A SOGGY REVOLUTION T

he ongoing occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge has captivated Oregonians of all stripes as well as viewers across the nation. Our sympathies are with the people of Harney County, who have shown great dignity in the face of such an intrusion.

Here’s how I like to think the takeover would have panned out if Ammon Bundy and his motley crew had tried that nonsense at the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge just south of Lincoln City.

Day one: The “militia” rolls up at the coast in a convoy of vehicles, decked out with camouflage paintjobs and banners reading “Revolution Or Bust.” The initial excitement comes to an abrupt halt when a search of the

area reveals that there are no federal buildings within the refuge — not even a bird watching blind. Undaunted, the group decides to occupy the dentist office at Siletz Keys instead.

Day two: Unaccustomed to have to cook their own meals, the group’s members realize they only brought enough food for one night. A red-faced Bundy appears at the dentist office entrance and issues a desperate plea for snacks. Ever-welcoming hosts, the people of the Oregon Coast respond by delivering chowder but, in a deliberate attempt to dissuade the visitors from staying too long, they make it a watery batch with altogether too much potato and no bacon at all.

from the editor

Day three: The group holds its first press conference on the steps of the dentist office, with leaders hoping to lay out their demands in front of a sea of TV cameras. Unfortunately, the event is disrupted after only a few minutes by an angry mob of coastal retirees, furious that their root canal work has been cancelled.

Day four: The group’s plans to set up a Citizens’ Grand Jury to investigate federal officials are cut short when the last of the winter’s king tides inundates the refuge, flooding the “militia” bus and sending the “Revolution Or Bust” banner out to sea. Disheartened, wet and hungry, the “militia” takes a leaf out of the Snowbirds’ book and heads south, back to Arizona.

INK-COMING!

If you are a sucker for a good story, the Manzanita Writers’ Series has some welcome news — the North Coast Squid will be accepting submissions as of March 1.

Now in its fifth edition, the journal for North Oregon Coast writing, has categories for fiction, nonfiction (including memoir), and poetry as well as a special category for young writers.

Submissions will be accepted from March 1 through May 31, with the journal scheduled for publication in October. All submissions are selected in a blind judging by authors and poets from outside the coastal area. Submissions of art and photos will also be solicited for cover art and inside art.

This year’s poetry judge is Judith Barrington, the award-winning author of four poetry collections, two poetry chapbooks, a prizewinning memoir and a text on writing literary memoir. Her latest collection, “The Conversation,” resulted from one poem winning the Gregory O’Donoghue International Poetry Competition in 2013.

This year’s nonfiction judge, Brian Benson, is the author of “Going Somewhere: A Bicycle Journey Across America.”

Benson teaches writing at the Attic in Portland and is currently working on The River Signal, an original radio story written on a paddlewheel riverboat as it floats the Mississippi.

With the Squid accepting submissions through May 31, there is plenty of time for budding writers to take advantage of a range of upcoming writing workshops at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. Go to http://hoffmanblog. org and follow links for “Programs” and “Register for Workshops.” The center also hosts a Writing Lounge every Tuesday from 10:30 am to 1 pm for a drop-in fee of $5, where writers can get feedback from fellow wordsmiths.

Fiction entries will be judged by Cari Luna, whose debut novel, “The Revolution of Every Day,” was named a Top 10 Northwest Book of 2013

by The Oregonian. Luna is a graduate of the MFA fiction program at Brooklyn College, and her writing has appeared in Salon, Jacobin, PANK, Avery Anthology,

failbetter, Novembre Magazine and elsewhere.

The Squid’s Young Writer category accepts submissions in fiction, nonfiction and poetry for young writers under age 18.

The three best submissions, regardless of category, are selected by the editors of Tattoo Magazine, a national award-winning high school literary and art publication based in Shoreline, Washington.

WRITER WRITER

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

TO

I

n September, a high profile web site published an editorial by a Portland writer with the headline, “Don’t Move to Portland; It’s the Worst.” Toward the end of the piece, the writer included a paragraph about the Oregon Coast to bolster her opinion. The sub headline over the paragraph read: “There’s No Beach Culture.”

She wrote: Although Oregon is a left-coast state, the cities near the ocean are pretty much dead. The majority of residents along Oregon’s coast are retirees, which means finding a job outside of a nursing home is incredibly hard. To make matters worse, the Pacific Northwest waters are far too cold to swim in. You will never see a tan, bleach-blonde surfer riding the waves in Oregon, because they would freeze their asses off. Beach bums who want to swim must wear wetsuits year round.

Writer, you absolutely nailed it. I’ve resided on the Oregon Coast for 18 years and have never read such an accurate account delineating the frustrations of living here. It does suck! There is nothing to do! Everyone is old!

There are no interesting characters here! Mold is everywhere. Blanched surfers in wet suits are totally unsexy. Bands cover Tom Petty and Guns N’ Roses non-stop. It rains 70 inches a year! People wear a lot of corduroy without irony. You can’t drink decent local beer. The sea lions stink. The taverns and bars can’t compare to anything Seattle

or San Francisco might offer. In fact, many of the coastal dives offer only neon pickled grotesqueries for sustenance and fish tacos in hard shells!

Clearly, Writer, you get it. Your description of depressed coastal living should be heralded again and again across the Internet to deter anyone considering moving here. I only wish I had read similar disparaging words back in 1997 when I first moved to the Oregon Coast on a lark to reinvent myself. Now I’m stuck here writing books no one reads, hanging out with my old dog, reading 100 books a year, meeting all these Bob Seger/Ken Kesey/Bigfoot types in the taverns and learning nothing from their stories, building driftwood forts, teaching all these rich and privileged coastal teenagers, and rallying more old people like myself to uselessly celebrate the 50th anniversary of Oregon’s famous Beach Bill on Friday, July 7, 2017.

But wait Writer! Let’s turn this piece a different, less mocking direction.

After I wrote the above words, I decided to check you out, because well, there is nothing better to do on the Oregon Coast in winter and I am a curious, boring person.

I found you on Facebook and you consented to be interviewed by me.

(I’ve edited our banter for brevity and clarity.)

(How often do you visit the Oregon Coast and what’s your favorite beach?)

6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 29, 2016

I try to go at least one a month. My favorite spot is Oswald West State Park because of the pleasant hike in and feeling of seclusion. During the summers, it can get quite crowded, so I prefer the winters.

(What’s your impression of our beaches (outside of what you wrote in the article)?)

The article was meant to be tonguein-cheek and I meant no disrespect when I said the Oregon Coast was “dead.” In reality, I love Oregon beaches because they are clean, lush, and not littered with McMansions like in other places. If you love cold, foggy, mysterious beaches, then you’ll love the Oregon Coast. The pace of life is a lot slower than Portland, but that can be a very good thing.

Let me start off by saying that it was not my idea to write the article. My editor requested a piece to dissuade people from moving to Portland and I obliged.

I wrote back: It’s funny how your responses almost totally belie what you wrote in the article. That’s why I reached out to

you. I have no idea what I’m going to do with this piece now in light of your love for the beaches and experience with them.

She wrote back: I contradict the article (in my responses), but you probably know that as a writer, we’re expected to be convincing when given an assignment.

I wrote back: I think we go about writing a bit differently, particularly if it’s a subject we truly care about. Thanks for responding. I will let you know if I do anything with the responses.

And this is what I did with them, in part, to encourage other writers out there to never sell out something you love with your words. That’s the ultimate betrayal of a subject and talent.

Brewing up a storm Winter has the crew at Rusty Truck Brewing in their element Story & photos

by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

The crew at Lincoln City’s Rusty Truck Brewing Co. are not shy when it comes to experimenting with unusual ingredients, crafting beers infused with everything from chocolate and cherries to cranberries and even espresso.

But brewmaster Jonathan Anderson said the brewery’s most precious ingredient comes straight from the tap — the crystal clear, Ph-neutral water that flows into the city’s pipes from Schooner Creek.

“It’s brilliant water to work with in a craft brewery,” he said. “It’s a clean slate for me to create whatever I want.”

And Anderson has been letting his imagination run riot with recent additions to the brewery’s seasonal offerings, served up daily from Wednesday through Sunday at the brewery’s sister business, Roadhouse 101.

Current seasonal offerings include the Saison de Noel, a Belgian farmhouse-style beer brewed with 125 pounds of cranberries and seasonal spices.

“It tastes like Christmas,” said Roadhouse Manager Branden Fowler.

For people who want something with a little more pep, Anderson has a new Espresso Stout, made with three and a half gallons of espresso in every 310-gallon batch — with the coffee

Brewmaster Jonathan Anderson shoveling mash for the Rusty Truck’s new Double IPA

Brewmaster Jonathan Anderson and Manager Branden Fowler

brewed just down the road at Pacific Grind Café.

“It takes them four hours to make that much espresso,” Anderson said, adding that he mixes an extra two and a half pounds of ground espresso into the wort for good measure.

Also among the current seasonals is a Three Hop IPA, made using Amarillo, Mosaic and Citra hops for a complex

taste that combines flavors of citrus, stone fruit and lime peel.

Brews currently in development include a Double IPA that weighs in at a hefty 9.7 percent ABV, which should hit the taps in mid February, and a hoppy, light-bodied Cascadian Dark Lager that will finish fermentation around the end of March.

Until then, there should

be plenty of an old favorite to keep drinkers happy, with Anderson having brewed an extra-large batch of the Cherry Chocoholic Baltic Porter, one of the Rusty Truck’s most decorated beers.

Fowler said the distinctive brew will be leading the Rusty Truck charge at February’s KLCC Brewfest in Eugene, where it has been a winner for three years in a row.

Success at brewfests across Oregon and regular writeups in publications like Beer Growler Magazine have led to increased demand for Rusty Truck beers, prompting owner Brian Whitehead to push ahead with an expansion from a 10-barrel to a 20-barrel system.

Anderson said the new system will allow the brewery to produce some 1,500 barrels this year.

8 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 29, 2016

That should put smiles on the faces of diners at Roadhouse 101, where each menu item is paired with one or more beers that best complement its flavors — porter or red ale for prime rib and steak, blond ale or session IPA for seafood, and IPA or pale ale with the Roadhouse’s famous barbecue.

Dishes like barbecue chicken, brisket and St. Louis style ribs enjoy year-round popularity at the Roadhouse, each served up with the irresistible Sugar Shack Sauce.

Lighter options from the kitchen include fettuccine, pasta primavera and a cioppino made to an old Fowler family recipe using seafood sourced from Ocean Beauty of Astoria and Newport.

And nowhere is the union between the brewery and

restaurant more evident than in the Classic Fish & Chips, fried in a beer batter made with Rusty Truck IPA, or the spent grain focaccia bread that accompanies the steamer clams appetizer.

Meanwhile, a “Little Truckers” menu packed with favorites like chicken strips and macaroni and cheese caters to little people with big appetites in a dining room that prides itself on a family-friendly vibe.

“We get a lot of large groups traveling together,” Fowler said. “We could have a 15-top of people with seven of them being kids — enjoying the beach, the storms and all of the stuff that we have to offer in the winter.”

And, even in the depths of the cold season, the Roadhouse still heats up on the weekend, with live music every Saturday night.

“We have blues, rock n’ roll, reggae folk, a little bit of everything,” Fowler said. “We bartend, host the party, get everyone on the dance floor and encourage people to let their hair down. We want to be the premier nightspot in Lincoln City.”

Rusty Truck Brewing Company and its sister restaurant and bar, Roadhouse 101, are at 4649 S.W. Hwy. 101. For more information, including a list of upcoming events, go to rustytruckbrewing.com, roadhouse101.com or call 541994-7729.

THE SPICE is RIGHT LINCOLN CITY’S JAMBALAYA COOK-OFF IS ONE HOT TICKET

A

nyone who says Oregon Coast cuisine is all clam chowder and grilled salmon will have to eat their words this Saturday, Jan. 30, when the Jambalaya Cook-Off returns to Lincoln City for an eighth year of spicy surprises.

The Mardi Gras-themed event will see professional chefs from around the Pacific Northwest serving up their take on the classic New Orleans comfort food in a bid to take home top honors from a panel of judges as well as the voting public.

Professional judges will determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place while guests at the event get to vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice Award.

And jambalaya is the perfect dish for culinary experimentation, with varieties featuring any combination of chicken, fish or sausage alongside rice and vegetables including onions, tomatoes, peppers and celery. Guests will also be able to sample King Cake, the distinctive purple, gold and green sweetbread that is served throughout New Orleans’ Carnival season, and learn how this decadent dessert came to be. In addition to King Cake, there will be a variety of local treats available for purchase from vendors including Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop, My Petite Sweet and Barnacle Bill’s Seafood Market.

Guests can also get in on the fun with Mardi Gras hat-making, beads, and live Cajun music.

The celebration will run from 11 am to 2 pm at the Culinary Center in Lincoln City, located on the 4th floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex and boasting a panoramic view of the ocean.

Attendance to the event is free and samples are available for 75 cents each. Portion sized servings of jambalaya can also be purchased for $3 and $5.

For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau at 800-4522151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org/jambalayacook-off.

A JUMBLED HISTORY Of all the dishes in all the cookbooks in all the world, few have a name that has prompted so many theories as jambalaya.

A fusion of French and Spanish cuisine that emerged from the cultural melting pot of New Orleans, jambalaya is famous for its flexible list of ingredients, which can stretch to include almost any kind of meat or seafood added to a rice and vegetable base.

The range of explanations

for the meal’s name is equally broad, with some claiming it is a mixture of the Spanish words for ham and paella (a similar dish from Valencia), while others claim the name is a combination of the French word for ham and a word of nonspecific West African origin for rice.

Perhaps the most colorful explanation, however, would have us believe that the name came into being when a traveler stopped at a New Orleans inn looking for a meal late at night when there was little left from dinner but scraps.

the innkeeper instructed her husband to “sweep something together” with the words “Jean! Balayez.” And thus was jambalaya born. Now, we like a bit of wordplay here at the TODAY, but that seems like a bit of a stretch even for us.

None of these tales are enough to persuade the good folks at the Oxford English Dictionary — sticklers for such things as facts and sources. They say the dish gets its title from the Provençal language spoken in southern France and the word “Jambalaia,” meaning simply “mish mash.”

GET CRABBY as the Lions’ annual crab feed returns to Yachats

Crab lovers will converge on Yachats this Saturday, Jan. 30, for the Annual Crab Feed, which will see volunteers from the Yachats Lions Club serving up more than 1,500 pounds of fresh Dungeness at two venues.

Diners opting for the Yachats Commons can chose between an early seating at 12:30 pm or a 4 pm seating reserved for groups of six or more.

Meanwhile, the Yachats Lions Hall will open at 4 pm, offering cafeteria-style seating on a firstcome-first-served basis, giving diners the chance to meet new people as they wield their crab hammer.

For $35 per person, diners get to eat as much crab as they like — until it’s all gone — along with coleslaw, French bread, baked beans, coffee and soda.

“We get great support from the community and local businesses in Yachats, Waldport and Newport,” said crab feed coordinator Debra Novgrod.

“South Beach Fish Market cooks and cleans the best tasting local crab you ever ate.”

The Yachats Commons is located at 441 Hwy. 101 N., while the Lions Hall is one

Robert Burns Supper brings Scots celebration to Newport

block west of the highway on 4th Street.

For tickets, call Kevin or Peggy at 541-563-5629 or e-mail lionscrabfeed2015@ gmail.com indicating the time and venue. Tickets are also available from Judith’s Kitchen Tools in Yachats.

All proceeds from the event

go to support Lions community service projects with scholarships to graduating seniors, food pantries, the pre-school and after-school programs of the Yachats Youth and Family Activities program, South Lincoln Resources programs and eyeglasses for children and adults.

Newport will raise a glass or two this weekend to the poet considered by many to be the pre-eminent Scotsman of all time: ahead of kings, warriors and even William Wallace of “Braveheart” fame — Robert Burns, or Rabbie to his friends.

The 5th annual Robert Burns Supper, on Saturday, Jan. 30, at Newport’s Shilo Inn, will celebrate Burns through poetry, song and an array of fine Scottish food and drink.

Hosted by the Newportbased Celtic Heritage Alliance, the evening will pay tribute to Burns’ work, prized as a monumental step toward saving the Scottish culture after the Jacobite Rebellion, at a time when even wearing of kilts and family tartans was banned.

The guest of honor; the mighty haggis, will make its entrance on its fine silver platter, led by a piper. The host

Robert Burns (Rabbie to his friends)

will then recite Burns’ famous “Ode to a Haggis,” bathe the sausage in a fine single malt Scotch, slice it open with a ceremonial dirk and serve it to awaiting partygoers.

This traditional Scottish delicacy is just one of the many dishes on offer in a feast that includes Scotch Eggs, garden salad, “cock-aleekie” soup, stuffed chicken breast, seasonal vegetables and “neeps and tatties” (turnips and potatoes); all followed by a delectable Drambuie trifle, shortbread and truffles for dessert.

Between courses, whisky connoisseurs will enjoy

five exceptional tastings of Scotland’s finest single malt Scotches; with each year’s selection different from the last.

Emboldened by this amber dew, the male guests will then offer a “Toast to the Lassies,” where they lampoon the shortcomings of the fairer sex. This is usually met with great hilarity from the crowd and a witty “Reply from the Lassies.”

Guests will also be invited to share selected readings from Burns’ poetry such as “A Red, Red Rose,” and “Ode to a Mouse.” The evening will conclude with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.”

The supper will run from 6 to 10 pm in the ballroom of the inn at 536 SW Elizabeth Street.

Advance tickets are $70 for the supper including whisky tasting or $45 for the supper alone, with proceeds benefiting of the Celtic Heritage Alliance.

Only 100 tickets are available. Any left over will be available at the door for $90 and $55 respectively.

For more information, or to buy tickets, call 541-9617696 or go to http://ncfhg. com/burns.php.

coast culture

are made of this. Chocolate classics returns to Newport Story & photos

by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

By the end of January, most Oregon Coast residents will have seen enough rainy weather to drive them firmly into the loving embrace of rich, dark chocolate.

And on Saturday, Jan. 30, chefs and bakers from Lincoln City to Yachats will converge on Newport to serve up their most endorphin-packed delicacies at Chocolate Classics.

Now in its 25th year, the fund-raiser gala gives guests the chance to sample as much chocolate as they want and to vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice Awards.

In honor of the event’s 25th anniversary, organizers have selected a theme of “A Black and Silver Celebration,” — which entrants Jack Strong and Brad Grabill of Chinook Winds Casino Resort have embraced wholeheartedly.

The pair will show up at the Jan. 30 event serving “Silver and Spice and Everything Nice,” a warm chocolate truffle covered entirely in edible silver.

The treat will also be available in a gluten-free version made

with quinoa flour, which adds a slightly nutty taste while also tying in with the resort’s focus on using ancient grains of the type commonly found in traditional Native American cuisine.

This will be Grabill’s fourth appearance at Chocolate Classics, having taken second place at last year’s event with his chocolate chipotle semifreddo popsicle.

“We called it the Peace Bar,” said Strong, recalling the peace sign-emblazoned delicacy, designed to fit right in with the ’70s “Peace, Love & Chocolate” theme.

“I had to tie dye white chocolate, which was a learning experience,” Grabill said, “The other part was I had to spend a lot of time in the freezer.”

“It went down to minus 10 degrees,” he added. “ I could only be in their for eight minutes at a time.”

But, potential for frostbite aside, Grabill said Chocolate Classics is one of the highlights of his year.

“I love being able to interact with a lot of the other bakers and pastry chefs on the coast — and interacting with the guests at the event; they are always a lot of fun,” he said. “Everyone is in a great mood and looking for

WHAT: Chocolate Classics

something a little bit special; and that’s what we try to deliver.”

In those years that Strong is able to commit the resort to taking part in the contest, he and Grabill start putting their heads together early in January but will often make changes right up to the last minute.

Grabill, who has been a baker

COST: $35 per person; $60 per couple

for 20 years and at the resort for 10, often creates desserts from scratch for the resort’s buffet, which serves between 20,000 and 25,000 meals a month, giving him plenty of opportunities to experiment.

The buffet’s Sunday brunch is the best time to catch one of Grabill’s handmade

16 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 29, 2016

masterpieces, with recent offerings including a selection of gluten-free cupcakes including favorites like red velvet and chocolate as well as seasonal specialties like pumpkin cake.

Grabill said high-quality ingredients are a huge help in crafting the perfect dessert but that the most important ingredient is inspiration.

“The most important part is something to make people think,” he said. “That’s where the chipotle [for last year’s popsicle] came in.

I like to catch someone off guard with something like that.”

Like many culinary contests, Chocolate Classics tasks entrants with winning over both a panel of expert judges and also the general public, who cast their votes for the People’s Choice Award.

Strong said that while the judges will be purely focused on the dish itself and attributes such as technique, taste and presentation — event guests can be influenced by their overall experience at the booth.

So, he said, the resort always tries to make their offering as interactive as possible — like the year they rolled into town with a gourmet s’more.

“We started with a

homemade lavender marshmallow and blowtorched it in front of people,” he said.

Competition at this year’s event will be as stiff as ever, with fellow entrants including Ray Degele of Depoe Baykery and Ken Krenzler, head of food service at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital as well as an entry from the Alder Bistro and Dispensary Lounge in Yachats.

And this year will see contestants gather at a new venue, the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center at 333 SE Bay Boulevard on the Newport Bayfront. Doors will open at 5 pm and guests are encouraged to carpool to make the most of limited parking spots. Lincoln County Transit is also providing a free shuttle from the parking lot at Yaquina View Elementary School, 351 SE Harney Street.

Tickets, $35 per person or $60 per couple, are available online at http://rsvpofLbL.org/ events/chocolate-classics/ or by calling 541-924-8440.

Proceeds will go toward Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Lincoln County to support local senior programs and senior volunteers.

THE BEST OF THE BUNCH(ES)

The Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society will continue its world-class music offerings on Saturday, Feb. 6, when it brings viola and piano duo Kenji and Monica Ohuchi Bunch to Depoe Bay. The duo, who received rave reviews from society members for their 2014 performance in The Thunder Egg Consort with Anthea Kreston and Jason Duckles of the Amelia Piano Trio, will perform in the ocean-view home of Dick and Laurel Young at Little Whale Cove.

Composer and violist Kenji Bunch, a native of Oregon, has received worldwide acclaim from audiences, performers and critics alike for his unique brand of “New American” music, which reflects his classical background and elements of Asian and American culture.

He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music at the Juilliard School and won the school’s highest honor — the William Schuman Prize for Outstanding Leadership in Music. His symphonic works have been performed by more than 50 American orchestras, and his chamber works have been heard in major venues on six continents.

Bunch is a multi-faceted musician who is a frequent guest performer, recording artist and arranger with prominent rock, jazz, folk and experimental artists.

Pianist Monica Ohuchi Bunch made her orchestral debut at age 10 with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra playing Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto. She is

The Feb. 6 concert will begin at 3 pm, with tickets $25 apiece. For reservations and directions, contact Mickey Boersma at 541765-2474 or mboersma@ centurylink.net, or Laurel Young at 541-765-7770 or laureljyoung@gmail.com.

Today, she is an active and extolled international soloist, chamber musician and piano educator who has performed to audiences in prestigious concert halls across the

• The society will also host a benefit concert and auction on April 2, featuring renowned pianist and composer Michael Allen Harrison. Tickets are $35 apiece, with all proceeds going toward bringing world-class musicians to the Oregon Coast.

Tunes by master composers ranging from George Gershwin to Dimitri Schostakovitch will be on offer this Sunday, Jan. 31, as the Lincoln City Cultural Center welcomes the Pacific Trombone Quartet back to the coast.

In addition to Gershwin’s “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Four Preludes” by Schostakovitch, the quartet will perform numbers including “Inchworm” by Frank Loesser, “Four Little Prayers of St. Francis of Assisi” by Frances Poulenc and works by Nehls, Ewazen, Rovigo, Holst and Peeters.

The band brings together four of the finest ’bone players in the Pacific Northwest — Greg Scholl, Lars Campbell, Kenneth Biggs and John Warton.

Greg Scholl is principal trombone in the Portland Columbia Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony and the Newport Symphony as well as the low brass instructor at Pacific University. He

obtained a trombone performance degree at the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied with Donald Knaub. He went on to obtain a law degree in 1995 from Lewis & Clark Northwestern School of Law and is now director of the public defender’s office in Hillsboro.

Portland-based Lars Campbell is the co-founder of the Portland Jazz Orchestra and plays in the innovative jazz trio Chopslaughter as well as the Bobby Torres Ensemble, Pepé and the Bottle Blondes, and the Nu Shooz Orchestra.

Holding a degree in Jazz Performance from Portland State University, Campbell is trained in both the jazz and classical repertoire and serves as the music department chair at Clackamas Community College.

A local freelance musician, Kenneth Biggs has played with several local orchestras, including the Oregon Symphony, the Portland Chamber Orchestra, the Portland Festival Symphony

and the Newport Symphony.

Equally comfortable on tenor and bass trombone, he enjoys early music and historically informed performance, and has played tenor and bass sacbut (Renaissance trombone) with the Portland Baroque Orchestra.

LINCOLN CITY FARMERS & CRAFTERS MARKET want to thank all our customers for making the Indoor Market a success.

We will be returning Sunday, March 6 from 10:00 am until 3pm Hope to see you then!

Pictures from a well-planned root Guests at the Thursday, Feb. 4, lunch meeting of the Coastal Arts Guild will get to experience a trip to the Far East along with their meal, as award-winning photographers Laren and JerriLynn Woolley present images from their recent adventure.

“Expect the Unexpected” is a collection of photographs the couple took while traveling in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. A planner by profession, Laren enjoys working out the precise route the couple will take on their photo-gathering journeys. On this latest trip, the Woolleys became fascinated by the people

and took many photographs of the faces of those they met, from the young to the old — and even the ocassional monkey.

The Woolleys will share some highlights of their trip and focus on faces of different cultures.

The Woolleys belong to

the Yaquina Art Association Photographers, Columbia Council of Camera Clubs, the Artists’ Co-op Gallery in Lincoln City. They have been widely published and have won many awards with their photographs.

The presentation will be in the 2nd floor classroom in the Newport Visual Arts Center in Nye Beach. The event begins with social time at 11:30 am, followed by the program at noon.

For more information and an invitation to attend, call Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Carol Deslippe at 541-2652624.

A chance to brush up Rockaway Beach artist Doreen Lindstedt will lead a four-session course in watercolors throughout February at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts.

Aimed at adult learners, the classes will run from 12:30 to 4 pm each Wednesday, starting on Feb. 3. Tuition will be $100 for all four sessions.

“Watercolor is like no other medium in its transparency, its ‘stained glass’ appearance,” said Lindstedt. “It has the reputation of being a difficult method of painting, but with some demonstration it can be conquered.”

“Some background in art making will be helpful for the classes,” she added, “but it’s not required.”

Lindstedt is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the Northwest Watercolor Society. She has paintings in the Portland Art Museum rental sales gallery and exhibits at Fourth Street Gallery in Manzanita, Cannon Beach Gallery, LSU Animals in Art and OSU Art in Agriculture.

To register for the class, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org and follow the links for “Programs” and “Register for Workshops.”

Two new classes at Oregon Coast Community College are offering people the chance to become the star of their own life by tackling stress, anxiety and negative thoughts.

“Practical Metaphysics for Wellness” offers techniques for managing and changing mental habits that keep people stuck in negative patterns. Topics include: “Don’t Believe Everything You Think,” “Learn to Love Yourself ” and “Being Happy for No Reason.”

The companion course “Meditation for Stress Relief and Wellness,” teaches students how to focus the mind and minimize distractions, so they can get things done more effectively. Using “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Short Meditations,” the class will cover topics including mindfulness meditation, affirmations,

visualization, breathing and more.

Instructor Cynthia Clayton, Ph.D., said the courses aim to give students a foundation for attaining happiness and peace, sustaining optimum mental and emotional health.

“You will discover

a rich inner source of peace, well-being, and natural confidence;” she said, “deepen your mindbody-spirit connection; experience a new and unlimited part of yourself; cultivate new levels of focus to support your goals.”

Clayton, who has 40 years’ experience in metaphysical science, is a registered practitioner of the Mindful Schools, a movement to enlist teachers, educators and parents in teaching mindfulness to classrooms and families.

Classes begin on Feb. 2, running at both the Newport and Lincoln City campuses. Students who take both classes together will receive a 10-percent discount.

Anyone reading the news will know that a rather disturbing proportion of Oregon’s bridges have been deemed inadequate. If you feel the same way about your bridge skills, the Newport 60+ Activity Center is here to help.

Starting on Friday, Feb. 5, the center will host a free bridge refresher course taught

by Mike Rickus of the American Contract Bridge League’s Central Oregon Coast Unit.

The six-to-eight week course is aimed at experienced players who want to review and expand upon their knowledge of the game.

Classes will run from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm each Friday in the downstairs Education
