This week’s top five

TILLAMOOK — Rain is a big part of life here on the Oregon Coast. Rain feeds our crystal clear rivers, nourishes our lush forests and enlivens our artistic souls. And, after a month or so straight, rain can get a little old. And nowhere is the torrential downpour felt more than in Tillamook County, the aptly named “Land of Many Waters.” So it is with great pleasure that we present the top 10 list of indoor activities as chosen by Tillamook locals and compiled by the experts at Visit Tillamook Coast. See page 10

NEWPORT — But if your heart is absolutely set on entertainment that involves an umbrella, the Newport Performing Arts Center can rise to the occasion, with the ﬁnal three performances of hit Broadway musical “Mary Poppins” taking place

this weekend. Spoonfuls of sugar are welcome but please be sure to leave any dodgy Cockney accents at the door. See page 14

LINCOLN CITY — Also coming to a close this weekend is Theatre West’s production of “Seasonal Allergies.” This comes as no surprise — the doctor did tell us they would clear up over time. Catch the ﬁnal two performances of this heartwarming family comedy this Friday and Saturday. See page 15

TIDEWATER — Normally, this top-ﬁve list likes to poke gentle fun at the things we recommend. Jaunty, smart-aleck remarks are

from the editor really our stock-in-trade here at TODAY Towers. That all falls apart when confronted by the noble visage of a white wolf, like those seen at Lois Tullener’s sanctuary in Tidewater. “Go ahead, feeble human;” the wolf seems to say, “crack your joke and be on your way.” Find out how TODAY contributor Gretchen Ammerman dealt with the awe-inspiring pack in this week’s feature. See page 16

NEWPORT — The arts community will remember Toledo metal sculptor Sam Briseño this Saturday, with a special art workshop based on his iconic Newport work, “The Ambassador” followed by a silent auction featuring pieces from members of the Toledo Arts Guild. See pages 8 & 11

A burning issue The impacts of ocean acidification will be the topic for a Thursday, Jan. 28, forum at Newport’s Hatfield Marine Science Center. The panel discussion, co-hosted by the Union of Concerned Scientists, will also look at potential solutions that coastal communities can put in place to tackle the problem. State Rep. David Gomberg will co-host the event alongside Hatfield director Dr. Bob Cowen. Panelists will include Dr. George Waldbusser, assistant professor at OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean

and Atmospheric Sciences; Alan Barton of Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery; Dr. Francis Chan, senior researcher at OSU’s College of Science; and Emily Heffling of the Union of Concerned Scientists. The free, family-friendly forum will run from 5 to 7 pm at 2030 SE Marine Science Drive, starting with light refreshments and a chance to meet the panelists. Registration is appreciated but not required. For more information or to register, contact Emily Heffling at eheffling@ucsusa.org or 510-809-1584.

It’s what he does Author and academic Adam Davis will explore how what we do helps shape our identities in a talk at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum on Saturday, Jan. 23. In a presentation entitled “What Do You Do?” Davis will lead a discussion on how our work tells a lot about who we are, how work shapes us, and the marks that work leaves in our lives. Davis, who serves as executive director of Oregon Humanities, has edited books including “Hearing the Call across Traditions” and “Taking Action” and has also led workshops on the meaning of work. His presentation, which is free and open to the public, will start at 1 pm at 2106 Second Street. For more information, call 503842-4553 or go to www. tcpm.com.

The event is part of the Conversation Project from Oregon Humanities, which aims to engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about the ideas critical to their daily lives and the state’s future. This program is sponsored by Oregon Humanities and the pioneer museum’s Daisy Fund.

ALL RISE!

The Honorable Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. will preside over the Tuesday, Feb. 26, session of the Oregon Coast Learning Institute, thanks to an expert portrayal from Newport attorney Bill Barton, who will bring the iconic Supreme Court justice to life. Barton promises to portray the character and spirit of the late Justice as he poses the question, “Do Judges Create the Law or Interpret It?” Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was the son of the famous writer and physician Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., author of “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” (1858) and the poem “Old Ironsides” (1830). In 1861, during his senior year at Harvard, Holmes Jr. enlisted and served in the Massachusetts infantry during the Civil War. He saw action in numerous battles and was wounded three times, twice severely. At the end of this life Holmes summarized his military service with a simple note pinned to two blue uniforms in his closet, on which he had written: “These uniforms were worn by me in the Civil War and the stains upon them are my blood.” After the war Holmes studied law at Harvard, was admitted to the bar in 1866 and practiced law for 14 years. In 1881, Holmes published “The Common Law” in which he said that the primary source of law is a judicial decision, and that the true basis for judicial decisions are drawn from outside the law. Holmes became a law professor at Harvard in the fall of 1882, and shortly thereafter was appointed to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court where he served for 20 years and wrote more than 1,200 opinions, the last three as chief justice. In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt nominated him to the U.S. Supreme Court, where he served until 1932. He wrote more Supreme Court opinions than any other justice in history, 875 majority decisions, 30 concurring and 75 dissents. His distinctive personality, writing style and dissents made him an iconic American ﬁgure, known as “The Great

Bill Barton as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Dissenter.” One of his most famous dissents is Abrams v. U.S. in 1919, which ultimately went on to become the bedrock of American free speech protections. Holmes, who retired from the court at the age of 90, was the ﬁrst U.S. judge to receive the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Barton’s portrayal of Holmes will begin at 1 pm. The day’s oﬀerings will start at 10 am with a program entitled “Bayocean: The Town that Fell into the Sea,” in which Brent Burford will review the history and the demise of the Tillamook County

oceanfront community and ask: “could this happen again?” At 11 am, retired educator Mary Kimball will present “Setting the Record Straight: High School in 2016,” with the help of students from Cloverdale’s Nestucca High School. The institute meets at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, eight miles south of Lincoln City. Registration for the 12-session winter semester is $50 per person but visitors are always welcome to try one session for free. For more information, go to www.ocli. us or call 503-392-3297 or 541-2658023.

Be patient: it’s worth waiting for The history of nursing will be the main attraction at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Tillamook County Historical Society, taking place on Sunday, Jan 24, at the Bay City Arts Center. Guests will hear a presentation from Melodie Chenevert, owner of the Lost Art of Nursing museum in Cannon Beach, which chronicles the history of the profession from the Civil War onward, through novels, music, toys, artwork, clothing, posters and more. “There was a time when nursing was celebrated in song and verse,” she said. “When world-famous artists were commissioned to capture nurses on canvas. When magazine covers, advertisements, poems, and sheet music immortalized nurses. When books, dolls and toys made every little girl dream of being a nurse when she grew up. There was a time when it was bold, noble and patriotic to be a nurse. That time has come again!” The meeting will run from 1 to 3 pm at the center, located at 5680 A Street. Admission is $15, which includes a soup, bread and salad lunch catered by Rachel Phaksuwan, formerly of the Schooner Restaurant. Guests should RSVP to Sally Rissel at 503-781-4102.

THE WOMAN OF YOUR DREAMS?

Whether you have a recurring dream, like a three-eyed raven or a dwarf dancing backwards, or just “normal” dreams — like playing hopscotch with the pope or trying to drive a car made of jelly — Lisa Holland wants to hear from you. Holland, who recently completed ﬁve years of Jungian training at the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich, Switzerland, will put her knowledge to work at a Saturday, Feb. 6, class in Newport. Entitled “Untapped treasures: What are your dreams telling you?” Holland’s class will aim to help attendees understand symbols from their dreams that could help improve their quality of life. “Theorists estimate that over 80 percent of our energy is expended beneath or outside our conscious awareness — in other words, in our unconscious,” Holland said. “Dreams are messages from our unconscious to our consciousness with an invitation for an exchange.” Holland said the class will introduce students to Jungian dream theory and show them how to access untapped resources, receive concrete tools to help remember dreams, discover how to keep

The place to bee During winter on the Oregon Coast, with the rain pouring and the wind blowing, you could be forgiven for not having bees at the forefront of your thoughts. But the humble honeybee and its fellow insect pollinators are a crucial part of the ecosystem that puts food on the table, as the Lincoln County Master Gardeners will show at their Thursday, Jan. 28, round table discussion.

Beekeepers Nancy McDowell and Anne Schatz will lead a discussion on how insect pollinators function and describe creative ways to provide habitat and forage for them. “There seems to be much information in the media about the plight of pollinators, both native and managed,” Schatz said. “We’ll talk about the many things we can do locally to support our pollinators

an eﬀective dream journal and explore basic skills to help engage with the symbols in dreams. A psychotherapist for more than 20 years, Holland has more recently worked as a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice specializing in imagination, embodiment and trauma. She has presented at numerous conferences and workshops in the United States and abroad and is currently working on a book on assertion, self-agency and the symbol of the spine. A former resident of Yachats, she has lived in Europe for the past decade, including Spain, Switzerland and Italy. “Untapped treasures” will run from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, Feb. 6, at Newport’s new Center for Health Education. The class fee is $75. To register, contact Ursula Marinelli at umarinelli@msn. com or 541270-6413, no later than Friday, Feb. 5.

and how to attract even more.” While flitting from plant to plant in search of food, insects such as bees, flies, wasps and butterflies as well as some birds and mammals complete a vital reproductive link between male and female flowers, creating conditions in which fruits, vegetables, nuts and even forests can thrive. The round table discussion will run from 10 am to noon at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. The event is free, but guests should RSVP by calling 541-574-6534 to reserve seating

and ensure that enough printed handouts are available. • The next round table is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 11, and will cover the best and easiest vegetables to grow in a coastal climate. Meanwhile, anyone with gardening questions can stop by the Master Gardener Help Desk at the OSU Extension oﬃce, 1211 SE Bay Blvd., Newport, a quarter mile east of the Embarcadero.

A LIFE’S WORK

“The Ambassador” at Newport’s Don Davis Park

nce upon a time, Deanne Dunlap was a single woman living in the San Francisco Bay area looking for a little romance, but not getting too far. One day, she asked her friend, a noted psychic, how she felt about Deanne dating through online matchmaking services. The psychic told it was ﬁne, but also unnecessary. “You have someone coming for you from the North,” her friend told her. “You won’t have to do anything. You will be both be in the same place at the same time.” Then, her friend asked if Deanne had considered moving her personal training business to a new location and might Hawaii be in the picture? No, Deanne told her. She had no connections in Hawaii. “Hmmm,” the psychic said. “I see you by the water. You have your sleeves rolled up and your attitude is very welcoming.” Deanne had no idea at the time that she had family right here in Newport. ••• Life might have gone on just as it had — Deanne operating her wildly successful 4,000-square-foot training studio — but for that horriﬁc day of Sept. 11, 2001. Afterwards, the economy tanked, and Deanne felt it right along with everyone else. And so, in mid 2002, Deanne, now aware of her family here on the Oregon Coast, decided to pay them a visit. And shortly after, took them up on an invitation to move here. She’d been keeping her eyes open for that stranger from the north, even asking new acquaintances where they hailed from. “They’d say something like ‘Georgia,’” Deanne recalled. “And I’d say, ‘Oh, you’re not the one.’” Then came a day in the fall of 2002 when Deanne met with a landlord who had a house for rent. The

landlord asked if she’d consider sharing the house with a roommate since, with a bedroom and bath on each side and a kitchen in the middle, it would work well for two. But as it turned out, the woman the landlord had in mind wasn’t interested in a roommate. So the landlord asked Deanne if she’d considered sharing it with a male. Deanne told her, ‘Depends on the man. I’d like to meet him.’ And that was how Deanne met artist Sam Briseño, recently relocated from Seattle to the Oregon Coast. They moved into the house they would share on Nov. 1, 2002. Six weeks later, the man who came from the north told Deanne he loved her. They were together all the years since — until Nov 1, 2015 when Sam died, 13 years to the day their relationship began. But that is not where this story ends. Sam’s work lives on, of course. And odds are, you’ve seen it. There’s “The Ambassador,” towering over Newport’s Don Davis Park, wings spread wide in welcome. There’s the octopus at the Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center and “Carnival,” the bench commissioned by the late Sharon Branstiter and family for Oregon’s Park and Ride in Toledo. The list goes on and on, weathervanes, sculptures, gates, fences, arbors. “Sam was a self-taught artist,” Deanne said. “Some look on that scornfully. But I have never seen anyone as accomplished, as complete, who is self-taught. Trained and certiﬁed to be a welder and millwright, he couldn’t resist the urge to create art from pieces of scrap metal. Art, however, is rarely just art. It comes with its own story. And those are uniquely Deanne’s to share. On June 5, what would have been Sam’s 65th

birthday, she will host a celebration of his life and present “Art in Public Places by Sam Briseño,” a coffee table book of pictures of Sam’s art and the stories behind them. But you don’t have to wait ’til June to honor Sam’s work and life. On Saturday, Jan. 23, the Toledo Arts Guild will host a silent auction starting at 4 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center to benefit the Gallery Briseño. Up for bid will be art donated by guild members. There will also be a raffle for one very special piece of Sam’s work — the couple’s personal candelabra. “It’s made of steel, stands 18 inches tall and holds five candles,” Deanne said. “It means to me … that time in your relationship when you have a lot of candles. It means to me our romance.” For more information about the fundraiser, go to: http://toledoartsguild.com/ Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

Long may it rain

on the cover

Tillamook locals give their top 10 picks for when it’s pouring People from the Paciﬁc Northwest, and certainly from the Tillamook Coast, never let a little rain keep them from enjoying the outdoors. After all, that’s why Gortex was invented. However, there are winter days when being indoors is just as much fun — and a lot drier. Here’s what the locals do when the heavens open.

The Tillamook Cheese Factory, complete with replica of the Morning Star schooner

1. Explore naval air history Naval Air Station Tillamook played a major role in US defense during World War II. Blimps were built here, and the one remaining blimp hangar how houses vintage airplanes and World War II memorabilia. The building itself is a treasure; it’s the largest freestanding wooden building in the US. You can’t miss it — big AIR MUSEUM letters guide you there, just south of the city of Tillamook. www.tillamookair.com

2. Step back in time While some of the county’s historic centers are closed in winter, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is open year-round, Tuesday through Sunday, with revolving and permanent displays. Guest speaker programs, art shows and special events happen every month. For details, go to www.tcpm.org.

The Aero-Spacelines Mini Guppy stands sentinel outside the Tillamook Air Museum

neskowinchambermusic.org) and Sitka Arts Center (www.sitkacenter.org).

8. Say aahh for a spa day There’s nothing like working the winter blues out of your body with a massage and a soak. Spa Manzanita is just the place to get pampered. The Inn at Cape Kiwanda oﬀers spa services too, with an ocean view and all the comforts of a cozy room.

3. Visit a classic movie theater Tillamook’s Coliseum Theatre was restored to its 1940s glory last year, but with very modern digital film equipment and sound system. It shows first-run films plus the occasional classic film fest. So put down your three-inch smartphone and go see movies as they are meant to be seen: on a big screen with your fellow film buffs. Check the schedule at www. tillamookcoliseum.com.

4. Go beer and wine tasting The brewery scene is heating up in Tillamook County. The Pelican Pub has two outposts: the original pub and restaurant in Paciﬁc City and the newer taproom in Tillamook. De Garde Brewing is stationed at the Port of Tillamook, and in just two years has gained an international following for its “wild fermentation” brewing. But way before these beer brothers came on the scene, Nehalem Bay Winery, tucked between the towns of Wheeler and Nehalem, was ﬁlling the glasses of locals in the know. Once known for fruit

Tea for two at La Tea Da in Tillamook

wines, which have come a long way from their sweet origins, the winery now bottles Oregon pinot noir, pinot gris and other favorites.

5. Taste 70 miles of clam chowder Ask 10 locals what their favorite chowder house is on the Tillamook Coast, and they’ll give you 10 different answers. However, the hardworking folks at Visit Tillamook Coast have boiled the choices down to five favorites: Buttercup Ice Creams & Chowders in Nehalem, Old Oregon Smokehouse in Rockaway Beach, Park Side Coffee House in Garibaldi, Downie’s Cafe in Bay City and Pelican Pub in Pacific City.

6. Smile and say cheese If you haven’t been to the Tillamook Cheese Factory in recent years, go now before the

summer crowds arrive. Tillamook has not only unveiled several new cheddar cheeses, but also many new ice cream ﬂavors. You can try them all at the factory. Just down the street is the Blue Heron Cheese Company, where you can taste lots of other types of cheeses, plus mustards, jams, dressings and sauces. Both are fun and mouthwatering pastimes, so go and go often.

Instead of grabbing a burger, put on your most extravagant hat and sit yourself down at a proper high tea. La Tea Da in Tillamook is the antidote to a rainy day. Select from an array of small sandwiches, soups and teas, and feel what is was like to live at Downton Abbey.

Reach out and help The Toledo Arts Guild is offering people the chance to honor Toledo sculptor Sam Briseño with their paintbrushes and their pocketbooks in a two-part benefit on Saturday, Jan. 23. Briseño, who died suddenly in November, is well known for his iconic metal pieces, including the octopus at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, the benches throughout Toledo and especially the tall Ambassador statue at Newport’s Don Davis Park. The benefit will start with a painting workshop from 10 am to 4 pm, followed by a silent auction from 4 to 6 pm, both at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. Multi-media artist Sarah Gayle will lead the painting workshop, showing

students how to achieve various effects with watercolors and water-based inks on Arches watercolor paper. Workshop participants will be encouraged to explore color and a free-form style for the background. Additional effects will be achieved with salts, iridescent paints, ragging and more. No experience is necessary. Lunch will be served and, at noon, weather permitting, students will walk two blocks to Don Davis Park for a viewing of the Ambassador. After the background has dried and effects are visible, students will add the silhouette of the Ambassador to their background painting. The design will be easily transferable, with no freehand drawing required. Each piece will be ready to hang

at the end of the workshop, allowing each participant to leave with a wallready work of art, a lasting memory and new appreciation for the artistry of Sam Briseño. The class costs $75 plus a $20 materials fee, with the price including lunch and wine. For more information about the class, go to toledoartsguild. com. To sign up, call 541-270-9697 or email toledoartsguild@gmail.com. The second part of the benefit, running from 4 to 6 pm, will feature a silent auction packed with artwork donated by local artists and businesses. There will also be a raffle for a Briseño five-candle candelabra. Tickets will be $5 each or six for $25. Proceeds from the benefit will go toward helping Briseño’s longtime partner, Deanne Dunlap, operate the Gallery Briseño on Main Street in Toledo. All are welcome. Anyone wishing to donate can contact the guild at toledoartsguild@gmail.com.

Make room for “Rumors,” in Tillamook While New York politicians disappearing without trace might seem like a great idea in the midst of primary season, it is the case of great concern on stage in Tillamook, where the Neil Simon farce “Rumors” opens this weekend. Presented by the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts, the rollercoaster comedy opens in an upscale New York townhouse at a 10th wedding anniversary party for the deputy mayor of New York and his wife. The only problem — the deputy mayor and his wife are nowhere to be found. As guests continue to arrive, the story spins, situations get out of control and laughs abound. Director Kelli McMellon has assembled a cast of theatre veterans as well as several actors making their stage debut. Playing Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, the wellto-do lawyers who are ﬁrst on the scene, are Christian Chiola and Anita O’Hagan. Lenny and Claire Ganz, who arrive after a car accident, are played by newcomer Joey Hake and TAPA veteran Margaret Page. Dave Mattison is in the role of

Ernie Cusack, a psychiatrist, and is partnered by newcomer Sandra Neumiller playing Ernie’s wife, Cookie. Reallife couple Micah and Briar Smith play State Senator Glenn Cooper and his wife, Cassie, who is convinced he is cheating on her. Rounding out the cast are Gerry Cortimilia playing Oﬃcer Welch and Suzannah Floyd playing Oﬃce Pudney. The show’s run begins on Friday, Jan. 22, with an Opening Night Gala, where each ticket includes complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a beverage of choice. The run continues through Saturday, Feb. 6, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées on Sunday, Jan. 24 and 31. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy Street, at the corner of 12th Street and Ivy Ave, and adjacent to Les Schwab Tires. Tickets, $15 apiece, are on sale now at Diamond Art Jewelers, 307 Main Street in Tillamook, 503-842-7940. Viewer discretion is advised due to adult language.

Last chance before it folds This weekend is the last chance for theatergoers to catch the sweetest show on the Oregon Coast — and the only one that comes with a complimentary spoonful of sugar — “Mary Poppins.” Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic ﬁlm, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s musical delighted Broadway audiences for more than 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven TONY Awards. Brought to Newport by Coastal Act Productions and directed by Jody Hanna, this practically perfect show is entering its ﬁnal weekend at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The show opens with jack-of-all trades Bert

introducing the audience to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family how to value each other again. The all-ages cast pairs young performers with adult actors, with Braylon Belloni and Morgan Hanna as Jane and Michael Banks and Brian Hanna and Karen Backman playing their parents, George and Winifred. Mary, artfully portrayed by Melissa MacDonald, takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t

the only ones she has a profound eﬀect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who has always said: “Anything can happen if you let it.” The show includes the songs audiences know and love such as “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Step in Time” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite.” The run concludes with a 7 pm performance on Friday, Jan. 22, and performances at 2 pm and 7 pm on Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $12.50 for adults or $10.50 for students and seniors are available by calling 541-265-2787 or online at www.coastarts.org and are subject to box oﬃce fees.

NOW THAT’S A SUPER PACK Cast a vote for conservation, with a visit to Tidewater’s White Wolf Sanctuary Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

I’ve conducted interviews in the rain, on a train, even while in pain. But when interviewing Lois Tulleners at her 50-acre White Wolf Sanctuary, my attempts to maintain an air of professionalism came to a screeching halt when the wolves started to howl. “Why?” I squeaked out, awed by the sound of 12 wolves howling at once. “It could be anything,” Lois answered, “Because you’re new, a deer’s nearby, or a hawk, or they just felt like it. I rarely know why they start, but still love the sound and the way they all start and quit together; it’s like they have a conductor.” I was just glad I had my voice recorder on; it is truly a stirring sound for someone who lives where wolves no longer roam. Lois found her life’s purpose by accident, when a boyfriend who is now long gone expressed the desire to get a few wolves. “I told him ‘I don’t think so,’” she said, “But he brought two home anyway. That’s how I got interested in the breed. When they passed away I worked in a zoo and later at other sanctuaries.” Then, 25 years ago, she purchased the Tidewater property that now houses Artic wolves, and occasionally other subspecies like tundra and timber wolves. “The wolves here were all born in captive situations.” Lois said, meaning small cages, or in many cases, at the end of a chain. “Once they come here they’re here to stay.” As I drove up the winding road to the sanctuary, I have to admit to some trepidation about seeing wolves in conﬁnement, but once I entered the grounds that fear was dispelled. “It’s hard for us to get good photos because the fences make people think the wolves are in cages,” Lois said. “When I worked at the zoo and other sanctuaries it always hurt me that the wild animals couldn’t run so when I built this place, it was extremely important to me that they would have lots of room. We’re also set up so that we can move them around a lot. In zoos they call it enrichment; we just call it moving the wolves. Even as big as their space here is, the wolves use it all.” The large spaces also let the wolves express

their true nature. “They still hunt little varmints like moles,” Lois said. As the tour progressed, I found myself unable to tell which buildings were for humans and which for wolves. “We call this the wolf church,” Lois said to describe a particularly comely cabin. “When I ﬁrst bought this property there was nothing on it but grass and that little cabin which was in bad shape. Some wonderful gentlemen from the golf course in Waldport volunteered to help me restore it, and their wives brought the stained glass window, a star of David and a Buddha, so we call it the wolf church. Although they aren’t all this fancy, all the enclosures have houses in them to keep the wolves out of the rain.” At ﬁrst staring warily, a few of the wolves

warmed up to me enough to let me approach the fence. “They’re usually shy,” Lois said. “They’re liking you though.” Liking me meant I got a few kisses through the fence, but as much as I wanted to feel special, it’s not that rare an occurrence. “We had a little boy here once and one of the wolves was kissing him,” Lois said. “He turned to his mom and said, ‘Mom, I just got my ﬁrst French kiss,’ and the mom said, ‘I’m so glad it was from a wolf.’” But although some of the wolves at the sanctuary love getting scratched or giving kisses, Lois stresses that they are not pets. “We always keep in mind that these are wild animals, and we don’t breed, sell, rent, trade or lease them,” she said. “This is a true sanctuary. But

we know them all, and they know their names.” Current residents include Goliath, who is 11, and his girlfriend Hope, who is 16 and is blind and partially deaf. “In the wild, Arctic [wolves] usually live four or ﬁve years, in the lower 48, timber wolves usually make it to six or seven” Lois said. “Most of the ones I’ve lost here have been 15. I’m amazed Hope has made it to 16. She kind of bosses Goliath around a bit, but we should all have a man like him; he is so good to her. When we move them, Goliath always brings her favorite blanket to the new enclosure.” Oregon has removed wolves from the endangered list, which has invigorated Lois in her mission. “Education is such a big part of what we do,” she said. “Wolves are being shot and poisoned by people who just don’t realize how important they are to our environment. Yellowstone is a perfect example of why we need wolves; before they reintroduced them everything in the park was out of balance. The reintroduction is restoring it; even the rivers are aﬀected. We only have about 88 wolves in Oregon and we need to do what we can to protect them.” To visit the wolves, reservations are required and can be made by calling 541-528-3588. Visits costs $50 for adults and $15 for kids under 16. For more information, go to www.whitewolfsanctuary.com

Don’t miss a beat Whatever you throw your heart into this year, make sure it’s in good shape first, with a little help from Samaritan Heath Services. In recognition of American Heart Month, Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute is offering free heart health screenings in Newport and Lincoln City. The Newport screenings will take place on Saturday, Jan. 30, at the new Center for Health Education at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. On Saturday, Feb. 20, screenings will be offered at the Health Professions Education Center in Lincoln City’s Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. In both cases, screenings

will run from 8 am to noon. Screenings take about 30 minutes and include a full lipid panel with total cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checks. Copies of test results will be provided so participants can follow up with their primary care provider. Eight hours of fasting is required for accurate test results, and no food or beverages other than water should be consumed after midnight the night before the test. Hearthealthy refreshments will be provided at each screening for people to enjoy after their tests are complete. Registration is required. To schedule an appointment, call 1-855543-2780.

Exercise your options Knowing that exercise is important for heart health is one thing, knowing what type of exercise, how much and how often is something else entirely. Kenneth Nelson, a physician at the Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute, will aim to answer these questions and more in a free heart health seminar set for Thursday, Feb. 11, in Newport. The seminar will run from 6 to 7:30 pm at the new Center for Health Education. Registration is required. Go to samhealth.org/BeHealthy or call 1-855-873-0647.

Spring: loaded with art Each year, the incoming class of spring resident artists at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology brings a fresh crop of talent to the Oregon Coast, with this year’s arrivals including a conceptual artist, a writer and an entomologist. All three will be available to chat with guests at the Wednesday, Jan. 27, Show and Tell, starting at 6 pm at the center, just north of Lincoln City. The incoming residents will present a brief description of their work and share how they plan to use their time at Sitka. Tucked in the forest near Cascade Head, the Sitka Center provides visual artists, writers, musicians and natural scientists a haven from the distractions of daily life, giving them the solitude they need to push through creative boundaries and chase their own artistic pursuits. This year’s arrivals include writer Maxim Loskutoﬀ from western Montana, whose past work has been featured in many literary magazines such as Narrative. He received a Global

She lives in western Colorado, the setting for her third book “Desert Water,” which won The Writer/Rosebud’s New Discovery poetry contest.

A deeply funny man Writers looking to strike comedy gold can get a little help from author Bob Balmer when he brings his “Mining Your Life for Laughs” workshop to Manzanita on Saturday, Feb. 6. Students will explore humorous writings and then discuss what made them laugh: from exaggeration to characterization, from one-liners to irony and many other techniques. Balmer will focus special attention on how the authors used events from their lives for humorous material. The workshop will run from 10 am to Bob Balmer 2:30 at the Hoﬀman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Tuition is $50. Students can register at http://hoﬀmanblog.org by following links for “Programs” and “Register for Workshops.”

A collection of essays to read prior to the workshop is available online at http:// discoveringlaughter. weebly.com. Balmer has an MFA in creative writing from Portland State University and attended the Iowa Summer Writing Workshop and the Tin House Summer Writing Workshop at Reed College. His ﬁrst humorous essay was published in the Oregonian in 1992. His work has also appeared in The Smithsonian, The Seattle Times, The Seattle Weekly, Golf Illustrated and many other publications as well as on radio and TV. For more information, go to hoﬀmanblog. org or email Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@ gmail.com.

A literary Triumph Anyone who has ever loved, lost or lusted after a Harley or Triumph motorbike will ﬁnd something to enjoy in a pair of upcoming performances of stories by Newport author and former bike gang member Johnny Bargain. Bargain’s memoir, “A Collection of Bummer Summers,” oﬀers up a selection of true tales from his 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 readings, presented by Dancing Moon Press, will begin at 2 pm on Sunday, Jan. 24, at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street,

THE RETURN OF

THE SING(ER)

Newport Symphony Orchestra will bring Romance to the heart of winter when it welcomes mezzo-soprano Erica Brookhyser back to the coast for a pair of concerts on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30 and 31. Brookhyser, born and raised in Newport, rose to operatic fame when she won the title role of “Carmen” in an international talent-search television program that aired in Germany and France. In 2010, she was appointed principal mezzo soloist at the Staatstheater Darmstadt. Her blossoming career has also seen her sing important roles with the Los Angeles Opera, the LA Master Chorale and the Boston Lyric Opera. After graduating from Newport High School, earning music degrees from the University of Oregon and the New England Conservatory, she spent the ﬁnal two years of her training at the LA Opera’s prestigious Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program under Placido Domingo. Brookhyser’s Newport concerts will give Oregon opera fans a rare chance to see this homegrown, international singing sensation in action. Conducted by the NSO’s music director, Adam Flatt, the program will feature orchestral music by Schubert and Charles Ives, Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 and songs by the Romantic master Gustav Mahler. The Saturday, Jan. 30, concert will begin at 7:30 pm, with an optional pre-concert talk from Flatt at 6:45 pm. The Sunday matinée will feature informal discussion by Flatt throughout the concert, beginning at 2 pm. Both performances take place at
