Bellies — flat and otherwise

T

his week, Lincoln City sees the welcome return of Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys (see page 14 for details), a roots and bluegrass band whose previous visit led to something of a debate among the chattering classes. By chattering classes, I mean myself and Keith Altomare, host of Mid Day Live on Lincoln City’s KBCH 1400 AM. For those who haven’t tuned in, each Friday at 10:15 am, Keith is kind enough to have me on the show to talk about everything from the origins of banoee pie to the ďŹ ner points of British soccer. Every so often, we also touch on something that appears in that week’s edition of the Oregon Coast TODAY. And it was during one of these chats that Keith and I pondered just exactly what a “Flatbellyâ€? might be. As I recall, he thought it might be some kind of guitar or banjo, Patrick Alexander while I favored the theory that it was an unfortunateEditor looking ďŹ sh that one might ďŹ nd lurking in a Louisiana swamp. This week, in an example of the in-depth, investigative reporting for which the TODAY is rightly famous, I am happy to reveal the mystery of the atbelly. Turns out the band’s name has its origins in an early bluegrass festival appearance by Joshua Rilko, Lindsay Lou’s mandolin player — and husband. The host announced Rilko and his friends by saying: “We’ve just heard some great old-timers. Now we’re going to welcome some atbellies to the stage!â€? After that, the name just stuck. Perilous stu indeed from a long-term marketing point of view — much like naming yourself Lindsay Lou and the Full Head of Hair Band. “We realize the name may become ironical,â€? Rilko said. If the band members want to hurry that process along, they might want to come to the coast a few days early so they can attend the Chocolate Classics gala in Newport on Saturday night. Held at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the event features a waistline-expanding array of chocolate creations from some of the coast’s best chefs (see page 9 for the full story). What better way to experience true coastal hospitality than partaking in multiple rounds of desserts so as to cast an informed vote for the contest’s People’s Choice Award? After all, Lindsay Lou and the Potbellys has a nice ring to it‌

get out!

Photographers should aim high With a set of king tides heading for the Oregon Coast, photographers are being asked to keep their eyes open for images that illustrate the dramatic changes the area could experience as sea levels rise. The King Tides Photo Initiative is an international project that aims to document areas flooded during extreme high tides, like those that will hit the Oregon Coast from Thursday, Jan. 29, to Saturday, Jan. 31. The project is looking for photos that show just how high the waters get, so shots including stationary objects such as bridges, signposts and roads are the most effective. To submit your shot, note the time, date and

location as well as the photo orientation and share it on the project’s Flickr page at www.flickr.com/groups/ oregonkingtides. Check out our tide tables on page 19 for the best times to look for shots. A slide show of photos from the project will be the centerpiece of a King Tide Photo Party at Newport’s Rogue Brewery on Friday, Jan. 31. Starting at 5:30 pm, the party will also include free appetizers and a guest speaker; with food and beer available for purchase. For more information, go to http://www. coastalatlas.net/kingtides.

learn a little Gender’s game

A chance to join the pod

The Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society will be conducting a Naturalist Training Program this spring, offering participants the chance to learn about whales, dolphins and the ocean in which they live. The six-session program will include education about Oregon’s marine ecosystem, field identification and interpretation techniques. Topics will include marine mammals, sea birds and shore birds, tide pools and whale watch vessel etiquette. The program will begin on Saturday, Feb. 8, with a session at Newport Public Library from 10 am to 12:45 pm, followed by the regular monthly speaker series meeting from 1 to 3 pm. The second session, on Saturday, Feb. 22, will take place in the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room from 8 am to noon followed by a field trip. The third session will start with a session from 8 am to 3 pm on Saturday, March 1, in the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room, followed by the regular monthly speaker series meeting from 1 to 3 pm at the library. Session 4 will take place on either March 22 or 29,with students getting the chance to volunteer at Spring Whale Watch Week from 10 am to 1 pm. The fifth session will take place on April 5, from 8 am to 3 pm at the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room, followed by the regular monthly speaker series meeting from 1 to 3 pm at the library. The date and location for the final session are yet to be determined. Depending on how long it takes to cover the material, additional sessions might be required. Additional speaker series meetings and field trips will also be included. The program costs $30 including training materials and is limited to 12 participants. Non-ACS members will also be required to purchase a one-year student membership prior to the first class. No science background is needed — just a desire to learn and devote the time to attend class, field trips and do the homework. Graduates of the program will receive a certificate and will be able to volunteer to represent the society at whale watches, schools and other events. For more information or to register, contact Joy Primrose at 541-517-8754 or e-mail marine_lover4ever@yahoo.com.

Food for thought

The Tuesday, Jan. 28, session of the Oregon Coast Learning Institute will begin with a presentation on a man who, as father of the “Green Revolution,” is credited with saving more lives than anyone in history. It was on the research stations and farmers’ fields of Mexico that Dr. Norman Borlaug developed successive generations of wheat varieties with broad and stable disease resistance, broad adaptation to growing conditions across many degrees of latitude, and with

exceedingly high yield potential. These new wheat varieties and improved crop management practices transformed agricultural production in Mexico during the 1940s and ’50s and later in Asia and Latin America, sparking what today is known as the “Green Revolution,” preventing hunger, famine and misery around the world. Institute founding member Peter Lacques will tell Borlaug’s story in a presentation beginning at 10 am. Then, at 11 am, Elle Lacques will share the written correspondence

Dr. Norman Borlaug

between President John Adams and his wife, Abigail. These touching and romantic letters include the emotions and passions of the American people at the founding of a nation.

The Great Speaker Series at Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will continue on Saturday, Jan. 25, with a presentation from Jade Aguilar of Willamette University on how gender affects our daily lives and identities. “Mind the Gaps: How Gender Shapes Our Lives,” will look at the disparities that still prevail between the genders and what they can tell us about society’s values and priorities. Aguilar is an assistant professor of sociology and women’s and gender studies. Her broad areas of study are gender, sexuality and family; and her main area of focus is the study of intentional communities. The free conversation will take place at 1 pm at the museum, 2106 Second Street, Tillamook. For more information, call Jade Aguilar 503-842-4553 or go to www.tcpm.org. This Great Speaker Series program is hosted by the Pioneer Museum through its Daisy Fund and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Oregon Humanities is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust. For more information, go to oregonhumanities.org.

After lunch at 1 pm, a panel of professional librarians will give an account of how public libraries flourished in America and how their relevance has increased in the digital age. The panel will include Wyma Rogers, retired director of the Newport Public Library and Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney, director of the Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City. The Oregon Coast Learning Institute is a volunteer organization in Lincoln County made up of retired and semi-retired people who want to continue to stimulate their intellectual interests in an atmosphere of shared learning. The

group meets at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort in Gleneden Beach on Tuesdays for 12 weeks beginning Jan. 14, and ending April 1. There are usually two topics each Tuesday, one from 10 am to noon and one from 1 to 3 pm. A special lunch is available at Salishan’s Sunroom Café at noon, and there are other cafés nearby in Gleneden Beach and Taft. Membership dues are $50 per person for the 12-week winter semester and guests are always welcome to try one session for free. To view the full winter schedule, go to www.ocli.us or call 503-3923297 or 541-265-8023.

Story & photos by Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

The misty, green hills and thundering surf of the Oregon Coast are reminiscent of Ireland, but most of us would be especially hard-pressed to tell the difference between the central coast and the Emerald Isle after a pint of Guinness, a shepherd’s pie and a healthy dose of Irish hospitality at Nana’s Irish Pub in Newport’s Nye Beach neighborhood. Owners Philomena O’Brien, born in Ireland, and her daughter, Tara Coughlan, opened Nana’s six years ago, aiming to not only bring Irish cuisine and hospitality to the Oregon Coast, but also to create a community gathering place. “We wanted people to be able to come with their kids, with their grandparents, and have everybody have a good time,” Coughlan said. “People are so friendly in Ireland, they will invite you into their homes,” she added. “We wanted to recreate that feeling.” Coughlan grew up with a foot in both Irish and American culture, having spent some 10 years in Ireland as a child. The eponymous “Nana” is her grandmother, Philomena O’Brien’s mother, a fantastic cook who produced

elaborate and delicious meals for her six children every day. As one of the oldest children, O’Brien learned to cook at her mother’s side, which served as her culinary school. The menu at Nana’s leans heavily toward traditional Irish fare with a few American touches, all comfort food extraordinaire. Their top seller is the Bunratty Reuben sandwich, piled high with house-made corned beef and braised cabbage. Nana’s fish and chips, among the best I’ve had, is prepared in the Irish style, coated in crispy house-made beer batter and accompanied by thick-cut steak fries and their own coleslaw and tartar sauce. The shepherd’s pie, steak and Guinness pie, and chicken pot pie are worth the tiny extra wait — the meat is tender and delicious, the veggies are fresh, and the crusts are always flaky and perfectly browned. And there is nowhere else nearby where you can get some of the most traditional items on the menu, including bangers and mash (Irish sausages served over mashed potatoes with hearty gravy) and the Irish breakfast: breakfast sausage, rashers (thin sliced cured pork loin), black and white pudding (pork sausage), eggs, grilled mushroom, tomato, baked beans and steak cut fries. Be sure to leave room for dessert.

Nana’s co-owner Tara Coughlan

What could be better than bread pudding? Chocolate brandy bread pudding, topped with fresh whipped cream, is what. Nana’s has both the traditional and chocolate varieties, along with a couple of other excellent dessert choices. Irish specialties are also popular at the bar. It goes without saying that Guinness is available on tap, but their taps also include Smithwick’s Ale (I was taught by those who ought to know to pronounce it “Smiddick’s”), Harp, Strongbow cider and (it is Newport, after all) Rogue Brutal Bitter. Can’t decide? Try a layered brew like a Half and Half (Harp and Guinness). Coughlan says their new cocktail menu is very popular as well, particularly the Dark & Stormy (Kraken spiced rum, ginger beer and lime). If you need a warmer-upper, the Nutty Irishman is the greatest thing since Irish coffee: Carolans Irish Cream, hazelnut liqueur, coffee and fresh whipped cream. Nana’s has embraced the locavore movement, sourcing their beef from Eugene, for example. About two years ago, O’Brien purchased

and moved to a 10-acre farm in Logsden, where she now grows much of the produce used at the restaurant in the summer, including greens, herbs, and tomatoes. Her goal is to source as much of those items from the farm as possible, and supplement with other local produce as necessary. While every hour spent at Nana’s is a happy one, official Happy Hour is 3 to 6 pm, featuring $5 appetizers and $3.50 drinks. Happier yet, there is live music every Saturday and most Fridays, as well as a dart room and an outdoor patio. It’s not too soon to plan for St. Patrick’s Day, the restaurant’s biggest night of the year. This year they’ll host St. James Gate, a Portland-based band that specializes in a wide range of Irish music. Nana’s thrives in part

because they have met their goal of creating a friendly, fun, community-based environment. They cater to the locals as much as to the tourists, which is a good thing in the depths of January. “This is where the tourists can make friends with the locals,” Coughlan said, because this is where the locals hang out. This local is now craving a Nutty Irishman and some fish and chips. You can find me at Nana’s. Nana’s Irish Pub, located at 613 NW 3rd Street, Newport, is open seven days a week; from 11am to 11 pm Sunday to Thursday and 11 am to midnight Friday and Saturday. Kids (under 21) are welcome until 10 pm. For more information, call 541-574-8787 or go to www. nanasirishpub.com.

CHOCS AWAY! Prepare for a party where everyone gets their just desserts

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

T

hey might not be golden like Willie Wonka’s but tickets for this Saturday’s Chocolate Classics event are a sought-after commodity indeed as the celebration of the majestic cocoa bean returns for its 23rd year. The main fund-raiser for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program in Lincoln County, the gala event sees chefs from along the Oregon Coast whip up their most decadent desserts in pursuit of a top-three finish and a shot at the People’s Choice Award. Among the competitors is last year’s first-place winner Ray Degele, who together with his wife, Debi, owns Depoe Baykery in Lincoln Beach. This will be Ray’s ninth year competing in the Classics, having represented Salishan Lodge six times and his own bakery twice — racking up three first-place finishes along the way. “It’s all about the flavor combinations,” he said. “It’s about looking and giving different things a try — mixing up the traditional.” Last year, Ray did just that, taking home the top prize for his chocolate jalapeño mousse with bacon topping — the kind of creation Debi said comes naturally to her flavor fanatic husband. “I’ve been with him for 30 years and by this time that didn’t even phase me,” she said. “Of course, I love his chocolate mousse. I always have.” This year, Ray decided on the less outlandish choice of cream puffs — an idea that came to him while looking back through previous Classics entries and seeing Chef

If you go WHAT: Chocolate Classics WHERE: Oregon Coast Aquarium, 2820 SE Ferry Slip Rd, Newport WHEN: 7 pm, Saturday, Jan. 25 COST: $35 per person or $60 per couple in advance. $40 at the door CALL: 541-574-2684

Tickets are available from Newport Bay Candle Company, Newport High Cheerleaders or online at www.rsvpoflbl.org.

Garnett Black’s first-place winning creation from 2012 — a chocolate cherry milkshake. “Sometimes that comfort food with a little kick to it is just what people are looking for,” Ray said. In honor of this year’s Classics theme, “The Kentucky Derby: A Night at the Races,” Ray named his creation the Cream Puff Trifecta. Leading the field is a mint julep puff, closely followed by an orange cream puff, both on a base of dark chocolate ganache. Completing the trio is a puff filled with white chocolate mousse. As well as the thrill of coming up with new ideas and supporting a good cause, Ray said one of the main attractions of the event is the friendly competition shared with other chefs — including Black, now at the Adobe Lodge in Yachats. “He’ll be thinking he’ll be taking his title back from me but it’s not going to happen,” Ray said. But, even if Ray does repeat last year’s victory, he won’t be around to see it — the bakery schedule means he’ll be fast asleep when the winners are decided at Newport’s Oregon Coast Aquarium. Last year, he learned of his firstplace finish when Debi came home to find him asleep in the living room chair and waved the award in front of him.

“I figured that’s a good way to wake up,” she said. So, with a punishing schedule, a business to run and a cabinet full of first-place trophies, what keeps Ray coming back to the Classics each year? “Honest answer?” he said. “I want the People’s Choice. It’s the one thing that’s eluded me.” The Saturday, Jan. 25, event will begin at 7 pm, with guests encouraged to come in their finest derby hat for a chance at going home with a special prize. Advance tickets, priced at $35 per person or $60 per couple, are available from Newport Bay Candle Company, Newport High Cheerleaders or online at www. rsvpoflbl.org. Tickets are also available on the door for $40. Guests get to sample all the chocolate they can eat along with milk and coffee plus a no-host bar. There will also be a silent auction and live entertainment as well as a live auction for a beautiful piece of jewelry donated by Diamonds by the Sea. The task of choosing the winners will fall to judges Pati D’Eliseo, co-owner of A Posto Personal Chef Services; Gail Kimberling of Lincoln City Community Center; Kiera Morgan of Yaquina Bay

Are you sitting comfortably? Snuggle in to your seat as Tillamook presents “The Pajama Game” Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

W

hile jammies play a major role in the new offering from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts, the show on stage is anything but a sleepy affair. “The Pajama Game” is a fast-paced Broadway musical, packed with bright and brassy songs, dance routines and a love story that is positively… dreamy. Based on the novel “7½ Cents” by Richard Bissell, the play takes readers inside the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where sparks are flying over the workers’ demand for a seven-and-ahalf-cent pay raise. The show’s success on Broadway led to a big screen version in 1957, directed by George Abbott and starring Doris Day as union grievance officer “Babe” Williams and John Raitt in the role of factory boss, Sid Sorokin. Kelli McMellon, director of the Tillamook production, said it was the movie version of “The Pajama Game” that she fell in love with as a child. “I was a latchkey kid,” she said.

“So I would watch movies until my premises. parents came in.” But, buoyed by her previous “It’s always been one of my experience directing the show at favorites,” she added. “The music is Nestucca High School in Cloverdale, just so much fun.” McMellon was undaunted and set That score, by Richard Adler and about assembling a cast.

“We did weeks and weeks of nothing but music,” she said. Once the cast had mastered the songs, the next challenge was working out the logistics of getting 18 dancing actors on to a small stage — a chunk of which is taken up by the show’s piano accompanist. And, this Friday, audiences will get to see how it all comes together as the curtain rises on a show where a conflict between management and labor turns into a full-blown battle of the sexes. “I think it’s a fun, fun show,” McMellon said. “They’re going to leave laughing; they’re going to leave

singing the music; and this is a perfect way to pick themselves up after the Christmas break and be able to face the New Year.” And, while she will always be a fan of the movie version and Doris Day’s performance as Babe, McMellon said nothing quite compares to the experience of seeing a live show. “I think theater is an awesome opportunity for people to come together to create something that’s never been there before and will never be there again,” she said. “And if people want to share that with us, they need to get their tickets and come to the theater.”

in concert Performing with pluck

The Newport Symphony Orchestra’s 25th season will continue this weekend with two performances entitled “Sacred and Profane,” featuring music by Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann as well as several modern composers. Led by Maestro Adam Flatt, the orchestra will perform Debussy’s “Sacred and Profane Dances” for harp and strings, with Martha Griffith on the harp. The concert will then rise to a vigorous conclusion with Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 1, the “Spring” Symphony. “Schumann is the quintessential romantic composer, and the ‘Spring’ Symphony is as exhilarating and exciting a work as I know,” Flatt said. “We partner this beautiful symphony with two works that feature the harp —perhaps the most enchanting of all musical instruments — played by our own magnificent NSO harpist, Martha Griffith.” Griffith is an awardwinning harpist who studied music at the University of Oregon before going on to spend eight years at sea, traveling the world and performing music. Orchestra board member Michael Dalton said this weekend’s concerts will shine a light on Griffith’s talent. “The lineup of music is sure to delight audiences with the unique sounds of the harp,” he said, “a mesmerizing blend of Martha Griffith sweetness and magic.” The concert will open with works by three modern composers, chief among them “Tree Line” an abstract piece by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu. One of Japan’s most important composers, Takemitsu is among the few to have his music performed in the western world. The concerts, sponsored by Columbia Bank, will take place at 7:30 pm on Saturday, Jan. 25, and 2 pm on Sunday, Jan 26, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street. Tickets, priced from $34 to $20, or $10 for students, can be purchased at the box office, by phone at 541-265-ARTS, or online at NewportSymphony.org. The orchestra’s 25th season will conclude on the weekend of March 29 and 30, with a concert of music by Johann Strauss and Richard Strauss.

• Students can also get a deal on tickets for the orchestra’s matinée concerts through the “Let’s Both Go to the NSO” program, which allows students to invite a parent or grandparent to attend with them free of charge. Tickets can be used to attend either Sunday, Jan. 26, at 2 pm or Sunday, March 30, at 2 pm. For more information, go to www.newportsymphony.org or call the symphony office at 541574-0614. “Let’s Both Go” is made possible by a grant from US Bank.

Get the real skinny on

BLUEGRASS

Music fans looking for roots music with distinct vocals, tight harmonies, instrumental expertise and creative arrangements can get a bellyful at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, Jan. 30, when Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys return to the coast. The five-piece band will be playing their unique “LouGrass” sound, based on bluegrass traditions but frequently dipping into swing jazz and popular song craft. At the heart of the band is the relationship between lead singer Lindsay Lou and her husband and mandolin player Joshua Rilko, which began during their college days and continues to grow with

every gig as the couple harmonize on stage. Like any family, Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys are more than the sum of their parts. They’re an all-American, front-porch pickin’ party, with each song shining with the polish of handmade homemade acoustic roots music. On “Wonderful You Are,” bass player Spencer Cain shines in a duet with Lou’s Billie-Holidaylike vocals, and dobro player Mark Lavengood brings the fire on “Lemon Squeezy.” Keith Billick’s banjo playing not only offers the driving bluegrass sound, but also brings a level of sophistication to the less traditional numbers,

like the instrumental track “Barbarossa.” Lou’s songs are fully crafted stories, often based on real-life experiences, with lovely hooks and choruses and a breadth of theme that pushes each band member to work outside the bluegrass box. For more information, go to www.lindsayloumusic.com. The Jan. 30 gig will begin at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 on the door and are available by calling 541-994-9994. Children 12 and under get in free. For more information, go to www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Bringin’ on the rock for the Bay Rock violinist Aaron Meyer will perform in Lincoln City on Friday, Jan. 31, as part of the Rock On!!! fund-raiser for the Siletz Bay Music Festival. A classically trained violinist since the age of 5, Meyer debuted with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the age of 11 and has soloed with major international symphony orchestras and ballet companies in addition to performing for many world leaders and dignitaries. He plays regularly at corporate and private events including the American Lung Cancer Association, Salud Pinot Noir Charity auction, Doernbecher Hospital fundraiser and many more. “It isn’t unusual to find Aaron donating

his time on a day off to play at a charity auction or for a local school function,” said festival executive director Sue ParksHilden, adding: “Aaron performs cuttingedge original music and arrangements with virtuosity and passion. He brings his fresh and invigorating instrumental style to the stage and genuinely connects with audiences of all ages.” Meyer will perform with Tim Ellis, a professional guitarist, award-winning composer, music producer and owner of Kung Fu Bakery Recording. The concert will begin at 6:30 pm in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $75 each and include heavy

Jetties of consciousness J

etties fascinate me. They teach me poetry and physics, life and death. They represent solidity and evanescence, ambition and ignorance. They are black and jagged, gray and serrated. They whip up a kind of slippery, spraying, salty ocean margarita I love imbibing. If anything can be said to be rock and roll in nature, an oxymoron of course, jetties are it. In recent months, I had the occasion to spend significant time on three imposing jetties on the Oregon Coast: Siuslaw River in Florence, Yaquina Bay in Newport and the mightiest of them all, the Columbia River in Hammond. When I investigate these jetties, my mind and body begin racing and I often compose lines in my head or just listen to the uniquely thrilling sound of waves pounding unceasingly against the rocks. Or, sometimes, I simply watch the massive energy of these places pound and recoil and I shoot photographs with my camera or eyes. What follows is a stream of consciousness inspired by jetties. I doubt it will be contained, meaning the jetty society often demands of us (particularly in high schools) will have failed its ultimate purpose. I sure hope so. • The decade of the 1890s was the golden stone age of jetty construction on the Oregon Coast by the US Army Corps of Engineers. They built one-way, one-time railroads into the ocean near the entrances of multiple coastal rivers or bays, transported huge boulders on flat cars, dumped the boulders overboard, raised the walls, and then ripped up the rails and left trestles behind. Within a generation, these jetties reshaped the coastline. I don’t know if that was a good thing.

• The term jetty originated from the French word jetée, “thrown” and that about sums it up. Speaking of the French, when Napoleon invaded Egypt, his troops scrawled graffiti inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. That pyramid, built in roughly 2500 BC, will outlast every jetty built on the Oregon Coast. • Jetties were meant to fix a wild river or unruly bay permanently in place, make them safer, more defined, useable, practical, pacific. Sadly, most Americans have never seen a real river with a miles-long floodplain and shifting braided channels. They’ve all been diked, dredged and commanded to conform for commodification. If you want to see what a real river looks like, go to Alaska. Until I did, I had no idea. • I can think of three scenes I wish I could have witnessed from American history: 1) Benjamin Franklin flirting at a party; 2) Emily Dickinson writing a poem in her room; 3) The Columbia River as Lewis and Clark saw it in the rain. • In 1975, a band called Dr. Feelgood released an album titled “Down by the Jetty.” Incredibly, it does not include a song about a jetty. In 2011, a band called Panda Bear released a song called “Last Night at the Jetty.” Incredibly, it does not include the word “jetty.” • Has any Oregon band written a dirge about Bayocean, the ill-conceived beachfront resort community that slid into the sea after the construction of a jetty near the entrance to Tillamook Bay hastened erosion on the spit? I have heard that a semi-major Oregon writer is working on a novel about the last resident there. Naturally, the book will follow the trend toward dystopian storytelling in our culture. Can anyone ever again write a utopian novel in America? Actually, someone is and his name is Bill Hall, a Lincoln County commissioner. The book is titled “McCallandia” and its premise is what would have happened if former Oregon Governor Tom McCall had been elected president instead of Ronald Reagan. That’s a utopian American vision for sure! • I find it interesting that whenever I climb atop a jetty, Sonny the husky howls in protest. She won’t stop until I get down. Maybe it’s like those dogs who can detect cancer in their owners earlier, cheaper and more accurately than conventional ($$$) medical testing. • Jetties have created some of the state’s best surfing spots. Not too long ago, I encountered several surfers braving the ocean at the south jetty on the Columbia River. How they weren’t hurled against the boulders and bashed to smithereens, I couldn’t fathom. I watched for 30 minutes and nothing bad happened, although no one rode a wave either.

• Due to their intimate proximity to Newport, the Yaquina Bay’s jetties are the most communal on the Oregon Coast. My friend Dan fishes on the south jetty and regales me with tales of meeting some very strange people around midnight. He often wonders why with a mile or so of jetty to choose from, a vehicle has to park right next to him when no one else is around. He doesn’t like that. He doesn’t want to talk to anyone at the jetty, and I don’t either. • The jetties of Yaquina Bay are also deadly. In November 2010, waves swept a married couple off the south jetty, pretty much in plain public view. They had traveled from Portland to Newport to celebrate their 15th anniversary and stayed at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. Apparently, they had pedaled their bicycles across the Yaquina Bay Bridge, out to the south jetty, parked their bicycles, and walked to the end, their end. I passed them on the bridge that day. I remember thinking it was a beautiful day for a ride. An eyewitness told a reporter, “We must have had about seven monster waves in a row, and then they (the couple) were gone. Another eyewitness said the last he saw of the couple, the man, “had his arms wrapped around the light stanchion…and she was crouching among the rocks behind him…” The Coast Guard recovered her body that day. His remains washed up near Yachats two weeks later. • Last summer, on a sunny afternoon, I snoozed in the dunes near the north jetty of Yaquina Bay. There wasn’t an ominous cloud in the sky and hardly a breeze ruffled the sand. Still, the bar looked treacherous and I didn’t see a boat on the water. Whitecap waves broke across the boulders of both jetties. Out of nowhere, materialized a young Russian couple dressed in traditional Old Believer garb. It felt almost like a honeymoon outing. They walked silently past me to the north jetty, weaved through the security gate, and strolled hand-inhand across the rocks. They took lovesick pictures on their phones. I thought about running after them, offer a warning, but I didn’t and don’t know why. I watched them the entire time until they returned, leapt off the path, and disappeared into the dunes. That one monster wave didn’t come. It did come, exactly 10 minutes later, exactly where they once stood. I would have seen it all. • One last thought: please, Sea Gods of the Universe, never let a jetty form in my mind or heart…or writing! I’d rather die and reincarnate as a hunk of riprap protecting a trophy mansion.

coast culture Two venues

A perfect pincer movement

Some parties are just to big for one venue, so when the Yachats Lions Club Annual Crab Feed oers its guests as much crab as they can eat, it’s not surprising that the event takes over the town. “The annual trek to Yachats to eat Dungeness crab is a tradition for families and groups from across Oregon and Washington,â€? said crab feed organizer Debra Novgrod. The Saturday, Jan. 25, crab feed will see volunteers serving up crab dinners to more than 500 people at two venues — the Yachats Commons and the Yachats Lions Hall. “We get great support from the community and local businesses in Yachats, Waldport and Newport. South Beach Fish Market cooks and cleans the best tasting local crab you ever ate.â€? Novgrod said. “In addition to all the crab you can eat (until the food is gone) the menu includes: coleslaw, French bread, baked beans, coee, soda and great fun!â€? The Commons is oering a ďŹ rst seating at 12:30 pm for folks who want to eat early; as well as a 4 pm seating, which is reserved for groups of six or more. Meanwhile, the Lions Hall seating starts at 4 pm, oering ďŹ rst-come-ďŹ rst-serve, cafeteriastyle dining. “Some folks like the Lions Hall best as they get a chance to meet new people,â€? Novgrod said. The Commons is located at the intersection of Highway 101 and 4th Street. The Lions

potpourri A show worth checking out

The Riverbend Players will return to Lincoln City this weekend for a dinner theater show that manages to ďŹ nd the funny side of the dating game gone spectacularly wrong. “Check Pleaseâ€? by Jonathan Rand explores what happens when people who should not occupy the same planet are forced into the intimacy of a blind date. Directed by Brian McMahon and Michael Dinan, the show features a couple that makes a beautiful cosmic connection, not surprising, since they are ďŹ rst cousins. Then there’s the online best friend who turns up in person but still communicates exclusively in capital letters — OMG! Then there is Dan the Movie Trailer Guy, who speaks exactly the way you are afraid he would. How about Dr. Donna, whose multiple personalities each have their own extensive cell phonebooks? And we mustn’t forget Cleo the psychic. Palms? My dear, anyone can read palms. Cleo reads feet. The Riverbend Players, based at the North County Recreation District in Nehalem, were last in Lincoln City with their murder mystery, “The Curse of the Hopeless Diamondâ€? in September. The cast of this play is larger, and includes Sedona Torres, Linda Olsson, Mike Scott, Candace Nelson, Dick Huneke, Marilyn Karr, Mike Sims, Judy Holmes, Ted Weissbach and Janet Robinson. The show, which features a dinner catered by Nelscott CafĂŠ, will be performed on Friday, Jan. 24, and Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. The menu includes vegetarian spinach and cheese lasagna, tossed salad and desert, plus water, soda or coee Wine and beer will be sold separately. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Doors at the center open at 6 pm. Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm and the show will begin at 7 pm. For tickets, drop by the center or call 541-994-9994.

Some flutterly beautiful hikes As the Oregon Coast continues to bask in the sunshine oered by a little summer in the midst of winter, the temptation to hit the trails is high. But before you lace up the hiking boots, spare a thought for creatures that might need a little peace and quiet. Perhaps chief among these is the Silverspot buttery, which dwells in limited coastal grasslands, including the slopes of Cascade Head just north of Lincoln City. In order to protect the buttery pupae, as well as sensitive habitat in general, the US Forest Service has imposed its annual seasonal closure within the Cascade Head ScenicResearch Area. The closure runs from Jan. 1 through July 15 each year, covering all Forest Service land south of Neskowin, west of Highway 101, and north of the Tillamook/Lincoln County line — including Hart’s Cove Trail. “We also want people to know that the trail near the community of Neskowin, which was constructed and is being maintained illegally, is within the seasonal closure area,â€? said J.W. Cleveland, trails manager for the Hebo Ranger District. Trails that remain open year-round

within the Cascade Head ScenicResearch Area include the Cascade Head Trail and the south half of the Nature Conservancy Trail. The Cascade Head Trail begins at Three Rocks Road and traverses north 3.7 miles through a forest of large Sitka spruce, Western hemlock, Douglas ďŹ r and Red alder. Once on Forest Service Road #1861, hikers must continue east for one mile out to Highway 101, or return back to the Trailhead at Three Rocks Road. This closure neither authorizes

nor prohibits the use of the Nature Conservancy Trail portions located on private land. “We encourage people to visit other trails within the Hebo Ranger District this time of year,â€? Cleveland said. “Drift Creek Falls, the Pioneer Indian Trail and Niagara Falls Trail all oer great hiking opportunities, especially this time of year when winter rains increase their water volume.â€? For more information, call the Hebo Ranger District at 503-392-5100 or go to www.fs.usda.gov/siuslaw.

BIG SHOES If you have a secret yearning to see yourself portrayed on the big screen by comedian Kristen Wiig, this Sunday at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library just might be your big chance. That’s because the library’s Oregon Legacy Series is welcoming author Monica Drake, whose debut novel “Clown Girlâ€? has been optioned for a movie by the Saturday Night Live star. The novel is set in Baloneytown, a place so poor that residents resort to using drugs, balloon animals and even rubber chickens as currency. The darkly comic tale tells the story of a woman trying to make it as a performance artist in the face of corporate exploitation and hate crimes against clowns involving meringue pies full of scrap iron. In addition to interest from Wiig, the novel has won an Eric Hoer Award as well as an IPPY. Drake graduated with an MFA from the University of Arizona and teaches at the PaciďŹ c Northwest College of Art. Her most recent novel is “The Stud Book.â€? The Sunday, Jan. 26, event will take place at 3 pm in the library, located on the second Monica Drake oor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. All Oregon Legacy presentations are free thanks to support from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library and the D’Sands Condominium Motel, which provides free lodging for each of the writers. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@lincolncity.org.

Quit lounging — start writing The Oregon Coast oers many of the essential ingredients for great writing — awesome natural beauty; plenty of brain-stimulating negative ions; and, perhaps most importantly, the opportunity for solitude. But sometimes, the words need a little help getting on to the page. So The Homan Center in Manzanita is opening a drop-in Writing Lounge for folks who want to get a little feedback on their work; re-energize their

writing; or simply set aside a little time each week for their craft. The lounge will be open Wednesday mornings, from 10 am to 12:30 pm, beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 29. It will oer resources including books on writing; games and tools; and access to local writing mentors. The brainchild of new Homan Center board members, Marcia Silver and Tela Skinner, the lounge is open to anyone interested in

writing. â€œWhether you’re a seasoned author interested in participating in the writing community or someone who just wants to get some memories down on paper, you’ll ďŹ nd a welcoming environment,â€? Silver said. â€œThere’s no commitment necessary,â€? said Skinner, “drop in as often, or infrequently, as you like.â€? For more information, contact Skinner at mactela@ nehalemtel.net.
