beach reads Former Governor speaks in Newport Next week, coast writers will get the chance to hear from a true Oregon trail blazer. Writers on the Edge presents an evening with former Oregon Governor Barbara Roberts, beginning at 7 pm on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Visual Arts Center in Nye Beach. A descendant of Oregon Trail pioneers, Roberts’ career is marked by many firsts. She served from 1991-1995 as the first and only female elected governor of the state of Oregon. From 1985-1991, she served as Oregon’s secretary of state, the first Democrat elected to that post in 114 years. She was elected to the state House of Representatives, serving from 1981-1985. After leaving office, Roberts was director of the State and Local Government Executive Program at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and held a senior fellowship at the Harvard Women and Public Policy Program. She served for Barbara Roberts five years as associate director of leadership at Portland State University’s Hatfield School of Government, and served on the Portland Metro council from 2011 through 2012. Roberts’ book, “Death Without Denial Grief Without Apology: A Guide for Facing Death and Loss,� written after her husband’s death, is often offered to hospice families and is used in university classes on death and dying. Her personal and political memoir is “Up the Capitol Steps: A Woman’s March to the Governorship.� It is only the third published autobiography by an American female head of state. The program begins at 7 pm, with an open mic for local writers following the presentation. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. For more information, visit www.writersontheedge. org.

Legacy Series continues Jan. 13

Driftwood Public Library’s Oregon Legacy series of author visits continues on Sunday, Jan. 13 at 3 pm when Portland writer Vanessa Veselka visits the library. Veselka has been at various times a teenage runaway, an expatriate, a union organizer, a Buddhist, a musician, a ditch digger and a student of paleontology. When asked by Sam Mowe of therumpus. Vanessa Veselka net about her varied background, she responded “I feel like I’m drawn to things that shift my perspective. When I get into things, I get into them 100 percent. When I move on from things, I take a lot of them with me.� “I don’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m not into that anymore,’� she continued. “They really come with me. I left paleontology and geology in 1996; the language and thoughts around geology and paleontology have stayed with me. It’s the same with union organizing, same with other forms of radical experience. I’ve explored different things, but I don’t feel like I’ve turned over a rock and put it back down and walked away, although I think it looks like that sometimes.�

Her work appears in The Atlantic, Tin House, Zyzzyva, the anthology “Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture,â€? and “Maximum Rock ‘n Roll.â€? Her debut novel is “Zazen,â€? described by Katie Schneider as a novel set “in a parallel universe [in which] America is collapsing‌ one war is already being fought, another is looming. People are trying to get out or they’re going back to the land or they’re buying as much junk as they can possibly handle. The big-box stores have merged with malls and churches in mega-complexes where citizens can ignore security curfews as long as they have a receipt.â€? In her Oregonian review, Schneider said “the prose is jumpy, satirical, often funny, sometimes cruel. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t truly reveal its strength until the climax, when all of the tiny moving pieces suddenly slide into place to create a full picture‌ ÂľZazen’ has a power beyond the satire and the clever reimagining of today’s counterculture trends. It also has heart and soul.´ ÂłZazenâ€? won the 2012 PEN/ Bingham prize for fiction. All Oregon Legacy presentations are made possible by the Friends of Driftwood Public Library. The library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Center at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information about the series, contact Ken Hobson at 541996-1242 or kenh@lincolncity.org.

Stafford celebration The Driftwood Public Library, in association with Driftwood Poets and local Friends of William Stafford, will host a reading of the late Oregon poet-laureate’s work at the library, 801 SW Hwy. 101, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to bring a poem of William Stafford’s to read aloud. Listeners are also welcome. The reading will take place in the Community Room of the library. Refreshments and door prizes will follow. William Stafford (1914-1993) was a prolific poet and committed pacifist who spent his working life in Oregon after a Kansas boyhood. He called his plain-spoken poetry the record of a person thinking. He was well-known in poetry circles for his encouragement of aspiring writers, sometimes advising them to “lower your standards and keep writing.� He became Oregon’s poet laureate in 1975. The annual series of readings are held in January, the month of Stafford’s birth, all over Oregon, the U.S., and internationally. This year the Newport Public Library will host a reading on the same night. See the Friends of William Stafford website (www.williamstafford.org) for a complete list of related events. The library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Center at 801 SW Hwy 101. Contact Ron Sears at 541-996-1255 for more information.

naturalist’s calendar

It’s always a g’day for birding This month, the Yaquina Birders and Naturalists will cover a lot of territory – heading from the Outback to their own back yards. On Thursday, Jan. 17, Fred Ramsey will present to the group “Australia’s Princes Highway.� This program travels the Princes Highway through sparkling cities, breathtaking sandstone mountains and ocean cliffs, vast deserts and tropical and subtropical rainforests. It includes side trips to many of the country’s top birding locations. Australia boasts the world’s most spectacular collection of parrots, plus other exotic birds such as grasswrens, honeyeaters, and whistlers. There is also much more to explore in the way of mammals, butterflies, reptiles and flora. Ramsey has lived in Australia for two years, and this program is a composite of the highlights from all his experiences in the wonderful land of Oz. This free YBN meeting is open to the public and starts at 7 pm Jan. 17 at the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room, at 2129 N. Coast Hwy. in Newport. For details on the presentation, call 541-2652965. That weekend, the group shifts its focus closer to home. On Saturday, Jan. 19, the YBN will set out on a birding field trip at Beaver Creek State Natural Area. Brian Fowler, Oregon State Parks Interpretive Ranger, will lead the outing. Winter rains fill the seasonal wetlands along Beaver Creek, attracting hundreds of ducks including Northern Pintail, American Wigeon, Green-winged Teal and Mallard. Often, northern harrier, bald eagles and red-tailed hawks are seen hunting the soggy grounds. The trip is free and open to the public. Dress for variable weather and meet at 9 am at the visitor center on North Beaver Creek Road. The field trip will last two hours. For more information, call 541-9611307.

Celebrate Scotland’s favorite son with a Burns Supper Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Robert Burns might not be the best-known poet in the US but chances are he is the most often quoted, with millions of revelers singing one of his most famous songs each year in the wee small hours of January 1. “Auld Lang Syne,” which literally translates from the Scots dialect as WHAT: Burns Supper “old long since,” has been ushering in WHERE: Newport Shilo Inn, the New Year in countries across the 536 SW Elizabeth Street. world since shortly after Burns wrote the piece in 1788.

Just such a supper shall be held on Saturday, Jan. 12, at Newport’s Shilo Inn Ballroom, the second year for the event, hosted by the Newport-based Celtic Heritage Alliance. The night will feature all the traditional aspects of a Burns Supper, with bagpipes, readings of Burns’ work and multiple courses of Scottish food including the haggis — a meat sausage dish so fundamentally Scottish that it is the subject of a glowing poetic tribute by Burns himself. While the precise lyrics of Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns “Address to a Haggis,” written in Scots dialect, might require a little translation, the underlying message does not — haggis is great food, which makes the Scots big and strong, unlike the feeble French. The address is traditionally delivered after the haggis has

been piped in to the room by the attendant bagpipers, with all the pomp and circumstance befitting a guest of honor. A variety of whiskies will be on hand to slake the thirst of guests, who are encouraged to dress semi-formal, with the wearing of tartan appreciated. Whisky and strong drink in general often featured in the poems of Burns, including his 1787 work “A Bottle and a Friend,” which reads: “Here’s a bottle and an honest friend! What wad ye wish for mair, man?” (why would you wish for more?). But the man who was often known simply as “The Bard” had his sensitive side, dedicating one of his most famous poems to a field mouse that he startled from its nest while plowing a field. In addition to describing the field mouse in language that speaks for itself “Wee, sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie,” the poem “To a mouse” and includes another of Burns’ oft-quoted couplets: “The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men, Gang aft agley,” (often go awry), words that went on to strike a chord with John Steinbeck. As one might expect from a man who sired 13 children by five women during his 37 years on this earth, Burns was no slouch when it came to romance. “O my Luve’s like a red, red rose that’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve’s like the melodie that’s sweetly play’d in tune,” he wrote in his 1794 song “A Red, Red Rose.” And the lassies did swoon. An already complicated love life blossomed into a litany of scandals, affairs and the fathering of illegitimate children after Burns hit the big time and moved to Edinburgh in 1786. But Burns was not all booze, mice and women. Known as the Ploughman Poet for his focus on the everyday lives of the common man, Burns’ railed against the cultural and religious constraints of 18th century Scotland, going so far as to call for the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of

a Scottish republic. Burns died in 1796, aged just 37, his health ruined by a combination of early years of toil as a farm laborer and the excesses of his later celebrity lifestyle. That celebrity has endured and grown with every passing year, a fact illustrated by the results of a nationwide 2009 poll conducted in Scotland to find the “greatest Scot” of all time. In a nation famous for its battle-hardened heroes, from William Wallace to Robert the Bruce to Rob Roy, Burns emerged victorious, proving, perhaps, that the pen really is mightier than the sword. So, what better way to mark the memory of such a man than by taking your seat at the Celtic Heritage Alliance’s Burns Supper? Dig out your tartan, welcome the mighty haggis, let the poetry and the whisky wash over you and raise a glass to Rabbie.

in concert

No bones about it... Do you like your Haydn brassy? Your McCartney with a sense of humor? If so, slide on down to the Lincoln City Cultural Center, for the return of the Pacific Trombone Quartet. This group plays a variety of music, from the adaptation of modern tunes to classical pieces written for the unusual trombone quartet. They’ll perform at the LCCC next Sunday, Jan. 13, at 3 pm. Tickets, on sale now at the cultural center, are $15 general, $10 for seniors and students, and free for children under 12. The quartet — Greg Scholl, Lars Campbell, Kenneth Biggs and John Warton — are making their third visit to Lincoln City. • John Warton is a freelance trombonist who plays with the Portland Columbia Symphony and Newport Symphony orchestras, and with other brass ensembles all over Portland. He earned his degree in music performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and was a member of several symphonies and bands in Texas, (including the trombone quartet The Slide Handlers). He is also the son of Oregon Coast music teacher and pianist Rita Warton, who has been a moving force in the Pacific Trombone Quartet’s performances in Lincoln City. • Greg Scholl plays principal trombone in the Portland Columbia Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony and the Newport Symphony orchestras. He also plays in the Portland Brass Quintet

and with the Michael Vlatkovich Trio. Scholl earned his performance degree at the University of Texas at Austin, and his law degree from the Lewis & Clark Northwestern School of Law, and is the director of the public defender’s office in Hillsboro.

• Lars Campbell received a degree in jazz performance from Portland State University, and is trained in both jazz and classical repertoires. Campbell is a member of the jazz trio Chopslaughter, as well as the Bobby Torres Ensemble and Pepe & the Bottle Blondes. In addition to his sideline of composition and arranging, Campbell regularly plays with the Oregon Symphony and the Oregon Ballet Theatre orchestras. • Kenneth Biggs plays bass trombone with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, and has performed with the Oregon Symphony, Portland Chamber, Portland Festival Symphony and Newport Symphony orchestras. Biggs is equally comfortable on tenor and bass trombone, and enjoys early music and historically informed performance — including the Renaissance style bass sacbut, which he played with the Portland Baroque Orchestra.

The Lincoln City Cultural Center offers performances, fine arts, art classes and visitor information inside the Delake School at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Other upcoming events include the opening of Katia Kyte’s art exhibit on Jan. 11, and the return of the Coffee Concert series on Jan. 20.

Siobhan O’Brien

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 11, 2013

Over the past five years, Nana’s Irish Pub has become a favorite Nye Beach destination for locals and visitors alike. Shepherd’s pies, corned beef and cabbage and lots of other tasty, satisfying traditional pub fare is a powerful draw – but so is the satisfying lineup of local and visiting musicians Nana’s has presented almost every week. This weekend, to celebrate the pub’s fifth birthday, Philomena, Tara and the rest of the Nana’s family welcome to the coast Siobhan O’Brien, who’s traveled all the way from her home in Limerick, Ireland, for the occasion. O’Brien will perform Friday and Saturday, Jan. 11 and 12. O’Brien, who was first recorded at age six, is the neice of Ireland’s ‘60s music legend, Brendan Bowyer. As Wikipedia notes, Bowyer is best known for fronting The Royal Showband and The Big Eight, and who had five number one hits in Ireland. He is also renowned for having The Beatles open for him at a concert in 1962 in Liverpool. Siobhan’s vocal style has been described as “caressing a lyric with sophisticated simplicity.” In addition to Bob Dylan inviting her to join him on stage, Siobhan has performed in concert as a guest vocalist with the famed Irish group The Chieftains. She has also appeared in shows supporting such acts as: Christy Moore, Donavan, Pete Cummins, Sharon Shannon, Henry McCullough, Maria McKee, Damien Dempsey, Paul Brady and Mick Flannery, among others. Her 2008 recording “Songs I grew Up To” included special guest appearances by several of O’Brien’s musical friends, including Paddy Moloney (The Chieftans), Pete Cummins (Fleadh Cowboys/Nanci Griffith) and Brendan Bowyer. Moloney has said O’Brien’s is “a voice the world should hear.” To hear her voice for yourself, visit Nana’s Irish Pub this Friday or Saturday, Jan. 11 and 12. The party is set for 5 to 11:30 pm Friday and 8:30 to 11:30 pm Saturday. Nana’s is located at 613 NW 3rd Street in Newport. for more details, call 541-574-8787 or visit NanasIrishPub.com.

‘Paintings from Life’ Coast artist celebrates first exhibition

by Shelley Roenspie

Recent arrival featured at YAA Gallery The Yaquina Art Association Gallery will feature the art of Shelley Roenspie, a new member of the art association and the community. Her work will be up for sale and viewing from Jan. 12 to 25. Roenspie relocated to Newport last summer. She paints the area’s landmarks in her “expressionism style.” So far, she has painted the Yaquina Head Light House and the Sylvia Beach Hotel, as well as numerous scenes from the Nye Beach area. Roenspie studied at Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif. and Community Arts College in Media, Penn. and has traveled extensively in Europe. Painting is just one of Roenspie’s passions. Another is “showjumping,” and the horse show scene on the West Coast. Prior to moving to Newport, she lived near Sacramento, Calif., where her art was featured at the Noel Flynn, Sacramento Fine Arts, J 27 and Blue Moon galleries. Roenspie is a member of the Yaquina Arts Gallery and her paintings are on exhibit in both the Yaquina Arts Gallery and the Forinash Art Gallery, in the “Roenspie Corner,” on Newport’s Historic Bayfront. Featured at the same time in the gallery will be work from the YAA Colored Pencil Class. The Colored Pencil Spotlight will show a variety of art work from local artists who take the YAA art class every Wednesday. The instructor, Jackie Treat, says that the class is open to anyone who would like to come try this art and there are some supplies for use. The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is open between 11 am and 4 pm daily, and is located at 789 NW Beach Drive in Newport, next to the Visual Arts Center.

For the first time in her artistic career, Katia Kyte is presenting a one-woman show. The show, at the Chessman Gallery in the Lincoln City Cultural Center, will feature Kyte’s oil paintings, which are done completely from life. The paintings are a blend of still life and plein air landscapes from local locations. Most of this work was done in one sitting, in an attempt to capture the feeling of the moment with bold, loose brush strokes. The opening reception will be held on Friday, Jan. 11, from 5 to 7 pm, and will feature a gourmet chocolate and wine bar. The show will remain up through February 6. The center and the gallery will be open from 10 am to 4 pm, Thursday through Monday. Katia is a Lincoln City artist who lived in her native Siberian Russia until moving to the United States in 2008. Her interest in art found early support when her parents sponsored her art education in a four-year after-school program where she was introduced to drawing, composition, and plein air painting. She later attended a linguistic university and graduated with a degree in German. She is fluent in three languages: English, German and Russian. Her love for the outdoors was instilled early in her childhood. She has always spent a great deal of time hiking and closely observing her environment. This has led to a deep appreciation for remote locations and the unspoiled beauty of nature. Oregon, with its natural splendor, has become the main inspiration for her paintings. She paints from life with passion, trying to capture a profound feeling for values, color and the essence of the subject. Her goal is to see the world from the perspective of an artist and to translate that into expressive, poetic paintings that elicit an emotional response from the viewer. Kyte is fond of the saying, based on a quote from Irish novelist James

Stephens, “Originality does not consist of saying what has never been said before; it consists of saying what you have to say that you know to be the truth.” “Therefore,” she said, “my goal is to search, to be inspired, and to be challenged every day of my life. I realize that there will never be a time in my artistic career when I am aware of all there is to know. I look forward eagerly to improving my skills and reaching my full potential as an artist.” For more information, call 541-994-9994 or visit lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, or become a friend on Facebook.

The World’s Shortest River is Long on Controversy By Niki Price

for the TODAY

Is Lincoln City’s D River really the world’s shortest? The short answer: Yes and no. For the long explanation, one filled with mystery, Mother Nature and a little murky marketing, read on. The D is most certainly tiny. It quickly funnels the water from freshwater Devils Lake, a shallow recreational body fed by several streams, to the great Pacific Ocean. It flows under an unremarkable concrete bridge toward a popular restaurant called Kyllo’s. Even at its mightiest, now through late spring, it’s about 30 feet wide and no more than 3 feet deep. But, to the people of Lincoln City, the D River is a big deal. For one thing, all the addresses in this long, skinny town are oriented to its location. Those who lose their way find a simple solution: find Hwy. 101 or the river, and navigate from there. In addition, the D’s southwestern bank is home to Lincoln City’s busiest state park, and the scenic arena for its annual kite festivals: the D River State Recreation Site. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people visit this beachfront parking lot to walk on the beach, feed the gulls, use the restrooms or watch the kites flying overhead. And, just about every day, you can see a few of those visitors pose for photographs in front of the greenand-white Oregon Department of Transportation sign that proclaims: “D River — World’s Shortest.� They’ve been posing there since the 1930s, when the new Roosevelt Highway brought the first big waves of automobile travelers crashing through the Central Coast. That roadway, later renamed Hwy. 101, went through the city of Delake and crossed over a river known by locals as “the mouth of Devils Lake,� “the channel to Devils Lake,� Devil’s Creek, Delake Creek and, most frequently, “the outlet.� In 1940, the Delake Chamber of Commerce sponsored a nationwide contest to come up with a new, shorter name for the world’s shortest river. The winning moniker, “D,� a perfectly succinct name submitted by Mrs. Johanna Beard of Albany, Ore., was officially accepted by the U.S. Geographic Board of Names. The resulting publicity garnered the first challenge to Delake’s boast. The Klamath County Chamber of Commerce

protested that Delake’s “river� was really no more than a brook, and that their Lunk River, which flows 8,000 feet between Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna, was actually the world’s shortest. Despite Klamath’s claim, the Geodetic-Geographic Board in Washington D.C., agreed that the D River held the title based on its official length of 440 feet at low tide. The D was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Shortest River. ODOT put up the signs, and the legend began. When Delake was incorporated into Lincoln City in 1965, the D River came with it. “Just like Depoe Bay, which has the world’s smallest year-round navigable harbor, we have the shortest river in the world. It’s part of our image, and the charm of the area,� said Roger Robertson, who has been a promoter of Lincoln City ever since he moved here in the 1970s. “It’s something we’ve got that nobody else has.�

Roe hatches a controversy A gang of rowdy 10-year-olds begged to disagree. In 1987, the fifth-grade class of Lincoln Elementary School in Great Falls, Mont., began to petition the Guinness Book adjudication office to consider their own Roe River for the record. The Roe, which flows from the freshwater Giant Springs to the Missouri River, takes its name from the state trout fishery nearby. Coming in at an average of 201 feet, the Roe was poised to D-liver Lincoln City’s river a crushing D-feat. Television and newspaper reporters picked up on the children’s crusade, which eventually made its way to the highest court of opinion in the land: “The Tonight Show.� All in good fun, of course, but many in Lincoln City took the loss of their bragging rights to heart. Dave Gomberg, who was hired as the director of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce in 1989, considered regaining the title a top priority. “A group of school kids in Great Falls basically went out and got a drainage ditch surveyed for a school project,� Gomberg said. “And they got the U.S. Survey of Geographical Names to go along with it. The city fathers and mothers here thought that

just wasn’t right.� Gomberg obtained an official length study, conducted in 1988 by civil engineer Gene T. Ginther, which found that the D River was actually 120 feet long, give or take 5 feet. While this study may not have been completely impartial, having been paid for by the Devils Lake Water Improvement District and conducted by an engineer whose office was located on West Devils Lake Road, it was valid enough for the Guinness Book to re-open the case. In the summer of 1990, Gomberg held a press conference on the banks of the mighty D. He donned his boots, walked out into the river near the Hwy. 101 bridge, and told the assembled members of the press (including three television crews from Portland), that he was standing in the World’s Shortest River once again. The Guinness Book officials had decided to let the Roe and the D share the title. Fortunately, all the signs could remain. How did they shrink the D River, from the original 440 feet to 120 feet with a 5 foot variable? It’s all about the criteria, and whose to use. The original length was measured from an unknown spot on the east side of the Hwy. 101 bridge to the low tide line, which is no doubt west of the sea wall, on the beach. The engineer Ginther decided to begin around the same place, the old fish control structure about 20 feet east of the bridge, but stop much further east, above the line of “extreme high tide.� This point, where the tide ceases to be a “regularly influencing element,� is parallel to the current location of the informational kiosk in the D River State Recreational Site parking lot. The exact points of reference may be hard to find, but one thing is clear: most of the World’s Shortest River is obscured by the highway that has helped to make it famous. At the press conference in 1990, Gomberg recalled, the reporters were a little dubious. He remembers one of them pointed downstream, west of the wading chamber director, and asked, “If you’re standing at the end of the river, then what is all that wet stuff on the beach?� “I said, ‘That’s the D River Estuary,’ which is true, really, because you can’t really call it a bay. Maybe it’s the D River tidal plain,� he said. In the end, the Guinness Book of World Records tried to make both communities happy by creating a dual title. The fluctuating D River held the title most of the time, the listing demurred, but the Roe was the shortest, consistently. Twenty years after D Battle, both Lincoln City and Great Falls are still claiming the title. There’s no one to stop them, either, because the Guinness Book of World Records no longer has a category for “World’s Shortest River.�

If the incoming tide in the next few days seems like it keeps coming, and coming ‌ and coming, it’s not your imagination. This rising tide will float absolutely all boats, maybe even those in dry dock. On January 10-12, the coast will experience the last in a series of “king tides,â€? the highest winter tides we see, also known as perigean spring tides. The organizers of the Oregon King Tide Photo Project want your help documenting the inundation. These highest of high tides occur when a combination of celestial events takes place: a new or full moon when the sun, Earth, and moon are all in alignment; perihelion when the Earth is as close to the sun as it gets in its annual orbit, around January 2 each year; and perigee, the time of month when the moon is closest to the Earth.

themselves leads to high high tides (and very low low tides), but when all three happen at once, or come close, as they will this month, the result is a lot of water in normally high-and-dry locations. Cinamon Moffett, NOAA coastal fellow with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and the coordinator of the King Tide Project, says that while king tides happen for a few days each month in spring and winter, “they’re potentially more dramatic in winter because of our winter weather. Onshore winds and low pressure systems can really enhance winter king tides.� In fact, because weather plays an important role in winter king tides, water levels can end up being higher or lower than predicted. Moffett has high hopes for January’s king tides. Because the weather was “too good� last month, “December’s tides didn’t play out as dramatically as predicted,� she says. The term king tide is commonly used in Australia and South Pacific Island nations. In 2009, Australia’s biggest king tide in nearly 20 years was predicted to occur. In order to document it, scientists organized a citizen-science event in which they solicited and published photos of the rising waters. Many coastal communities, including British Columbia, the San Francisco Bay area, and the state of Washington organized their own King Tide Projects in subsequent years; Oregon’s was initiated in 2011. The idea is to take pictures in low-lying areas during the daytime high tides on January 10-12, document their precise locations, and

upload them to a common website to develop a database of the outcomes of these events. Moffett says one of the most exciting aspects of the project is its grassroots nature. “This project depends entirely on local knowledge,” she points out. “People will focus on familiar places that they know will flood, maybe where they walk their dog, and tell us where the water will likely be highest.” One important driver of King Tide Projects internationally is that king tides may very well show us what the new normal will look like, given that sea level is most definitely rising. Areas that are inundated by king tides are likely to be flooded more often as sea levels rise, so understanding and documenting the extent of flooding will be helpful for education and planning purposes. In Oregon, king tide photos are also useful simply because flooding is a perennial problem already. Moffett explains, “The photos can be used to begin a conversation, to document what we have and what the local impact of flood events is.” TODAY photo All the information you need to participate in the project is available on the project’s web site, http://www.climateadaptationplanning.net/ kingtides/. First, check out the tide tables there carefully. Generally, high tides in Oregon for the king tide days will be between 10 am and 1 pm, but times vary by quite a bit by location. Then, choose a lowlying spot to photograph, preferably with a hard structure or other landmark where an easy comparison can be made with a lower tide. It would be helpful to submit photos of the same location during the king tide high water as well as a “normal” high High tides at Yaquina Bay tide day. Make sure to take careful note of the (courtesy NOAA) location, date, and time of the photo. Then, upload your photos to the project’s Flickr site Thursday, Jan. 10 (information on how to do that is provided on 10:24 a.m. 10.2 the project’s web site) or send your photos to Friday, Jan. 11 Moffett directly (cinamon.moffett@state.or.us). 11:17 a.m. 10.4 Photos could be used to help inform comSaturday, Jan. 12 munity planning processes as localities decide 12:08 p.m. 10.2 how they will reduce their vulnerability to sea level rise.

The project is organized by the state, and supported by the non-profit organizations Surfrider and Coastwatch, a project of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. Phillip Johnson, Director of Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, values the project for its consciousness-raising benefits. “The real value of the project is to get people to visualize what sea level rise will look like for our area,” he says. “It’s one thing to read about erosion, but people get a more visceral sense of sea level rise when they see waves lapping up against cliffs that are normally above high tide.”

GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the TODAY

On the Central Oregon Coast you can ďŹ nd a glass oat, catch a glimpse of a whale spout, or enjoy a beautiful sunset. But one thing you won’t ďŹ nd is an Indian restaurant. If you are a fan of the style or are just curious to try it, there is no better time than the Winter Brewers Dinner on Jan. 19 at the Pelican Pub & Brewery in PaciďŹ c City. “We do three brewers dinners a year,â€? said Executive Chef Ged Aydelott. “We usually pick a theme; this one is going to be Indian-style food.â€? At each Brewers Dinner, guests are treated to talks by Brewmaster Darron Welch, who covers the history of the beer being served, and Aydelott, who will introduce each ) [Q` KW]Z[M 1VLQIV UMIT and explain how NMI\]ZQVO XIQZQVO[ _Q\P 8MTQKIV course it pairs with each beer. JMMZ[ “It’s really a lot of fun,â€? said Aydelott. “You end :M[MZ^I\QWV[ 1VNW" up getting six courses, XMTQKIVJZM_MZa KWU since we do an amuse ! bouche, so you will also end up trying six different beers; it’s a good time.â€? According to Aydelott, guests at the dinner will learn about what Welch calls â€œďŹ‚avor hooks.â€? “He’ll point out which aspects of a beer make it pair well with certain aspects of a type of food,â€? he said. “Like hoppy oral aspects can pair really well with greens, or really bitter beers can be offset by having ingredients that are on the acidic side, like an acidic salad dressing. For example, one of the things that goes really well with the Kiwanda Cream Ale is lemon; it really brings out some neat avors in the beer. Or if you pair something really bready with the Scottish Ale, which is a very malty beer, that works really well, too, because it brings out the malty sweetness in the beer more than if you were to drink the beer alone. That’s the idea behind the beer cuisine, and we really put a lot of focus on that for the Brewers Dinners.â€? Brewer’s Dinners aren’t the only time to enjoy the partnership between the brewery and the kitchen at the Pelican Pub & Brewery, however; pairings are part of the regular menu. The lunch, dinner – and even dessert – menus all have suggestions for beers that have been

*ZM_MZ[ ,QVVMZ ;I\]ZLIa 2IV !

carefully selected; some items h b k d even h have the beer cooked right in, like Beer-a-Misu, lady ďŹ nger cookies soaked in Tsunami Stout and layered with mascarpone cream. “When I ďŹ rst started working here I enjoyed beer, but had no idea about pairing it with food,â€? said Aydelott. “Trying to ďŹ nd new ways to use beer with food has been one of the more fun parts of the job. We even use the ingredients you make beer with in the food. For our Pale Malt encrusted salmon, we use the malt, grind it up and put it on the salmon. We have a hops aioli that we use for sandwiches, and we’ve done a hops-encrusted ďŹ sh. For a recent special event, we had a tasting of the limited release, Mother of All Storms, which is Stormwatcher that’s been aged in whiskey barrels. We came up with appetizers to pair with it and used some of the wort from the beer in one of the items. It’s always fun trying to ďŹ nd another use for the products of beer making. It helps with the marriage between the beer and the food.â€? Because Indian food is not part of the regular fare at the Pelican Pub & Brewery, Aydelott is enjoying working out the ďŹ nal touches for the upcoming Brewers Dinner menu. “Indian food is starting to pop up a lot,â€? he said. “We’ve never done it for a Brewers Dinner, so I’m excited to venture somewhere I’ve never been before. We’re deďŹ nitely doing samosas and our version of butter chicken, but with duck instead of chicken, and we’ll be coming up with other fun Indian Style dishes to pair with our signature Pelican brews. “ /ML )aLMTW\\ One of the beers that Aydelott will likely use is the Pelican Pub & Brewery’s newest offering, Silverspot IPA, which provides you with the unique opportunity to help conserve buttery habitat by drinking a beer. “It’s less hoppy than our usual IPA,â€? he said. “It’s part of a collarboration with the Seattle Zoo, which is working to preserve the endangered Silverspot buttery.â€? Mt. Hebo and Cascade Head, both of which can be seen from the patio of the Pelican Pub & Brewery on a clear day, are two of the places the buttery can still be found, but critical habitat must be preserved and expanded to keep the species

from going extinct. “A portion of our proceeds from the beer go to that effort.â€? Other beers that might show up as pairing partners are the Wee Heavy Ale, and Stormwatcher’s Winterfest. “We try to use special and seasonal ales as much as we can during the Brewers Dinner so it’s not just the same beers over and over.â€? If you’re interested in giving the Brewers Dinner a try, it’s a good idea not to wait, as they usually sell out. “We have about 80 seats available, but almost always end up having to have a waiting list for it,â€? said Aydelott. “We get a lot of repeat customers, because everyone that’s gone to one wants to go to another.â€? You can get advanced notices of Brewers Dinners and other special events at the Pelican Pub & Brewery by joining the Pelican Mug Club. In addition to many special perks, membership includes a subscription to the Club newsletter, which has invitations to Mug Club parties and events and advance notice of beer releases, as well as Brewers Dinner ticket discounts. The Pelican Pub & Brewery is located 22 miles south of Tillamook on the Three Capes Scenic Route.

KING TIDES: January 10-12 will see some of the highest tides of the year, along with some of the lowest of the season. To learn more about King Tides and the related photo project in which you can participate, visit climateadaptationplanning.net/kingtides/. Be extra careful on the beach during these days. If you discover a seal pup or other stranded marine animal on the beach, DO NOT approach, touch, or pour water on the animal. Instead, call 800-452-7888. Keep dogs leashed and far from all marine mammals. Japanese Tsunami Debris Info: Information on signiďŹ cant marine debris sightings on the coast can be reported to the NOAA Marine Debris Program at DisasterDebris@noaa.gov.
