In the heat of the moment

departments artsy p. 14, 15 & 21 beach reads p. 4

s a new father, I am resigned to the fact that my son will go through several obligatory challenging phases before he becomes a sensible human being. There will be the phase of riding his bike too fast; the phase of growing his hair tragically long; the phase of using the word ‘like’ as a form of punctuation; and, probably around the time he reaches college, the phase of challenging himself to eat ridiculously hot food. This seems to be a peculiarly male pursuit — a rite of passage that we, the simpler sex, must undergo in an attempt to prove our manhood. As rites of manhood go, it beats getting poked with sharp sticks or having to bungee jump from a tree with a vine tied to your ankle, but it’s still a distinctly silly Patrick Alexander phase. Many were the regretful mornings I spent as a Editor young man, ruing my decision to go with the ‘hot lava sauce’ or ‘nuclear nacho’ rather than the more temperate option. To be fair, temperate options seldom had such inviting names. There’s something about impending taste bud doom that seems to unlock the literary talents of chefs. I have an enduring memory of an unfathomably hot piece of sushi in Park City, Utah, that bore the name “On Death Roll.” But those who chose to engage in a head-on battle of wills with the chili pepper are signing up for a fight that they can’t possibly win. Here’s a tip, if your ingredient of choice has been weaponized by militaries and police forces the world over —use it sparingly. And it is with this newfound, levelheaded approach to spiciness that I welcome the return of Lincoln City’s Jambalaya Cook-Off for its sixth year this Saturday. Chefs who attend the event, including Washington’s “Gumbo Goddess” Jocelyn Kelly, who graces this week’s cover, use their spices like a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. They tease out the flavors of the other ingredients and wrap them together into a dish that has kick but won’t leave you whimpering on the floor. So that’s where I will be on Saturday, having my fill of New Orleans’ most celebrated dish while possibly sneaking a spoonful to the boy. Might as well start him while he’s young. • This week we also bid a fond farewell to Jack Kent, whose “Gulls” and “Minus Tide” cartoons have enlivened our puzzle page for the past three years. Look out for a new puzzle starting next week and let us know what you think.

Find Love at the library Matt Love

The Oregon Legacy Series at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library will continue Sunday, Feb. 2, with a visit from coastal favorite Matt Love. Love, who has recently relocated from Newport to Astoria, is a lifelong educator, publisher of Nestucca Spit Press and author/editor of 10 books about Oregon, including the Beaver State and Newport trilogies. In 2009, he won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. He shares his love of the state’s publicly owned beaches through a regular column in the Oregon Coast TODAY. His latest book is “Of Walking in Rain.” 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. The Feb. 2 presentation will begin 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 541-9961242 or kenh@lincolncity.org.

A Big Apple tale with bite Newport author Carla Perry’s autobiographical tale of growing up in Manhattan will come to life in a staged reading this Friday in Newport. Perry’s work, “Riva Beside Me: New York City 1963-1966,” won praise from Leanne Grabel, co-founder of Café Lena, the site of Portland’s longest running poetry open mic. “Perry manages, with her complex characterizations, and spare, well-toned, evocative prose, to take her readers on a gutwrenching, inspiring ride from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other,” Grabel said. The performance will take place from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, Jan. 31, at Club 1216, Canyon Way Bookstore & Restaurant, 1216 SW Canyon Way, Newport. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.

Focusing on folk Rising folk star Matthew Price will bring his guitar-bass-drum trio to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, Feb. 1, for a show that promises down-to-earth, honest and often funny lyrics reminiscent of John Prine. Price and his band have earned a strong following and have been named the Best Local Band by the Statesman Journal in Salem.     â€œMatthew Price is becoming somewhat of a folk icon in Oregon’s Willamette Valley through some very strong songwriting,â€? said Marc Albert of Salem’s KMUZ 88.5FM. In 2010, Price independently released his debut album, “Stranded,â€? and that ďŹ rst year, the album sold several thousand copies, both online and out of an old suitcase at live shows. It also received radio play on Northwest radio stations and gained positive reviews by both fans and critics. In 2013, Price joined with vocalist and violinist Christiana Zollner and released a second CD titled “Gallon House,â€? built around witty and sweet duets and acoustic instruments. Their live shows are generally stripped-down aairs with Price’s guitar and Zollner’s violin joined by percussion from Eli Ritchie. As a boy, Price listened as his dad, a camp director at Canyonview Camp, played guitar and sang around the campďŹ re. Price said that time, when the natural, musical and spiritual worlds seemed to combine, inspires him as he takes listeners on a journey to discover the extraordinary in everyday life. The show will start at 7 pm in the auditorium at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101, with doors opening at 6:30 pm. Beer, wine, sodas and concession snacks will be sold throughout. Tickets, $12 in advance or $14 at the door, are on sale now at the center box oďŹƒce — open from 10 am to 4 pm every day except Tuesday — or by calling call 541-994-9994.

in concert Nothing mellow about this drama Guests at the Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society’s regular concerts are no strangers to dramatic scenery, with performances staged in oceanfront homes in Depoe Bay. And, on Saturday, Feb. 8, there will be music every bit as stirring as the view, with well-known narrator Edmund Stone from All Classical FM joining forces with pianist Cary Lewis to perform a “Melodrama Medleyâ€? of music and poetry. The pair will perform selections including the “Pied Piper of Hamelinâ€? by Robert Browning; “The Ravenâ€? by Edgar Allen Poe; “The Fisherman and the Fishâ€? by Pushkin; and “Don Quixoteâ€? with music by a young Erich Korngold. Edmund Stone began his career as a teenager in theater for youth in England before moving to Scotland, where he became a ďŹ lm correspondent for BBC Radio and Thompson Publications. In 1980 he moved to Hollywood where he covered the Academy Awards and interviewed celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock. He has also lent his rich vocal talents to narrating more than 1,000 educational audio books. Stone now hosts All Classical FM programs on weekend afternoons and evenings. In 2006, he created “The Score,â€? a nationally and internationally syndicated ďŹ lm music program which he writes, produces and hosts. Cary Lewis has been in demand as a collaborative pianist for soloists and chamber music groups since the beginning of his career. Together with cellist Dorothy Lewis and violinist William Preucil, he received acclaim throughout the U.S. and Europe as a member of the Lanier Trio. A former Fulbright scholar, he has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, the White House and London’s Wigmore Hall. In addition, Lewis has made more Cary Lewis than 36 recordings on 11 labels and has performed in music festivals around the world. He is still a frequent guest at festivals and chamber groups and contributes to the annual Astoria Festival on a regular basis. The Feb. 8 concert will take place at 3 pm in an ocean-view home at on the north end of Depoe Bay near Lincoln Beach. Tickets are $25 per person, including light refreshments prepared and served by Taft High Culinary Club. To make reservations and receive directions, contact the society at 541-645-0409 or 541-765-7770. For more information about all 2013-14 concerts and the March 15 “An Afternoon in Parisâ€?

Come appreciate The Tokens The history of pop lyrics is littered with words that defy meaning – from Frank Sinatra’s “dooby dooby doo� to Little Richard’s “a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop� to whatever it is that Michael Stipe is saying in most of REM’s songs. But anyone who added The Tokens’ 1961 hit “The Lion Sleeps Tonight� to their list of nonsensical song lyrics on account of a chorus that goes “wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh� should stand corrected. Turns out that “wimoweh� is the anglicized version of the Zulu word “Mbube,� meaning “lion,� — a nugget of information that comes courtesy of the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook, who will host the group for a Sunday, Feb. 2, performance at Tillamook High School. “The Lion Sleeps Tonight� was The Tokens’ biggest hit, selling more than 15 million copies and being named by the National Endowment for the Arts as one of the top 200 hits of all time.

The group was among the ďŹ rst to use a falsetto lead voice, which was later used with much success by such groups as Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and even The Beach Boys. Other hits by The Tokens include, “Tonight I Fell in Loveâ€? and “Portrait of My Love.â€? The group later produced hit records including “He’s So Fineâ€? and “One Fine Dayâ€? for The Chions; “See You in Septemberâ€? for The Happenings; and “Knock Three Timesâ€? and “Tie a Yellow Ribbonâ€? for Tony Orlando & Dawn. The Tokens even have a place in baseball history. In 1998, they earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for singing a-cappella versions of “The Star Spangled Bannerâ€? and “Oh, Canadaâ€? in all 30 Major League baseball stadiums in a single season. The group’s Feb. 2 concert will take place at 2 pm in the Don Whitney Auditorium at Tillamook High School, 2605

12th Street in Tillamook. Advance tickets are $25 each for adults and $20 for students. Tickets at the door are priced at $30 for adults and $25 for students. To order advance tickets, send a check payable to the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook to 6415 Westwood Court, Tillamook, OR 97141. Tickets may also be purchased at the oďŹƒces of TLC Federal Credit Union and the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce. To order advance tickets with reserved seating, call 503-8422078. The club’s concert season will conclude on Sunday, March 30, with a return engagement by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, a longtime favorite of Tillamook audiences. The band has been a favorite throughout the world since the 1940s with a string of classic hits including “In The Mood,â€? “Chattanooga Choo Choo,â€? “String of Pearls,â€? and “Moonlight Serenade.â€?

Chinook Winds Casino Resort will start its 2014 Comedy on the Coast series in style this weekend, with a show headlined by veteran stand-up Jimmy Della Valle, featuring New York comic Jodi Borrello and hosted by fellow New Yorker Tim Homayoon. Since 1991, Della Valle has performed more than 5,000 worldwide comedy shows and has managed to earn praise from what has to be one of the toughest crowds around — the judges on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.� “I wanted to hate you with every bone in my body, but I loved you!� Judge Piers Morgan said. “You have the greatest comedic timing and delivery I have ever seen in my life. You are hilarious!� Since beginning his career 20 years ago, Della Valle has headlined at major comedy clubs, casinos, colleges and corporate events as well as performing for US troops at several military bases. Meanwhile, native New Orleanian Jodi

Borrello aims to give audiences a Big-Easy perspective with crazy stories about her family, like this one: “My daughter asks me; “Mom, am I adopted?â€? I said. “Of course you’re not adopted. We tried to adopt. They said we were unďŹ t parents.â€?’ With her honest manner and beaming permanent smile, Borrello infects audiences with laughter. Author of “She’s So Funnyâ€? and “Squeaky Clean Comedy,â€? she tours with Budd Friedman’s The Improv at Harrah’s Casinos around the country and appeared recently on CNNs “Showbiz Tonight,â€? NPR, and The Weather Channel. The Big Apple’s Tim Homayoon began his comedy career with improv while still in high school. More than 20 years, 5,000 performances and 500,000 Youtube video views later, he now headlines across the US and Canada at clubs and colleges.

“This section of highway becomes littered with large amounts of trash from passing vehicles and needs attention in order to eliminate the trash from plaguing our nearby beaches,â€? said Surfrider organizer Peter Snell. “A few volunteers can make a big dierence in a short amount of time, we welcome all age participants and this is a great community service hours opportunity for students.â€? Participants should meet at Moolack Beach parking lot,

W Oregon Coast TODAY

When you’ve got it — the old saying goes — flaunt it. And the Harbor Lights Inn is doing just that, using its unique view of the Depoe Bay Harbor as the inspiration for a new mural that greets visitors as they enter the restaurant. Painted by Waldport muralist Gary Herd, the artwork will mirror the scene that diners can enjoy from their tables — calm waters and boats at anchor, all framed by the graceful arc of the town’s art deco bridge. The mural is just one more example of owners Bob and Beni Blessinger adding a touch of flair to the inn, which they managed for four years before buying in 2012. Beni said their time as innkeepers gave them the opportunity to see the place’s potential and, after sealing the deal, the couple redecorated all 11 rooms, got a liquor license and fired up the kitchen, offering Italian cuisine on Friday and Saturday nights. Starting with just a few dishes, the menu grew as Bob and Beni figured out what people wanted to eat.

Waldport muralist Gary Herd

Crab-stuffed ravioli quickly emerged as a hot favorite, as did the Chicken Vesuvio, which comes served alongside an Italian mac and cheese made with fontina, gruyere, parmesan, mozzarella and white cheddar. Once the Italian nights were established, the Blessingers developed a second menu for the rest of the week, featuring a range of burgers and specialty sandwiches. Now, the couple are combining all the most popular items into a single menu that will me offered every night that the restaurant is open. “We found that the locals preferred the burgers and the tourists preferred the Italian,” Bob said, adding that having a single menu will make things simpler for everyone. Bob’s “Three-napkin burgers,” live up to their billing, arriving as a tower of bun, patty, veggies and cheese, all held together by a steak knife driven through the center. Vegetarians can swap out the meat patty for a black bean burger that has attracted a dedicated local following. “Bodily harm has been threatened to me if I ever get rid of it,” Bob said. “They said it was best they ever had.”

Meanwhile, the shrimp po’boy, served with a mild remoulade sauce, offers a little Louisiana flair without quite so much heat as you might find on Canal Street. Switching between gourmet burgers and Italian cuisine keeps chef Andrew Reynolds-Rice on his toes. The first thing Andrew had to learn when coming on board was how to make the pasta noodles that feature in so many of the restaurant’s dishes, from spaghetti to ravioli to lasagne. “Bob has perfected this recipe for years and years,” Andrew said. “He was over my shoulder, making sure I did it exactly perfect.” Andrew is one half of a can-do, brother-and-sister team that the Blessingers credit with the smooth running of the inn. Bob said Andrew’s sister, Sara, joined the staff first as a housekeeper. When the couple opened the restaurant and needed a waitress, she stepped up and, when Bob needed someone to take on the chef ’s position, she nominated her brother for the job. Since then, Bob has been passing on the wealth of culinary know how that he has accumulated throughout 45 years in the restaurant industry. Having grown up on the move as an army brat, Bob developed a love of Italian food, tweaking recipes to make them his own. He got into the food business soon after his first stint in the army, as a helicopter gunner, and returned to it after a second stint 11 years later, when he served as a radio operator attached to a special forces unit. Now, as the owner of one of the few Italian restaurants in the county, Bob’s mission is to get people through the door and make sure they come back. Beni said the inn’s location, away from the highway, makes that more tricky.

Bob’s “Three Napkin” burger

“There are people who come in for dinner who have lived here 15 years and never knew that we were here,” she said. “But once we get people through that door, we have got them.” What hooks them? It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s the much-praised steamer clams, maybe it’s the USDA prime steaks now offered on both menus, or maybe its Sara’s specialty — the tiramisu martini. “That’s always a hit,” Bob said. “It’s kind of like dessert in a glass.” And, as if diners needed another reason to keep coming back, the Blessingers also have a rewards program that offers people $20 off their next meal after spending $400. The program also offers $15 discounts as a reward just for signing up or for referring a friend as well

as to mark members’ birthdays and anniversaries. Bob is excited about how the new program helps Harbor Lights stay in touch with its fans but said, at the end of the day, the food speaks for itself. “We will throw down against any restaurant in the county,” he said. “I think we are good enough that we can be a little cocky.” The Harbor Lights Inn is located at 235 SE Bay View Avenue in Depoe Bay. They are open Monday to Saturday from 4 to 8 pm.” For more information or to make a reservation call 541-765-2322 or 800-2280448, or visit their website at www. theharborlightsinn.com.

Mardi Gras comes to the coast with the Jambalaya Cook-Off

olorful, loud and born out of a melting pot of far-flung cultures, Mardi Gras is a feast for all the senses, not least the taste buds. And perhaps no other dish captures this Louisiana flair more perfectly than Jambalaya, where Andouille sausage jostles with shrimp and sautéed vegetables against a fragrant backdrop of Creole spices. This Saturday, Mardi Gras will come to the coast as chefs from Oregon and Washington descend upon the Culinary Center in Lincoln City for the 6th annual Jambalaya Cook-Off. The cook off, which runs from 11 am to 2 Jason Jobé pm, will see a panel of judges determine which chef goes home with the “Best Jambalaya” award, while the public will make the call on which dish is named “People’s Choice.”

Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

One of Creole Cookery’s hallmarks, Jambalaya varies widely from cook to cook, with its origins as a poor man’s dish giving chefs license to throw in anything from chicken to Tasso ham along with the staple rice, tomatoes and vegetables. For Jason Jobé, chef at Vivian’s Restaurant and Bill’s Barbecue in Lincoln City, the contest represents something of a trip down memory lane. Jobé lived just off New Orleans’ iconic Bourbon Street in the early 2000s while working in the kitchen of the luxury Windsor Court Hotel. It was during his time in the Big Easy that he first tasted — and TODAY photo later learned to cook — traditional jambalaya. He said jambalaya is one of three dishes, together with gumbo and turtle soup, that New Orleanians take very seriously. “Those three, you have to know what you are doing,” he said. While the trick with gumbo is to get the rue right, Jobé said, Jambalaya is

more about the seasoning. “You can’t just throw everything in a pot and let it boil away,” he said. “You have to build the layers of flavor and constantly taste as you are going.” Those layers of flavor start with a Louisiana Creole trilogy of celery, onions and bell peppers, sautéed together with garlic. After that, Jobé adds the spicy Andouille sausage before deglazing with wine to bring all those flavors up into the broth, where they are then conducted through the dish by the tomatoes. Jobé plans to add some smoked tomatoes to the mix — just enough to remind tasters that this entry originated in a smokehouse. In a deviation from tradition, Jobé will be using orzo pasta instead of rice, with the aim of avoiding the clumping that can sometimes leave jambalaya looking more like risotto. “I don’t want to just have spicy, sticky rice with some sausage,” he said. The finishing touch will be a topping of barbecued shrimp, enlivened with a dry rub and Creole seasoning direct from New Orleans. To drink? Jobé recommends a glass of red wine. “A pinot would be able to handle the

oledo’s thriving arts community will be opening its doors to the public on Saturday and Sunday, Feb 1 and 2, for a First Weekend event that will celebrate the theme “Water of Life.” Featured artist Becky Miller will be using the weekend as an opportunity to show her love for Oregon’s kelp — displaying her newest kelp paintings, prints and works in progress. “Kelp is a highly nutritious and delicious plant, as well as being beautiful,” she said, “so it nourishes both body and soul.” Miller’s newest kelp works will be available to view from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday in her studio at 167 NE 1st Street, half a block up from Main. Refreshments will be served, including a kelp-seasoned dish, wine and Twisted Snout ales. For more information, go to www. BeckyMillerArtist.com or www. ToledoArts.info.

artsy “Good Catch” by Martin Waugh

Lunch and a good yarn

Art that makes a splash Intriguing to the eye and stimulating to the imagination, Martin Waugh’s photographs of fluids in motion will be the subject of a presentation entitled “Liquid Sculpture” on Monday, Feb. 3, in Newport. Hosted by the Yaquina Art Association Photographers, the presentation will see Waugh demonstrate the sophisticated set ups, equipment and props used to create his liquid sculptures. Inspired by the work of Dr. Harold Edgerton, Waugh pioneered the process of controlling liquids and light to create his Liquid Sculpture images. Using high-speed photography, precise coordination and meticulous illumination he explores the intricate

landscape of drops and splashes, exposing their complexity and beauty. Waugh said he creates myriad shapes by manipulating the physical properties of the drops — using dye, glycerin and soap to control color, viscosity and surface tension. “Fluids in motion fascinate my senses,” he said. “I feel their smooth and effortless curves: structures reflecting a perfect balance of dynamic forces. They tickle some faint physical memory, like a scent evoking a forgotten mix of feelings.” In his talk, Waugh will discuss the challenges of stopping motion, lighting a transparent object and controlling chaos. Waugh received his B.S. degree in

physics from Lewis and Clark College. He lives in Portland, where, when not photographing drops, he can be found kayaking the local whitewater rivers. His work can be found in museums as well as corporate and private art collections. The Feb. 3 presentation is scheduled for 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. Admission is $5 for non-members or $10 to join the Yaquina Art Association Photographers at the door. The group holds monthly instructional programs on the first Monday of the month and meets on the first and third Mondays from 7 to 8:30 pm. For more information, go to yaaphotographers. org.

The secret to turning paper into cloth will be revealed at the Thursday, Feb. 6, lunch meeting of the Coastal Arts Guild, in a presentation from teaching artist Kate Boyes. Boyes, who is happiest when working on her three passions: writing, weaving and book arts, will share her latest work, the historic Asian paper-weaving technique known in Japan as shifu. Using yarn made from mulberry paper, Boyes weaves sheets of shifu cloth to create covers and wraps for her art books. As well as adding writing to the fabric after it is woven, she often includes hidden written messages within the yarn itself to give the finished product special By Kate Boyes significance. By weaving copper wire into the web along with the mulberry paper yarn, she can create books and garments that have sculptural and architectural qualities. Boyes aims to create work that not only honors the historic tradition of shifu but also translates it, making shifu cloth accessible and appealing to a modern, diverse audience. She also hopes to share this unique weaving technique with other weaving enthusiasts. The guild holds a lunch meeting from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on the first Thursday of each month at the Newport Visual Arts Center at 777 NW Beach Drive. For more information and an invitation, call Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Bobby Flewellyn at 541-563-8548. The Coastal Arts Guild also welcomes new members. To learn more, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624, or Mary Peterson at 541-5748221.

A large-scale salmon project in Toledo

Sam Briseno with a conceptual sketch of the salmon sculpture

Sometimes salmon need a little help as they make their epic journey upstream — a log to rest behind here, a salmon ladder there… Turns out cash is also helpful. A group of Toledo residents have launched a campaign to raise $65,000 for the creation of a huge public art piece showing salmon heading upriver to spawn. Designed by Toledo metal

artist Sam Briseno, the 120-footlong sculpture would welcome visitors to town at the junction of Highway 20 and Main Street. Starting at about two or three feet high, the piece would reach about seven feet at its highest point and, thanks to the inclusion of an eddy, would also have room for a bench where people could stop to enjoy the view.

Made primarily from half-inch steel rods and mesh, the work would also make use of local river rock. Supporters of the project have set up a crowd funding effort using the GoFundMe website, offering perks in return for donations. Items on offer range from a “Feel the Love” candlestick holder for a $100 donation to a one-off contemporary table with

beveled glass top for $5,000. Fundraising organizer Deanne Dunlap said the entire project will be crafted in 10-foot sections, meaning that it can be scaled to fit the crowd-funding response. If all goes well, she said, the piece should be in place by late summer. For more information, or to make a donation, go to www. gofundme.com/545nd4.

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

One morning with Jeffers O

ne morning on the Oregon Coast, I’ll rise early in darkness on what appears a clear day and hit the beach with Sonny the husky. As the light comes, something about a metallic birdless sky will silently alarm me and I will intuit that something has gone terribly, irreversibly wrong with our world. I won’t be alone in this recognition. Everyone will sense this calamity, even those who perpetrated it. The great angry poet Robinson Jeffers once defined human beings as “sieves of leaking desire.” He also wrote “the unsocial birds are a greater race.” Watch gulls for half an hour with or without music and you might agree. Watch a blue heron hunt alone for 10 minutes in a marsh and you won’t deny it. When the metallic sky dawns, man’s dominion over the fishes of the sea and the fowls of the air and the beasts upon the Earth will be over. The creatures will inherit it and yes, they were meek. Jesus was right. He just never said it was going to be humans.

No human being is spared the enlightenment. The awareness won’t jolt us like when the terrorist planes smashed into the World Trade Center towers. I imagine it will compare to dying by suffocation while watching a television rerun. What will we sense? We will sense we knew all along this morning was coming and we didn’t try hard enough to stop it. Indeed, we really didn’t try at all. I don’t think America really has the collective ability to try at anything meaningful anymore that calls for a sacrifice. We just sit, consume, grow layers of lard in mind and body, and let fear rule our lives. We essentially have no leaders who ask us to serve a higher secular purpose. At least no one has ever called on me to do anything but shop after 9-11. Many warnings presented themselves and they were quite obvious. They were particularly obvious if you’ve been paying attention to the health of our oceans. The news media occasionally reported the existence of warnings and teachers presented them in their classrooms with wonderful visual aides. When Arctic ice began to melt and polar bears began eating one another, the crisis heightened. Poets wrote poems, painters painted pictures, writers wrote books, businesses traded carbon in the ledgers, scientists issued papers, and rockers rocked out. Hollywood said something suitable, held benefits and its academies handed out awards. Even students wrote essays on the warnings. Some students even earned ‘A’s for their efforts. National politicians did nothing. But what did we really do that mattered? Why not think seriously about the warnings now and do something? Yes, doing something substantial will threaten human hegemony, the outdated and useless paradigm of the two major political parties, and our unsustainable lifestyle. It might change the meaning of

Christmas, too. But we have to act. Jeffers, who lived in a stone fort overlooking the Pacific Ocean, wrote his poems well before the atomic bombs incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Chairman Mao starved 60 million Chinese. Even back then, he said it didn’t matter if humans tried to change their destructive ways because: “Man is a part of nature, but a nearly infinitesimal part; the human race will cease after a while and leave no trace, but the great splendors of nature will go on.” He also wrote about humans: “Their works dissolve.” On the beach with Sonny, I don’t want to believe Jeffers. I want this world to go on for others. I will not resign from humanity and wait for that metallic morning. And neither should you.

coast culture A show worth staying up for

Tillamook’s a pretty relaxed town — the kind of place where you don’t need to dress up to go to the theater. But if you do head to the Barn Community Playhouse this weekend, just be sure not to wear your PJs. You might end up getting dragged on stage to join a chorus line. “The Pajama Gameâ€? takes readers inside the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where sparks are ying over the workers’ demand for a seven-and-a-half-cent pay raise. Based on the novel “7½ Centsâ€? by Richard Bissell, the play is a fast-paced Broadway musical, packed with bright and brassy songs, dance routines and a love story that is positively‌ dreamy. 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 oďŹƒcer “Babeâ€? Williams and John Raitt in the role of factory boss, Sid Sorokin. The score, by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, features hits including “Hey There,â€? “Steam Heatâ€? and “Hernando’s Hideaway.â€? For another two weeks, audiences can see the Tillamook

The fine art of fund-raising

Association for the Performing Arts belt out those splashy numbers in a show where a conict between management and labor turns into a full-blown battle of the sexes. “I think it’s a fun, fun show,â€? Director Kelli 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.â€?

Tickets are now on sale for “Your Heart’s Desire: A Celebration of Chocolate, Wine, and Art,â€? a devilishly decadent evening dedicated to raising funds for a very good cause. Proceeds from the Saturday, Feb. 8, event in PaciďŹ c City will go toward the Art Literacy Program that the Community Arts Project brings to Tillamook County schools. To mark the project’s 25th anniversary, this year’s celebration will feature a special art exhibit and sale, highlighting artwork created by local artists reecting on the theme of change. Most of the pieces will be on three dierent sized birch panels but the show will also feature threedimensional pieces, including sculpture, pottery and

“The Pajama Gameâ€? run continues through Sunday, Feb. 9, with performances at 7 pm on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 7 and 8; and a 2 pm matinĂŠe on Sunday, Feb. 9, all in the Barn Community Playhouse at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook.

The artwork will be for sale from noon until 5 pm at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, with no admission charge. Artists will also be on hand to demonstrate their work from 1 to 3 pm. The art sale will continue at the evening chocolate and wine party, which runs from 6:30 to 10 pm and for which tickets are required. Complimentary wine, beer, sparkling cider, appetizers and desserts will be served during the evening event, which will also include a rae, silent auction, student art and live music. Tickets are $25 advance or $30 at the door. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 503392-4581, email info@communityartsproject.net, or go to www.communityartsproject.net. Currently, Art Literacy Programs are being presented at Nestucca Valley Elementary School in Cloverdale, Garibaldi Grade School and Cedar Creek Child Care Center in Hebo. Each month an age-appropriate 90-minute art education session is conducted in each classroom focusing on a famous artist or art movement. The lesson includes art history, technique and aesthetic analysis, as well as an opportunity for each student to create their own artwork in the style of the artist or art movement presented. More than 450 students are reached every month. The program is privately funded and presented by the Community Arts Project, which also presents the children’s summer art program “Slug Soup.â€?

learn a little

A tide and tested solution The Thursday, Feb 6, meeting of the Mid Coast Watersheds Council in Newport will feature a presentation from engineering specialist Leo Kuntz on how improvements in tide gate technology can help increase salmon habitat. Closing o portions of estuaries to salt water to increase coastal agricultural land also closes o much of the type of environment needed by ďŹ ngerling coho salmon. Working with many dierent salmon restoration groups and organizations, Kuntz has designed, manufactured and installed several tide gates up and down the West Coast. These gates are able to mitigate high tides and allow more water to create more ďŹ sh habitat than previously installed devices could manage. Installations in the Coos Bay area, Tillamook Bay and Northern California have served to restore critical salmon habitat. This has been a very successful partnership with growers and landowners who used to face a choice of tide or no tide on their property. Kuntz, of Nehalem Marine, will present his experience and designs and answer questions. Light snacks will be served. MidCoast Watersheds Council is a Newport-based nonproďŹ t organization dedicated to restoration and protection of watersheds in the central coast area, in Leo Kuntz the context of healthy local communities. The Council meets the ďŹ rst Thursday of each month, at 6:30 pm, at the Central Lincoln PUD, 2129 North Coast Highway in Newport, across the highway from Safeway.

Something well worth the time

The Newport 60+ Activity Center will be oering a six-week mind, body and spirit wellness program entitled Living and Thriving, starting on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Presented by Dr. Dean Shrock, Ph.D, the course will consist of six, two-hour sessions including “How Beliefs, Emotions and Lifestyle Affect Your Health;â€? “How Your Beliefs are Very Powerful Medicine;â€? “How to Manage Stress;â€? “How to Love Yourself;â€? “How to Determine Your Truth and Take Control of Your Life;â€? and “How to Create Your Own Personal Health Plan.â€? While serving as director of mind-body medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer centers, Shrock discovered that joy and peace of mind are essential for good health.

Using humor and common sense, Shrock will guide participants on how to achieve improved health and fulďŹ llment. For more information, go to www.deanshrock. com or www. livingandthriving.com.
