Remembering Sheridan Jones By Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher

Spend a few years on the Oregon Coast and you come to realize that this is a place that attracts amazing people — people who, despite their impressive achievements, shun the limelight and prefer to pursue their passions quietly here on the edge of our state. Last week, the Oregon Coast lost one of its most remarkable residents with the passing of Dr. Sheridan Jones. Jones, who for many years faithfully compiled the coast weather almanac published in these very pages, was a true Renaissance man — a US Army veteran, author, former pilot, artic cartographer and educator. While without a doubt one of the most

interesting men I have ever met, Jones also possessed the rare gift of making those around him feel comfortable rather than intimidated. Conversations with him served to reveal the amazing potential that life holds for us all. Jones was a treasured friend to many in Lincoln City, but his work touched the lives of thousands of people he would never meet, locals and visitors alike, who can all sleep a little sounder in their beds thanks to his eﬀorts. After retiring to the coast, Jones put his cartography experience to use by applying to serve on a committee formed in 1992 to look at coastal natural hazards. That group spent two years developing guidelines for coastal communities and put together the ﬁrst tsunami map of any

from the editor

community on the Oregon Coast. In 1996, Jones took up a voluntary emergency planner position with Lincoln City, working with city staﬀ to create a tsunami plan. A practical man, Jones would hope that people reading this tribute might also take a few moments to make sure that they are prepared for disaster by going to www. lincolncity.org and clicking on the “emergency preparedness” tab. Thank you for your work Dr. Jones. You shall be missed. • A Celebration of Life for Sheridan Jones will be held from 2 to 4 pm on Saturday, Jan. 9, at North Lincoln County Historical Museum, 4907 SE Hwy. 101, Lincoln City.

Lega-see who’s at the library

A bloomin’ marvelous tale A vivid portrait of post-war Africa will come into bloom in Newport on Saturday, Jan. 9, when Oregon Coast author Diana Polisensky talks about her novel, “Whitewashed Jacarandas.” The book is the ﬁrst volume of a quartet describing the burst of development that took place in Southern Rhodesia between the end of World War II and crisis with Britain over the rise of African Nationalism. Based on real events, “Whitewashed Jacarandas” tells the story of Sunny Rubenstein, a doctor who ﬁnds work at a gold mine in Southern Rhodesia. Attached to the mine is Umzimtuti, the smallest municipality in the world. Sunny anticipates a free rein in this backwater, where dread disease is still

commonplace among the Africans, although mostly preventable. But in order to advance the little town, he needs overcome the mine management, the hospital matron and the entrenched mayor. Polisensky was born into a medical family in Southern Rhodesia, during a time when colonialism was still respectable. She crossed the Atlantic as a young woman, ending her career in genetic engineering at Rice University. Now retired, she lives as a recluse on the Oregon Coast. Her free talk will begin at 2 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. For more information, call the library at 541-265-2153 or go to www.newportlibrary.org.

The Oregon Legacy Series will return to Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library on Sunday, Jan. 10, with McMinnville author Anna Keesey kicking off the first of four appearances by writers whose words illuminate the Beaver State. Keesey’s 2012 historical novel “Little Century,” won praise from Paula McLain as a “…novel of stunning beauty… an incredible debut.” A graduate of Stanford University and the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, Keesey is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship and has held residencies at MacDowell, Bread Loaf, Yaddo and Provincetown. Her work has appeared in a number of journals and anthologies, including Best American Short Stories. When not writing, she teaches English and creative writing at Linfield College. The series will continue on Sunday, Jan. 17, when Kathleen Cremonesi will discuss her 2015 memoir, “Love in the Elephant Tent,” which recounts the circuitous route she took to finding her place in the world. In lieu of college, Cremonesi traveled America’s “blue highways” in a VW bus while following The Grateful Dead. When she was ready for a new adventure, she flew off to Europe, where she accidentally joined a circus, fell in love with the Italian elephant keeper, and became an ostrich-riding, shark-taming showgirl while traveling around the Mediterranean. She now lives near Eugene with her husband, and volunteers at a local animal shelter. On Sunday, Jan. 24, series guests will experience very fresh talent in the form of writer Jason Gurley, whose

latest novel “Eleanor,” will have been published just 10 days earlier. A Texas native who lived in Alaska, Nevada, Washington and California before settling in Portland, Gurley has worked as a creative director, an art director, a copywriter and a freelance designer. He began writing “Eleanor” in 2001 and self-published the book in 2014. It has since been picked up by Crown Publishing. The series will conclude on Sunday, Jan. 31, with a visit from Portland author Justin Hocking, whose memoir,

Jason Gurley

“The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld,” won the 2015 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. Hocking served as executive director of the Independent Publishing Resource Center from 2006 to 2014 and is highly active in creative community-building, smallpress publishing and the increasing synthesis of book arts with literary pursuits. His nonfiction and fiction have appeared in publications including the Rumpus, Orion Magazine, The Normal School, Portland Review, The

Portland Noir Anthology, Poets and Writers Magazine, Swap/Concessions and Rattapallax. The Oregon Legacy Series is hosted by the Friends of Driftwood Public Library. The presentations, which are free and open to all, start at 3 pm in the library, located on the second ﬂoor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101.

A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK M

Lauren Kessler getting ready for the show

ost people express a certain amount of disbelief when I confess my fear. “You?” they say. Of all people, brash, direct you? Afraid to get up and speak in front of people? Yes, I conﬁrm. It’s true. I have terrible stage fright. I tremble. My mouth twists into strange contortions and the words come forth all warbley. And then I see the expressions on the poor people in the audience, the looks that say, ‘Oh dear, she IS nervous,’ and well, it just gets worse. With my book coming out, with readings planned here and in New York and LA; Portland and Denver, my hometown back east, this has weighed heavily on me in recent months, and much as I promise to do something about it. I don’t. Oh, I make a stab at it, but then I just sort of let it slide. The truth is I have become one of those people of a certain age who resists trying anything new. Gone is the young woman who routinely changed her hair color from brunette to red to burgundy to black (boy was that a mistake); who picked up and left home for Alaska at the age of 18, leaving behind every single person she ever loved with no actual means of returning. Gone the young woman who, with no formal dance experience, auditioned to teach ballroom dancing and did. Likewise, the 30-something who decided to drive to the border of Mexico to shop, only to ﬁnd herself in Tijuana with no idea how to get back and able to read only the most basic Spanish. I have become a big chicken, content in my comfort zone, unwilling to take risk, hesitant to push any limits. These days, I keep my hair color the same natural brunette with moderate low- and highlights, clipped to the same safe shoulder length tousled

’do. Given the opportunity to head off alone to some wild and wonderful new place, I would no doubt decline, citing the dog or my work or the Friday commitment to my trainer. But I hadn’t really been all that aware of how staid I’ve become until recently when I began reading about Lauren Kessler’s latest book, “Raising the Barre.” The nonfiction tale chronicles her efforts to win a role in the Eugene Ballet Company’s production of “The Nutcracker” four decades after quitting ballet. I picked up a copy, greeting it with a mix of hope, jealousy and, in truth, a smidgeon of shame. What had happened to my spine? In the tale, Kessler details the grueling workouts, endless lessons and utter courage it took to realize her dream. But what spoke to me most was her motivation. The author of numerous award-winning books, a respected writing instructor, mother and wife, the middleaged Kessler had become “itchingly restless.”

“It feels like an alarm clock is going oﬀ, telling me to wake up, get up, and get moving because it is now time to begin the next part of my life,” Kessler writes. “… the hard truth is that I am not built to settle in and slow down. I am not at all tempted to go on autopilot. I am a woman of enthusiasms and new beginnings. … this “middle age,” is a time to grab hold of, to go boldly.” To go boldly! How those words resonated. But where? How? What old dream could I pursue? The truth is there’s always been just that one: to publish my novel. And here I am about to realize that. So now what? Now I just keep writing as I grow old? Of course, that’s when the little bell dinged. It was not the massive undertaking of Kessler’s, but then again, to take the stage, to speak with calm and conﬁdence, to even, dare I hope it, entertain, would be hugely bold for me. It would be my own Nutcracker in a manner of speaking. And so I’ve decided. I will take the stage and I will be fearless. I will be bold. I will even learn to like it. Until then, I have an appointment with my hairdresser, a picture of a new ’do and a vision of a color found only in a box. • If you would like to hear more about Kessler’s journey, join us at the Willamette Writers’ meeting on Sundauy, Jan. 17, at 2 pm at the Newport Public Library.

Free heart screening. Tough to beat. Whatever you throw your heart into this year, make sure it’s in good shape first, with a little help from Samaritan Heath Services. In recognition of American Heart Month, Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute is offering free heart health screenings in Newport and Lincoln City. The Newport screenings will take place on Saturday, Jan. 30, at the new Center for Health Education at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. On Saturday, Feb. 20, screenings will be offered at the Health Professions Education Center in Lincoln City’s Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. In both cases, screenings will run from 8 am to noon. Screenings take about 30 minutes and include a full lipid panel with total cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checks. Copies of test results will be provided so participants can follow up with their primary care provider. Eight hours of fasting is required for accurate test results, and no food or beverages other than water should be consumed after midnight the night before the test. Hearthealthy refreshments will be provided at each screening for people to enjoy after their tests are complete. Registration is required. To schedule an appointment, call 1-855543-2780.

THIS PARTY SCOT POTENTIAL... Tickets are now on sale for the 5th annual Robert Burns Supper, which will take place on Saturday, Jan. 30, at Newport’s Shilo Inn. Hosted by the Newport-based Celtic Heritage Alliance, the evening will pay tribute 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. Burns’ work is 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 supper, which runs from 6 to 10 pm, will celebrate Burns through poetry, song and an array of fine Scottish food and drink. The guest of honor; the mighty haggis, will make its entrance on its fine silver platter, led by a piper. The host 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-a-leekie” 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”. 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 541-961-7696 or go to http://ncfhg. com/burns.php.

POPPIN AND ENJOY THE SHOW Oregon Coast residents normally frown upon umbrellas but are likely to make an exception for a very special brolly-toting guest who will ﬂoat into Newport this Friday. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic ﬁlm, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins” delighted Broadway audiences for more than 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven TONY Awards, including Best Musical. Now Coastal Act Productions brings this practically perfect musical to the Newport Performing Arts Center, with an all-ages cast that pairs young performers with adult actors. The show opens with jack-of-all trades Bert introducing the audience to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before

Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family how to value each other again. Mary takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones whose lives she touches. Even grownups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “anything can happen if you let it.” The show opens on Friday, Jan. 8, with a performance at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. The run continues though Saturday, Jan. 23, with shows at 7 pm on Fridays and 2 pm and 7 pm on Saturdays. Tickets, $12.50 for adults or $10.50 for students and seniors are available by calling 541-265-2787 or online at www.coastarts.org and are subject to box oﬃce fees.

IT UP EXPERIMENTATION KEEPS THE BAY HOUSE THRIVING, IN LINCOLN CITY Stories & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Since taking over The Bay House 10 years ago, it has been as much a journey as a job for owner Steve Wilson, who has made changes based a little bit on instinct and a lot on optimism. Fortunately, things have been coming together in a way he could have only hoped for, as evidenced by the longevity of the restaurant, the repeat business they enjoy, and last year, the award of a four-diamond rating from AAA, making them one of only two restaurants in the state to receive the honor. Steve’s first gamble was the decision to shrink the dining room and add a lounge where smaller, more affordable dinner options would be offered. The lounge has helped transform The Bay House into a place where people are as likely to come to celebrate the end of a workday as they are to mark an anniversary. Although presentation is more casual for lounge dishes, the standard of ingredients and flavor matches that of the meals served in the dining room. Choices

include Maine sea scallops on Pappardelle pasta with white wine butter sauce and fried capers, and the popular Bay House sliders, made with Oregon Wagyu beef, bleu cheese, spiced heirloom tomato jam and fresh potato chips. A house favorite dessert, sold in both the lounge and the dining room, is the bread pudding with toﬀee and house-made vanilla ice cream. The lounge also features a great deal geared toward local residents — the Neighbors to Neighbors menu, which includes a soup or salad, entrée and dessert for $25. Entrées currently include Carlton Farms double-cut pork chop with braised greens, mashed red potatoes, Brussels sprouts and salted caramel apple butter; and a vegetarian option of Israeli couscous with butternut squash, zucchini and broccoli with Tangine spices. Steve also took a chance by not continuing to hire established names when looking for an executive chef and instead decided to grown his own. Soon after coming on board, he recognised the talent of local Kevin Ryan, who started at the restaurant as a high school

intern 11 years ago and worked his way through the ranks to lead the kitchen team. “I tried the famous chef thing, but that really ignores the fact that that’s not what makes a restaurant work,” Steve said. “The fact that I have a guy who’s pretty shy rather than wanting a bunch of attention is great, actually. Sometimes it takes a crowbar to get him out of the kitchen when a customer wants to give him praise, but he grew up in this kitchen and has turned into a fabulous chef who I am really proud of.” To take full advantage of Chef Ryan’s talent, as well as leaving the guesswork out of ordering, try the chef ’s tasting menu, which begins with an amuse-bouche followed by a mesclun salad, then three smaller portions of dishes that are also offered on the regular menu as a single entrée. Although menus items change, current offerings are Maine sea scallop with saffron risotto with sugar snap peas, red bell pepper, brown butter capers and chive oil; Muscovey duck breast with black beans, roasted squash, parsnips, frisee and carrot cardamom puree; and Piedmontese beef

The Bay House bartender Chase Golombek offers a warm welcome

tenderloin with rosti potatoes, broccoli, smoked cherry tomato, caramelized onion puree and sauce hollandaise. The meal is completed with a stunning dessert trio of eggnog cheesecake, ﬂourless chocolate torte and house-made sorbet. Recommended wine pairings are available, which are picked from The Bay House’s extensive and ever-growing wine selection. Some of the newest wine oﬀerings are the result of Steve’s recent short vacation, which

The Neighbors to Neighbors dessert trio

included a trading trip to the Napa Valley. “We brought down some Oregon Pinots,” he said, “and traded them for some really good Napa wines that we will be serving in the restaurant.” The vacation also included a trip to the Oregon’s only other four-diamond restaurant: the Painted Lady in Newberg. “Because the AAA rating is a new recognition for the work the team has been doing I thought it would be fun to

treat the kitchen staﬀ to dinner there,” Steve said, adding: “We had a great time and it was a nice way to get them excited for a new year.” The Bay House is located at 5911 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City, overlooking the Siletz Bay. They are open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 pm, with dinner service in the dining room beginning at 5:30 pm. For more information, call 541-996-3222 or go to www.thebayhouse.org.

7KH 3DFL¿ FD¶V LQ WRZQ &RPH VHD The Neskowin Chamber Music series will continue on Sunday, Jan. 10, with a performance from the Pacifica Quartet, a group known nationally and internationally for its daring repertory choices and its high-spirited performance style. The quartet, made up of faculty members from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and the University of Chicago, started winning competitions soon after its founding in 1994. Notable triumphs include the Naumburg Chamber Music Award, the Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award and the Avery Fisher Career Grant. In 2006, the group appeared on the cover of Gramophone magazine, billed as one of “the five new quartets you should know about.” In 2009, the quartet was named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America. Members play more than 90 concerts a year, performing contemporary music as well as classical works by Brahms, Mozart and Beethoven. Masumi Per Rostad, violist, began his music studies at the age of three at the Third Street Music School Settlement in New York City. He received Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the Julliard School. He is an artistic planner and founder of DoCha, which works in collaboration with University of Illinois community members to experiment with new ways to present chamber music. Sibbi Bernhardsson began playing violin at the age of five in his native Iceland. In addition to his appearances with Pacifica, he has performed at festivals in Edinburgh, Ravinia and Iceland. He has also been on television, including the Tonight Show,

Unleash the power of language at “Lost at See” The intersection of writing and visual art is key to the latest exhibit at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery, a collection of thought-provoking work from Robert Tomlinson. “Lost at See — Experiments in Art & Text” features new works in which Tomlinson mixes text and visual images to explore his fascination with language and the history of English alphabet. The exhibit will open on Friday, Jan. 8, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, giving guests the chance to view the art while enjoying wine, appetizers and an opportunity to meet the artist. The focus of the show will be a 27-panel piece, which began life as “Lost at Sea” — an homage to several artists and writers who died in the ocean, either by accident or suicide. Tomlinson changed the title to “Lost at See,” a metaphor for working in the studio and being lost on a new creative journey. The piece reﬂects Tomlinson’s belief that in order to make a work of art, a person must be willing to cross the threshold of not knowing what they are doing or where they are going. After 40 years of studio activity, Tomlinson has come to realize that he does not want to paint subjects that are familiar. For him, the territory

worth exploring is that which he doesn’t know and can’t understand. In addition to mixed-media paintings, drawings and sculptures, the exhibit will include extracts from various literary sources. This idea is borrowed from the artist Ann Hamilton as a means of declaring the importance of reading as a source for inspiration for the work. Tomlinson has served as executive director and curator for the San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art, Gallery One Visual Arts Center and the Oregon Arts Alliance. He has curated and installed more than 100 exhibitions and created a gallery for the developmentally disabled. As a working artist, Tomlinson has conducted his own studio practice for more than 35 years. In 2011 he co-founded 13 Hats, a group of artists and writers that collaborated for two years on a wide range of creative projects and exhibitions. His work has been featured in 35 solo shows and more than 50 group exhibitions. Currently, Tomlinson is serving on the Monmouth Arts & Culture Commission, Smith Fine Arts Board and as the president of the board for the newly formed Ash Creek

See even more Thanks to a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, the Chessman Gallery is able to offer two additional events centered around Tomlinson’s work.

Friday, Jan. 22 POETRY NIGHT IN THE GALLERY

The evening will begin with an artist’s talk and readings by Tomlinson and then more poetry in homage to inspirational poets by Margaret Donsbach, Patty Siberz, John Fiedler and more. 5:30 to 7 pm.

A SHOW WITH FLOW The Honoring Our Rivers project is coming to the Oregon Coast, with an exhibit of student writing and artwork at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The show will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Jan. 8, featuring a talk from a project representative at 6:30 pm. Established in 2000, the Honoring Our Rivers project showcases writing and artwork from Oregon students focused on rivers and watersheds. From poetry, prose and fiction to illustration and photography, students from throughout Oregon submit their work to a juried-review process. Finalists appear before the public in an annual printed anthology and at exhibits, events and readings. Student work has been published alongside invited and well-known Oregon authors and visual artists such as Ursula Le Guin, Kim Stafford, Kathleen Dean Moore, Jon Raymond and Carlos Reyes, among many others. “We are excited to host this long-time, venerable and statewide student artwork project,” center Director Tom Webb said. “Honoring Our Rivers benefits every student who submits and the exhibit at the VAC should generate more submissions from coastal students. The project also dovetails with the new Art Fridays youth artslearning program at the VAC, and we will be encouraging students to submit through the Art Fridays classes.” The Honoring Our Rivers exhibit will be on display until Jan. 30 in the Upstairs Gallery of the center at 777 NW Beach Drive, available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

Jump in Honoring Our Rivers is accepting student submissions until Jan. 31.

Get schooled on salmon Get the dirt on dirt There’s no doubt about it — the salmon’s ability to navigate its way from freshwater streams to the depths of the ocean and back again marks it as one of the toughest and most adaptable creatures around. But how well will this adaptability serve the iconic fish in the uncharted waters of changing climatic conditions? Answers to this and more will be forthcoming on Saturday, Jan. 9, when the Cape Perpetua Winter Discovery Series continues with a presentation from Dr. Rebecca Flitcroft, a fish biologist with the U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station. Flitcroft’s presentation, “Survival in Times of Change: Climate and Salmon of the Oregon Coast Range,” delves into the dynamic genetic lineage of salmon to unearth clues that might provide for adaptations necessary to the species’ survival. Flitcroft’s research focuses on aquatic systems from river headwaters to the ocean. Her analysis bridges the connection of stream networks and estuaries to the aquatic species that depend upon them. The presentation will begin at 2 pm in the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, located at 2400 S. Hwy. 101, three miles south of Yachats. The presentation is free and open to all but a Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Passport or $5 day-

use fee is required within the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. For more information, call 541-5473289. • The Winter Discovery Series will continue at 2 pm on Saturday, Jan. 16, with a talk from Paul Engelmeyer,

director of Portland Audubon’s Ten Mile Creek coastal conservation program. With its protected coastal rainforest and marine reserve, Cape Perpetua will provide an appropriate backdrop for Engelmeyer’s presentation on land and sea conservation issues.

Soil will be in the spotlight when the Lincoln County Master Gardeners group kicks oﬀ its 2016 Round Table series on Thursday, Jan. 14. In a presentation entitled “The Dirt on Dirt,” Master Gardeners Sally Reill and Claudette Schroeder will dig deep into the oft-overlooked substance, which is essential for the growth of crops, the development of forests and the sustainability of our planet. “Soil is a complex, living aggregate of minerals, bacteria, fungi and arthropods working together to provide nutrients available for healthy plants,” Reill said. “A beautiful, productive garden begins and continues with good soil,” Schroeder added. “Micro-organisms, structure, composition and pH are important and understandable to the home gardener.” The pair will cover preparation of soil for seed planting, improvement of soil fertility and — perhaps most importantly of all — the maintenance of soil over time. “After decades of gardening,” Reill said, “I have come to believe that the

single most important key to gardening success is building healthy soil.” The presentation will run from 10 am to noon in the lower conference room of the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Admission is free but participants should call the OSU Extension oﬃce at 541574-6534 to ensure adequate seating and materials. • Upcoming Round Tables this winter will include “Bees and Bee Keeping” and “Best Vegetables to Grow on the Coast.” Master Gardeners are available by phone or email at the Extension Oﬃce each week to answer gardening questions and provide assistance.

On the trail of odd ducks The Audubon Society of Lincoln City birders will be keeping their eyes peeled for unusual specimens on Saturday, Jan. 9, when they embark on a birding tour of Newport’s Yaquina Estuary. The area regularly hosts thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds — but recent winter storms could result in some unusual sightings. Last January, birders saw harlequin and other diving ducks, loons, phalaropes, gulls and rocky shore shorebirds. Previous years sightings have included swans and geese in addition to winter residents along the nature trail. The trip oﬀers short easy walks to viewing areas, with the group walking the nature path that begins at Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center parking lot and then driving to a south jetty overlook. No prior birding experience is required and

binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Participants should meet at 9 am in the parking lot of the Hatfield Marine Science Center on SE Marine Science Drive. Audubon Society of Lincoln City offers free birding field trips with experienced trip leaders on the second Saturday of most months during the year. Beginning birders are welcome. Binoculars and guidebooks are available for those who don’t have their own, and carpooling is usually an option. For upcoming field trip descriptions, go to http://lincolncityaudubon.org/calendar.html, and mark your calendar for the group’s next birding field trip — a Saturday, Feb.13, birding walk through the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, starting at 9 am. For more information, call 541-994-9330.

Seasoned to

perfection Spice up your New Year with “Seasonal Allergies” in Lincoln City Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

If you made it through the holiday season unscathed, take a deep breath and then head to Lincoln City’s Theatre West to experience it all over again, only this time your only investment will be the price of a ticket. Katherine Di Savino’s very funny play “Seasonal Allergies” uses the backdrop of the winter holiday season to help heighten the action while tackling an ageold question about family: how can someone you love so much still drive you so crazy? Julie Fiedler plays Julia, a woman trying not to blow her top when her down-in-thedumps brother, Pete, played by Shelby Barton, moves into her home and proceeds to act less as a brother than a peer to Julia’s young daughter, Charlie, played with impressive energy and effectiveness by Fiedler’s real-life daughter, Hazel. Chloe Hansen and Ren Jacob play Alison and J.D., ever-present friends who help entertain Charlie and Julia’s husband Thomas, played by Justin Burns. They also work unsubtly to fix up Shelby with neighbor Emily, played by Roseanne Johnson. The scenes move through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, twice using a montage to show the passage of time. “When I read that I said, ‘Oh yeah,’” said director Stina Seeger-Gibson. “It was definitely something I wanted to try and I think we did it beautifully.”

This is the third production of a work by Di Savino at Theatre West; the other two were “Nana’s Naughty Knickers” and “Things My Mother Taught Me.” “She sent me ‘Nana’s Naughty Knickers’ three years ago and I fell in love with it,” Seeger-Gibson said. “We’ve obviously responded well. She’s actually writing a sequel to it, which we will deﬁnitely do. I’m sure she has relationships with a lot of little places but she’s been very charming with us and is excited about us doing her work.” The show’s cast includes a pair of Di Savino veterans, with Barton and Fiedler having appeared in “Things My Mother Taught me.” “I played a similarly uptight and sentimental character,” Fiedler said. “I think I’m starting to be typecast.” While Fiedler was playing scenes with her onstage husband,

Thomas, her real-life husband, John, wasn’t far away; he stepped in to act as a backstage assistant manager while manager Mallory Migliaccio was out of town. Also stepping in to help for the ﬁrst few performances was regular Robin Kirsch in the role of Alison. “Robin was fabulous as always,” Fiedler said. “But Chloe stepped seamlessly into the role.” Although this is her ﬁrst performance on the Jack Coyne stage, Hazel, who will be turning nine during the play’s run, got drama experience while she attended Neskowin Valley School and now at St. James Santiago School, where Kaline Klaas teaches drama class. “I like acting,” she said. “And it’s fun to do it with my mom. But I do get really tired at the end of the night. It sucks a lot out of you, but

it’s still really fun.” Being tired at the end of the night might be caused by the karate moves she employs during the show. “I kinda taught myself karate,” she said. “I have no idea how to do it so I just do what I think will look accurate.” Seeger-Gibson also had fun directing the pint-sized thespian. “I love working with kids,” she said, “because they know the whole show.”

Seasonal Allergies plays every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through January 23. Doors open at 7 pm and performances begin at 7:30 pm. Tickets, $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, and $9 for children 12 and under, are available by calling 541-994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City.
