An early Burns notice

his week’s front cover presents a scene that, as someone who spent his youth in Aberdeen, Scotland, I ďŹ nd very familiar — standing next to the sea in the aching cold with a glass of something that, try as it might, just can’t cut through the bone-chilling temperatures. Situated next to the North Sea — a very close cousin of the Arctic Ocean — Aberdeen has the kind of winters that make you want to hibernate. The cold was bad enough but the real clincher was the wind, which tended to originate in Norway and would whip across several hundred miles of frigid waters before arriving on Aberdeen’s main street just as the pubs closed. Thus scarred by my youthful exposure to such arctic conditions, I was very grateful for the cheerful company of Wayne Plourde, Belinda Goody and Norm Halsey for this week’s front page photoshoot. With tickets selling fast for next weekend’s Robert Burns Supper, Patrick Alexander we couldn’t wait for better weather. We grabbed our inner ‘timorous Editor beasties’ by the scru of the neck and prepared for the elements. Initially setting up on the north side of the Yaquina Head Light just north of Newport, we were spared the worst of the vicious south winds that threatened to send Norm’s top hat into the PaciďŹ c. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that the best rocks were really on the south side. And, credit to my brave crew of models; they did not inch, they did not complain, they kept their smiles broad and their glasses high as I snapped the shots I needed. By the end, though, we were all wishing that those glasses of apple juice had contained a wee dram of the real thing instead. Fans of whisky, delicious food and great poetry can f ind it all at the Celtic Heritage Alliance’s third annual Robert Burns Supper in Newport on Saturday, Jan. 25.

While with the AP, he was stationed in New York, San Juan, Buenos Aires and Washington, DC, where he served as both an economics and diplomatic correspondent Now retired, Nokes has taken on a second career as a writer and lecturer on

Pacific Northwest history. His first book, “Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon,” uncovered details of the virtually forgotten 1887 massacre of as many as 34 Chinese gold miners in Oregon’s Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Nokes’ latest book, “Breaking Chains: Slavery on Trial in the Oregon Territory,” is an account of the largely forgotten story of Oregon slavery in the pre-Civil War period, focusing on the only slavery case ever adjudicated in Oregon courts. A native of Portland, Nokes graduated from Willamette University and attended Harvard University as a 1972 Nieman Fellow. Nokes’ Saturday appearance at Writers on the Edge is scheduled for 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach drive, with an open mic for local writers following the presentation.

Prepare for a surefooted show When it comes to acts, the Lincoln City Cultural Center sure knows how to pick ‘em — a fact it will prove once again when bluegrass, Americana and blues duo Slipshod take to the stage on Saturday, Jan. 18. The duo is made up of Matt Snook and Steve Blanchard, who met years ago on the Northwest bluegrass scene and went on to become fast friends — and picking partners.

They pair started playing together as Slipshod in 2012 and enjoy entertaining audiences with their humor as well as their musical skills. They oer a broad and diverse range of music, including originals, familiar melodies and dynamic instrumentals. Snook has entertained with a variety of

ensembles, including the Snook Family Band, Free Range and SugarPine. Meanwhile, Blanchard headlines with the Open Range and has played with groups like the Jolli Bluegrass Gospel Band; Prairie Flyer; Jim Faddis & One More Ride; and SugarPine. Both are based in the Willamette Valley and play clubs and festivals all over the Northwest. At the duo’s Jan. 18 gig, they’ll be playing classics and favorites including “Black Mountain Rag,â€? “Did She Mention My Name,â€? “Fast Train to Georgiaâ€? and “Old Gray Mare.â€?

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

If you close your eyes while raising a pint at Pelican Brewing’s new tap room in Tillamook, you could be forgiven for thinking you were overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the company’s famous brewpub in Pacific City. The beers being served up on the site of the company’s new brewery retain every bit of their award-winning flavor — there’s now just a lot more to go ’round. Brewmaster and co-owner Darron Welch said the brew crew wasted no time in getting to grips with the much larger system at the Stillwell Avenue facility, running a batch of a pale ale named in honor of the brewery’s address — Stillwell #1 — to test things out. “That really positioned the brewery staff to come out of the gate with Kiwanda Cream Ale, Silverspot IPA and Doryman’s Dark on a brand new system and hit all our specifications,” he said. While the beers may be familiar to Pelican fans, the Tillamook Brewery & Tap Room offers a very different experience from that of

the Pacific City brewpub, with its iconic view of Haystack Rock. “In Pacific City you walk past the brewery and people glance at it and say, ‘that’s nice.’ Some people don’t notice it — they are so transfixed with the rock and the cape,” Welch said. “Here, you walk in and there’s no question that you are right smack in the middle of a brewery.” Co-owner Jeff Schons said the Tillamook location, with an intimate seating area overlooking the gleaming tanks and stacked barrels on the brewery floor, turns the Pelican’s business model on its head. “The brewpub in Pacific City is a little tiny brewery hooked to a big restaurant,” he said. “And this is a little tiny restaurant hooked to a big brewery.” Throughout the years, the Pelican had crammed equipment and brew staff into the Pacific City location in an effort to keep up with the growing demand for the company’s product. “You hate to say ‘no’ to people that want the beer,” said co-owner Mary Jones. At its peak, the brewpub was producing 3,000 barrels of beer per year, a figure that is dwarfed by the Tillamook brewery’s 10,000-barrel capacity. Now that the new brewery is online, Jones said, the Pacific City facility has returned to its origins — a brewpub operation producing about a thousand barrels a year. And beer fans have given the Tillamook tap room a warm welcome — so much so that owners ditched their original plan for five-daya-week opening and are now serving up beer and food seven days a week from 11:30 am to 9 pm. For people who have trouble choosing, the first stop is often a taster tray, which starts with a sample of each of the brewery’s six core beers: Kiwanda Cream Ale, MacPelican’s Ale, Silverspot IPA, Imperial Pelican Ale, Doryman’s Dark Ale and Tsunami Stout. Then the bar staff add a sprinkling of seasonal

ales, with current offerings including the Red lantern IPA and the English-style barleywine, Mother of All Storms. The next seasonal project for Welch and his brewing team is Irish Handcuffs, a draftonly dry stout that should be on tap by midFebruary. “Whether the Irishman is applying the handcuffs or wearing the handcuffs is up to the drinker,” he said. And that taster tray is set to get even larger when owners increase the number of beer taps at the Tillamook location from 10 to as many as 16 in the next few months. The menu at the tap room is designed to offer simple, well-executed dishes with flavors that pair well with the beers. Offerings such as the fried Tillamook cheese curds and the elk burger give a nod to the tap room’s location, while several mainstays from the brewpub also make an appearance, including chowder, chili and fish and chips. Other specialties include a Rueben sandwich and a grilled cheese spiced up with bacon and apple. Counter service encourages patrons to wander around and check out the views of the brew staff at work, while a large shuffleboard set stretching down the middle of the tap room offers an inviting accompaniment to a pint or two. For those who prefer more cerebral pursuits, a

partnership with the Tillamook County Library Club sees the tap room host a trivia night on the first and third Mondays of every month. And while it’s all go at the tap room, the Pacific City brewpub is not resting on its laurels, with Head Brewer Whitney Burnside working on the first of several barrel-aged beers, produced in space freed up by the Tillamook move. The first of these brews, produced by aging Tsunami Stout in wheat whisky barrels from the Dry Fly distillery in Spokane, will be called “Tsunami on Wheat Whisky” and should be ready to drink as you read these words. Welch said his duties as brewmaster required that all the ingredients be tasted repeatedly to ensure they would blend together well. “It was an extensive and kind of painful process,” he said. “Somebody had to make those sacrifices.” The Tillamook Brewery & Tap Room is located at 1708 First Street, Tillamook and is open from 11:30 am to 9 pm seven days a week. The Pelican Pub & Brewery in Pacific City is open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, 8 am to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 8 am to 11 pm Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 503-965-7007 or go to www.PelicanBrewery.com.

great meaning here for people’s lives.” Plourde and Halsey, who perform together as the Rusty Rovers duo, will bring some of Burns’ works to life at the Jan. 25 event, kicking the evening off with several of his songs, with more interspersed throughout the evening. Plourde will present the Immortal Memory, a short discourse on Burns’ life and works; and will also encourage guests to join in by reciting their favorite Burns poems. Meanwhile, Halsey will put all his charm to work in giving the Toast to the Lassies — a cheeky and irreverent roast of the female guests that seldom goes unanswered. “We are like Abbott and Costello,” Plourde said. “He gets all the laughs.” While the Rusty Rovers will be in the spotlight, the guest of honor will be the haggis itself — a traditional Scottish dish of sheep heart, liver and lungs, mixed together with oats and spices and served inside a sheep stomach. This ‘chieftain o’ the pudding race’ is presented with great ceremony — led into the dining room by a bagpiper and saluted with a recitation of Burns’ “Address to a Haggis” before being bathed in fine single malt Scotch and slit open

with a dirk. For those who don’t fancy the haggis, the meal will also include more everyday items like stuffed chicken breast, seasonal vegetables, garden salad, shortbread and truffles as well as a few other Scottish delicacies including Scotch eggs — eggs wrapped in pork and coated in breadcrumbs; cock-a-leekie soup — made with leeks, chicken stock and barley; neeps and tatties — or turnips and potatoes; and a trifle made with Drambuie — a blend of whisky, honey, herbs and spices. Beer and wine will be available for purchase throughout the evening but for those who fancy something a little stronger, a flight of five Scotch whiskies is available between courses for an added fee. The whisky tasting is what first got Plourde and Halsey involved in the Burns supper last year, with the pair leading connoisseurs through a tour of Scotland’s most famous export. All the whiskies on offer are single malts, meaning they are produced using only barley, yeast and water — each at a single distillery — before being aged in oak casks. So far, three of the whiskies have been confirmed, representing three of Scotland’s five whiskyproducing regions: Bunnahabhain from the Western Isles; Scapa from the Orkney Islands off Scotland’s

north coast; and Glenkinchie from the only distillery in the capital, Edinburgh. Plourde said he is less concerned about presenting a dram from each region as he is with hitting all the major flavor profiles. “I want everyone to be able to experience everything from that deep, peaty taste to the sweet floral tastes,” he said. “There’s always going to be something that you gravitate to.” The Jan. 25 event is a fundraiser for the Celtic Heritage Alliance, the nonprofit group that stages the annual Newport Celtic Festival and Highland Games, which attracted huge crowds last year. The group’s president Belinda Goody, said she feels the success is due to a thirst among the public to reconnect with their heritage and the traditions of their ancestors. The annual festival honors all seven Celtic nations, including Ireland, the country to which Goody has traced the majority of her family roots through several years of genealogical research. Nevertheless, with Burns thoroughly on her mind, she is happy to report that she recently discovered just a touch of Scottish blood in the mix, too. “One drop is good,” she said. “It’s all it takes.”

No guts... no problem? For years, the Nelscott Reef surf contest has offered cash prizes and glory to surfers with the skills and the guts to tackle the big wave that forms above the reef, roughly a mile offshore from Lincoln City, each winter. But this year, contest organizers are giving landlubbers a chance to get in on the action, with the Nelscott Reef Unvitational Open/Photo Edition. During this year’s event, photographers will be able to win prizes of $200 apiece for the best photographs in five categories that mirror the prizes that surfers are aiming to take home — Biggest Wave; Heaviest Wipeout; Ride of the Day; Biggest Wave SUP; and Biggest Wave Women. The prizes for surfers and photographers will be announced at the Awards Banquet, which will take place at Surftides Lincoln City two hours after the event finishes. Entry to the banquet is $10 per person, with all attendees becoming part of the voting pool alongside judges, safety personnel and surfers. There will also be a cash award for ‘Save of the Contest’ that will go to the safety team member that displays the

best save during the event. The one-day event is scheduled to take place sometime before March 31, with organizers waiting until ocean conditions are right before giving the three days’ notice.

The event is made possible by a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau and the Oregon Sports Authority. For more information, go to www. nelscottreef.com.

Bid on your own little slice of heaven As marketing pitches go ‘all you can eat pie’ is always going to be a winner — and an appropriate way to fill a room for an event that promises to honor pie as a slice of the American Dream. The sixth annual Pie Day Auction/Feast in Nehalem will take place on Saturday, Jan. 18, bringing the community together for a family-friendly evening of pie eating to raise funds for the Lower Nehalem Community Trust and Food Roots.

The lively pie auction will feature sweet and savory pies made by some of the best pie bakers in the lower Nehalem Watershed/Neahkahnie Mountain region and surrounding communities. Radio personality Peter Newman and screen and stage actor Megan (Liz) Cole will add some spice to the event by acting as auctioneers.

They’re bringing arty back

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum has ďŹ lled its Main and Northwest Galleries with paintings by Breanna Moran and Rebecca Spaniel for its “Women in the Arts, Redux,â€? show. The exhibition runs through Feb. 16 and the museum will host a reception in the artists’ honor from 2:30 to 4 pm on Saturday, Jan. 25. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in drawing and painting from Biola University in 2003, Breanna Moran pursued a career in visual art as a freelance artist and set painter in the Southern California entertainment industry. In 2008, her art career took an unexpected turn when she had the opportunity to lead a group of tourists through the Galleria Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, where she discovered a love for teaching. She relocated to Portland in 2008 and graduated with a Master of Arts in teaching from George Fox University in 2010. “When I am not up to my elbows in paint and charcoal in the studio, I’m the art, photography and ceramics teacher at Tillamook High School,â€? Moran said. “I hope to be able to encourage a new generation of artists to pursue a rewarding career in the arts.â€? Inspired by the beauty of the Northwest, Moran’s current body of work attempts to distill the complex matrix of textures, colors

and light found in the forests and shores of the Oregon Coast. Her latest images attempt to capture the personality of the various inhabitants and the rugged grandeur of their natural surroundings. In 2013, Moran was commissioned by the Tillamook Mural Project Committee to design and paint the mural on the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center’s repository. Rebecca Spaniel grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, ďŹ shing the marshlands and exploring the Appalachian forests, where she ďŹ rst discovered her love of nature and painting. After graduating from the College of Charleston with her bachelor’s degree in ďŹ ne art and studio art, she began a journey across North America, visiting more than 15 states in the US and three Canadian provinces before landing in Alaska. After experiencing an Alaskan winter, Spaniel decided to rejoin the continental United States as an Oregon resident — ďŹ nding inspiration and a community that embraced her and her art. The show can be viewed from 10 am to 4 pm Tuesday through Sunday at the museum, 2106 Second Street. Admission is $4 for adults; $3 for seniors 62 and older and $1 for children 10 and up. For more information, call 503-842-4553.

Coastal parties mark the legacy of Poet Laureate William Stafford — presents not required By Julius Jortner For the TODAY

W

illiam Stafford, Oregon’s best-known poet, would have turned 100 years old this January 17 and, all over the state, devotees of his work are celebrating his legacy. Born in 1914, in rural Kansas, Stafford went on to a distinguished career as a poet and as a teacher mostly at Lewis and Clark College in Portland. He died in 1993 in Lake Oswego at the age of 79. Stafford’s decades in Oregon were exceptionally productive. He wrote more than 20,000 poems; roughly 3,000 of which were published. This impressive output was no doubt due to his rising before dawn every day to write in solitude for a few quiet hours. His essays about his working habits continue to inspire new generations of poets. In 1970, he was appointed consultant in poetry to the Library

of Congress, equivalent to today’s poet laureate of the United States. From 1975 to 1990, he served as poet laureate of the state of Oregon. Stafford’s poems touch on many subjects: including family and children, his native American heritage, his parents’ legacy, growing up in Kansas, aging, writing and war. Some poems are set on the Oregon Coast. In one, he describes standing with his seven-year-old daughter, Kit, on a high dune looking at the waves that “leapfrogged and came straight out of the storm.” Kit asks, “How far could you swim, Daddy, in such a storm?” He answers, “As far as was needed...” Writing about writing, he said, “The ocean and I have many pebbles, to find and wash off and roll into shape.” For eight years, Stafford taught writing to extension classes in

Something worth shelling out for Mallets will be swinging in Newport on Sunday, Jan. 19, as the Lincoln County Historical Society hosts its sixth annual Crab Krack to raise funds for renovations at the PaciďŹ c Maritime & Heritage Center. The center is located in a bayfront mansion, the oldest portions of which date back to 1880. Its main oor opened to the public last summer and the rest of the building is being remodeled one oor at a time. The Crab Krack oers people the chance to support the historical society’s work while enjoying a crab dinner, along with an array of side dishes and desserts — as well as a no-host bar. Newport’s seafood processing plants,

ďŹ shermen and PaciďŹ c Shrimp are providing local Dungeness crab for the event. Local favorites Past Forward will be playing nostalgic jazz from the 1920s through the 1960s, and there will be a silent and oral auction for stay-cation trips, furniture, quilts, artwork, tools, gift baskets and more. The Crab Krack has its roots in Newport’s Crab Festival, which began in 1938 as a way to deal with an abundance of Dungeness crab and attract visitors at the same time. During the ďŹ rst Crab Festival, 25,000 people visited Newport for the free lunch. The festival ended in 1951 with a big bang: 38 cases of crab were shipped to soldiers in Korea. This year’s Crab Krack will start at 4 pm at Newport’s Best Western Agate Beach Inn. Ticket are $40 for historical society members and $45 for non-members and can be purchased at the Burrows House and PaciďŹ c Maritime & Heritage Museums.

A truck decked out for the 1948 Crab Festival parade.

Memberships start as low as $20 a year. For more information, to purchase tickets, or reserve a table for eight, call the society at 541-265-7509. As well as the PaciďŹ c Maritime & Heritage Center at 333 SE Bay Blvd., the historical society also operates the Burrows House Museum at 545 SW Ninth Street in Newport. Both museums are open 11 am to 4 pm Thursday through Sunday.

You say a little bird told you

With New Year’s resolutions, getting back to work and catching up after the holidays, January can be a busy month but this weekend, Lincoln City hosts a show that’s well worth carving out a little time to visit. The “Artistry In Wood Show 2014â€? will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 18 and 19, at Chinook Winds Convention Center, ďŹ lling the hall with the scent of maple, oak and myrtle wood. The non-juried event is the 22nd annual showcase for the Lincoln City-based Coastal Carvers, who invite artisans from across the PaciďŹ c Northwest to come and show their work. This year’s theme is “Native American,â€? and the featured carver is Lonnie Acord, who carves in the style of the Tlingit people, whose traditional territory occupies the coastal border region between Alaska and British Columbia. After a youth spent in Ketchikan and Juneau, Acord studied mask carving under Frank Perez, a Tsimshian Native from Metlakatla. Acord carves in red alder and makes many of his own tools, preferring to reďŹ ne edges with a knife rather than sandpaper wherever possible. In 2008, Acord moved from Alaska to Seaview, Washington, where he continues to carve and teach the Tlingit style. Visitors to the show will get to cast their votes in the People’s Choice awards in the
