was love at first sight,” for the Nepalese man. They married four months later. The couple moved to the central coast earlier this year, when Anil was hired as head chef at the new Taste of India Restaurant in Lincoln City. If you are anything like me, you probably thought that belly dancing was just… belly dancing. But as I’ve lately come to learn, it actually takes many forms. “Belly dance has different styles depending on the country of origin,” said Dawn, “both in costume and dance movements.” Some of the main styles that can be seen today include Egyptian, Turkish, Arabic, folkloric Tribal style and American Tribal style, which is a fusion of styles including Indian and African dancing. “What I teach has elements of what I like from different styles,” Dawn said. “But I’ve really stuck with the traditional Turkish style as much as I can. The Turkish style is more energetic than other styles, Egyptian style for example is more subtle, with smaller movements.” Elements of the Turkish style include the use of finger
cymbals, or zills, and drumming, both of which are part of Dawn’s classes. “Most belly dancers don’t learn to drum these days which is unfortunate,” she said. “With Turkish dancing, not drumming is missing a lot of the experience. Turkish floor work is also disappearing and I’m one of the few people that still teaches it. I try teach everything my students are interested in, which could include veils, zills, canes, swords, drumming — even dancing with trays of lit candles balanced on the dancer’s head.” In addition to coin belts, Dawn provides the materials that be used for these lessons, including drums and even swords. “It’s a progression though,” she said. “I don’t have my beginning students dancing with swords; I may have them learn just the balancing technique early, but usually we’ll use books to learn balance before moving on to actual swords.” One of the books Dawn uses in the near future may be her own — a book she’s writing about belly dancing. “The book mostly covers the traditional basics and, the core moves, which is much needed,” she said. “As a professional, even I have a hard time understanding a lot of the moves as they are described in most of the books I’ve seen. I wanted it to be as easy to understand as possible.” More than anything, the atmosphere Dawn seeks to create in each of her classes is relaxed and fun, and each might be different depending on what the students want to work on that day. If there is a lot of laughter in the room, she considers that a successful day. As to her theory of why people like wearing the belly dancing costumes? “They’re sexy,” she said, “Who doesn’t like to be sexy?” Turkish Belly Dance classes are held every Tuesday at 10 am at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy 101.

artsy Pottery of the first order
By Millie Kimery
By Roxce Stavney
All the elements of a great show
The Chessman Gallery in the Lincoln City Cultural Center is playing with fire this month… and water as it turns out… and earth, too. The gallery’s latest show is made up of work from Earth, Water & Fire, a critique group of artists who have been helping each other push their creative boundaries through regular meetings and retreats throughout the past five years. The show will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Jan. 10, at which many of the group’s members will be present to talk about their art. Complimentary wine and cheese will also be offered. The diverse show will feature works from Earth, Water & Fire’s eight members: Sue Case, Marj Casswell, Robin Esterkin, Jan Katz, Millie Kimery, Sharon Segal, Cheryl Poole and Roxce Stavney. The group takes its name from the elements that go into the art, as well as emotions that go into its creation. “All of us are painters who work in but are not limited to aqueous
media,” Stavney said. “The fluidity of water influences our creative process, sometimes taking it in unexpected directions.” In her pottery, Robin Esterkin works directly with the earth in the form of clay. “All of us use pigments and glazes that are derived from minerals from the earth,” she said. “Fire in the kiln is a transformative element, hardening clay pots into something durable; the intense heat changes the glazes. No matter how well controlled the results of firing a kiln are always an unknown, some surprises exceeding any expectations.” Throughout their five years together, the group has developed a very special bond. They critique each other’s efforts by having an artist ask a specific question about her current work. Then the group responds while the artist quietly listens, then repeats what was suggested and what she found helpful. Their passion for creating overflows during weekend retreats, where they
experiment with cold wax and oil marbling; or paint masks from found pieces of cedar bark. They share food, warmth, creativity and friendship. “Our supportive yet discriminating monthly critiques have helped me grow into an entirely different perspective of myself as a painter/ artist,” Stavney said. “Discussions at our weekend retreats have expanded my thinking about what it means to be creative.” “We are committed to help each group member explore, strengthen and discover joy in her work,” Casswell said. “Each of us sincerely wishes every member of our group success and fulfillment. We trust each other to give honest feedback on our work, and know they will be free with help and support as we ask them to be.” The show will run until February 10 and will be available to view from 10 am to 4 pm, Wednesdays through Mondays at 540 NE Hwy 101. For more information, call 541994-9994 or go to lincolncityculturalcenter.org.
A potter who learned how to work the wheel during his time in a monastery will be the star of a new show at the Newport Visual Arts Center, opening Friday, Jan. 10. Jacob Accurso’s show, “Ora et labora,” takes its name from the Benedictine motto, which translates as “prayer and work.” Accurso discovered pottery when he was a novice monk at Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, learning from a fellow monk who had in turn learned from one of his brothers. Embracing a long monastic tradition of artistic work as a complement to contemplative life, Accurso thrived at the wheel, cultivating the patience to master a craft and learning the history of one of the oldest art forms on Earth. One of the Northwest’s premiere potters, Jeff Procter, offered Accurso an apprenticeship and became a generous mentor and close friend. Accurso went on to get a job as a production potter for Pottery West, throwing thousands of bowls for Mo’s Restaurants and moved to his now permanent home on the coast. He has studied with some of the best potters of the 20th Century, including Tom Coleman, Pat Horsley, Warren MacKenzie, Ellen Currans, Frank Boyden and Jay Jensen. Accurso has also helped carry the art and traditions forward himself, as a teacher through Oregon’s Artist In Education program, spending two weeks at a time in public schools all over the state, teaching students about clay and involving them in his creative process. Like other working professionals, he exhibited in juried shows, sold in galleries and attended art fairs. After taking time to pursue other interests and careers in law enforcement, social work and health coaching, Accurso returned to the wheel full-time. In his woodland studio, he produces pieces that are pleasing to the eye, comfortable in the hands, useful in everyday life and durable enough to last for generations. Though Accurso did not pursue a lifelong commitment to monastic life, his years making plates, bowls and goblets for everyday use at the abbey continue to shape his relationship with pottery. He continues to perfect his wheel-thrown forms, learn new texturing techniques and develop vibrant glazes with minerals and locally sourced clays. Accurso’s work will be on display through March 1 in the Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase on the second floor of the Visual Arts Center. The exhibit will open on Friday, Jan. 10 with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, with a chance to meet the artist and enjoy refreshments. The Newport Visual Arts Center, managed by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, is located at 777 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround overlooking the ocean. For more information, contact Sally Houck at 541-2656569 or go to www.coastarts.org.

Art that’s sure to move you
Whimsical characters will be pursuing a peripatetic pitter patter at the Newport Visual Arts Center starting on Friday, Jan. 10, as the work of kinetic painter David MacGougan takes center stage. The “Kinetascope” show derives its name from Thomas Edison’s early motion picture device and sees MacGougan play on the visuals of film being passed behind a peephole for viewing by a single viewer. The show, which is part of the Visual Arts Center’s 30th anniversary celebrations, will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Jan. 10, in the Upstairs Gallery of the center, at 777 NW Beach Drive. MacGougan’s process makes use of a wide range of painting styles, including the gestural abstractions that have been his primary focus for the past two years. “They’re basically about people,” he said. “They’re figures in motion, painted in such a way as to replicate the actions of the subject. It’s a really empathetic relationship I maintain with the subject while I’m working, trying to feel what they feel and translating that into the markmaking.” But MacGougan said the
“The Lovers” by Steven Alicia
“Kinetascope” show will feature many other styles as well. “I think it’s fun to share a bit of everything,” he said. A resident of South Beach for a year, MacGougan said he has found the landscape and community of Lincoln County quite amenable to his studio practice, adding that even on rainy days he can be found standing on the beach. “The ocean has this amazing feel of ancientness,” he said, “like you can feel the age of it rolling in with the gusts of wind. It’s a powerful experience, every time.” Originally from West Hartford, Connecticut, MacGougan has more recently lived in Portland and Vancouver B.C.
“Moving around has actually had a really positive effect on my work,” he said. “It forces me to adapt to different working spaces, which in turn spurs new processes of artmaking. Now, if I’m not rearranging the furniture or trying out a new material or technique every few months, I’ll feel like I’m in a rut.” MacGougan received his BFA from Hartford Art School, where he graduated magna cum laude in 2003. His work has been shown nationally and in 2013 was included in shows in Portland, New York City and Chicago. “Kinetascope” will run through March 1 and is available to view from noon to 4 pm Tuesday through Saturday. A second reception will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, from 2 to 4 pm. For more information, contact Sally Houck at 541-265-6569 or vac@coastarts.org or go to www. coastarts.org. MacGougan will also be the speaker at the monthly Exhibition Coffee, at 11 am on Thursday, Jan. 16, in Room 302 of the Newport Visual Arts Center. Volunteers and anyone interested in volunteering and hearing about his work are welcome.
Toledo takes over There must be something in the water in Toledo. A town of no more than 3,500 souls, it is home to one of the most vibrant art scenes on the Oregon Coast. Or should that be near the Oregon Coast? For the eclectic enclave sits just out of reach of the ocean breeze, nestled amid the mountains seven miles east of Newport. But, starting on Friday, Jan. 10, Toledo’s art scene is moving west as the Toledo Art’s Guild takes over the Newport Visual Arts Center for a special exhibit to mark the facility’s 30th birthday. The show, “Eclectic Perspectives,” will see 22 Toledo artists, display more than 85 pieces, ranging from painting, metal sculpture and needlepoint art to photography and felting. Most artwork will be available for purchase. The show opens on Friday, Jan. 10, with a
gala reception from 5 to 7 pm in the center’s Runyan Gallery. Participating artists include: Cheri Aldrich, Steven Alicea, Elizabeth Atly, Sandy Blackman, Scott Blackman, Sam Briseño, Don Butler, Malcolm Cole, John Crawford, Mary Eastman, Heather Fortner, Sylvia Hosie, Anne Husmann, Cynthia Jacobi, Angela Lehrbass, Rodney Lehrbass, Cat Mair, Marc Maislen, Janet Runger, Rex Smith, Larry Sommer and Clayton Young. The Toledo Arts Guild was founded in June 2010 as an umbrella organization for six disciplines of the arts — fine arts, mixed media, multimedia, music, theater arts and traditional American crafts. It aims to support and promotes the arts in east Lincoln County, encouraging artists to interact socially; promoting a wide variety of artists; and working cooperatively with the city of Toledo on community projects.

Currently, the Toledo Arts Guild is housed inside Gallery Briseño on Toledo’s Main Street. The Guild works with the city of Toledo and organizations by sponsoring or judging the Scarecrow Festival, Christmas lighting displays and window contests, the Summer Festival Sidewalk Chalk contest. The Guild, which has roughly 40 members, also assists with decorating the seasonal Main Street displays, including autumn wreaths and Christmas wreaths, and repainting the Valentine heart boards. “Eclectic Perspectives” will run through March 2 at the Visual Arts Center, located at 777 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround and is available to view from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Sunday. The Newport Visual Arts Center is managed by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. For more information, contact Sally Houck at 541265-6569 or vac@coastarts.org.

The mother of all comedies
The joys of moving house, parenting and coping with in-laws are all wrapped up in one comic package at Lincoln City’s Theatre West, where “Things My Mother Taught Me” is providing audiences with a riotous start to the New Year. The brand new romantic comedy by Katherine DiSavino, author of the smash comedy “Nana’s Naughty Knickers,” tells the story of Olivia and Gabe, a young couple moving into their first apartment together, halfway across the country from their parents. So imagine their surprise when everyone shows up to help them. Funny and touching, this one will make you laugh out loud and fall in love all over again. The play is directed by Theatre West veteran Rich Emery, who tangled with DiSavino’s “Knickers” on stage last season and is fresh from directing this summer’s show, “The Fox on the Fairway.” Emery’s cast includes Tami Keller as Olivia, Don Bambrough as Max, Shelby Barton as Gabe, Bryan Kirsch as Wyatt, Patti Siberz and Julie Fiedler as Lydia, Sherri Danielson as Karen and Tom Carlson as Carter. Bruce Mace is the assistant director, with Steve Griffiths serving as stage manager. Set Photo by Bruce Mace design is by Bruce Jackson and Bryan Kirsch and Patti Siberz making an entrance. construction by Dennis Gibson. Performances will take place Thursday through Saturday evenings until Saturday, Jan. 18. Doors open at 7:30 pm and the curtain goes up promptly at 8 pm. To book tickets for all performances, call 541-994-5663, leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets for the show are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors aged 62 and over and students aged 12 and over; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation.
A show worth waking up for Coastal Act Productions has made a bright start to 2014 with its production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which continues its three-week run this Friday. The family favorite is a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his devoted father, his jealous brothers and his incredible series of adventures. The musical was only 15 minutes long when an unknown 20-year-old Andrew Lloyd Webber first created it for a British school choir in March 1968. He asked his friend Tim Rice to write the lyrics and took it first to the London stage, then to Broadway, earning six Tony nominations when it debuted there in 1982. Since then, the musical has continued to grow, both in length and popularity. “Joseph” was revived on Broadway in 1993, but is perhaps most widely recognized for the 1999 film version starring Donny Osmond in the title role. The Newport production sees the role of Joseph filled by Bruce VanDyke, a graduate of Newport

High School who has appeared in other stage productions including “Titanic, the Musical” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” “Joseph is a fantastic show; the audience will love it. The music is so much fun,” VanDyke said, “Joseph is a dreamer and this show has made me want to dream bigger and I hope it will encourage the audience to do the same.” VanDyke is joined by a cast of adult and student talent, including Tim Gross as Rueben, Brian Hanna as Simeon, Jason Wilson as Levi, JJ Scofield as Judah, Phil Hingson as Dan, Robert Kilgore as Naphtali, Arthur Swett as Gad, Hunter Oxley as Asher, Adrien Fraser as Issachar, Parker Anderson as Zebulun and Drake Simon as Benjamin. The usurped brothers’ wives are played by Kendra Hanna, Hannah Grant, Robin Gintner, Jennifer Wrazen, Lara Crane, Quitze Rose Pilling, Briahna Wick, Lizzy Renaerts and Courtney Gilseth. “Joseph” features a wide variety
of musical styles — with the cast belting out everything from country to calypso to rock n’ roll. Classic songs from the show include the contemplative “Any Dream Will Do,” the comedic western hoedown “One More Angel in Heaven,” the Caribbean-infused “Benjamin Calypso,” the dazzling “Jacob and Sons/Joseph’s Coat, and the unforgettable “Go, Go, Go Joseph.” The show will run through Jan. 18, with evening performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm and Saturday matinées at 2 pm. All performances take place on stage at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Advance tickets are $14 for adults or $12 for students and seniors and are available online at www.coastarts. org or through the box office at 541265-ARTS.

Connections to nature
recently read “The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River” written by Richard White, a professor of history at the University of Washington. “Visionary…a brilliant new model for environmental history…a little crystalline gem of a book…” went the jacket blurbs written by other professors. “The Organic Machine,” published in 1995, was thin enough for me to read in one sitting, after a superb dawn outing to an Oregon Coast beach with Sonny the husky. Despite its short length, the book’s purported theme (“how human beings have historically known nature through work”) never solidified for me. I found parts of it enlightening and parts of it preposterous. Unfortunately for Professor White the preposterous parts have remained with me. Try this insight from his introduction: Environmentalists, for all their love of nature, tend to distance humans from it. Environmentalists stress the eye over the hand, the contemplative over the active, the supposedly undisturbed over the connected. They call for human connections with nature while disparaging all those who claim to have known and appreciated nature through work and labor. Let me easily rebut these absurd generalizations by referencing my specific experiences on Oregon Coast beaches. First, can we dispense with the term “environmentalist?” It has about as much meaning in a conversation as “communist” did decades ago. I
prefer the term “preservationist.” “Environmentalists, for all their love of nature, tend to distant humans from it.” Really? I exist closer and more in harmony to nature than any logger, developer or fishermen I’ve ever met. I see myself as one responsible part of the watershed I inhabit. That’s the ultimate recognition of intimacy, not distance. “Environmentalists stress the eye over the hand, the contemplative over the active…” Professor, come with me to the beach and I will demonstrate a whole new meaning of stressing the “active” in nature that renders your conception of it entirely outdated and useless. In your book you frame the thinking and the doing in nature as almost mutually exclusive. To me, they are seamless. As for “connections with nature,” I feel connected to it in a way that White’s book never explored, let alone conceived. Most workers who extract from nature I’ve come across are indeed connected to it. They connect to it as a commodity. They make no apology for this, and often assert, particularly at public meetings, that they are more authentic because of this. If workers “starring” in the (scripted) reality shows such “Ax Men” and “Deadliest Catch” represent authenticity in nature, then I must be the phoniest but most grammatical beachcomber on Earth. Now try this passage from page 61 of “The Organic Machine:”

It is foolish to think that the danger and exhilaration of a man dangling from a cliff with a jackhammer somehow differs from that of rock climbers who also dangle from cliffs. We need to take the work and its intent seriously. I do take the man’s jackhammer seriously, especially if it’s blasting rock apart from an Oregon Coast headland for development. Well, as for the man’s intent, it’s a job. The rock climber’s isn’t. One man takes and one man doesn’t. Professor White would have a reader believe that the man’s experience in nature as he clearcuts an old growth forest doesn’t differ from the tree sitter who lived in a 400-year old tree for a year to save it. He would have a reader believe that a construction worker’s experience in nature as he almost built Highway 101 down Nestucca Spit wouldn’t have differed from my 10 years of rambling there. Outside of quoting some lyrics from Woody Guthrie’s Columbia River/BPA songs, Professor White offers not a shred of compelling documentary proof to support his contention, either through interviews, letters, journals, postcards or anecdotes. How incredibly wrong is White’s belief about those who experience nature instead of merely extracting from it? Answer these questions: who writes a book called “One Man’s Forest” if they cut all the trees down? “Or One Man’s Sea” if they empty the ocean of fish? Or “One Man’s Mountain” if they strip mine it all away for coal? “Or One Man’s Dam?” If someone does, he almost always wishes in print he could’ve taken the work back. Of course, someone could write a book about another type of work in nature, about farming, not the corporate-industrial model, but small scale organic farming, and the author could show his readers how his relationship to the land was different than say, someone who regularly hiked parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. That book has already been written. It’s called “One Man’s Meat” and E.B. White wrote it more than 60 years ago and it is an American classic and the inspiration for this column. Professor White should really get out more and meet some of us preservationists before the next time he generalizes about our proclivities. He is welcome to join me on a ramble down the beach where we can debate the merits of his book and its theme. But he will have to get up very early. Perhaps even earlier than a logger or crabber. Matt Love’s latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,” is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores. He can be reached at lovematt100@yahoo. com.

A lady of letters
The Oregon Legacy Series will return to Lincoln Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Driftwood Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 12, with a visit from Sharon Sites Adams, who will read from and discuss her 2008 memoir â&#x20AC;&#x153;PaciďŹ c Lady.â&#x20AC;? Adams was born in Washington, but took her ďŹ rst sailing lesson at Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marina Del Rey in October 1964 at the age of 34. She was the only civilian besides the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife on the bridge of the Queen Mary when it rounded Cape Horn on its ďŹ nal voyage to Long Beach, California. In 1965, she became the ďŹ rst woman to sail alone from California to Hawaii, which she did in 39 days in her 25-foot folkboat, Sea Sharp. Adams later became the ďŹ rst woman to sail solo across the PaciďŹ c Ocean, voyaging from Yokohama to San Diego in the Sea Sharp II in 1969. For this feat she was named the Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year. She now resides in Portland. In all, the series will feature ďŹ ve visits from notable writers from across the state. The legacy series began 20 years ago, when the Friends of Driftwood Public Library created the event to celebrate the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home at the Lincoln Square Civic Complex and to thank the community for all of its support during the transition. All Oregon Legacy presentations are free thanks to support from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library and the Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 ďŹ&#x201A;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.
Tales from the Big Apple come to life
Newport author Carla Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autobiographical tale of growing up in Manhattan will come to life in three staged readings throughout January, starting this Sunday in Toledo. Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riva Beside Me: New York City 1963-1966,â&#x20AC;? won praise from Leanne Grabel, cofounder of CafĂŠ Lena, the site of Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest running poetry open mic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perry manages, with her complex characterizations, and spare, well-toned, evocative prose, to take her readers on a gut-wrenching, inspiring ride from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other,â&#x20AC;? Grabel said. The ďŹ rst of three readings performed by Creative Connections Foundation of Toledo is
scheduled for 3 to 5 pm on Sunday, Jan.12, at Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SolaLuna Gallery, 147 N. Main Street. On Monday, Jan. 20, the group will perform at the Three Friends CoďŹ&#x20AC;ee House, 201 SE 12th Avenue, Portland, from 7 to 8 pm, followed by an open mic. The ďŹ nal performance will take place from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, Jan. 31, at Club 1216, Canyon Way Bookstore & Restaurant, 1216 SW Canyon Way, Newport. Admission to all shows is free, but donations are encouraged. Additional performances will be scheduled after January. For those interested in hosting a staged reading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riva Beside Me,â&#x20AC;? and for all other information, contact info@ dancingmoonpress or call 541-574-7708.

The holidays can take their toll on the heart. All those cookies, chocolates and cocktails add up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s before considering the eďŹ&#x20AC;ects of grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butter-drenched mashed potatoes. So what better time to take your heart in for its regular service? In recognition of American Heart Month, Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute is oďŹ&#x20AC;ering free heart health screenings in Lincoln County. The ďŹ rst screening session will take place on Saturday, Jan. 18, from 8 am to noon at Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Samaritan PaciďŹ c Communities Hospital, 930 SW Abbey Street. On Saturday, Feb. 8, the institute will oďŹ&#x20AC;er screenings from 8 am to noon at Samaritan Surgical Clinic, Suite B, 3100 N.E. 28th Street, Lincoln City.
The tests take about 15 minutes, with the appointment lasting about half an hour in total. Screenings include a full lipid panel with total cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checks. Copies of test results will be provided so participants may follow up with their primary care provider. Eight hours of fasting is required for accurate test results, so participants should not consume any food or beverages other than water after midnight the night before the test. Heart-healthy refreshments will be provided at each screening for people to enjoy after their tests. Registration is required and space is limited. To schedule an appointment, call toll free 1-855-543-2780.
An evening of measured entertainment The Celtic Heritage Alliance is inviting all lovers of Scottish culture to dust oďŹ&#x20AC; their kilts for a ďŹ ve-course traditional Scottish feast at Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shilo Inn on Saturday, Jan. 25. As well as ďŹ ne food, the 3rd annual Robert Burns Supper will give whisky fans the chance to sample ďŹ ve unique single malt scotches during the night. A presentation on Burns, readings of his works and live music will round out the evening, which runs from 7 to 10 pm. For more than 200 years, the poetry and works of Robert Burns have been celebrated at gatherings just like this, all over the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve when revelers ring in the new year with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Auld Lang Syne.â&#x20AC;? The feast costs $35 per person, with the whisky tasting available for an added $25. Tickets are available at Bridieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Faire in Nye Beach, online at newportcelticfestival.com or by calling 541-574-9366. The Shilo is co-sponsoring the event along with Lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haggis of Roseburg. All funds raised from the event will go to support the Celtic Heritage Alliance in its non-proďŹ t mission to promote and preserve Celtic culture on the Oregon Coast.

Chinook Winds Casino Resort will resound with a Deep South twang on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 17 and 18, as 3 Doors Down take to the stage for a pair of acoustic rock performances. Formed in Escatawpa, Mississippi, in 1996, 3 Doors Down went on to release their ďŹ rst studio album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Better Lifeâ&#x20AC;? in 2000. The three international hit singles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kryptonite,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loserâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck and Run,â&#x20AC;? helped â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Better Lifeâ&#x20AC;? become the 11th best-selling album of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; certiďŹ ed six times platinum. In 2010, the band released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shine,â&#x20AC;? which was used as a promotion for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver BC. In 2011, they released their ďŹ fth studio album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time of My Lifeâ&#x20AC;? featuring the hit single,
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Young,â&#x20AC;? which reached a position of 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Last year, they traveled with Gretchen Wilson and ZZ Top for a six-week-long â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gang of Outlaws Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and, from the tail end of 2012 through to March 2013, went on a joint headlining tour with fellow rock band Daughtry.
Rhythm for the big blue in Yachats
Multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Alex Kash will play a concert at Yachats Commons on Thursday, Jan. 16, as part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heal The Ocean, A Day Of Shared Culture In Prayer.â&#x20AC;? Kash, who has created 10 albums of original music as well as writing songs for Journey and Pat Travers, moved to the Oregon Coast in September 2013. For years, Kash was a studio musician and recording engineer, working on recordings for artists including Van Morrison, Sly Stone, Pablo Cruise, New Riders of The Purple Sage and Dan Fogelberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandfather was a bandleader who worked in Reno,â&#x20AC;? Kash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he died, my mother inherited enough musical instruments to ďŹ ll our basement. My mom, who was a relatively poor single mom, now had a great way to keep her four kids busy. My brother and I grew up playing with instruments down there.â&#x20AC;?

own band, working in the San Francisco scene, along with people like JeďŹ&#x20AC;erson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. Playing under the name Fever, their ďŹ rst record was a single release called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lazyâ&#x20AC;? backed with â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Stone Shame,â&#x20AC;? both of which were played on San Francisco radio. Recording fame came later though, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not There,â&#x20AC;? a song Alex recorded solo on the island of Capri, oďŹ&#x20AC; the coast of Italy, which became a dance hall hit and is now on the collectorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; circuit. Now with more than 27 years of experience in every area of music, Kash has released his latest album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whole New World,â&#x20AC;? which essentially details the greener world he would like to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked my whole life in music,â&#x20AC;? Kash said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I rarely have a full dollar in my pocket because of the way the industry is; and the amount of causes I want to help, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready anytime to make a whole new world. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always need money to do it. You just need love.â&#x20AC;? Kashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert is free to all and will begin at 4 pm in the auditorium of the Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. The Heal The Ocean event, billed as a day of community, music and prayer, begins at noon.
