t was bound to happen sooner or later. Last week, I opened up one of the many press releases we receive on a daily basis here at TODAY Towers only to see my own face staring back at me — goofy smile and all.

cliff notes commentary by Lori Tobias

p. 19

It was a release announcing my upcoming class for budding freelancers, “Be a hero, not a headache,” which will take place on Sunday, June 15, at Newport Public Library. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Chapter of Willamette Writers, the class will look at the three questions that plague every independent wordsmith: “What should I write about?” “How should I write it?” and — most crucially of all — “How do I keep my editor happy?” Here at the TODAY, we are blessed with a crop of Patrick Alexander freelancers who are willing to take on just about any topic, Editor & Publisher whether it’s horse riding on the beach, sailing on a pirate ship or even swimming with sharks. A good freelancer is worth her weight in gold. During my own brief experience as a freelancer while living in Edinburgh, Scotland, I was probably worth tin, or maybe copper on a good day. But in my years of commissioning and editing news and features, I have gathered a few insights about what freelance writers can do to grab an editor’s attention, exceed their expectations and keep them coming back for more. Students at Sunday’s class will receive tips on how to use their strengths, minimize their weaknesses and write original, compelling and marketable features time after time. They should come prepared to think, write and comment on each other’s work. The class, which is absolutely free and worth every cent, will run from 2 to 4 pm at the library, 35 NW Nye Street.

The

CONTROL PANEL A chance to meet the creative forces guiding the future of coastal theater

The creative forces behind three shows making their world premieres at the Oregon Coast this summer will be sharing their visions in a panel discussion at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Sunday, June 15. Discussion about the creative process will be followed by the performance of some vignettes chosen by the authors to showcase their works. The by-donation event is a fund-raiser for the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts’ “Entertain the Future!” campaign, which aims to raise $4.3 million to ensure the performing arts center is ﬁt to serve future generations. For two of the panelists, 22 year-old writer Carly Bryann Young and her sister, 20 yearold performer Audrey Bryann Young, the center was the ﬁrst place they headed when they arrived in Newport. “It is such a beautiful theatre,” Carly said. “We got to see some demonstrations and shows, and were really amazed by the level of talent in singing, dancing, and performance art. It was reassuring to know that we had settled in a place where people were creative.” Carly’s original stage play, “Mary Shelley: Frankenstein Unbound,” will premiere at the center in August, with Audrey playing the title role of Mary Shelley. The play tells the real-life story of melancholy teenage writing prodigy Mary,

who runs away with her lover, radical poet and science enthusiast Percy Shelley. Mary’s naive aspiring-starlet stepsister, Claire, tags along, leading them to the retreat of her idol, bad-boy celebrity writer Lord Byron. Together, they form a group of intellectuals who call themselves ‘The Elect’. When Byron issues a challenge to write a frightening story, Mary weaves their personalities and her own tragic experiences into a literary patchwork. But her creation also foreshadows things to come, for the very people who have given her inspiration will become sources of heartbreak — and tragedy. The panel will also include the father-andson team behind “The Black Tulip,” a musical adapted from the Alexander Dumas book of the same name. Written by Brian Hanna with music by his son Jacob, the musical is set in 1670s Holland, where opposing political forces clash over control of the future of their country. An innocent tulip fancier, Cornelius von Baerle lives only to cultivate the elusive black tulip and is unwittingly caught in the crossﬁre of political intrigue. Falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival, Cornelius is condemned to life in prison. His only comfort is Rosa, the jailer’s beautiful daughter, who helps him concoct a plan to grow the black tulip in secret.

Brian Hanna, who teaches math and physics at Newport High School has raised a family on the coast for the past 20 years. He said he wrote “The Black Tulip” to see how serious Jacob was about pursuing music as a career. Jacob is a graduating senior at Newport High School, valedictorian, drum major, and IB Diploma candidate. He will be studying Commercial Music this fall at Brigham Young University and hopes to one day write music scores professionally. He began his music career playing trumpet in middle school and continues today, guided by band director John Bringetto. “The Black Tulip” will premiere in June, presented by Coastal Act Productions. Rounding out the panel is Milo Graamans, creator of “She Loves Me Not,” an original musical that will premiere at the center in July, telling the story of a young woman who introduces her college boyfriend to her family the day before she comes out as a lesbian. Graamans wrote the book, music, and lyrics for the show, which will be directed by Carl Foster Miller and produced by Wyma Rogers for Porthole Players.

Having studied classical piano at the University of Oregon School of Music, Graamans dropped out of college to become involved again in the Newport theatre community, where he has been active oﬀ and on since 2009. He is currently the organist at the Yachats Community Presbyterian Church and also accompanies the Central Coast Chorale. Sponsored by Toby Murry Toyota/ Toyota Northwest, the by-donation panel discussion will start at 2 pm in the Alice Silverman Theatre of the center, 777 W. Olive Street. For more information call 541-265ARTS (2787), go towww.coastarts.org or email OCCA Executive Director Catherine Rickbone at crickbone@coastarts.org. Tickets and performance dates can be found at coastarts.org or by calling the PAC Box Oﬃce at 541-265-ARTS (2787).

Dublin down on “Ulysses”

Bloomsday Emcee Ed Cameron at the James Joyce statue in Dublin

It is an inspiration to all who work in journalism that a nearly-700-page novel about a short, shy newspaper advertising salesman walking around town on his sales calls could become one of the world’s most celebrated works of literature. But saying James Joyce’s “Ulysses” is about an ad salesman is a bit like saying that “Casablanca” is about an African nightclub. Joyce’s groundbreaking work takes readers inside every thought that passes through the head of his humble hero, Leopold Bloom,

as he makes his way through Dublin on June 16, 1904. As Bloom explores the city’s nooks and crannies, Joyce presents a literary tour de force that has fascinated readers and scholars ever since. And, on Wednesday, June 18, some of those admirers will gather at Newport’s Café Mundo for Bloomsday, the annual celebration of Joyce’s masterpiece that is observed across the world. June and Joren Rushing will lead oﬀ an evening of nine local women writers presenting episodes from the book’s once-

condemned “Molly Bloom Soliloquy.” The soliloquy is one of the main reasons “Ulysses” was banned for obscenity in the 1920s. The book remained prohibited in the U.S. until 1933, when a landmark judgment ruled it “honest.” Readings will be performed by Orpha Barry, Caroline Bauman, Patsy Brookshire, Rebecca Cohen, Cindy Jacobi, Carla Perry, Catherine Rickbone and Wyma Rogers. The Bloomsday celebration will begin at 7 pm at Café Mundo, 209 NW Coast Street.

STORIES on stage The witty, wise and remarkable short stories of Newport’s own Richard Kennedy will be presented on stage at Café Mundo this month, as Teatro Mundo returns for its summer season starting Thursday, June 19. Regarded by many as one of the great Oregon — and American — writers of his generation, Kennedy never enjoyed the fame or the fortune of Oregon writers such as Ken Kesey or Barry Lopez, perhaps in part because most of his stories were published originally as illustrated children’s books. The 1987 publication of a hardcover edition aimed at adult readers won Kennedy high praise from the national School Library Journal. “The republication of these 14 stories and 2 narrative poems should attract the kinds of critical accolades and readers’ attention which have been oddly absent from Kennedy’s career to date,” the reviewer wrote. “ For make no mistake about it: these stories published individually from 1974 to 1981 and collected here for the ﬁrst time clearly establish him as a major author with a unique voice.” The stories on oﬀer at Teatro Mundo have been adapted for the stage by Kennedy himself, with Café Mundo owner Greg Card producing and directing. The two-week run will open on Thursday, June 19, with performances at 6 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Saturday, June 28 at Café Mundo 209 NW Coast Street, Newport. The free shows will take place in the café’s courtyard, where there is ample seating, some sheltered, as well as outdoor food and beverage service. For more information, call 541-574-8134.

An exhibit that will push your buttons

Mr. and Mrs. Rare Button. How curious.

Put your hands together for this cast The prayers of comedy fans have been answered. “The Hallelujah Girls” is continuing its three-week run in Tillamook this weekend. The latest production from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts, the play tells the story of six women from Eden Falls, Georgia, who decide to make a life change and pursue their dreams after the loss of a close friend. Sugar Lee Thompkins, played by Debbie Coon, rallies her friends together and convinces them it’s never too late to change their destiny and improve their lives. The women, played by Ann Harper, Becki Wilhelm, Laurie Caspell and Diane Kreider, reluctantly agree to help their friend transform an old, abandoned church into a day spa. Things get more complicated with the entrance of an ex-love played by Richard Coon, a suitor played by Garrick Gordon, and

the wickedly sweet town villain, played by Joni Sauer-Folger. Written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, the play is the seventh outing in the director’s chair for Robert Buckingham, whose previous shows include “The Mousetrap,” “A Fine Monster You Are!” and last summer’s hit “Sherlock’s Secret Life.” “The Hallelujah Girls” run will continue through Sunday, June 22, with 7 pm performances every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées on Sunday, June 15 and 22. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. All performances will take place at the Barn Community Playhouse, located at 12th & Ivy in Tillamook. Tickets, $15 for adults and $10 for seniors or students, are on sale at Diamond Art Jewelers in Tillamook. Call 503-842-7940 for details.

The head of an angry wolf eel; wax that generates music; and mysterious copper hardware are among the peculiar objects now on display at the Lincoln County Historical Society’s Burrows House Museum in Newport. The “Coastal Curiosities” exhibit features a range of unusual objects selected by curator Sachiko Otsuki for a variety of reasons. First, she said, there are objects once commonplace that are now unidentiﬁable to all but a few people of a certain age. Then there are the natural oddities often found on the beaches of the Central Coast. Lastly, there are the things that are, well… just plan weird. “These odd objects are more than just curiosities,” she said, “they also shed some light on the history of the Central Oregon Coast, the evolution of technology, as well as human nature our fascination for the out-of-the ordinary.” “Coastal Curiosities” will be on display through the end of the year at the museum, 545 SW Ninth Street, and is available to view from 11 am to 4 pm Thursday through Sunday. Admission is by donation. A companion exhibit of the same name is on display through the end of the year at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum in Lincoln City. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

See un-trained birds During the years that the Pixieland amusement park operated just north of Lincoln City, we can assume that local bird life might have been a little put off by the regular joyrides offered by the park’s resident small-gauge train, Little Toot. Both park and train are now distant memories and, on Saturday, June 14, the Audubon Society of Lincoln City will offer the chance to see how the birds are enjoying the peace and quiet. Mark Elliott will lead a guided walk to the Tamara Keys and Pixieland restoration sites on the Salmon River,

Osprey in flight by Jody Picconi

giving participants the chance to see the waterfowl, song birds and raptors that have returned to these sites following completion of restoration projects during the past few years. Birders on last year’s visit to the area spotted 32 species. The walk marks the

40th anniversary of the 1974 Cascade Head Scenic Research Area Act, which established protections for the area and began the 40-year restoration process. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Participants should dress for the weather. Walkers should meet at 9 am, parking on Frazier Road oﬀ Highway 101 just north of the junction with Highway 18 and just before the highway crosses the Salmon River. For more information, go to http://lincolncityaudubon. org/calendar.html

One fish, two fish, free fish The Nature Conservancy is looking for volunteers to help remove barbed wire fencing from around Kilchis River near Tillamook Bay on Saturday, June 21, improving habitat for Chinook, chum and coho salmon. Kilchis River flows in to the southeast corner of the bay, and the tidal wetlands offer flat terrain for volunteers to work on. Work will run from 10 am to 4 pm, with participants expected to hike 1 to 2 miles over the course of the day.

Participants should bring rubber boots or hiking shoes, a day pack, lunch and snacks, a full water bottle, layers of clothing including rain gear, a hat and sunscreen as well as leather gloves and eye protection if available. If not, some gloves and safety glasses are available to borrow. Registration is required. For more information or to register, call 503-802-8100 or email orvolunteers@tnc.org.

The complexities of research into the world’s melting glaciers and the dedication of the scientists who devote their lives to studying them are the subject of a documentary that will premiere at Newport’s Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center on Wednesday, June 18. “Greenland’s Glaciers,” follows a team of physical oceanographers on a voyage to Western Greenland to study two glaciers in adjacent fjords, one of which is melting while the other is holding steady. The 20-minute ﬁlm is the work of Saskia Madlener, a master’s student in Marine Resource Management at Oregon State University who had never been to sea before she joined the scientists on their 2013 expedition. “I really want people to feel connected to the three scientists I have chosen to document,” she said, “ but also to life on the boat,

No need to stop the starts Portland garden author and horticultural therapist Patty Cassidy will give tips on how to enjoy gardening at all stages of life when she visits the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum on Saturday, June 14. The latest guest in the museum’s Great Speaker Series, Cassidy will present a free talk entitled “Successful Gardening Patty Cassidy As We Age” at 1 pm. Cassidy is a registered horticultural therapist through the American Horticultural Therapy Association and sits on its national board. She is also president of the Friends of the Portland Memory Garden in Ed Benedict Park and currently works with frail elders, the memory-impaired and at-risk children. She is the author of “The Illustrated Practical Guide to Gardening for Seniors,” published in the fall of 2011. The museum is located at 2106 2nd Street. For more information, call 503-842-4553.

to the research, and of course the place — the fjords, the town of Uummannaq, the icebergs, and the glaciers. We get an intimate view of this in just 20 minutes, and hopefully that will have a small but poignant impact on people’s understanding of the Greenland ice sheet.” The team of scientists Madlener accompanied hailed from Oregon State University, University of Oregon, University of Washington and The Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Funded by NASA, the researchers proposed that although there are very apparent climatic inﬂuences on the Greenland ice sheet, the ocean might play a more signiﬁcant role on glacier melting. The premiere, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 6 pm in the Visitor Center Auditorium, 2030 SE Marine

Of course it’s about whalebones The plight of whales in the South Atlantic Ocean will be the topic of the Saturday, June 14, meeting of the American Cetacean Society’s Oregon chapter in Newport. Angie Sremba, a PhD student at OSU Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center, will present “Beached Bones: Exploring the impact of exploitation on the great whale populations of South Georgia.” Sremba has performed DNA analysis of bones from the whaling stations at the South Atlantic island of South

Georgia where more than 175,000 whales were killed. From this data set, she identiﬁed species and genetic diversity with comparisons to contemporary whale populations. The presentation will start at 1 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street For more information, contact chapter president Joy Primrose at marine_lover4ever@yahoo.com or 541-517-8754.

McQuiddy’s book “Here on the Edge” tells how artists and writers from across the country chose to take a condition of penance — compulsive labor for refusing to serve in the military — and

put it to conservation ends at Civilian Public Service Camp # 56, now known as Angell Job Corps. After the war, camp members participated in the San Francisco “Poetry Renaissance” of the 1950s with Beat Generation writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, who in turn inspired Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, leading the way to the radical upheavals and massive peace

movements of the 1960s. Twenty years in the making, McQuiddy’s work is packed with original research and more than 80 photographs. The talk and slide show will begin at 6:30 pm at the commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge but a $5 donation is requested to cover publicity expenses.

Give the center some attention With games, crafts and a whole host of activities on offer every day of the week, the Lincoln City Senior Center offers a pretty sweet deal for just $10 a year. But to sweeten the deal even further, senior center regulars will be serving up strawberry shortcake at the facility’s open house this weekend. The volunteer-run center will throw open its doors from 1 to 3 pm on Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14. Located inside the Lincoln City Community Center at 2150 NE Oar Place, the senior center offers people over 50 a place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a snack, play a game of pool, work on a computer or pick up a book or video from the free lending library. Groups gather regularly to play bridge, pinochle, dominos, Bunco and mahjong. Meanwhile, Nu-2-U shelves offer members the chance to find a gently used item at a modest price. The center is also home to a dedicated group of quilters who make everything from Christmas stockings and dog beds to cancer caps; with much of the output donated back to the community The quilters meet from 10 am to 3 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and beginners are welcome. From September through May, the Lincolnaires, a musical group that performs for retirement and senior care homes, meets at 10 am on Tuesdays. Singers don’t need to be professionally talented, just enthusiastic and fond of golden oldies. Meals on Wheels provides a meal for seniors on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon and the Driftwood Public Library stops in once a week to make books available. Diners can make requests for a certain book to be delivered the following week. There is also the opportunity to join a group of senior line dancers who practice three times a week in the community center gym. A Lincoln County Veterans Affairs representative is available from 10 am to noon the first Thursday of the month. And, four times a year, the entire membership is invited to attend a potluck members’ dinner, with guest speakers. The senior center is open from 8 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday; 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays; and noon to 4 pm on Sundays.

Summer is

COVERED The Adult Summer Reading Club is returning to Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library for a third year, with sign ups starting Monday, June 16. Each member of the club, which is open to anyone aged 18 or over, will receive a logbook to track their reading through the summer. For every book read, participants can enter a coupon toward the grand prize drawing in September. For every five books read, participants can choose a stress toy; while 15 books earns a nylon book bag, with four designs to choose from. The first 35 readers to complete 30 books win a canvas tote bag sporting an all-new design. To kick off this year’s club, the library will present a talk by Daniel H. Wilson, author of the New York Times’ bestseller “Robopocalypse,” at 3 pm on Sunday, June 29. Wilson is a television host, robotics engineer and has written many books on robotics, both fiction and nonfiction, including “How to Survive a Robot Uprising.” He will sign copies of his books after the talk and copies of his latest work, “Robogenesis,” will be available to buy. The event, which is open to all, will

also feature a bookseller from Bob’s Beach Books. The reading club will conclude in midto late-September with a second author visit, details of which will be announced later in the summer.

Pop in to Tillamook for the Cork & Brew Tour Downtown Tillamook will be cracking open something a little special on Friday, June 20, as the inaugural Cork & Brew Tour gets underway. The evening of wine and beer tastings, locally made hors d’oeuvres and live music is organized by the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, which aims to make the event an annual summer ﬁxture. “It’s a great community event that encourages people to get outside and enjoy downtown in the summer time,” said chamber Executive Director Justin Aufdermauer. “A lot of people don’t even know what our downtown has to oﬀer so this is a fun way to encourage people to explore downtown and maybe visit a shop or a store they wouldn’t normally.” The launch party begins at 4:30 pm at the Pelican Brewery & Tap Room at 102 Stillwell

A contestant at last year’s games on his way to turning the caber

It’s a stick. UP. Give your weekend a lift with the Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

ith the vote on Scottish independence less than three months away this writer is keeping his big mouth shut about whether his home country should cut the ties with Great Britain and go it alone. But you can bet that opinions will be ﬂying thick and fast in Newport this weekend as the Celtic Festival & Highland Games returns for a fourth year of celebrating the cultures of all

seven Celtic nations. And opinions are not all that will be ﬂying. The games will see seasoned athletes and rank beginners alike ﬂinging heavy objects of almost every type through the air, ranging from stones, hammers and sheafs of hay to the iconic — and enormous — caber itself. While raw power is certainly handy for all nine events in the games, muscle alone is not enough. To succeed at the caber toss, participants must show accuracy by getting the massive log to turn endover-end through the air and land pointing directly away from them. Those who successfully turn the caber will get the chance to try their hand at the even larger Clan McLaren Challenge Caber and the chance to win a $100 prize.

While many of the competitors have a build that suggests they do this kind of thing for a living, beginners are welcome to have a go, too — with special categories in place for novices, women and men who weigh less than 200 pounds. Space permitting, people can sign up on the day of the games. If all that heaving and grunting just gives you an appetite, you have come to the right place. While the seven Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Galicia, Brittany and the Isle of Man have been known to have spirited disagreements from time to time, they do all share a profound love of food. Celtic food and drink will be on oﬀer at the marketplace, which features more than 60 vendors, selling crafts, jewelry, clothing and more. The festival, held at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds, will begin at 9 am on Saturday, June 14, with a Celtic Heritage Parade led by the Eugene Highlanders Pipe Band and featuring everything from performers

A ginger fringe You have to watch those Celts — give them an inch and they take a mile. The festival is overﬂowing on to Friday, June 13, with several events on offer at the Friday Fringe. At 2 pm, runners with two legs or four will take part in the Kilted Kilometer Fun Run at Nye Beach. Registration is by donation to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and kilts are available to borrow. The run will be followed at 3 pm by a free Sand Castle Contest also at Nye Beach. From 6 to 9 pm there will be a ceilidh or Celtic dance at Sam Case Elementary School, 459 NE 12th Street. $5 for adults; $3 for kids, under 7s free. The Friday Fringe will end with Piping Down the Sun, a free gathering of pipers, ﬁddlers and dancers at 8:45 pm at Nye Beach. The Celtic fashion show

and Celtic-breed dogs to any redheads that organizers can get their hands on. The entertainment will continue throughout the weekend, with pipe bands, Celtic dancing, historical re-enactments and demonstrations of sheepdog herding. Guests curious about their own Celtic heritage can trace their ancestry at one of the many clan booths set up throughout the fairgrounds. Several stages will offer music throughout the festival, with headliners 1916 taking to the stage at 12:45 pm each day and again at 5 pm on Saturday. Hailing from Bakersfield, California, the group has carved its own niche in the Celtic music scene, with influences including Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy. Other performers include Newport’s own Kym Jacobson and Bill Peterson on Highland bagpipes; Kevin Carr on pipes and fiddle; and Portland’s Na Rosai, who perform traditional Irish, Appalachian,

Scottish and Breton tunes. While these performers undoubtedly all boast legs just as lovely as their music, the real prime patellas will be on display at 2 pm on Saturday when the Bonnie Knees Contest takes to the stage. Grab a seat and prepare to wolf whistle — or better yet, don your kilt and make a bid for the title yourself. Later that day, the same stage will play host to the Haggis Eating Competition and, on Sunday afternoon, a Celtic fashion show guaranteed to put plaid to any notions that the old country lacks style. For kids, a Sprogs’ Corner will offer free arts and crafts activities as well as face painting and storytelling. Wee ones will also get the chance to try their hand at the Mini Highland Games, with events including the Mini Caber Toss, the Braemar Stone Put and the irresistibly named Sheep Toss. The games will run from 9 am to 7 pm on Saturday, June 14, and 9 am to 5 pm on Sunday, June 15, at the fairgrounds, 880 NE 7th Street. Day tickets are $12 for adults; $9 for students, seniors and military; or $40 for a family four pack. Weekend tickets are also on offer for $18, $13 and $60 respectively. All proceeds from the festival will support the Celtic Heritage Alliance in its efforts to preserve Celtic culture on the Oregon Coast.

Hoping for floats Putting together the annual Gleneden Beach Fourth of July Parade is far from child’s play but organizers are hoping to see more kids making their way along the parade route this year as the celebration returns for its 20th year. The parade, which runs along Gleneden Beach Loop and through the town’s back streets, attracts about 100 entries and between 3,000 and 4,000 spectators every year. “As it has grown, the floats have become more professional; and that’s fine,” said parade chair Louise Cremeen. “But this started out as a kids parade.” This year, Cremeen has made some changes to return the celebration to its child-friendly roots — cutting a number of adult prizes and bringing in more awards for kids. “As people got weird it was getting to be a competition between the adults” she said, “and that’s not what it’s about.” This year’s five kids’ categories are: Most Creative; Best Bike; Best Animal; 9-and-under Individual; and 10-14 Individual. In addition to a trophy, winners will

receive tickets for local attractions including Oregon Coast Aquarium; Game Over Arcade, Delake Bowl and All American Putt N Bat. Each will receive two tickets except for the winner of the Most Creative award, who will receive four. Entrants can sign up as late as the day of the parade but organizers would prefer participants to register in advance by going to http://glenedenbeach.org and following the link for 4th of July. This year’s parade will also feature pony rides at Blake’s Nursery at a cost of $5 or ﬁve cans of food, all of which goes to the local food pantry. The day starts with pancake breakfast at the Gleneden Beach Community Center 8 to 11 am. Vendors will set up in an art and craft fair outside the Post Oﬃce from 9 am to 3 pm. The parade itself begins at 1 pm and takes roughly an hour to make its way along the main drag and then loop through the back streets. Cremeen said organizers are also on the lookout for a band to take part in the parade. Interested parties should call her at 541-764-3203.

Ten weeks for teens Newport Public Library has announced the line up of activities for its 2014 Teen Summer Program, which will offer monthly get-togethers for teen readers and the chance to win prizes by taking part in the 10-week reading contest. The program will kick off on Thursday, June 19, with a celebration of ingenuity in “Catapults and Contraptions.” Participants will get to use rubber bands, craft sticks to make multiple models of catapults, hovercrafts and other zany contraptions before moving on to target practice. On Thursday, July 17, the group will celebrate the upcoming movie release of “Maze Runner,” based on the novel by James Dashner, by creating a variety of mazes and racing mini robots through them. The final summer get-together will be the ever-popular Henna Party on Thursday, Aug. 21, with guest artist Lyn Getner. All the events are free for teens aged 12 to 18 and are held from 3:45 to 5:30 pm downstairs in the McEntee Room of the library, 35 NW Nye Street. And throughout the summer, teens can read their way toward prizes in the 10-week reading contest. Teen readers earn raffle tickets based on their community volunteer hours as well as for reading books, magazines or e-books; reading aloud to others; or writing book reviews. Prize drawings will begin Friday, June 20. Readers can sign up at the Newport Public Library front desk, with all participants receiving a record book to track their reading and volunteer activity. For more information, call 541-265-2153.

Prepare for a slugfest

The Community Arts Project in Tillamook County will be serving up another bowl of Slug Soup this summer as the children’s art day camp returns for a 19th year. The popular program oﬀers kids from preschool through 12th grade the chance to experience new art forms, learn from local artist instructors, make new friends and celebrate their creativity in a fun-ﬁlled week of workshops from Monday, June 23, through Friday, June 27. “Slug Soup is a place where kids can come be creative in ways that are

different from regular school,” said program coordinator Kim Cavatorta, adding: “The program emphasizes process over product and students take home a memorable experience as well as their masterpieces. It’s a wonderful, fun-filled way to spend a summer week.” The program, held at Nestucca Jr/ Sr High School in Cloverdale, offers 16 classes, including two preschool options for children aged 3 to 5 that will focus on paper art. Topics for older students will include basic art with a variety of media, illustrating songs, famous

artist painting techniques, watercolor painting, colorful crafts, calligraphy, fabric art, sculpture, drawing, photography, ﬁne paper-cutting,

puppet-making and songwriting. At the end of the week, family and community members are invited to join Slug Soup participants for a celebration of the week’s creativity. The party, which will run from 2:30 to 3:30 pm on Friday, June 27, at the school, will feature artwork exhibits, performances and refreshments.

Let the dogs out. Every pooch can be a star at Lincoln City’s Mutt Masters By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

he variety of dog breeds today is almost mind-boggling, from ones that could fit in your pocket to those that look fit for a saddle. But one thing never changes; if you are a dog owner, you probably think yours is the best. On Saturday, June 14, at the Mutt Masters Dog Show & Olympics hosted by the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, you will be able to enter your best friend into competitions for talents you might not even know they have. If your perfect pooch can’t quite pull off a prizewinning Frisbee catch, how about best tail wag? Or, should your canine companion be attacked by performance anxiety, there is the best shedder contest, where the human does all the work and the dog just, well, stands there and enjoys a good brushing. “The competition stuff is pretty easy,” volunteer coordinator Sue Giles Green said. “Like the best tail wag, it’s just not that hard. We have three judges; and they take their jobs seriously, but I think

everyone who participates realizes it’s not an exact science.” Other categories include unusual pet trick, best dressed, look-alikes and sweetest smoocher. The top three winners in each category receive a prize bag filled with a variety of dog-centric products and treats. “This is a celebration of the bond people have with their animals,” shelter manager Laura Ireland said. “We have games that are easy to put on and easy to compete in but that are lots of fun, like the best shedder contest. People really enjoyed that last year so we brought it back.” If your buddy isn’t quite ready to compete — or even to stand still while you brush — there will be non-competitive games set up on site, too. “We are going to have lots of activities out and about,” Ireland said. “So even if you don’t feel your dog is ready for competition, there will still be plenty to do, like the Photo by Gretchen Ammerman doggie limbo and the tennis ball Shelter manager Laura Ireland and volunteer dunk.” coordinator Sue Giles Green with the recently Green, who does agility training, re-homed Angel will also have a “confidence course” set up on site. “There may be people that said. “We have a really high adoption rate haven’t had the safety training that for Oregon, and we put all the resources you get with a full agility course,” we have available to keep our animals she said. “I’ll have some fun, safe adopted.” TODAY photo things that we can have dogs do Finding homes for animals in the shelter Owners and their dogs often grow without worrying that they are is not the only focus of the staff; they are to look alike going to get hurt.” also committed to keeping animals from Food and pet products vendors entering the system in the first place. will also be there to provide additional non“We try to do as much as we can to help people competitive activities for attendees. keep their animals at home,” Ireland said. “Over Although the focus of event is good times for both 1,000 pounds of food are donated every month that two- and four-legged animals, shelter staff members goes to feeding animals whose owners are struggling also see it as a great way to get the word out about financially, and we have behaviorists that help work operations at the shelter. out any issues the animal may have.

Seaweed with a side of barnacles Expand your culinary horizons this summer with wild edibles classes Story & photos by Jenni Remillard For the TODAY

ost people have probably never looked at a barnacle and thought it would make a tasty snack. The knobbly creatures are not the most appetizing looking offering and have more of a reputation of being a pest to marine boaters. Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em. The local barnacles here on the Oregon Coast are edible and some of them are rather tasty. If you are wondering who in their right mind would eat a barnacle, look no further than the participants of several wild edibles classes being offered on the Central Coast this summer. If you hurry, you can even join them and find out for yourself. Wild Food Adventures will be offering several classes this summer on both seaweeds and clamming.

Participants for the seaweed classes will explore the tide pools at Hug Point just south of Cannon Beach and at Garibaldi, where guide John Kallas will point out which seaweeds are edible and how best to prepare them. Some seaweeds are very slimy and are good for thickening soups, while others have a nice crunch and can be used in salads or on sandwiches. Some are even tasty right out of the tide pool. Kallas encourages participants to taste what they find and take note of how it tastes to them, keeping flavor and texture in mind. He will also discuss mussels and barnacles and how to prepare them. Wild Food Adventures also offers several clamming excursions throughout the summer in Tillamook. Participants will be looking for gaper, butter and steamer clams and Clamming at Alsea Bay

will learn how to find, dig for and prepare their catch. Kallas will also discuss how clams were an important part of Native American culture. A list of Wild Food Adventures’ workshops, including others that are not on the coast, is available at www. wildfoodadventures.com. If you are looking for overall wild coastal edibles in one class, Edible Ocean offered by the Oregon Coast Aquarium is a good bet. This overnight family camp is meant for ages 8 and up and will cover edible seaweeds, clamming, berries, crabbing and tide pool edibles (there’s those barnacles again). Slated for June 21 and 22, the camp begins with an edible berries walk along the aquarium’s nature trail. After that, it’s off to the mudflats for some clamming action. Participants will then take their clams back to the aquarium, where they will learn how to clean them. After learning about and tasting edible seaweeds and meeting — but not eating — some of the edible residents of the aquarium, the group will pull up previously placed crab

pots in the bay before heading to Beverly Beach State Park. There, aquarium staff will help participants put all their knowledge into a big pot of chowder. There are also several optional activities that night such as a night hike and a presentation by the park staff. The group will camp out at the park and the aquarium will provide breakfast in the morning. More information, including how to register, is available on the aquarium’s website; http:// aquarium.org/events. And down at Waldport’s Alsea Bay, the Oregon State Parks offers classes on clamming, crabbing and capturing bait shrimp with a “shrimp slurper.” Ranger Cameron Rauenhorst gives free demonstrations on Saturdays,

Sundays and Mondays at 10:30 am, starting at the Alsea Bay Historic Interpretive Center. If the tide is low enough, participants can head down to the bay with Rauenhorst to try their luck with the clams. Call the Alsea Bay Historic Interpretive Center with questions at 541-563-2133. While they don’t offer classes on foraging, Oregon State University Extension Office does offer classes on how to preserve the fruits of your efforts. They will be offering a meat, fish and poultry canning class on July 23, and a pickles, tomatoes, and salsa canning class on August 27. These classes are not specific to wild edibles, but the technique can be applied to most types of food. Both classes will be held in Tillamook and registration forms are on the OSU Extension website at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/ lincoln.

Know before you go • As with any activity on the Oregon Coast, be prepared for the weather. • Know the tides; always know when the tide is coming in so you don’t get trapped. Check our tide tables on page 25 or via your smartphone or tablet at www.oregoncoasttoday.com. • Familiarize yourself with limits and regulations.

• A shellfish license is required for anyone over the age of 14 taking part in clamming or clamming activities. Go to www.dfw.state.or.us/ resources/licenses_regs/shellfish.asp for details. • Your shellfish license must be on your person at all times. • Call the shellfish hotline at 877-290-6767 before you harvest to find out about any toxin-related closures.

The summer visitor

n that June day in 2012, I had just returned home from Seaside where I’d been working on a story about the trash that litters our beach, and what we could expect when the full brunt of the Japanese tsunami debris arrived. It was my husband’s birthday. I had presents to wrap, an evening out to get ready for. I was, as usual, doing Mach 1 and multi-tasking. Then I saw the e-mail: Had I seen the massive piece of tsunami debris on Agate Beach? I live maybe five minutes from Agate Beach and I was pretty darn sure whatever this thing was, it was not tsunami debris. OK, so I am a bit of a naysayer, but I had things to do and I had no time that day for big tsunami debris. I called my contact with state parks. “This is not tsunami debris,” I said. “Is it?” “Well, I’m not going to say it is, but I’m surely not going to say it isn’t,” he said. “But you do know there is a metal plate on it written in Japanese?” “Oh,” I said. And then I’m pretty sure I swore. So, off to the beach I rushed, slogging over the dunes until I was close enough to get a decent shot with my long lens, then slogging back again. The next day, the Japanese consulate confirmed the origin of the dock, a 66-foot-long, 19-footwide, 7-foot tall slab of concrete and rebar that been wretched free during the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan in March 2011.

It was big and gray and covered in invasive species — and it was grim reminder of the 230,000 people who died in that natural disaster. I knew I would always remember the dock for the date it arrived. I couldn’t know I would come to remember it for something far more signiﬁcant. I had plans to go home to Pennsylvania in a few months. The shoulder surgery my mother had undergone two years earlier had signaled the ﬁnal decline of her health and I was trying to make peace with the idea that it might be the last time I would see her alive. But mostly that summer, my life was about the dock. Just as we had not foreseen that anything so massive — 211 tons! — would land on our beach, we also had not foreseen what a massive attraction it would be. All that summer, the little road leading to the beach was clogged with cars and RVs bearing license plates from all over the country and B.C., as well. I wrote about the dock often. I did a California radio show about it. I answered e-mails and phone calls from strangers wanting to know how to get to the dock. I shot pictures of it. Once, a public relations type, angry at me for pushing for something he wasn’t ready to give up, yelled, “This is not your story, Lori.” He was wrong, it was my story. Then came August 1, the day removal was to begin. All day, the wind howled, relentless and

brutal. There was no place to take cover, so we turtled our heads down into our jackets and ducked behind the occasional car or pickup allowed on the beach for the removal. When my niece called to talk about my visit, it was impossible to hear her. But I didn’t dare leave the beach. Parking spots were at a premium; and what if they finally made that first cut and I missed it? Then evening came; and still the massive concrete dock resisted every effort to dismantle it. I called it a day. In the morning, awakening to a pillow covered in sand, I was back on the beach at 7 am. I left a message for my niece that the wind hadn’t started yet, so we could talk. But when she rang in, I was on another call. Immediately, she rang in again. This time I took it. My mother was in hospice. By the time I got home, my mother was gone. I handed off the dock to another reporter and began a new story, the one of my mother’s life. Today, I think of that first and last story of the dock as the bookends of my summer. It began with a birthday. And ended with a death. Just like life itself. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years. She lives in Newport, where she freelances for a number of regional and national publications, as well as the occasional post for her blog loritobias.com.

A dazzling dozen Twelve artist instructors from the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology will be displaying their works in the new show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery, which opens with a public reception on Friday, June 13. Guests can enjoy wine and appetizers from 5 to 7 pm as they admire “Connections,” a selection of paintings, prints, basketry, sculptures, mosaics, fiber and woodwork that gives a taste of the creativity that flows at Sitka’s studios each summer. Located just north of Lincoln City at Cascade Head, Sitka offers more than 100 workshops on art, writing and ecology every summer — each aimed at encouraging people to discover more about their creativity and their connection to the natural world. Local artist and instructor Tash Wesp describes the center as a place “where nature and art collide.” The 12 visual artists included in the Chessman show teach a range of workshops including Labyrinth Mosaic with Mark Brody, Sand Painting with Judy Vogland and Sculptural Cedar Baskets with Polly Adams Sutton.

How touching... Years of scientific study have confirmed that nothing makes little boys’ faces light up quite like the sight of a fire truck. So it is no surprise that Touch-a-Truck was the very first event that Lincoln City’s Parks and Recreation Department started running when they opened the town’s community center in 1980. The popular event will return for its 24th year on Saturday, June 14, from noon to 2 pm in the center’s parking lot. Kids of all ages will get an up-close look at vehicles of all shapes and sizes, from bulldozers and garbage trucks to rescue rigs and watercraft. Weather permitting, a medical services helicopter might even land in the parking lot. The event also features free refreshments as well as children’s games, clowns, face painting, a cakewalk and raffle prizes. Public safety personnel will be on hand to provide information and updates about emergency preparedness. Touch-a-Truck is for all ages and admission is free. The Lincoln City Community Center is located at 2150 NE Oar Place, one block off NE 22nd Street. For more information call 541-994-2131 or go to www.lincolncity.org.

Who nose who’ll get chosen? Young performers and would-be thespians, entering ﬁrst through 12th grades, are invited to audition for the upcoming Missoula Children’s Theatre production of “Pinocchio,” at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Auditions are set for Monday, June 16, at the center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. All those auditioning should arrive at 10 am sharp, no exceptions, and plan to stay until noon. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition. Among the more than 60 roles to be cast are Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy, Jiminy Cricket, the Fox and Cat, Candlewick and Crew, Urchins, School Kids, Puppets and Toys. No advance preparation or theatrical experience is necessary. Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities. “Missoula Children’s Theatre is one of the highlights of our year, and a great way to launch the summer,” said the center’s executive director Niki Price. “But the timeline is very tight, so auditions always begin at 10 am sharp and those who are late may not be allowed to participate. The center doors will be open by 9:30 am, so that parents and guardians have time to ﬁll out the necessary forms.”

Thanks to local sponsors, participation is absolutely free for all children who attend school in Lincoln City or Neskowin. Other aspiring performers (children and teenagers who attend school outside of the north Lincoln County area) are welcome to participate for a $50 registration fee, which covers all rehearsal and performances. All those children who are cast must agree to attend rehearsals faithfully throughout the week, and to perform in two shows on Saturday. The directors will also oﬀer three optional 45-minute theatre education workshops, outside of required rehearsal time, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. They will address topics such as “Acting 1-2-3,” “Improv” and “Let’s Make-up.” Signup sheets will be available after the audition. Admission to these additional workshops is a suggested donation of $5-$10. The musical “Pinocchio” will be presented twice, at 3 pm and 7 pm on Saturday, June 21, in the auditorium at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Tickets are $10 reserved (A Section), $5 general (B Section), and free for kids 12 and under with a paid adult. For tickets or further information, call the center at 541-994-9994.
