One chilled child

s our cover story shows, ‘tis the season for welcoming the New Year by hurling yourself headlong into icy cold water. In preparation for the New Year dunks and plunges along the Oregon Coast, assistant editor Quinn has been on assignment at Mammoth Lakes, California, where he has been testing out his cold-weather gear. He seems pretty happy in his hat and snow boots but how will he fare when facing the frigid waters with nothing but a pair of trunks and a smile? Join us at Lincoln City’s Regatta Park on Thursday, Jan. 1, to ﬁnd out. See page 13 N OW PLAY IN G ba sed on the book by CherylStra yed Re e se W ith e rsp o o n in

Looking for some ringers The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is looking for some fresh blood to try out for three roles in its upcoming production of comedy Western “Dead Ringer.” Director Robert Buckingham is looking to ﬁll the roles of Tyrus, a male aged

from late 30s to 40s; Mary, a female aged from late 20s to 30s; and Dwight, a male in his 30s. Auditions will take place at the Barn Community Playhouse at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 3 and 4 —

appropriately enough at high noon both days. The show will run from March 20 to April 4. To receive an audition packet, email info@ tillamooktheater.com or call Buckingham at 503-8426305.

Dig out those old boots for the New Year Lincoln City is as good a place as anywhere to start a New Year’s resolution; and the Coastal Gems walking club will be on hand to provide support as they tackle their ﬁrst outing of 2015 this Tuesday, Jan. 6. The Yachats-based group will meet at the Yachats Commons in at 8:55 am to carpool to Lincoln City’s Cozy Cove Resort, the starting point for 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer walks through the town. Walkers can also meet at the Cozy Cove at 10:15 am to register. Both walks are rated 1A for good footing and mostly ﬂat

Assistant editor Quinn thinks Lincoln City is a fine place for a stroll

terrain — with just one hill. Dogs are allowed on this walk, but must be on a six-foot leash, not an extendable lead, and owners are encouraged to bring water and clean up materials.

For more information or directions, call Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721, Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541961-4279, or go to www. yachatscoastalgems.org.

Color theory will be on the menu at the Thursday, Jan. 8, lunch meeting of the Coastal Arts Guild, with Bobby Flewellyn the featured speaker. During her time in occupational therapy, Flewellyn realized that after wearing uniforms for several years she was having trouble ﬁguring out what “regular clothes” to wear for her new life in health care management, administration and consulting. She found her answer by taking a six-week

4 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 2, 2015

Personal Style Counselor course; and has successfully applied those principles during later careers that included real estate agent and feng shui practitioner. Flewellyn learned that there are four basic color harmonies (animated, soft, rich and striking) that can be used, with individual colors selected by pigment tone, bone structure, eye color and hair texture. Each harmony has its own textures, fabrics, jewelry and shapes. Few people are completely one

harmony — most are at least two or three. Her 20-to30-minute presentation will include handouts describing the harmonies and pictures showing examples of combinations. The lunch will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on the second ﬂoor of the Newport Visual Arts Center at 777 NW Beach Drive. For more information and an invitation to attend, call Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Bobby Flewellyn at 541-5638548.

All the elements of a good read 2015 Oregon Legacy Series authors

Tom Spanbauer

Smith Henderson

Steve McQuiddy

Scott Nadelson

enaissance woman Christine McKinley will kick off the 2015 Oregon Legacy Series at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 4, to talk about her book, “Physics for Rock Stars.” The book, McKinley’s first, is an attempt to explain the laws of physics for ordinary folk and acts as an everyday guide to everything from sound and light waves to momentum, friction, buoyancy, magnetism and relativity. “Whether you’re a secret agent trying to cover your tracks, a war correspondent ducking into a bomb shelter, trying to jump off a highspeed train or execute the perfect stage dive, understanding physics can mean the difference between life and death,” she said, “or at least looking kind of silly.” Both a mechanical engineer and a musician, McKinley has played bass guitar with the band Dirty Martini and currently plays with the trio Swan Sovereign. She hosts the “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” show on The History Channel and previously hosted “Under New York” on the Discovery Channel. Last winter she released the soundtrack to a musical she wrote called “Gracie and the Atom,” and is currently working on another musical about the “war of currents” between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. The Oregon Legacy Series began 21 years ago as a ‘thank you’ from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library to the community for its support during the library’s move to the Lincoln Square Civic Complex. The series, which runs for five Sundays throughout January and February, brings in Oregon-based authors to talk about their work. “For twenty-four hours we treat an Oregon author like a hero,” former library director Sue Jenkins said, “as all authors and artists should be treated.” The series will continue on Sunday, Jan. 11, when Montana native Smith Henderson visits to discuss his debut novel, “Fourth of

Christine McKinley

July Creek.” Henderson, who now lives in Portland, is the recipient of the 2011 PEN Emerging Writer Award in ﬁction and was the Phillip Roth Resident in Creative Writing at Bucknell University the same year. His short story, “Number Stations”, won a Pushcart Prize and was a ﬁnalist for the University of Texas Keene Prize, where he was a Michener Center for Writing Fellow. On Sunday, Jan. 18, the series will welcome Steve McQuiddy, author of “Here on the Edge: How a Small Group of World War II

Conscientious Objectors Took Art and Peace from the Margins to the Mainstream.” McQuiddy writes and lectures on the eccentric margins of history and culture. He has won awards for his feature writing from the Society of Professional Journalists and has written for Salon, Mother Jones and the Seattle Times. His monograph, “The Fantastic Tale of Opal Whiteley,” has been widely cited and reprinted. He is an honorary director of the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission and currently teaches writing at Lane Community

College in Eugene. Salem-based short story writer and essayist Scott Nadelson will visit the library on Sunday, Jan. 25. Nadelson is the author of three short story collections: “Aftermath,” “The Cantor’s Daughter” and “Saving Stanley;” and also recently published a collection of autobiographical essays entitled “The Next Scott Nadelson.” A winner of the Oregon Book Award for short fiction, the Reform Judaism Fiction prize and the Great Lakes Colleges Association’s New Writers Award, Nadelson teaches creative writing at Willamette University and in the Rainier Writing Workshop MFA Program at Pacific Lutheran University. The series will conclude on Sunday, Feb. 1, with a visit from novelist Tom Spanbauer, the critically acclaimed author and founder of Dangerous Writing. His five published novels, “Faraway Places,” “The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon,” “In The City Of Shy Hunters,” “Now Is The Hour” and “I Loved You More,” are notable for their combination of a fresh and lyrical prose style with solid storytelling. As a teacher, he emphasizes close attention to language with a large-hearted openness to what he calls ‘the sore place’— that place within each of us that is the source for stories that no one else can tell. The community of writers that has formed around him is dedicated to the proposition that “Fiction is the lie that tells the truth truer.” All Oregon Legacy presentations are free due to the generous support of The Friends of Driftwood Public Library and The D’Sands Condominium Motel, who provide free lodging for each of the visiting writers. Each presentation begins at 3 pm in the library, located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@ lincolncity.org.

Time is running out to catch “Beauty Abounds,” the Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase featuring work by Lane County artist Claudia Ryerson-Ignatief. The exhibit will be on display at the at the Newport Visual Arts Center through Saturday, Jan. 3. Ignatieﬀ has taken lessons from gifted artists such as F. Michael Wood and John Leasure, painting landscapes and seascapes; and for the past two years has studied portrait painting. “I paint because I appreciate the beauty I see all around me,” she said. “I am inspired by the ocean and its gifts, wildlife and their devotion to their young, and the innocence, faithfulness

and unconditional love of pets.” Working with water-based oils, Ignatieff prefers her art to have a soft, blended feel. In addition to brushwork, she uses different sizes of spatulas to create textures such as bark on trees or the fur of animals. “My art has a sense of realism without being overly detailed,” she said. The showcase, which is hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, also features a video documenting Ignatieff ’s work and artistic process. The exhibit is available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

There is still time for art lovers to help determine which entry in the 24th annual Pushpin Show at the Newport Visual Arts Center will go home with the People’s Choice Award. The show, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, features work from all kinds of Lincoln County residents, including beginners, emerging visual artists, established professionals, craftspeople, poets and literary artists, hobbyists, youngsters, oldsters, college students, retirees and families. The original Pushpin Show was the brainchild of local artist and art activist Jimmy Frankfort. And while it has grown over the years, the show still adheres to the principle of being an inclusive, all-county residents’ show that exempliﬁes Oregon Coast Council for the Arts’ mission to celebrate, promote and develop community arts. Much of the artwork is for sale.

Winter on the Oregon Coast – time of contemplation and creativity

hat have you have put oﬀ doing in your creative and contemplative life? Virtually everyone has something of that private nature they want to accomplish but aren’t moving forward with their aspirations. Something just is not working. What has blocked you? Most people intuitively know. What can unblock you? Many have no idea. Let me oﬀer a suggestion that comes with some measure of credibility behind it: embrace the Oregon Coast during the winter, quite possibly the wettest, most distraction-free locale in the country where rust never sleeps. In my 17 years of living on the Oregon Coast, I have observed or overheard the following scenarios during the winter: She holed up in a yurt on Cape Lookout to start the novel she always wanted to write. A book club retreated to a house in Manzanita to drink wine and discuss Ken Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion.” A man rented a motel in Waldport to ride out a debilitating breakup. A young woman ventured to Newport to decide if she wanted to become a teacher against her father’s wishes. An artist traveled to Yachats to paint drenched monotone landscapes. A businessman took a vacation driving down Highway 101 because he “wanted to do absolutely nothing.” There are many more such scenarios and I witness them all the time. There is something about

wintertime on the Oregon Coast, a season of quiet community, contemplation and creativity that attracts people from near, far away, and constitutes the very reason for living here. They purposely seek the solace and inspiration of rain, storms, gray skies, black oceans, empty campgrounds, uncrowded cities and deserted beaches. As I said, I believe I have credibility offering the Oregon Coast in wintertime as inspiration to initiate an endeavor. Why? I have authored 12 books about Oregon that were almost exclusively written during the coastal winters. Before experiencing the winters here, I hadn’t written a word for publication. The summers here are wonderful, I’ll easily admit that, but they don’t emotionally move me like winters do. Summers also recruit vastly larger number of tourists, a different kind of tourist, too, and that changes the rhythm of the coast. I’m not bothered at all by that change; I simply prefer winter and many other locals and visitors do, too. There is something primal in this place from late November to late February when the ocean rips, rain falls sideways and multiple layers of gray congeal into the sky that excites me, incites me, makes me think, makes me want to work on my aspirations or practice the fine art of disconnecting from popular culture. The aforementioned scenarios all typically involved people spending time indoors, but the great secret to wintertime here is how intimate engagement with coastal nature during its wildest season foments contemplation and creativity. We do get the infrequent sunny

days, and they are cherished and provide some buoyancy for the locals, but a visitor should not expect one happening during a stay. The visitors I meet during this time don’t even desire one. They’ve told me as much. When you hike on Cascade Head in a squall, or walk Ona Beach in high winds, or build a driftwood fort on Nestucca Spit near a surging black and white ocean, all these outdoor activities and others take on an exponential potency exactly because of the elements. Then when the participant returns to the comfort of home, trailer, tent, motel room, rented house, rented RV, or bed and breakfast, and sips a little tea or whiskey, perhaps cracks a novel, listens to jazz, or pieces together a puzzle, the mind … well … it begins instigation. From there, the endeavor begins to take shape. Matt Love is the author/editor of 12 books about Oregon, including “Of Walking In Rain,” his account of one of the rainiest winters in Oregon history. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

...if you get your New Year’s resolution out of the way in 10 icy-cold seconds

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ar be it from us at Today Towers to pour cold water on anyone’s plans for January, but chances are that your New Year’s resolution, which seemed like such a great idea when the bells were ringing, will be history before we hit March. That’s why it makes more sense to channel all that resolve into a single act of foolhardy bravado that will leave you with memories of triumph that last all year long. And when it comes to taking the plunge, the Central Oregon Coast has three options that will each oﬀer more tingle in an instant than you’ll get from avoiding donuts for a full year.

Manzanita • Thursday, Jan. 1 With between 300 and 400 participants, the Manzanita Polar plunge is unquestionably the Central Coast’s leading provider of New Year’s tingles. “There’s no stopping it,” said founder Janice Gaines. “It’s a monster,” Gaines founded the plunge many years ago when she, four friends and a dog ran the breadth of NeahKahNie Beach to dive into the Paciﬁc’s icy embrace. As well as growing in size, the plunge has become more elaborate — with many participants choosing to come in costume. “We’ve had people in tutus; some people in just wild, leotard outﬁts; and one guy who painted his belly,” Gaines said. “He was a retired neurosurgeon and he painted ‘yikes’ on his big old belly.”

The Devils Lake Dunk

Magniﬁcent costumes, painted bellies and other visual splendors will be immortalized in a group photo taken just before the plunge begins at 11 am. Aside from a towel and something warm to change into, Gaines said people should feel free to bring a treat to share at the post-plunge beach party that often springs up on years when the weather co-operates. The plunge takes place at NeahKahNie Beach just north of Manzanita. Parking can be tight in town, so Gaines suggests ﬁnding a spot in the NeahKahNie neighborhood itself. Questions? Call Gaines at Spa Manzanita, 503-368-4777.

Lincoln City • Thursday, Jan. 1 Still the smallest of the area’s cold-water plunges, the Devils Lake Dunk has come a long way since its debut in 2010, when eight hardy but frozen-looking souls gathered on the lake shore for a mercifully brief dip into the frigid waters. Among them, Devils Lake Manager Paul Robertson, who has been a ﬁxture at the dunk ever since and has seen the event grow steadily. The Devils Lake event is a loosely organized

affair, with participants gathering at Regatta Grounds and posing for a group photo before charging into the waters of the swimming area, which is enclosed by pontoon docks. “It’s exhilarating,” Robertson said, “Physically, you’ve got this big rush of energy dealing this cold immersion and that manifests into a lot of happy, smiley faces.” Winter rains have chased away the green algae that plagued the lake throughout the summer with the waters getting the all clear from Robertson and his staff in late November. Hopefully, that clear water will help organizers reach their goal of having 50 participants in the water this year to mark the beginning of Lincoln City’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebrations. Need something to sweeten the deal? All dunkers get to munch on donuts and sip hot coffee after they emerge. Because why settle for one buzz when you can have three?

as the Polar Bear Plunge. Organizer Ed Cortes of Ardor Adventures said he is expecting about 250 participants in this year’s event, which debuted three years ago with 100 people taking part. Cortes said about half the runners end up taking the plunge, with a few skipping the running and going straight for the icy dunk. So, this year’s event includes a special dash-anddunk option that will see participants sprint 200 yards before jumping into the water. “It’s one of those daredevil things to do,” Cortes said, adding: “It’s pretty frigid. The waters are chilling, chilling, chilling, cold.” In addition to the free beer for adult plungers, Rogue will be offering clam chowder and hot coffee at the finish area. The race starts near the Rogue Brewery in South Beach at 11 am. Registration for the run plus plunge costs $25 in advance, rising to $35 on race day. The dash-and-dunk option costs $20 in advance, rising to $30 on race day. A kids’ run of a little more than a mile is also on offer, with free advance registration, rising to $10 on the day. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Coast Hills Running Club. For more information or to register, go to www.ardoradventures.com.

Newport • Saturday, Jan. 3 Not to be outdone on the buzz front, Rogue Ales is offering a free beer to any adult who tops off Newport’s 5-K Resolution Run by flinging themselves into Yaquina Bay, in an event known

A mixture of 1950’s bebop and cool jazz with smatterings of Latin music and vintage popular song will be on offer at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Monday, Jan. 5, as Aaron Johnson’s Reboppers take to the stage. One of the most captivating groups in jazz today, the Reboppers are a quintet comprised of five rising stars from both coasts. The New York City based Aaron Johnson quartet adds San Francisco tenor saxophone titan Danny Brown to its lineup on the band’s first West Coast tour in this configuration. Johnson, aged 23 and already a nationally renowned jazz musician, is the last of a breed — a journeyman musician captured by the exciting and lyrical freedom of Charlie Parker’s music. Growing up in rural Oregon, Johnson excelled at music at an early age and made his soloist debut at 16 after winning the

on stage

The best of the zest When life hands you lemons, step up on stage By Gretchen Ammerman

almost 80 years of life as a lemon lady. They wrote “her lengthy life” on this year’s poster and I was a little resentful about that but I couldn’t argue it.” Although she is not even close to running out of material, Black promises to tell stories not befitting the dignity a soon-to-be octogenarian. “I’ve been giving comedic shows about my life experiences, but until now, I’ve never revealed my most embarrassing moments to the general public, and certainly not in mixed company. My sisters, daughters and sometimes my brother join me on the stage; and they will be the first to correct me if I tell a story wrong. They don’t care at all if it’s a story that’s embarrassing for me, but just that it’s accurately told. One of my daughters asked me, ‘Mother, you aren’t going to talk about the time you dragged my from my own wedding are you?’ and I said, ‘Wow, I hadn’t thought to tell that one, but now I will.’” At Black’s request, this is the first year that the Lemon Ladies show will run for two days. “I wanted to have a matinée so my friends who can’t drive in the dark can come, too,” she said. “This is a comedic hour, or actually an hour and a half with an intermission. Volunteers will be selling beer and wine, with proceeds going to the center. I like people to get a little liquored up during the intermission so they will enjoy the second half of the show even more.”

For the TODAY

Elizabeth Black is no stranger to the stage. As a regular presence at Theatre West, she is very familiar with preforming for an audience. But when she gets on the stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center for her (mostly) one-woman performances, there is one big difference; she hasn’t been given a script to memorize. “These are about my life,” she said. “I do an outline, but then I mostly just start telling tales on myself. I don’t like to hurt anyone else’s feelings, but I love being the butt of my own jokes.” Being the butt of one’s own jokes takes a certain skill to keep it from being … you know — awkward. Black is definitely gifted with that skill, as evidenced by the growing number of people who come to see her air her metaphorical drawers in public. “A Blushing Lemon Lady Returns,” is the fourth in her series of staged memoirs; and will be presented at the cultural center on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 3 and 4. Although each performance has a different theme, all center on Black’s life as a “lemon lady,” essentially someone who aims high, fails miserably, but still manages to make lemonade out of life’s lemons. “It goes back to a counselor at a school where I taught who ran a fund-raiser every summer,” Black said. “She always had such lofty goals and fell so short of them; every year when she came back to school, we would be waiting for the story and would get a good laugh out of it. But she still raised some money so it all worked out. I realized that many times I’ve been a lemon lady; I mean a lot of what I’ve done has gone totally wrong and it turns out to be the best thing. One of them was winding up here in Lincoln City.” Part of Black’s charm comes from how she even seems to amuse herself

with her odd choices. “One of the ﬁrst Lemon Ladies shows was all about rummage sales and the crazy things I’ve purchased,” she said. “I got a shy girlfriend up here with a huge box of the most bazaar

items, but every one of them was true. So I would open the box, bring each item out; and the people would fall down laughing at these crazy things. The second year it was all about my life lessons, things I’ve learned from my

Black will perform “A Blushing Lemon Lady Returns” at 7 pm on Saturday, Jan. 3, and at 3 pm on Sunday, Jan. 4, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets are $10; all proceeds will be used to support the cultural center. Volunteers will also be on hand to accept items for the center’s annual fundraising rummage sale and nonperishable food donations for the Lincoln City Food Pantry.

artsy

Mask and you shall receive — in Toledo Toledo’s First Weekend art show will start the New Year with open houses at four venues throughout town this Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 3 and 4. This month’s featured artists are Becky Miller, Alice Haga, Caroll Loomis and Karen Fitzgibbon, who three years ago started holding joint art shows under the acronym “B*A*C*K.” The women will be presenting “Masked,” a collection of masks created using a wide variety of media, including oil paint, clay, beads, glass and wood. Most of the masks have never been shown before. The exhibit will be on display from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday at Becky Miller Studio, 167 NE 1st Street. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call 503-504-7289. Masking of a diﬀerent type will on show at Gallery Michael Gibbons, where the 15-inch oil painting “Wildﬂowers on Yaquina Head,” is featured this month. When Gibbons set out to

paint this view, he was told that the seabirds that nest upon the cliff were the most fascinating part. But when he returned to his studio, not a bird was in sight on his painted canvas. “The true story is that artists often leave out or “mask over” what they do not want to show,” Gibbons said, “because they are interested in a different facet.” In this case, Gibbons left out the birds in order to draw attention to the perspective that creates the extreme fall from the cliff edge to the Pacific Ocean. The gallery, at 140 NE Alder Street, will be open from 11 am to 5 pm both days, with complimentary wine and cheese refreshments on offer. For more information, call 541336-2797. Meanwhile, across the street, the Yaquina River Museum of Art will be continuing its show of “Promise,” Judith Gibbons’ collection of Latin American Christmas crafts. The collection includes a Guatemalan nativity;

Caroll Loomis used painted wood and paper to create this mask

This complex fused glass mask was created by Alice Haga

ﬁgurines from Ecuador; Retablo from Peru; weavings and paintings from Chile; and much more. Gibbons amassed the collection during 18 years living in Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Chile, often visiting the homes of artisans who specialized in Christmas traditions. The collection includes a Colombian Christmas tree skirt crafted by a motherand-daughter team. The mother hand wove the wool fabric, which the daughter

Karen Fitzgibbon created this mask from clay and a variety of mixed media Painted in oil on wood, “Ecstasy” is reflective of Becky Miller’s joyous relationship with kelp

then embroidered with three separate Christmas tree designs. The ﬁrst is a typical North American Christmas with Santa Claus in a sleigh. The second is the Colombian Christmas, with globos or paper tissue round balloons in the sky. And the third is

the Nativity of Jesus Christ in a manger scene. Gibbons will be on hand throughout First Weekend to talk about the collection. The museum, located at 151 NE Alder Street, will be open from 11 am to 5 pm both days, with refreshments served by Friends of the Museum. For more information, call

541-336-1907. Lastly, oil painter Ivan Kelly, a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists, will be displaying his recent 12-by-16-inch piece “Beach Monolith.” The work is a depiction of one of the many mysterious wonders of nature; how the ever-changing light, mist and moisture in the atmosphere reﬂects constant changes — peaceful one moment and dramatic the next. Ivan Kelly Gallery-Studio is located at 207 East Graham Street, one block above Main Street, and will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday.
