LINCOLN CITY — If you see a grumpy looking chap furiously scanning the sidewalks as he drives up and down Highway 101 in a car with New York plates, don’t panic. It’s probably the bookings manager for Carnegie Hall trying to track down all the world-class musicians who have ﬂocked to town for the Siletz Bay Music Festival.

THE BEACH — Regular readers will know that TODAY columnist Matt Love is a connoisseur of the driftwood fort. This week, he recounts his adventures at outdoor school, where he imparted his passion for these seashore citadels to a class of sixth graders. Why stop there?

An eye-opening iris talk

25-14/15x

Almost 100 years of Iris expertise will be on offer at Lincoln City’s Connie Hansen Gardens on Saturday, June 28, when Steve Schreiner of Schreiner’s Iris Gardens in Woodburn arrives at the coast. Schreiner is the third generation of a family iris business that began in the bitter cold of Minnesota. It was there in 1920 that F.X. Schreiner first developed an interest in the iconic flower and became a collector. By 1925, he was growing some 500 varieties on about an acre of ground and decided to start selling the plants in order to buy still more. After their father’s death in

1931, Bob, Connie and Gus Schreiner took on the family business, relocating to the more forgiving climate of the Willamette Valley. As the Iris surged in popularity in the 1970’s, the

Schreiner’s iris plantings doubled in size to 100 acres, and then again to 200 acres. Now, Steve Schreiner, one of Gus Schreiner’s sons, is among several thirdgeneration family members running the business, handling the ﬂower show, photography and retail orders. During his Saturday, June 28 appearance he will talk about the history and lore of the iris — both bearded and beardless. He will also have beardless varieties for sale. The talk will run from 1 to 3 pm at the gardens, 1931 NW 33rd Street. For more information, call 541-9946338.

Admission and refreshments are free. A portion of the proceeds from the sale funds the garden club’s annual grant program for charities. The sale will run from 9 am to 4 pm at the clubhouse, located just east off the 101 next door to the Seal Rock Fire Department. Look for the signs and the bright yellow building.

Flamenco star brings new moon to Newport Seattle flamenco dancer Savannah Fuentes will perform at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Monday, June 23, as part of a nine-state tour to showcase her newest work, La Luna Nueva — the new moon. The presentation of Spanish flamenco music and dance will also feature Bulgarian guitarist Bobby de Sofia and — direct from Spain — singer Curro Cueto. Born in Seattle to parents of Irish and Puerto Rican ancestry, Fuentes discovered flamenco in her late teens and went on to study under master dancer and choreographer Sara de Luis. She currently tours throughout the Northwest and beyond with esteemed flamenco artists such as Jesus Montoya, Pedro Cortes, Curro Cueto and Saray Munoz Barrull. Bobby de Sofia discovered Flamenco in his 20s and, soon after, traveled to Spain to study under instructors including Paco Arroyo of Barcelona and Pedro Viscomi of Sevilla. In 2008, he joined forces with Nyofu Tyson to form the group iSTWest — a

fusion of traditional Turkish and flamenco music. He currently resides in Los Angeles where he is part of the city’s vibrant flamenco scene and resident guitarist for the Cafe Sevilla flamenco show. Curro Cueto was born and raised in the flamenco neighborhood of Marchena, where he was mentored by artists such as guitarist Melchor de Marchena At the age of 18, he began studying music theory and flute at the Conservatory of Málaga, and later continued at the Conservatory of Córdoba. He has collaborated with artists including “The Güito” Manolete, “El Chino,” Enrique de Melchor, Victor Monje Serranito and Angel Rubio. Cueto is a member and co-founder of the group “South Triad” and, since 2009

A season for REFLECTION

has been immersed in a new project with Caibana group Flamenco Fusion Salsa. He is the author of “Flamenco in its Measurement” and “Method Flamenco Song and Rhythm,” both of which are used to teach the ﬂamenco method in schools.

Monday’s performance will start at 7:30 pm in the Black Box Theatre at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $23 for general admission, $35 for VIP and $10 for kids, are available at www.coastarts.org or call 541265-2787. Tickets are also available at www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling call 1-800-8383006.

In the wake of this Saturday’s summer solstice, organizers of the labyrinth walk at Lincoln City Cultural Center are offering some new opportunities for guests at the Monday, June 23, event. Labyrinth leader Darlene Muller will offer yoga on the labyrinth from 10 to 11:30 am, followed by a walking meditation from 4 to 6 pm and dancing on the labyrinth from 6 to 7 pm. Laid out in the center’s auditorium, the hand-painted canvas labyrinth is modeled after the one in Chartres Cathedral. It consists of a single path leading to the center and back out, with a lotus in the center signifying a place for prayer, meditation and reflection. Once guests take off their shoes and step upon the canvas, there are no rules, other than to walk in silence and be respectful of others along the path. Light refreshments and soft music will be provided, as well as guidance for those who ask. Labyrinth walks will also be held on Monday Sept. 22, and Monday, Dec. 22, all made possible thanks to donations from the public and the generosity of the Congregational Church of Lincoln City. The cultural center is located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541994-9994.

The importance of being Earnest… and Algernon… and Lady Bracknell… Oscar Wilde’s comedy of mistaken identities, romantic infatuation and outright lies will take to the stage in Yachats later this year and One of Us Productions is looking for actors to ﬁll a host of choice roles. Set in 1890s England, the play tells the story of rural landowner Jack Worthing, who frequently slips away to London on the pretense of cleaning up the various messes caused by his wayward — and entirely ﬁctional —brother, Ernest. While in London, Jack lives his life as the carefree Ernest, carrying

on bachelor existence that is about to come to and end as he prepares to propose to his beloved Gwendolen Fairfax. Things get complicated when Gwendolyn’s cousin, Algernon Moncrieﬀ, discovers Jack’s secret and travels down to the estate, announcing himself to Jack’s attractive ward, Cecily Cardew, as bad brother Ernest. Additional characters are Lady Augusta Bracknell, Gwendolen’s mother; Miss Prism, Cecily’s governess; Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D., the local vicar; and Lane and

Merriman, servants in Jack’s and Algernon’s households. Auditions will take place at 7:30 pm on Thursday, June 26, and 2 pm on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29, in room three of the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. The play will open on Friday, Sept. 12 and run through Sunday, Sept. 28, with performances on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. For more information, contact director Bob Barber at 541547-4862 or see One of Us Productions on Facebook.

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

An outdoor school adventure I stood atop an ancient driftlog at Ona Beach while a bald eagle circled overhead. It was a sunny Thursday morning in June and arrayed around me were 60 giddy sixth graders from Toledo Elementary on day four of their outdoor school program. All week long, they had studied watersheds in the field but today they would eschew the scientific method and engage nature by making art, shelter and playing in it. Only 30 minutes earlier, the students had gone into the record books by being the largest group of adolescents to build the fastest driftwood fort in history: 7:26. Now the students were poised to set another world record and they could hardly contain themselves; school was almost over and the beach was driving them mad, mad, mad, to play as children should play. But first they had to listen to me speechify for three minutes. In that time, I would attempt to educate them about Oregon’s publicly-owned beaches, the “great birthright” as former Governor Oswald West memorably described them. I began the speech by asking, “How much did it cost to use this beach?” A girl toward the back shouted, “Nothing!” “And why is that?” I roared over the old sound of the ocean. I continued: “Because this is Oregon and we did it differently here. This beach belongs to all of us and no one can own it…” The students yelled their approval and raised their fists in the air. I could have invaded Malibu with these crack troops and reclaimed the private beaches from the movie stars and record producers. The speech went on for another 140 seconds and in its duration I presented a short history of Oregon’s visionary and bi-partisan conservation laws and unique tradition of people freely recreating on their ocean beaches. In conclusion, I told the students that we were about to set a world record for building the most driftwood forts on one beach in a single time period and that our effort would collectively blow the minds of anyone who viewed this magisterial complex of forts while driving by it on Highway 101. “Do you know what we want these people to do when they see our forts,” I said. “Stop and visit!” said a boy up front. Speech over. And then 60 students fanned out, unhinged, screaming to the skies near the Beaver Creek estuary to collaborate, share, discuss, adjust, include, communicate, compromise and labor in the construction of their respective forts. In the course

of this construction, they demonstrated precisely the set of hands-on, non ideological skills their generation will need to take this nation to a new, better place, because the old hoarding ways clearly are not cutting it. Oh, it was glorious to behold, all those 21 forts rising from the sand; forts of an astonishing variety, some with quirky features I’d never seen before, such as: a television antenna, dune grass drapery, a pendulum, a thatched roof, bark wallpaper and a reading pit. One fort team even insisted that their fort was not oﬃcial unless every builder took oﬀ their shoes and socks! The most intriguing fort was constructed by a group of three girls. It had no walls at all, just a framed entrance, and when I asked them about this, they didn’t really have an answer. Perhaps their fort was built on a purely subconscious adolescent desire for equality and belonging. Perhaps, these girls had unwittingly created the ultimate driftwood fort metaphor we need to embrace as a nation. Or perhaps they knew exactly what they were doing all along. (Note to any Oregon multi-millionaire reading this: How would you like to do something truly remarkable for Oregon with your money? How about establishing the Driftwood Forts Foundation with its single mission to have as many Oregon sixth graders as possible have the opportunity to build a driftwood fort? You can hire me to run the foundation and it wouldn’t cost all that much. If interested, contact me.)

Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

As summer approaches, things are heating up at Depoe Bay’s Harbor Lights Inn. And it’s not just on the sun-drenched deck that temperatures are rising, but in the kitchen, too. Having already got locals and visitors alike hooked on a mixture of ﬁne Italian cuisine and towering burgers, owners Bob and Beni Blessigner have now added barbecue to the mix. Their secret weapon? Donnie Deschenes, a longtime coast dweller who originally hails from South Carolina, deep in the heart of barbecue country. “Where I grew up, in a coastal town just outside Charleston, there was a joint on every block,” he said. “They’ve been doing it for a hundred years down there.” Despite being raised in a state where barbecue approaches a religion, it was not until he moved to Oregon that Deschenes got a real grounding in the art form while working at Murphy’s restaurant on the south side of Corvallis. With eight to 10 smoker rigs going at any one time, he would run back and forth with his camera, taking photos and making notes. A keen surfer, Deschenes soon made his way to the coast, serving two four-year stints at the Side Door Café before coming on board at Harbor Lights. He said he is excited at the prospect of getting back behind the grill. “My smoker’s been pretty much just rusting in my front yard,” he said “I haven’t had the venue to do it.”

And Deschenes has been putting in the hours, with a rack of ribs taking about four hours at 225 degrees to cook to perfection, while a pork butt can easily take twice that long. “It’s kind of a process,” he said, “real low and slow. You don’t really understand it until you get out there and build a hundred fires. Because that’s what it’s all about — building fires.” After letting the meat get a thin crust on the outside, Deschenes applies a spritz of apple cider and butter to break it down a little and add shine — waiting until the last half hour to introduce the barbecue sauce. Ah yes, the barbecue sauce — something of a contentious topic for a native of South Carolina, a state where different factions swear loyalty to sauces based on ketchup, tomatoes, vinegar or mustard depending on which county you happen to be standing in. When it comes to pulled pork at least, Deschenes is able to appease at least two of the camps, coating the meat with a Memphis Red sauce that combines tomatoes and yellow sauce. The pulled pork is available in slider form for $3; as a sandwich with one side for $9; or by the half pound with cornbread and two sides for $12. Deschenes’ chopped turkey is available in the same servings at the same prices. Ribs fans can have a quarter rack or a half rack of baby back ribs together with cornbread and two sides for $14

Above: Donnie Deschenes at the helm of his formidable smoker Left: Nestled in a corner of Depoe Bay Harbor, the inn provides stunning views and a warm welcome

or $18 respectively. For real barbecue fans, a combo meal oﬀers a quarter rack or ribs along with a quarter pound of either pulled pork or chopped turkey, served with cornbread and two sides for $16. Deschenes’ skills at the smoker earned him high praise from no less an authority than a member of the Kansas City BBQ Society who stopped at Harbor Lights on a trip to the coast. “I’ve had ribs all over the country,” the traveling barbecue connoisseur said, “and these are the best I’ve ever had.” Bob’s Three Napkin Burgers are still on the menu, too, with options including the Mushroom Swiss

8 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • june 20, 2014

Burger, Bluecheese Bacon Burger and the Jalapeño Pepperjack Burger. And guests can still relax in the evenings, taking in the view of the glassy harbor while sipping on a glass of red wine and trying to decide which Italian dish to go for. Bob said deciding which dishes to keep when revamping the menu was a no-brainer — the three bestsellers: Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Vesuvio and Crab-stuﬀed Ravioli. New on the menu are shrimp cocktail and crab cocktail starters as well as a range of dinner-sized salads, with the Savory Steak Salad and Dungeness Crab BLT Salad proving the most popular so far. And for those times when a salad

simply won’t cut it, the menu also offers Certified Angus Beef Natural steaks, with a 12-ounce New York Strip for $33; a 12-ounce Ribeye for $29; or an 8-ounce Top Sirloin for $22. Tucked away in the corner of Depoe Bay Harbor, away from the bustle of Highway 101, Harbor Lights Inn is something of a hidden gem. And Deschenes is confident that the dishes coming from the kitchen — and the smoker — will act as a beacon, guiding hungry travelers to a warm welcome and a great meal. “If you’ve got good food they’ll come find you,” he said, “no matter where you are.” The Harbor Lights Inn is located at 235 SE Bay View Avenue in Depoe Bay. They are open Monday to Saturday from 5 to close. For more information or to make a reservation call 541-765-2322 or 800-2280448, or visit their website at www. theharborlightsinn.com.

Some kids go oﬀ to camp during the summer. Some spend the break playing soccer and video games. Others embark on a ninestate tour of the Western US, performing world-class choral harmonies. It’s this last group that will be taking to the stage in Newport on Sunday, June 22, as the Phoenix Boys Choir performs alongside the Corvallis’ Heart of the Valley Children’s Choir to mark the start of SummerFest, a series of concerts hosted by the Newport Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1947, the Phoenix Boys Choir has programs featuring training in voice, music theory and performance for boys age 7 to 14. Boys start oﬀ in the Training Choir and can progress to Cadet, Town and Tour choirs, and upon graduation, participate in the Masters Choir. When the boys reach the performance levels of Town and Tour Choir, they have the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally. The Tour Choir, the most experienced and prestigious choir, has performed across the country and around the world, including Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Austria where they sang side-by-side with the Vienna Choir Boys in the famous Court Chapel. Artistic Director Georg Stangelberger joined the choir in 1999, having served for 13 years with the Vienna Boys Choir as deputy artistic director and principal choir conductor. A native of Austria, Stangelberger studied music in Vienna, Ottawa and Zagreb. He holds a master’s degree in Choral Conducting and bachelor’s degrees in Orchestra Conducting

and Vocal Accompaniment from the Music University of Vienna. He recently received the Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria and was also made an honorary member of the Vienna Boys Choir for his years of dedication and service. Sunday’s concert is scheduled to begin at 3 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $15 in advance, $18 at the door and $5 for students, are available at the box oﬃce or by calling 541-265-ARTS. For more information, go to newportsymphony.org.

A true performance peace

Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center will resound to the strains of folk music sung by a soul singer on Wednesday, June 25, when Shane Philips performs songs from his latest album “Social Justice and Peace.” The album, Philips’ ﬁrst release in two years, is a departure from his last three albums that were rooted deeply in traditional soul. Searching for something more, Philips decided to immerse himself into a community of folk artists

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • june 20, 2014

and was able to focus his songwriting around stories that spoke to his life growing up in a farm town and countless other events that would eventually shape his

life as he traveled around the world. The resulting songs speak to change and the idea that love is the universal fabric that holds humanity together. Philips will be accompanied by Sam Dlugokecki on acoustic guitar and Isaiah Farahbakhsh on cello. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm at the center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $10 at the door.

A feast for the ears The Siletz Bay Music Festival is back and bigger than ever

By Nancy Steinberg

ock violin. Jazz piano. Classical sonatas. Broadway show tunes. Inspirational gospel music. Eleven concerts scheduled at four venues across two weeks. If variety is the spice of life, this summer’s Siletz Bay Music Festival, from June 25 to July 6, promises to be downright scorching. And that was the intent of festival organizers. Now in its third year as an independent non-proﬁt, the festival aims to break out of the box of the typical classical music festival, oﬀering a range of types of programming, all of it of the highest artistic quality. Executive Director Sue ParksHilden stressed the box-busting nature of the festival: “There’s really something for everyone,” she said. “We’ve grown very inclusive of many genres of music.” Even the strictly classical concerts on the schedule will go beyond the familiar cannon, thanks to the diverse tastes of festival Artistic Director Yaacov Bergman, who also serves as Music Director of the Walla Walla Symphony and the Portland Chamber Orchestra. “Yaacov is a really wonderful programmer,” Parks-Hilden said. “He doesn’t just play all the hummable tunes — he works in something unique on every program.” Cases in point: the concert on Friday, June 27, features Bach and Richard Strauss,

but also a piano quintet by the lesser known but brilliant Austrian composer, Johann Hummel. The “Saturday Soiree” concert on June 28 includes the renowned Schubert Quintet in A Major, also known as the “Trout” quintet, as well as a world premiere duet for violin and piano written by festival musician Dick Hyman. “Dick wrote the duet at last year’s festival specifically for our musicians,” Parks-Hilden said. Jazz figures prominently in this year’s festival, especially at the July 2 concert, “Rhymes and Rhythms,” at the Salishan Resort Long House. Featured works include William Walton’s “Façade,” based on the poems of Edith Sitwell, written for six musicians plus two spoken-word performers. The program also includes multiple works by Dick Hyman, one of the festival’s featured performers and a highly regarded jazz composer, arranger and pianist. He has worked on many Woody Allen films as well as the movies “Moonstruck” and “Scott Joplin, King of Ragtime.” The man himself will perform at the July 2 concert; and his music graces programs throughout the festival. Gospel singer Nicole Greenridge Joseph, wildly popular at last year’s festival, is back, performing on the July 4 program of American musical genres. That concert will also feature Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, more jazz from Dick Hyman, and a fascinating piece by Forrest Pierce, The Great

River of the West, which uses music to follow the path of the mighty Columbia River from the Rocky Mountains to Astoria. And no concert of American music is complete without some rock and roll, provided by popular rock violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist Tim Ellis. Kids should bring their parents to the July 5 family concert, featuring festival performer Ron Spivak’s piece for young audiences, “The Noisy Intermission.” “During intermission of a concert, the instruments of the orchestra argue about who is most important,” Parks-Hilden said. “The upshot is, of course, that it’s best when they all work together.” This charming performance is part of the festival’s educational mission, which will be expanded in the coming years thanks to a recent grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. The ﬁnal program of the festival, on July 6, is a fundraising concert, with the emphasis on fun. “It’s Better with a Baritone” will feature cabaret and concert singer Rocky Blumhagen and acclaimed actor/singer and historian Ron Spivak in a program of baritone duets from Broadway shows, including works of Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman, Michael Valenti and many others. The program includes well-known selections from “Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Misérables,” “A Little Night Music,” “La Cages aux Folles” and other hit musicals, plus a surprise or two.

Artistic Director Yaacov Bergman at work

The list of renowned musicians descending on Lincoln City for the duration of the festival is mind-boggling. Pianist MeiTing Sun began performing at the age of 5, and has been touring the globe ever since, including recent tours in Brazil, Spain, China and Poland. He has won numerous piano competitions and his reviews are stellar (the New York Times: “Stunningly ﬂuid,” the Boston Globe: “A miracle of lightness, speed, and precision”). Cellist Armen Ksajikian has collaborated with a constellation of classical musicians, from John Williams to Henry Mancini to Zubin Mehta. “They all want to come to the Oregon coast,” Parks-Hilden said. “It’s such a destination for them.” No argument there. Gorgeous setting, incredible music. Get your tickets now on the festival’s website, www.siletzbaymusic.org. A complete list of programs and additional festival information is available there as well.

Pew won’t want to miss this Seats are going fast for the ﬁnal weekend of the “The Hallelujah Girls” in Tillamook. The latest production from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts, the play tells the story of six women who decide to pursue their dreams after the loss of a close friend and transform an old, abandoned church into a day spa. 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 roll up their sleeves and help their friend. 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. “The Hallelujah Girls” will conclude its threeweek run with performances at 7 pm on Friday, June 20, and Saturday, June 21, followed by a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, June 22. 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.

Going Dutch in Newport A tale of treason, intrigue and tulips will make its premiere at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Friday, June 20, as Coastal Act Productions presents an original musical penned by a local father-and-son team. “The Black Tulip,” written by Newport High School teacher Brian Hanna and with music by his son, Jacob, is adapted from Alexandre Dumas’ book of the same name. Set in Holland in the 1670s, the story follows Nelson van Baerle, an innocent tulip fancier who gets caught in the crossﬁre of political intrigue as opposing forces clash over control of the country. Falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival, Nelson 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. “I originally wanted to write a musical based on the Count of Monte Cristo,” Hanna said “but seeing that one had already been done in Europe, I decided to find another book by Dumas because I enjoy his writing style. I particularly liked The Black Tulip and set out to write a script, not knowing if it would ever really come to fruition. It is exciting to see actors breathe life into these characters.” Sean Rash, local pediatrician and first time actor with Coastal Act Productions, said it is a huge rush to be part of such a fresh show. “We are the first to interpret these characters,” he said. “It is a privilege to bring them to the stage.”

Music for the show was composed by Jacob Hanna, a graduating senior at Newport High School, who plans to study Commercial Music and hopes to one day write music scores professionally. “The Black Tulip,” will open on Friday, June 20, with a 7 pm performance at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. There will be performances at 2 pm and 7pm on Saturday, June 21; and 7 pm show on Friday, June 27. The run will conclude on Saturday, June 28, with performances at 2 pm and 7 pm. Tickets, $14 for adults and $12 for students or seniors, are available at the box oﬃce, by calling 541-265-ARTS or online at www.coastarts.org. For more information, go to www.capnewport.com.

A project to be-leaf in

25-14

www.facebook.com/OregonCoastToday

A mural depicting children at play in a field of flowers is taking shape in Toledo and organizers are seeking donations to help finish the project. Entitled “Watch us Grow” the mural is springing up on the wall of the Olalla Center for Children & Families & the Flowerree Community Center, with a painted portion at the top and flowers rendered in mosaic at the bottom. It is being put together by staff at the Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre & Youth Art Center, assisted by three local artists. With the painted portion and one half of the mosaic almost complete, organizers are trying to raise funds for the remainder of the project, which includes signs for the center and improvements to its main staircase. Businesses and families are invited to help the project along by sponsoring a mosaic flower and having their name emblazoned on a stem or leaf in return. Business flowers cost $100, with family flowers available for $50. Sponsors can send a check or money order to OCCT, P.O. Box 538, Toledo, Oregon 97391, or contact

will give families the chance to win prizes including glass ﬂoats by Ocean Beach Glass. And, at 1 pm, keeping a decadesold Beachcombers Days tradition alive, the Flounder Inn Tavern will present RoosterFish playing live in its beer garden at 180 Hwy. 101. Known for their high-energy sets including everything from country and blues to rock, reggae and RoosterFish originals, the band performed at various venues along the central Oregon Coast for more than a dozen years. The annual beer garden performance has evolved into a RoosterFish reunion, with many musicians who have performed with the group in the past showing up to sit in. The mix creates an exciting afternoon of music, so be sure to bring your dancing shoes. There’s no cover charge. Over 21s only. For more details, call 541-563-2266. The festival will draw to a close on Sunday, June 22 with three events that prove it’s all in the wrist. The Sand Sculpting, Kite Flying and Beer Keg Toss contests will all run from 10 am to 1 pm at the Port of Alsea. Proceeds from the festival go toward local scholarships and nonproﬁt organizations. For more information, go to the Waldport Chamber of Commerce website at www. waldport-chamber.com.

25-14/4x

With dads on the coast still basking in the glow of Fathers Day, the Nye Beach Writers Series will welcome memoirist and poet Joe Wilkins to Newport on Saturday, June 21, for a reflective look at a father-son relationship cut short. Wilkins’ memoir “The Mountain and the Fathers: Growing up on the Big Dry” tells the story of a childhood spent in rural Montana. The book won Wilkins the New Writers Award for nonfiction from the Great Lakes Colleges Association. “Joe Wilkins evokes place like Willa Cather,” one judge wrote. “That is, place begins as a kind of raw, wide-open poetry. But Wilkins tells a different story. This is about the author’s search for a model of fatherhood, to fill spaces left empty by the death of his father.” The talk will begin at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an

open mic for local writers. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. Wilkins, who teaches writing at Linﬁeld College, will also lead a workshop while he is at the coast, showing students how rhythm can drive good prose and poetry. The workshop, the third in a series partially funded by the Lincoln County Cultural Trust and the Oregon Cultural Trust, will start at 2

pm, on Sunday, June 22, at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org.

“The Needles at Dusk” by Sylvia A. Hosie

LINCOLN CITY FARMERS & CRAFTERS

to make you melt Photography and paintings including some encaustic pieces will be on display at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery through Friday, June 27, in a Spotlight Show featuring the works of Sylvia A. Hosie and Lila Passarelli. Hosie will be displaying photographs inspired by the theme “At Water’s Edge.” “Where land meets the sea is a magical place for photographers,” she said, “with wet sand reﬂections, breaking waves, lonely lighthouses and treasures from the sea.” Although Hosie is a travel photographer who has traveled the world, these images are much closer to home — all taken along the Oregon and California coastline. “I love the translucence of a breaking wave and how wet sand will reﬂect the sky’s sunset colors,” she said. “To intensify this I have printed some photos on metallic paper and had two of them done on aluminum metal.”

540 NE Hwy. 101 Hosie is a third-generation Oregonian who has been photographing her home state since the early ’80s. Her photo credits include Camping Life, Oregon Coast and Oregon Adventures magazines. Lila Passarelli has been a member of the Yaquina Art Association since 1977, beginning with pen and ink classes, and moving on to study oil painting and watercolors. She is especially fond of animals as subjects, although Oregon lighthouses, seascapes, landscapes and the occasional ﬂower painting can be found in her studio. Passarelli also creates encaustic painting, a method that involves adding pigment to heated wax, which is the applied to the painting surface. Most encaustic painters use beeswax but not Passarelli. She prefers melting Crayola crayons. “This is the fun part,” she said. The gallery is located at 789 NW Beach Drive in the Nye Beach area and is open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.

Some head-turning stuff This Friday, June 20, is the last chance to catch the Yaquina Art Association’s Crafter’s Spotlight Show featuring the wood turnings of John Williams. Williams began turning wood in 1981 when he added a wood lathe to his shop in North Albany. He used it make parts for the unﬁnished pieces his wife was selling through their Tole painting shop. He

seriously began to turn wood objects after contacting Peter Child, a renowned British wood turner, who taught him the proper methods to turn artistic pieces. Today, Williams has a wood shop south of Seal Rock, where he still uses that same lathe to make bowls, plates, salt and pepper grinders and specialty items. He prefers to use local woods with small amounts of exotic wood to

An event for the elf-aware

Portland’s Alexa Wildish is among the Masquerade performers

Saturday’s Summer Solstice will see a mist of pixie dust descend upon the Yachats Commons, transforming the former elementary school into an enchanted fairy realm for the Midsummer Masquerade. The family friendly celebration invites guests to release their inner elf and come in costume to enjoy music, food, games and dancing — all in the company of the magic creatures of the woods. The event is a fund-raiser for View the Future, a community-based nonproﬁt that works to preserve and protect the natural beauty and health of the local coastal forests.

Music and entertainment will be provided by groups from Portland, Eugene, Washington and local favorites along with a live DJ providing upbeat dance music. In between the music there will be entertainment including fire dancing and snippets from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” performed by local actors. For a schedule of the entertainment and a preview of the music, go to www.YachatsMM.com. Kids’ activities will be on offer until 10 pm and, starting at 7 pm, finger foods and beverages including beer and wine will provided by the Yachats Farm Store and Bread & Roses.
