Who do you think you are?
Build your own family tree, with a little help
The question “where did I come from?” is one of the most basic questions in life. And genealogy expert Carolyn Russell will aim to help people find answers at her Friday, Jan. 15, class at the Newport 60+ Activity Center. Russell, who has been doing genealogical research for about 30 years, will discuss various sources for obtaining family information and show students how to efficiently expand knowledge of their ancestors.

Sounds sketchy Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts is offering adults the chance to learn the fundamentals of sketching in a three-session workshop in January. Led by Manzanita artist Renee L. Delight, “Living the Sketchy Life” is aimed at everyone from complete beginners to experienced artists. The class will cover drawing fundamentals, materials and
supplies, experimenting with different drawing mediums, developing a sketchbook habit and creative problem solving. All sketching and drawing will be done from life.

My share of excitement
Why we live in the PNW: Caught in a hideous hail storm en route to the game. Manhole covers bubbling off the pavement. All taxis passing us, full. Turned a corner and there was a Yellow Cab. He pulled over. Said he was dispatched elsewhere, but would make a detour for us. Got us within a short distance of where we wanted to be and in mid intersection gave us directions. I asked, ‘What do we owe you?’ He said, ‘Just go. Seriously, just go. Enjoy the game.’ And then, dripping wet we found a spot in Altstaht, got our libations. Short time later, the waitress brought me another and said, ‘the bartender made a second by mistake so you can have this.’ Love my PNW. Go Hawks.” That was what I found on an early 2015 Facebook post when I took a trip down social media memory lane to see how the year had treated me. It was from January after we walked to the Seahawks championship game in absolutely hideous weather. For as long as I can remember, I have ended each year by reflecting on the previous 12 months. I consider highs and lows, losses, favorite books, lessons learned. This year, however, I turned not to my usual journal, but found myself flipping through my posts on social media. And I realized that in some ways, it’s a better gauge of recent history. On Facebook, I saw not only my posts, but comments, criticisms and observations from others. Once, when I commented that a certain disgraced public figure was kinda hot, a “friend” replied that the comment made me look “shallow.” My big beef of 2015 came after a trip to Bridgeport Village for some much-needed shopping therapy. All went well. I shopped. We dined out. And when it was over, I could honestly say I’d stuck to the budget. What I hadn’t factored in was the hub’s nearly-$300 traffic ticket. Neither had he. That’s because we didn’t know about it until two weeks later when the ticket arrived from the City of Tualatin. A traffic camera had caught him making a right hand turn on a red light. Apparently, that’s not legal in Tualatin. According to the video, the violation occurred at about 6:50 am, at a speed of 15 mph, with one other car visible in the intersection. I can’t imagine anyone with an iota of common sense believing that warrants a $280 fine. We did get $60 back after writing an explanation and pointing out the above. But it still feels awful
The miraculous Yellow Cab makes its appearance
steep to me. My other big beef came when my new laptop refused to cooperate with my wireless server. After more than a month of endless phone calls and two trips to HP repair, I was about to give up. Instead, on a whim I called our Internet provider. In less than five minutes, problem solved. The young telephone
representative had simply Googled the error message and realized I needed to change the wireless access channel. There were plenty of highpoints, too. The epic Seahawks championship game, which I watched (after drying out at the hotel) with a bunch of other hugging strangers at the Bookstore bar, while the hubs screamed

his heart out at the stadium. Of course, it was followed by the epic Superbowl loss. There were trips to Tacoma and Vegas, and a riverboat lunch cruise courtesy new old friend. There was the summer visit from my mom’s dear friend, followed by four crazy fun days with my best friend since third grade. We didn’t waste a moment. And I doubt we’ll forget many, either. There were some curious moments as well, such as the cryptic: “Valentine from my publisher” post made on Feb. 14. I could not recall any such note of affection. Finally, I consulted the real journal and discovered that was the day I’d received the signed contract for my novel — to debut (finally!) this summer. But ah yes, the real journal. It doesn’t include comments or “likes” from others, but then again, should I mention someone’s hot, no one gets to dub me “shallow. I’m sure in the coming year, I’ll be posting the various highs and lows of my life. But when it really matters, I’ll be uncapping the pen and flipping to a blank page. I can’t imagine any computer post ever being quite as satisfying as that. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

THIS NEW YEAR
Dive into 2016 with Manzanita’s Polar Plunge Story & photos by Scott Gilbert For the TODAY
I
t’s meaningless — in a good way. That’s how Janice Gaines describes Manzanita’s Polar Plunge, the New Year’s Day ocean dip that she launched in 2004 with a handful of brave souls. The event has grown into a celebration that draws jubilant crowds for a mass run into the surf on the first day of each year. “This is key: It has no meaning,” Gaines said. “It’s just a fun thing to do, for your own spirit, your own sense of foolishness and youth, and a little bit of fear factor for many people.” The Polar Plunge is held at Neahkahnie Beach, just north of the Manzanita city limits, with participants gathering for an 11 am group photo that is followed by the raucous charge into the frigid ocean. Gaines kicked off the Polar Plunge, publicizes it each year on the spamanzanita.com blog and Spa Manzanita Facebook page, and is an organizing presence at the event, but rejects the idea that she is in charge. “All I do is show up and tell everyone to go,” she said. “I have no liability, I have no investment. Anyone can jump in the ocean any time they want.” Still, she has a philosophy that prevails at the Polar Plunge, and the lack of an assigned meaning is paramount. “Every year, I get calls, requests to make it a fundraiser,

or attach it to some cause,” she said, recounting how a local wellness initiative recently inquired about sponsoring the plunge. “They go, ‘Well, this is your event, so we don’t want to encroach upon it.’ And I said, ‘Well good! You’re not.’ And they go, ‘You won’t consider it?’ No! Absolutely not!” It’s not that Gaines is opposed to wellness — in fact, she was a professional bicycle racer before her career as a massage therapist and spa proprietor. “I just don’t want anything more complicated to it,” she said “I want to keep it exactly the way it is, because there’s very few things in life that have no meaning, except for just fun. I don’t want to attach anything
to it, because that would take away from what it is.” Some attendees attach personal significance to their participation, and Gaines welcomes them. For instance, some people take part to memorialize loved ones who have passed away or to mark other milestones. “For some people, it could be a cleansing, you know, it could be — it’s whatever,” she said. “But the plunge itself has no meaning. You can have any meaning you want.” The big thing Gaines likes about the event is that all the participants and observers are smiling. “Everyone’s together doing something that crosses all bad barriers of separation between
humans,” she said. “That’s what I think is beautiful, is that there’s a complete openness and shared experience that has only fun attached to it.” Many participants wear bathing suits while others join the plunge on the spur of the moment, resulting in occasional outfits of T-shirts and underwear. “Costumes are becoming a thing,” Gaines said. “They do get wrecked when you’re underwater.” Gaines got the idea for the first Polar Plunge when a friend told her about a New Year’s Day dip in the upper Midwest that required cutting a hole in lake ice. And while the Pacific Ocean is chilly on New Year’s Day, it doesn’t compare to the

bitter temperatures found on the plains. “It’s not that cold,” Gaines said. “Those guys that jump into the ice — where they actually cut an ice hole? That I don’t think I’m interested in.” A string of warm New Year’s Days has resulted in crowds of 400 or 500 people coming to Manzanita from as far as Portland and Seattle in recent years, but Gaines laughed as she speculated about what would
happen on a cold, rainy day. “I don’t think there’ll be 500 people,” she said. Gaines said she often gets thanked for the Polar Plunge — and always responds by telling people: “I didn’t do this. You did it.” “I think — when people thank me — they’re really just thanking the fact that there’s nature,” she said. “That there’s the ability to experience nature, and wrap your body in it.”

TAKE A DIP AND STAY TO SOCIALIZE, AT THE COAST’S COLD-WATER GET-TOGETHERS LINCOLN CITY – FRIDAY, JAN. 1
OCEANSIDE - FRIDAY, JAN. 1 Road crews in Tillamook County are working overtime to repair access roads to the Oceanside Wayside in time for New Year’s Day, when the Tillamook County Family YMCA will hold its Third Annual Polar Plunge. Torrential rains left buckled roads closed in late December, but organizers are confident the asphalt will be back in place in time for the Jan. 1 dip, which starts at 10 am. YMCA staff will serve hot chocolate, coffee and treats and provide a bonfire or two to help revelers warm up after their chilly swim. The Oceanside Wayside is located 10 miles west of Tillamook; take Third Street to Netarts Hwy. W.
Since it debuted in 2010 with a handful of hardy souls, the Devils Lake Dunk has grown every year, with dozens of people now gathering each January First to charge into the lake’s frigid waters. As befits such a loosely organized affair, no-one had been taking attendance — until last year when a push to mark Lincoln City’s 50th anniversary by getting at least 50 people in the lake led to record attendance. So this Friday’s dunkers would be well advised to get to Regatta Park early in order to secure the best starting spot for their mercifully brief dip into the chilly depths. Some choose to run in from the shore, with others opt for the single-moment-of-insanity approach and jump from the pontoon docks. Devils Lake Manager Paul Robertson, who has been a fixture at the dunk since the start, said December’s heavy rains will see the lake inch up from the near-freezing temperatures seen in recent years to something more like 50 degrees, putting it roughly on par with the Pacific Ocean. “We will be celebrating the end of a soaker December with a dunk to remember,” he said. Need something to sweeten the deal? All dunkers get to munch on donuts and sip hot coffee after they emerge. Because why settle for one buzz when you can have three?
NEWPORT – SATURDAY, JAN 2 Throwing yourself into the ocean on a January morning is the sort of thing that some people need a little time to gear up for. And this year’s Resolution Run & Polar Bear Plunge aims to cater to all types — offering everything from a 5-kilometer run, for folks who just want get it over with, to a halfmarathon for procrastinating plungers who might need an hour or two to contemplate the impending icy immersion. The event also offers a 10-kilometer route, with all races starting and ending at the Rogue Brewery in South Beach. The post-run plunge into Yaquina Bay is optional, but organizers report that about 85 percent of runners choose to take the dip. Registration and packet pickup opens at 7:30 am, with the half-marathon runners setting out at 9 am. A kids’ fun run will start at 9:30 am, followed at 10 am by the 5k and 10k runs After all the plunging is done, a post-event celebration at Rogue Brewery will offer hot clam chowder and apple cider to all runners — and a free, cold brew for those 21 and over. Registration is $35 for the 5k, $40 for the 10k and $45 for the half-marathon, with a $5 discount for the first 50 people registering in each category. All finishers will receive a medal. Registration for the kids’ fun run is $10 per person. For more information or to register, go to www. ardoradventures.com.
5k Course A fast, flat and picturesque course that offers beautiful views of the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge and South Jetty. Starting at Rogue Brewery, run under the Yaquina Bay Bridge, along South Jetty and on to the South Beach State Park paved trail before turning around and heading back to the finish line at Rogue Brewery 10k Course Follows same route as the 5k until the three-mile marker, where runners will turn right
on to Ferry Slip Road, past the Oregon Coast Aquarium and then left on SE 35 Street to enjoy the views along Yaquina Bay, turning around before Idaho Point to head back to the brewery.
Half-Marathon Course Mostly on trails, this route takes runners along Ferry Slip Road towards SE 35 Street before taking a left at SE Leeks High Road. A beautiful but challenging course with about 1,300 feet of net elevation gain.

Get a peace of the action At the sixth annual New Year’s Day Peace Hike in Yachats By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY
I
n a normal year, Yachats’ traditional New Year’s Day Peace Hike would see walkers tackle a six-mile route through the lush greenery of the Siuslaw National Forest to a secluded grotto, where they would perform a peace ceremony in front of the Amanda Statue. But the anything-but-peaceful weather in the run up to this year’s walk forced organizers to change their plans, after torrential rain and landslides left the grotto destroyed and the iconic statue missing without trace. Participants in the Friday, Jan. 1, walk will instead follow a four-mile route along the oceanfront 804 Trail to the Gerdemann Botanical Preserve, before returning to the Yachats
Each year, Peace Hike participants can add to their collection of souvenir buttons, designed by the Siuslaw National Forest’s artists-in-residence
A painting of last year’s Peace Hike by Margie Lopez Reid
Barbara B. Covell is a contributing journalist with 10 years’ experience in Oregon newspapers and regional magazines. Feel free to contact her at bbcovell@ me.com. Commons for the peace ceremony, refreshments and music. The New Year’s Day Peace Hike originated after the 2009 dedication of the historic Amanda Trail. It is representative of the plight of the First Nations people, who were rounded up, forced to march more than 80 miles barefoot over rough terrain, and incarcerated at the Alsea sub-agency prison camp from 1859 to 1875. Amanda was a young blind woman who was forced to leave her child and walk from Coos Bay to the internment camp, where she died from exposure and starvation. Today, much of the Alsea sub-agency internment camp is known as the City of Yachats. When the community developed the Amanda Trail, members of the Alsea, Coos, Lower Umpqua, Siuslaw Indians and other Tribes participated in the dedication, and the healing began after centuries of oppression. The land, trails and Amanda’s grotto are considered holy places by the community, which seeks to honor the traditions and remember the suffering of the First Nations people.
The Amanda Statue, since washed away by December’s torrential rains
Each New Year’s Day Peace Hike has been sponsored by the Yachats Trails Committee, a group of volunteers who meet monthly to provide upkeep and supportive maintenance to the US Siuslaw National Forest and Oregon State Parks. “At the first Peace Hike, while standing on the bridge over the grotto, we had the experience of healing, removal of shame and forgiveness of blame” said committee chair Lauralee Svendsgaard. “Having the Tribes participate with the people of Yachats is so powerful. The earth-based rituals of fire and smoke create heartfelt magic.” “This real story resonates in who we are and how we project to others,” said fellow committee
14 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 1, 2016
member Katherine Wheeler. “No matter the oppression of others, there are people in this world who stand up and say it is not okay. In Yachats, the truth about the genocide was covered up for years. This community works hard to transcend the past. It took a huge amount of courage from the Alsea and the [Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians] Tribes to come here.” Those interested in participating in this year’s Peace Hike should meet at 10 am at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy 101 N., on Friday, Jan. 1. Yachats Mayor Ron Brean will introduce Doc Slyter, elder, Tribal flutist and Tribal Council member for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians, who will tell the story of Amanda. The Yachats Ladies Club will provide warm bread and breakfast pastries prior to the Peace Hike departure. After returning to the Yachats Commons, hikers will receive a button created by the Siuslaw National Forest artist-inresidence. Each year’s button is completely different, as the artists are given no parameters, but the results are colorful and unique. A painting of the 2015 Peace Hike by Margie Lopez Reid, the 2014 artist-in-residence, will be auctioned to benefit the Yachats Trails Committee. A second painting by this year’s artist-inresidence, Coleen Caubin, will be auctioned to benefit the 2016 Artist-in-Residence Program. Both artists will be present for the event. The Tribes and community members will serve potluck while entertainment will be in the form of music with drumming. Yachats now has a community drum that can accommodate six people. “It is through the Tribes’ and community’s endeavors with the Amanda Trail that many have become more aware of the great need to acknowledge the wrongs of the past,” Svendsgaard said, “and to be more conscious of the need to treat people of all cultures throughout the world with honor, dignity and respect.” For more information contact Lauralee at trails@goyachats.com or 541-547-3640.

Sneezes and wheezes are par for the course whenever an audience gathers inside for a winter show, but the sniffles that fill the auditorium at Lincoln City’s Theatre West this weekend might owe less to the weather and more to the heartfelt tale playing out on stage. “Seasonal Allergies,” a comedy by Katherine Di Savino, 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. Directed by Theatre West veteran Stina SeegerGibson, the play stars Julie Fiedler as Julia, Shelby Barton as Pete, Hazel Fiedler as Charlie, Justin Burns as Thomas, Chloe Hansen as Alison, Ren
Jacob as J.D. and Roseanne Murphy as Emily. Seeger-Gibson’s crew includes Linda Jackson as assistant director, Mallory Migliacco as stage manager and Max Johnson on lights and sound. Performances start at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Saturday, Jan. 23, and at 2 pm for a special matinée on Sunday, Jan. 3.
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 541-994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back. A special group discount is available at $10 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation.
Theatre West will hold auditions for “Death by Fatal Murder,” a comedy by Peter Gordon, on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 10 and 11. Director Rich Emery is looking for four men and four women to fill roles in the show, the third in a series chronicling the inept crimesolving efforts of Inspector Pratt. Pratt’s latest visit to Bagshot House sees him embroiled in more mystery, aided and abetted by Miss Maple and Constable Thomkins. Upper-crust Ginny and Italian gigolo Enzo help with inquiries, but danger soon looms with an unexpected arrival and a frightening suggestion by Welsh busybody, Blodwyn Morgan.
Auditions will start at 7 pm both days in the theatre, located at 3536 Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. No previous acting experience is necessary. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. The play will run from March 3 through March 26, with performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm with call at 6:30 pm. There will be one 2 pm Sunday matinée, with the date to be determined once the cast is selected. Emery is also looking for behind-the-scenes volunteers. Anyone interested should drop by the auditions or leave a message at 541-994-5663.
What are your odds? Yachats-based theater company One of Us Productions is on the lookout for six women and two men to take to the stage in a female version of Neil Simon’s classic comedy “The Odd Couple.” The gender-switching rewrite sees Felix and Oscar replaced by Florence and Olive. And, instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. Meanwhile, the Pidgeon
sisters have been replaced by the two Costazuela brothers, but the hilarity remains the same. Performances will run on weekends from April 8 to 24. Auditions will start at 7 pm on Thursday, Jan. 7, and Saturday, Jan. 9, and at 2 pm on Sunday, Jan. 10, in room 3 of the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. For more information, contact Director Johnni Prince at jlpdmc@gmail.com or 541547-5195.

artsy A Gayle-force presentation The Coastal Arts Guild will welcome multi-talented Toledo artist Sarah Gayle as the guest speaker at its Thursday, Jan. 7, lunch meeting. Gayle’s varied background includes corporate executive roles, training and development of adult education programs and inspirational speaking as well as more traditionally creative roles, such as children’s book author, painter, designer, paper artist and costumer. Her love of art and creativity has lead her on a unique travel and personal education path, discovering the relationships between math and art, Fletcher Color Theory and in the process, falling in love with Vincent van Gogh. Through all her experiences, Gayle has looked for opportunities to be creative and to see the world differently. Her secrets are simple: nice matters, never lose your childish enthusiasm, and remember to play. Gayle’s presentation will focus on the challenges and

The Hoffman Center for the Arts is located at 594 Laneda Avenue. Gale’s oil painting classes were so popular this fall that she will continue them on Thursdays, starting Jan. 7, from 10 am to 1 pm. New students are welcome.

Stand up and beak counted
People looking to take stock at the start of 2016 can start with their own backyards this Saturday, Jan. 2, as the 116th Audubon Christmas Bird Count gets underway. Organizers are looking for volunteers to help count birds in the Yaquina Bay area from 7 am to 4 pm. Bird enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, even beginners, are encouraged to participate by counting the number of species and of individual birds they see from sunup to sundown. Considered the longest-running citizenscience survey in the world, the Christmas Bird Count provides critical data on population trends. “Tens of thousands of volunteers know that it is also a great way to meet new people, explore new habitat, learn more about our feathered friends or simply sharpen your birdwatching identification skills,” said organizer Dawn Harris. “Whether you want to be in the field or watch feeders from your window, your participation is welcome.” Sponsored by the Yaquina Birders and Naturalists, the Yaquina Bay count covers a 15mile diameter circle that extends from Yaquina Head southward to Seal Rock and eastward to Toledo. During last year’s count, 40 birdwatchers in the field and at backyard feeders recorded 152 species of birds. For more information or to sign up, contact Harris at oregoncoastbirding@ gmail.com.

Nest up: the results
The findings of the Yaquina Bay Christmas Bird Count will be revealed alongside a slideshow of wildlife photographs at a meeting of the MidCoast Watersheds Council on Thursday, Jan. 7. Wildlife artist and longtime count participant Ram Papish will give a talk on the numbers as well as the changes that have been observed throughout the years. For example, the annual counts have indicated that Anna’s hummingbirds have been increasing steadily from 1973 until now, while canvasback ducks have been declining during these 42 years. Papish, who describes himself as “a professional bird enthusiast” spent 20 years as a field biologist, working nationally and internationally. Now retired to concentrate on his art, he uses his knowledge to create realistic and beautiful wildlife images.
Ram Papish
In addition to prints and custom pieces, he has illustrated field guides and contributed work to many books and publications. He has designed and illustrated interpretive panels for agencies and programs and has also written two wildlife-related children’s books as well as nonwildlife-related mysteries. The meeting, which is free and open to all, will start at 6:30 pm in the Central Lincoln PUD building, located at 2129 N Coast Hwy., Newport, across from the Safeway complex. Refreshments will be served.
