YACHATS — You can spot them a mile away. Not the agates themselves but the agate hunters — walking slowly along the shoreline with their eyes trained, not on the waves nor the sky, but on the gravelly mixture at the water’s edge. Here among the rocks and the seaweed they find the treasures that draw them to the beach in all weathers. You, meanwhile, get to see the fruits of their labors in the warm, dry confines of the Yachats Commons as the town’s annual agate festival returns for its fifth year.

LINCOLN CITY — Some people would give their right arm to be an artist, but to become a great wood carver will only cost you a few fingertips. See

NEWPORT — When Oregon’s crabbers were anxiously awaiting the all clear to set out for this winter’s harvest, no-one was watching as closely as Steve Wyatt, director of the Lincoln County Historical Society. The decision to release the fleet on New Year’s Day means this year’s Crab Krack fund-raiser can serve up locally caught crustaceans, saving Wyatt from the mother of all trips to Costco.

GLENEDEN BEACH — The Oregon Coast Learning Institute returns for its winter semester, transforming Tuesday afternoons at the coast into an educational bonanza. You’ll learn more than you would watching re-runs of “Jeopardy” and won’t end up with that annoying jingle in your head.

HARLEY A DULL MOMENT
Chaos on the streets, tension with the police, a heroin crisis and talk of revolution — no, it’s not the evening news; it’s 1960s New York, home to characters like biker Johnny Bargain. Bargain will take a trip back to the bad old days on Friday, Jan. 15, in Newport, with a performance of short stories from his memoir, “A Collection of Bummer Summers.” The highly entertaining compilation of true tales offers a tour of Bargain’s hardcore life as a member of Dapper Dan’s Wacky Racers Motorcycle Club in Rosebank, Staten Island. “Chaos cluttered the streets of New York City back then, which in the 1960s was all about Burn, Baby, Burn,” Bargain writes, “especially in the ghetto neighborhoods where buildings were being incinerated. The cops were pigs. Revolutionaries were stirring up trouble on the Lower East Side. Squatters moved in everywhere. Lots of heroin was going down. And the French Connection was strong. The city was a place where nobody gave a rat’s ass about anybody but themselves.” The reading, presented by Dancing Moon Press, will begin at 6 pm in the back bar of Canyon Way Bookstore & Restaurant, 1216 SW

Edge your way into
2016
Writers on the Edge will kick off their 2016 season with a visit from Portland poet Brittney Corrigan on Saturday, Jan. 16, at the earlier time of 2 pm. A poet and mother of two, Corrigan writes with piercing honesty about the emotional challenges of raising a child with autism and the guilt parents feel over their inadequacies. Her poems have appeared widely in The Texas Observer, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Borderlands, The Blue Mesa Review, Oregon Review, Manzanita Quarterly, Hip Mama, Stringtown and Many Mountains Moving, among others. Corrigan is the author of the poetry collection “Navigation” and the chapbook “40 Weeks,” as well as poetry editor for the online journal “Hyperlexia: poetry and prose about the autism spectrum.” Corrigan lives in Portland, where she is both an alumna and employee of Reed College. Like many writers, Corrigan wrote as a child. In elementary school she wrote poems about popcorn, people and horses. She
wrote and illustrated a children’s book about a snake who wanted to wear clothes and won a scary story contest with a tale about a girl who was eaten by her locker. But she credits her tenth-grade English teacher Perry Weissman for encouraging her to be the writer she is today. Weissman introduced Corrigan to a quote from Henry James, which she carries with her — “Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost!” In turn, Corrigan’s advice for aspiring writers is to “notice everything.” “Be startled by the ordinary,” she said. “Revel in the everyday. See what’s before you, what you move through, where the day takes you, as a child does: worthy of noticing, of remembering. Of writing down.” Corrigan’s presentation will begin at 2 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an open mic for local writers. General admission is $8; students are admitted free. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org.

+HOSLQJ ¿VKHUPHQ XQbirdHQ WKHPVHOYHV When fishermen pull up their nets, they want to see scales rather than feathers. And finding ways to prevent seabirds ending up as bycatch is the topic of the upcoming Science on Tap event set for Wednesday, Jan. 20, in Newport. Dr. Rob Suryan, a seabird ecologist in the OSU Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, will give a presentation on local solutions that could have global implications for the bycatch problem. “Seabird bycatch in commercial fisheries is a global conservation concern,” he said. “Seabird mortality in high seas fisheries of the southern hemisphere has contributed to albatrosses being designated as one of the most threatened groups of birds. Collaborative fisheries research in
the Northeast Pacific, however, has helped develop solutions that are used throughout the world’s oceans.” Suryan will discuss the varied interactions of seabirds with commercial fisheries and the work being done by the fishing industry, resource agencies and conservation organizations to find solutions. Presented by Hatfield Marine Science Center, Science on Tap is held at Rogue Ales’ South Beach waterfront location, Brewer’s on the Bay, 2320 SE Marine Science Drive. Doors open at 5:15 pm and the presentation will begin at 6 pm. All are welcome. Food and beverage will be available for purchase from the regular menu. For more information, call 541-8670234.
Worth turning up for Passengers on the Newport 60+ Adventure Van will get to see the art of woodturning up close on Friday, Jan. 22, on a visit to Hasting Coastal Woodworks in Newport. With more than 2,000 square feet of classroom and shop space, the studio caters for carvers from beginner to professional, with a range of classes and art for sale in
a variety of mediums. For Tom Hasting, working with wood has always been a part of his life, having learned the craft from his cabinetmaker father. Upon retiring, Hasting turned his attention to woodturning, learning to turn beautifully grained blocks of wood into pens, bowls and bottle
stoppers to name a few. The van will depart at 9:30 am from the Newport 60+ Activity Center and will return at about 5 pm. The cost for the trip is $10, not including lunch. For more information or to reserve a spot, drop by the office at 20 SE 2nd Street or call 541265-9617.
Show up with a Good Book The old family Bible occupies a treasured place in many homes. But it could also help fill gaps in the family lineage as the Daughters of the American Revolution will show at a Saturday, Jan. 23, gathering in Newport. The Yaquina branch of the DAR is offering to digitally scan pages from family Bibles that could be helpful for genealogical research, including the copyright page and any pages that have births, marriages or deaths recorded on them. Normally, US Census records help to establish relationships between family members. However, due to a fire in 1921, the 1890 census was for the most part destroyed, causing researchers to turn to family records to fill in the blanks. “These Bibles often host the names, dates and places of family member’s births, marriages and deaths,” said Yaquina Chapter Regent Kristin LoweBartell. “Bibles have been handed down for generations and treasured by each recipient. Seeing our loved one’s handwriting and the special events recorded for future generations is often sentimental.” The DAR established a Genealogical Records Committee in 1932 with the aim of collecting, preserving and
increasing the holdings of unpublished genealogical records in the DAR Library and to make them available through an online index. To take part, bring your Bible to the Newport Public Library between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturday, Jan. 23, where DAR members will be on hand to scan the selected pages. If you have a photograph of the person that the Bible belonged to, bring it along and they can scan that, too. People who prefer to do their own scanning can email the resulting images to yaquinadar@gmail.com. For more information, call 541-9613954.

As owners of PigFeathers BBQ and Twisted Snout Brewery, Stu and Becky Miller have spent years bringing together the twin pleasures of homecooked food and handcrafted beer. Now, the couple are bringing the two closer than ever before by expanding the brewery to both sides of their Main Street premises, with a revamped menu designed to pair perfectly with the brews on tap. The move will see both sides of the building resplendent in the brewery’s bright, fresh yellow-andgreen color scheme while an ever-changing menu will offer a mix of familiar barbecue favorites alongside a range of seasonal specials, sharable plates and more. “People need a change from time to time,” Stu said. “We are keeping the items that people really love and venturing out to try and give people things they haven’t gotten before.” New offerings on the menu include a hummus plate, a steak salad, chilli beans, sweet potato fries, and a range of new sandwiches bursting with fresh greens and gourmet meats, including Stu’s house-cured and smoked bacon and pork belly. “We are offering pork Twisted Snout’s new hummus plate belly sandwiches on a ciabatta roll with cucumber, housemade honey mustard and red onion,” Becky said. “It’s the best sandwich I have ever tasted.” Other new options include a sirloin steak sandwich with fresh greens, hot steak

sandwich served with Stu’s award-winning barbecue sauce, and a smoked sirloin French dip. Stu will also be putting his culinary prowess to work on crafting a house-made batter for fish and chips on Fridays. And barbecue fans will still have plenty to choose from, with longstanding favorites including ribs, pulled pork, wings, and smoked chicken thighs staying on the menu, along with most of the restaurant’s signature burgers. The popular hammered chicken will also be sticking around, along with a deluxe club version that adds Swiss cheese and bacon. In order to best display the shifting line up, Becky and Stu have ditched paper menus in favor of a chalkboard that allows customers to check out the day’s offerings and then order at the counter. “It will allow us a little more creativity and fun,” Stu said. “Instead of being stuck to a menu, if something strikes us as being fun to do, we can just do it.” To keep up with the specials, follow Twisted Snout Brewery on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, where Becky regularly posts mouthwatering photos. Social media is also a great way to keep tabs on what’s new on tap as Stu continues to dream up new brews to complement longstanding bestsellers such as the Twisted Snout IPA, the Honey Oatmeal Porker and the Raspberry Squeal. Upcoming projects include a light-bodied IPA and a pale coffee stout as well as the return of the ever-popular Spruce Hog Ale, made with locally harvested spruce tips. Alongside Stu’s brews, guest taps offer a rotating line up of creations from other breweries and cider houses, including the current Blackberry Cider from Bend’s Atlas Cider Co. And guests will have even more time to sample all of the brewery’s offerings thanks to new late-night opening on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. “When the restaurant closes, the pub side will stay open until as late as 11 or 12,” Becky said. “However long people are in there having fun.” Alongside the craft brews, late-night guests can enjoy a range of appetizers including pulled pork tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp ceviche, pulled pork nachos, beer sausages, and potstickers. And for guests who want an alternative to beer or cider, Becky and Stu are proud to offer their newest creation — a session style cocktail made with sake rice wine instead of hard liquor. Stu said the fresh, crisp varieties from Oregon’s Momokawa Sake Brewery are the perfect basis for all kinds of cocktail favorites. “It’s a neutral enough kind of alcohol where the other flavors are allowed to come through,” he said. “And it’s not going to get you hammered,” Becky added.

And if sake does happen to get you into trouble one night it can also help set you right the following morning, with a sake bloody Mary on offer every Sunday — alongside a home-cured pork belly breakfast sandwich. And while the beloved Pig Feathers logo, with its tattooed, sunglass-wearing pig, is no longer above the door, it will still be around — emblazoned on bottles of Stu’s barbecue sauces and rubs. And, with the couple working with a co-packer to ramp up production, you might soon see that distinctive porker smiling out at you from the shelves of your grocery store, too. Becky said all the changes are keeping the couple energized and excited about taking their business to the next level. “Both of us are creative people,” she said. “We like to have new projects that we are excited about.” Twisted Snout Brewery is located at the south end of Main Street, Toledo, and is open from 11 am to 8 pm Sunday to Wednesday and from 11 am ’til late on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

On Sunday, Jan. 17, you get to do both at the same time, as the Annual Crab Krack returns for its eighth year at Newport’s Best Western Agate Beach Inn. This crustacean commemoration is hosted by the Lincoln County Historical Society, with all proceeds going toward renovation of the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center. The feast features local Dungeness crab provided by Newport’s seafood processing plants, fishermen and Pacific Shrimp. Dinner will include a whole crab, various side dishes
and an array of desserts, along with no-host bar, music and both silent and oral auctions. This year’s fundraising focus is Phase II lower floor renovations of the Maritime Center. Phase II incorporates the majority of the lower floor, some 8,000 square-feet, as well as exterior renovations. When renovations are complete, the main attraction will be the Doerfler Family Theatre, a 140-seat media and event space made possible in large part by a grant from the Doerfler Family Trust. This multi-purpose venue will accommodate small performances, film festivals, presentations and special events of all kinds. In addition, the lower
level will boast a conference room/exhibit gallery, catering area and restrooms. Outdoor additions include a children’s discovery area and terrace. The Crab Krack will commence at 4 pm at the Agate Beach Inn, 3019 N Coast Hwy. Tickets, $55 or $45 for historical society members, are available for purchase at the Burrows House and Pacific Maritime Heritage Museums. For more information, call 541265-7509.

A GEM EM M OF A SHOW THIS WEEKEND, YACHATS IS A-GATEWAY TO GREAT WONDERS By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY
O
The beaches in Yachats offer prime opportunities for agate hunters
h, the timeless beauty of a rock! As they tumble through centuries and millenia of climate changes, severe weather conditions and environmental decay, the rock remains … well, a rock. The Oregon Coast produces a bounty of beauties with agates, jaspers, cabochons, fossils, crystals and petrified wood; these are the treasures that draw rockhounds from all points to the beaches. The city of Yachats, long dubbed the “Gem of the Oregon Coast,” celebrates these gems and minerals with an annual gathering where rock fans can share their knowledge and enthusiasm for all things quartz. On Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 16 and 17, the picturesque town will host the fifth annual Yachats Agate Festival, a free weekend of education, demonstrations and hands-on opportunities to see rough specimens and polished art. Vendors from Washington, California and throughout Oregon bring their finest creative displays of gemstone jewelry, stone crystals, polished thunder eggs, recycled sea glass, shells and other ornamental designs. The event is family friendly and there are exhibits and sandbox agate hunts for children of all ages. Mary Crook, a member of the festival planning committee, predicts this year’s event will have a spectacular turnout of rockhounds. “The energetic storms in December guarantee lots of sand going out to sea and rocks being exposed,” she said. The best months for agate hunting on the Oregon Coast are from December to March when storms are hardest and the tides uncover great beds of stone. The agates and jasper will have been worn down until rounded into smooth beach pebbles or cobbles. Most agates are translucent and easier to see when the stones are wet. The outgoing tides are typically the best for harvesting a collection of treasures. The Agate Festival is widely supported by local Yachats merchants, restaurants and lodging facilities, who appreciate the beachcombing visitors.

“This is one of the favorite festivals here in town,” said Linda Hetzler, owner of the Historic Drift Inn. “It is so well planned and organized, it is a pleasure for everyone.” Local businesses also contribute merchandise and gift certificates towards a gift basket that is raffled during the weekend festivities. This year’s basket includes a gift certificate for a two-night stay at the newly refurbished Ocean Creek Bed and Breakfast in Yachats. In keeping with the festival’s commitment to preserve the beautiful Yachats environment, proceeds from the raffle will
14 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 15, 2016
be contributed to the historic Little Log Church Museum’s garden enhancement projects. Last year’s recipient of the raffle proceeds was the Yachats Trails project. The Yachats Agate Festival is sponsored by the Yachats Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Center and the Oregon Coast Agate Club. All events take place at the Yachats Commons, located at Highway 101 and 4th Street, in the heart of town. In addition, there will be four presentations Saturday in 15 minute intervals from noon to 1 pm at the Yachats Presbyterian Church, located on 7th Street behind the Commons. Visitors will be able to see and hear the unique story of the church’s spectacular agate windows. Festival hours run 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www. yachatsagatefestival.com or call the Yachats Visitor Center at 800-929-0477.

New Year’s fort
O
n January first, at approximately 9 am, I drove to the beach at Fort Stevens State Park. Sonny the old husky rode shotgun beside me. As we made our west to the ocean, I marveled how she’d survived to 2016 and thanked the Dogs of The Universe for prolonging our journey together.
The sun was shining, the temperature a crisp 38, and I wondered what the new year had in store for me. What would I write? Who would I meet? Who from my past would emerge? Who would apologize to me? Who would I ask forgiveness from? What personal and creative risks would I take? What would I do without Sonny? We walked briefly — 50 yards is her limit — and then I put her back in the truck and took a walk by myself. The beach feels incredibly strange without her, but one has to adjust and move forward. I ascended a dune, looked north down the beach and couldn’t believe my eyes: more driftwood collected on one stretch of Oregon beach than I had ever seen in my life. I nearly danced a jig for joy and salivated at the fort building possibilities this spring and summer. This is the Year of the Forts! My wily fort instincts led me to believe that record December rainfall and multiple storm events had flushed the wooden bounty down from the watersheds. I bet this has happened all along the coast. I descended the dune and began traversing the field of driftwood. Some 30 yards in, I stopped and noticed something strange: not a single fort! Preposterous! I thought to myself. I must rectify this gross and unacceptable oversight immediately. Twenty minutes later I had erected my first fort of the year and broke a nice sweat doing so. I
C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E
stepped back to behold my creation and it seemed like a tiny civilized outpost in a wilderness of scattered wood. I left the fort a bit unfinished, but that’s only because it is impossible to ever finish a driftwood fort and this fact demonstrates their collaborative spirit, evanescent nature and metaphorical power. I walked back to the truck and, at the last moment, took one final glance at the fort. In the distance, people and dogs were moving toward it. How could they not? In time, various people would subconsciously pick up a stick, drag a spar or gather up some kelp and add their distinct creative flourishes to the structure. Another person might sit down inside, rest, repose and contemplate life or empty the mind to seek detachment. Someone else might crack open a frosty can of Hamm’s or lick a marijuana lollipop. Kids might play hide and seek or repulse an alien amphibious invasion. An elderly couple might get frisky. Who knows what magic can happen with a driftwood fort! I do know this: build a fort, and people of all ages will come and delight in your labor. They might even begin to build themselves. The magic all starts with one fort, a model, a beacon, a guide, so go to the beach and build one today. It doesn’t cost a cent.

COUGH UP FOR A TICKET
If the mere thought of the holiday season has you spluttering, you could be suffering from a serious case of “Seasonal Allergies,” the latest offering from Lincoln City’s Theatre West. Written by Katherine Di Savino, the festive comedy is billed as a heartwarming story about friends, family and holiday stresses that manages to combine outright laughs with a touching look at a family in turmoil. Julie Fiedler plays Julia, a woman trying not to blow her top when her down-in-thedumps brother, Pete, played by Shelby Barton, moves into her home and proceeds to act less as a brother than a peer to Julia’s young daughter, Charlie, played with impressive energy and effectiveness by Fiedler’s reallife daughter, Hazel. Chloe Hansen and Ren Jacob play Alison and J.D., ever-present friends who help entertain Charlie and Julia’s husband Thomas, played by
Justin Burns and Hazel Fiedler both got game • Photo by Gretchen Ammerman
Justin Burns. They also work unsubtly to fix up Pete with neighbor Emily, played by Roseanne Johnson. Performances start at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Saturday, Jan. 23. Theatre West is located at
3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets, $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, and $9 for children 12 and under, are available by calling 541994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back.
A brolly good show Most umbrellas don’t survive an afternoon on the Oregon Coast before being whipped inside out and blown down to Brookings or beyond. But there is one brolly that is showing some staying power — that of “Mary Poppins.” Brought to Newport by Coastal Act Productions, this practically perfect show is now entering its second week at the Newport Performing Arts Center, with an allages cast that pairs young performers with adult actors. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s

WOOD YOU LIKE TO GO?
Woodcarving isn’t easy and anyone who can persuade a piece of pine to look like a bird in flight or a fish in mid-swim deserves plenty of admiration. But perhaps even more challenging is transforming a block of wood into a representation of a human face — the sort of artwork that will take center stage when the Annual Coast Carvers Artistry in Wood Show returns to Lincoln City this weekend. Themed “Face It,” the show will offer portraits aplenty, alongside a variety of other woodcarvings and wood art from realistic wildlife, Santas and caricatures to intarsia, folk art and wood turning. Admission is free and all guests will get to cast their vote for the People’s Choice awards

Another door opens Newport’s Yaquina Art Association is looking for 10 artists who would like to give less-fortunate children a chance to shine by participating in the Art Doors Community Project. The artists would work with local kids from low-income homes to create an Art Door
using any technique imaginable, from painting to collage to appliqué. The doors will then be auctioned off in the summer to raise funds to keep the project going next year. The project, which began 14 years ago and is spreading across the nation, gives kids the
opportunity to collaborate with an artist to create something useful and beautiful. Applicants need not be great artists but should have a vision and desire to guide children through a creative experience. There are no out-of-pocket costs for the artists For more information, contact Ken Hartwell at 541-563-6674 or hartwell@peak.org.

ABOUT TIME FOR
SCHMIDT
Oregon Coast audiences will have the chance to hear a singer who has drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt and Dave Carter when Danny Schmidt takes to the stage in Lincoln City on Thursday, Jan. 21. The Austin-based singersongwriter has amassed a cult following for his stunningly poetic, poignant imagery that conjures magic from the mundane. The Chicago Tribune included Schmidt on its list of the 50 most significant songwriters of the past 50 years, while Sing Out Magazine described him as “a force of nature: a blue moon, a hundred-year flood, an avalanche of a singer-

songwriter.” Armed with just his voice, his acoustic guitar and his acute commentary, Schmidt shares his truth in the form of songs, unadorned and intimate. After garnering unanimous critical praise for his selfreleased “Parables & Primes” album in 2005, Schmidt followed up in 2007 with “Little Grey Sheep,” which began a streak of albums that charted at #1 on the Folk Radio Charts internationally.

And on the heels of a 2007 win at the prestigious Kerrville New Folk awards, Schmidt won the notice of venerable Americana roots label, Red House Records, which began releasing his albums alongside such notable artists as Greg Brown, Eliza Gilkyson, Jorma Kaukonen and John Gorka. Schmidt released three albums on Red House Records, including the critically acclaimed debut “Instead The Forest Rose To Sing” in 2009 and the spare and intimate “Man Of Many Moons” in 2011 — culminating with the amorous duo album “For Keeps” with his partner, Carrie Elkin, in 2014. His latest album, “Owls,” released in mid-2015, is a mystical collection of ethereal allegories. The show will begin at 7 pm in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $15 in advance or $17 at the door, on sale now at the center or via the “buy tickets” link at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org. For more information, call 541-994-9994.
