This play is Oz-some
Audiences have two chances for a trip down the Yellow Brick Road on Saturday, June 22, as more than 50 local students deliver two performances of an original musical adaptation of the timeless favorite, “The Wizard of Oz.” Students created the play from scratch in less than a week, with help from two traveling directors from the Missoula Children’s Theatre, who held auditions on June 17. Based in Missoula, Mont., the MCT sends touring productions across the country in little red trucks, packed full of costumes, scenery, props and makeup. The cast features Lincoln City children from first through 12th grades as Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Man and Toto. Also featured will be the Professor/Wizard, Glinda, the Wicked Witch, the Green Guard and Mayor Munchkin. Other children will perform in groups, such as the Winkies, the Magicians, the Munchkins and the Fierce and Ferocious Flowers. The play will be performed twice, at 3 pm and 7 pm in the auditorium at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets for the audience are $10 reserved and $5 general, on sale now at 541-994-9994. For more information, to volunteer or to support the Missoula Children’s Theatre and its annual visit to the Oregon Coast, contact Vickie Walling at 541-994-9994.

Prepare to be a-mazed Among the many wonders of the human body is the way in which the feet appear to be hardwired directly into the brain. Something on your mind? Take a walk, you’ll feel better — guaranteed. And, as spring changes to summer, people seeking an opportunity to reflect on the passage of time, the changing of the seasons or anything else that occupies their minds are invited to walk through their thoughts in a hand-painted labyrinth at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Monday, June 24. Organized in collaboration with the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, the labyrinth appears with each changing of the season, offering walkers the opportunity to honor the memory of friends and loved ones, give thanks, ask for help or contemplate the mystery of life. The labyrinth is an ancient symbol, known in many cultures for thousands of years. In its simplest
form, it is a meditation — walking a single path into the center and then following the same path back out to the beginning. There are no rules, other than to walk in silence and be respectful of your fellow walkers. Thanks to the volunteer work of labyrinth lovers Darlene Muller and Alex del Vecchio, these walking meditation experiences are offered free for all. Donations, which will help pay for auditorium utilities and other expenses, will be happily accepted. A volunteer will be available at all times, for guidance and assistance. The labyrinth will be available from 4 to 7 pm, in the center auditorium, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Future walks are also scheduled for Monday, Sept. 23, and Monday, Dec. 23. For more information, call the Congregational Church at 541-994-2378 or the cultural center at 541994-9994.
The Seal Rock Garden Club’s annual Plant Sale and Show will take place on Saturday, June 22, offering people the chance to buy plants, learn about coastal gardening and enjoy some free homemade treats. All the plants for sale come from the gardens of club members, with many displays arranged to reflect this year’s theme of “Singin’ in the Rain.” A portion of the proceeds from the sale goes toward local community gardens and children’s programs relating to gardening. There will also be a silent auction of member-decorated umbrellas to benefit a local food bank, as well as a lively raffle. Bouquets will also be available for purchase. Organizers encourage guests to come early, saying the best plants often sell soon after the doors open at 9 am. The sale will run until 4 pm at the club’s bright yellow clubhouse, next door to the Seal Rock Fire Department, just off Hwy. 101 in Seal Rock.

As gardens along the Oregon Coast begin to yield their summer crop, a group in Tillamook is offering to help small-scale gardeners get their vegetables and flowers to market. Food Roots’ FarmTable operates a booth every Saturday at Tillamook Farmers Market, at which small-scale gardeners can sell their produce without going to the expense of renting a booth of their own. It serves as not only an incubator for local agricultural producers but also as a place for home gardeners make some extra money by making their products available to farmers market shoppers. The FarmTable booth is run by Food Roots staff and volunteers, some of whom are vendors themselves. Those
vendors who sell without volunteering pay a 20-percent consignment fee on their sales, which supports Food Roots’ other programs. Food Roots is always interested in welcoming new FarmTable vendors to add to the robust selection of locally grown products at its booth. Becoming a vendor is as easy as growing something edible, plants, flowers or other ornamentals, filling out a vendor agreement and then delivering the goods to market on Saturday mornings, To be a part of Food Roots FarmTable, contact the FarmTable project coordinator Rebekah Laszlo at FarmTable@ foodrootsnw.org. For more information about Food Roots’ programs, go to www.foodrootsnw.org.

An armchair tour of Oregon’s historic hikes Having backpacked solo across Oregon and built a log cabin by hand on a roadless stretch of the lower Siletz River, author William L. Sullivan is, by anyone’s reckoning, a certified outdoorsman. But no such ruggedness is required of the audience for Sullivan’s Saturday, June 22, presentation, who will be invited to sit and enjoy an armchair hiker’s tour of Oregon’s most scenic historic sites. Based on his outdoor guidebook, “Hiking Oregon’s History,”
Sullivan’s presentation follows Lewis and Clark’s trail across Tillamook Head and traces Chief Joseph’s trail of tears through Hells Canyon. Expect tips on dramatic hiking trails to fire lookouts, lighthouses and gold mines, mixed in with anecdotes about trailside wildflowers and geology. In short, it’s a glimpse into Oregon’s largest museum, the great outdoors.
Sullivan is the author of 10 books about Oregon. “Listening for Coyote,” the journal of his 1,361-mile solo-backpacking trek across Oregon in 1985, was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in creative nonfiction. Since then he has published “Exploring Oregon’s Wild Areas,”
a historical novel about pioneer Oregon entitled “A Deeper Wild,” and five detailed guidebooks in his popular 100 Hikes series, including “100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon.” A fifth-generation Oregonian, Sullivan grew up in Salem. At 17 he won a scholarship to study at remote Deep Springs College in the California desert, where his duties included milking cows by hand. He went on to earn a B.A. in
English from Cornell University and an M.A. in German from the University of Oregon. He and his wife, Janell Sorensen, live with their two children in Eugene but still visit their cabin on the Siletz regularly. The hour-long presentation will take place at 1 pm at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, contact Anne Hall at 541-996-6614.

Toledo seeks sparks
The Toledo Chamber of Commerce is looking for innovators, creators, artisans, artists, science-types, DIY-ers, original thinkers, and plain old makers to take part in the 21st Annual Street Fair on Sunday, Aug. 4. Working on the theme “Ignite Your Imagination” this year’s fair will be an expansion of the town’s traditional Classic Car and Antique Show, with a focus on adults, teens, and children who are willing to show their “how-to” skills. So, in addition to classic cars, antiques and great food, the fair will also offer a window into the worlds of robotics, 3-D printing, textiles, garden systems, clean energy, creative arts, food prep, sustainable technologies and more. Deborah Trusty of the Toledo Chamber of Commerce said the presence of the Georgia Pacific paper mill, the Port of Toledo, and the Yaquina Pacific Railroad
Historical Society makes Toledo the perfect place to celebrate human ingenuity. “If you are familiar DaVinci Days and the increasingly popular Maker Fairs, you will understand what we are trying to achieve,” she said. “We invite anyone that wants to share their knowledge and become part of a larger community of creators to register for our event. Our long-range goal is to create an atmosphere of creativity and support in which we all work together to drive economic development for the Oregon Coast, responsible and creative reuse of our resources, and innovation for a sustainable future.” For more information, contact Trusty at 541-336-3183 or via email at director@ visittoledooregon.com. Registration applications are also available from the chamber website, www.visittoledooregon.com. Click the ‘events’ tab and scroll to ‘upcoming events.’

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum’s Great Speaker Series will continue on Saturday, June 22, with amateur historian Dr. Mike Carlson presenting “Heroes of the Life-Saving Station.” The presentation is in conjunction with the current museum exhibit, “Captain Farley and the Life-Saving Station” on display in the main gallery. Carlson has been researching Captain Farley and his crew for several years and will be telling stories about the

adventures of what later became the United States Coast
Guard on Tillamook Bay. “Some of the stories are humorous, while others are tragic,” Carlson said. “But they all give insight to the heroic lives of these men.” The June 22 talk will take place after the June Dairy Parade, at about 1 pm. The Great Speaker Series is sponsored by the Pioneer Museum’s Daisy Fund and is free and open to the public. For more information, go to the museum’s website at www. tcpm.org or call 503-8424553.

The Manzanita Film Series will present the Academy Award-winning documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” on Saturday, June 22. Directed by Malik Bendjelloul, the 2011 film tells the story of two South Africans who set out to discover what happened to Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit folk/rock singer who had a short but unremarkable recording career in the U.S. in the 1970s. Unknown to Rodriguez, a construction laborer, he had become a pop music icon and inspiration for generations in South Africa. In the 1990s, a few fans decided to seek out what happened to their hero, long rumored to be dead by suicide. When they did, Rodriquez’ lost artistic dreams came true after all. The 86-minute film will screen at 7:30 pm at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $7. Refreshments will be available and a discussion will follow the film.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E
The Newport High School Senior Walk
T
he deal was: if we saw a bald eagle on the beach the morning of the ďŹ fth annual Newport High School Senior Walk, I, the teacher, would cancel the killer vocabulary ďŹ nal because the appearance of a bald eagle on a publicly-owned Oregon Coast beach always instills a mighty beneďŹ cence in me and I act accordingly. Really, you should hang out with me when it happens. This walk was my ďŹ nal walk at Newport High School, a tradition I inaugurated with my Honor’s Senior English students back in 2008, my ďŹ rst year teaching at the school. Since then, The Walk has established itself as one of the best things I’ve ever done with students. There’s never an agenda when we hit the free socialist sands at 5:30 am and walk together as friends, Oregonians, and countrymen. We just walk, run, skip, strut, dart, talk, laugh, ďŹ ddle with our phones, ride piggyback, climb the North Jetty, build cairns, play, throw rocks, pose, dance, and then rally at Pig N’ Pancake where I buy breakfast for anyone who gets up at dawn to walk with their teacher a ďŹ nal time before the Real World beckons, commands, subsumes. In three out of the last four years, it had rained on us, and I relished every drop. The condensation enhanced the photographs and made the drip black coee at the restaurant all the more writerly. We are all writers on The Walk, whether any of us ever write a word about it. As I said, this was going to be my ďŹ nal walk with seniors. No, I wasn’t quitting my job; it was simply time to evolve, move on, and devote my professional energy exclusively to teaching the creative arts and not a traditional English course. I’m entering the third and ďŹ nal phase of my career, and teaching the creative arts in an era when severe pressure exists to eliminate them from the curriculum is my only mission left as a teacher. On May 28, I awoke at 4 am, did my usual writing, and then headed out. I arrived at the Fishermen’s Memorial in Yaquina Bay State Park 15 minutes early. Naturally it was raining. One by one the students lumbered in and we congregated near my truck, waiting for the slackers. Finally, 14 hearty teenagers and I commenced The Walk. We cruised through the dunes quoting epic ďŹ lm lines
from “The Lord of the Ringsâ€? trilogy and then emerged onto the beach, Oregon’s Great Birthright. Everything was properly gray. We inspected the remains of several driftwood forts and hunted for limpets. We discussed the fate of the Earth and the death of rock. Then we just started running for no reason. If you’re teacher at any level and have never run with your students for no reason, you really have no idea what you’re missing. Running on the beach and in rain is even exponentially better. I would say it’s damn near transcendent. At some point, we all turned and looked upward. A raptor-like bird appeared in the distance. Hark! Could it be? There were squeals of delight from the tiny tots with their wet eyes all aglow. Their prayers, conjuring, and Facebook posts had worked! It was a hawk! I laughed at the sky. Soooooooooo sad for the seniors. The bald eagle never appeared and never would appear to forestall a vocabulary ďŹ nal. I had communed with
Weave your own wool rug
him the night before and expressly asked that he stay away. In the Pig N’ Pancake we had a banquet room all to ourselves and were happily served by the best waitress I’ve encountered in nearly two decades. The loathsome smell of crozzled bacon nearly induced vomiting in this vegetarian, but hey, I only have to endure it once a year—after The Walk. I ate my two pancakes and marveled at Fernando, the Brazilian foreign exchange student who inhaled 20. Across the table, a plate full of congealed biscuits and gravy seemed to frighten Allie. To my left, Lily kept drinking creamer from tiny plastic cups. To my right, Cherilyn twirled a frothy blintz with a fork and did her best imitation of some celebrity or television character I’d never heard of nor would ever hear of. It was our Last Breakfast and there would never be any betrayal. I will miss them all dearly. As I paid the bill, the waitress said, “Have you ever been a waiter?â€? It was one the oddest questions I’d ever been asked in my life. “No, why do you ask?â€? “It’s just the way you communicate and organize‌it’s what good waiters and waitresses do.â€? I instantly recognized a new candidate for a creative metaphor for good teaching. She told me she was attending community college and studying communication. I had no doubt she would go far in life. She’d just handled a table of 14 hungry and texting teenagers with perfect and delightful eďŹƒciency...and took our photograph as well! I tipped her like the eccentric-millionaire-who-teaches-for-pleasure I am, said goodbye to the crew, and walked into a oating rain, thinking harder about the “good teacher as good waiterâ€? metaphor. There might be something in that. Matt Love lives in South Beach with his husky, Sonny. His latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,â€? is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores.

Practice makes perfect
Hear world-class musicians without paying a penny By Eileen Flory For the TODAY
Here’s the best-kept secret of the Siletz Bay Music Festival: You can sit in on their rehearsals for free. And they really want you to. It’s an opportunity to see and hear worldclass musicians practicing together and engaging in exquisite musical communication that, in the end, will yield a polished performance. The twoweek festival ends on Sunday, June 23, so we have a few days left to take in a rehearsal or two. A music festival like this one works by inviting professionals from near and far and assigning them their music months in advance. They practice up, arrive in town, and get right down to work together. A couple of rehearsals later, they perform for the public. Then they mix it up and do it all over again a few more times for different concerts.
Marlborough in Oregon
“My dream is to have this festival be like the Marlborough Music Festival [a summer-long festival in Vermont]” said Yaacov Bergman, the festival’s artistic director, “to bring both young and experienced musicians together and to involve the audience by having people here all day for both rehearsals and performances. I want to have the audience come here for their vacations because of the festival.” The musicians at our own festival are a diverse group. They range in age from their twenties to their sixties. They have played at concert halls in dozens of countries, at the White House, and at the presidential palace in Cyprus. They give music lessons and they teach at colleges. String bassist Jack Koncel builds instruments. Mei-Ting Sun, who came to the United States from China
as a young boy to study piano, is an accomplished cook. Ruth Boden plans to hike the Appalachian Trail with her cello, giving concerts along the way. Ronald Aaron just retired from 20 years playing viola with the Metropolitan Opera. And they are loving it here. “We play different repertoire than usual, in a very rarified environment,” said Portland violist Miriam Ward. “The host families are wonderful. I’ve come to enjoy Lincoln City and I bring my family with me for part of the time.”
Eavesdropping on a rehearsal If you attend a rehearsal, expect informality. Some of the musicians will be in jeans, T-shirts, and flipflops, and as they tune up they’ll be checking in on each other about how the year has gone for them. This is a jokey bunch — at a recent rehearsal, as two players finished warming up on a spot where they need to synchronize, another commented, “That was amazing, guys. It changed my life.” Soon the group will settle down to work, and a session of focused negotiation will begin, from the first “How are we going to cue the opening?” to the final “Is that last note usually held longer?” Along the way it’s clear that these top-notch performers are able to subsume their egos into a feeling of ensemble. Generosity prevails: “It’s so beautiful the way you play that opening.” “But I can’t quite get it to sound right.” “No, no, it’s just the right mood.” Or “Our eighth notes here are getting in the way of his delicacy.” Sometimes, of course, it’s simply a matter of getting things straight: “Raise your hand if you play on the downbeat here.” But the talk-to-music ratio is low. To observe a rehearsal is to under-
stand what can be accomplished without a word spoken, even on the first run-through. These people use a magical, unspoken language — a language of nods, smiles, lifted eyebrows and glances. A couple of hours at this level of intensity can be a bit much, so rehearsals are interspersed with the sort of comments you won’t hear at the concert: “There’s just enough time here for a cello spin and then we start the next movement.” Or horror stories, like the time one of the musicians had his music fall off the stand during a concert. Or the story of the under-practiced student whose excuse was “I think I’m allergic to my piano.” Even the complaints are good-natured: “How many double sharps can you put in one run, really?” Through all the hard work, the mood is overwhelmingly joyful and energetic. These folks love the challenge of joining new and old friends to perform for a community that takes its art seriously. By involving the audience in open rehearsals, they have

Taylor said the preparations for each new iQuad routine begin long before a kite gets into the air. After the team members have settled on a song whose tempo fits the Revolution’s speed, they walk through the routine using paper flags on the floor showing where each kite will be at each moment. Then, the team does another walk through, with each member holding a rod connected to a string looped around their wrist to keep track of how many times the kite would turn during the routine. Too many turns could cause problems by leaving the kite lines twisted. For Team iQuad, all that preparation has paid off, making them one of the highlights of the Lincoln City festival in recent years. And the feeling is mutual, with Taylor saying Lincoln City is one of the team’s favorite stops due to the quality of the kites on show, the spectacular scenery and a nice, steady wind. “Most of the time the wind is nice,” he said. “Wind coming off Indoor kiting the sea is quite consistent and really nice to fly in.” But what happens if there’s no wind at all? Well, unsurprisingly, the modern day Ben Franklins of the kiting community have already thought of that and developed a solution — indoor kite flying. Though it might sound like a punch line to some, indoor kite flying is a thriving sport, which relies on the kite flyer’s body movement to create the lift needed to keep the kite in the air. And this year’s festival is giving people the chance to see how it’s done and even try for
themselves at an indoor kite-flying workshop on Friday, June 21. Workshop leader Jerimy Colbert said indoor kite flying is free from the limitations of wind, which limits maneuverability to a semi sphere downwind of the flyer. “Indoors, you’ve got every corner of the room,” he said. “You’ve got your entire sphere if you know how to use it.” All participants in the free workshop will receive an indoor kite kit to assemble, fly and keep, courtesy of Ronda Brewer of Phantom Star Kites, who will also be on hand to help with assembly. Colbert will demonstrate how to fly more complex single, dual and quad lines kites and will offer guidance to any participants who want to try their luck at keeping them in the air. Indoor kiter Connor Doran, a familiar face to watchers of America’s Got Talent, will be at the workshop, along with his mother, Amy, also a competitive kiter. The workshop will run from 2-4 pm at St. Peter The Fisherman Lutheran Church, 1226 SW TODAY photo 13th Street in Lincoln City. All skill levels and ages are invited. To reserve a spot, call Suzanne at 541996-1273. Other activities at the kite festival include kids’ kite making; a mass ascension; and the running of the bols, where contestants try to run against the wind with large, parachute-style kites strapped to their backs.

Can you dig it?
The Dig Into Reading! summer reading program at Lincoln County public libraries will continue with free performances from storyteller and singer Brad Clark on Wednesday, June 26, and Thursday, June 27. Clark said he discovered the world of performing stories and music for kids in 2008 when he joined the children’s room staff at the Wilsonville Public Library. “I just couldn’t get enough of it,” he said. “I love reading books, telling stories, singing songs and dancing with my own kids as well as any others I meet”. Newport Library’s children’s librarian Rebecca Cohen said Clark has a reputation as a gifted musician and storyteller who can effortlessly get his audience involved in the show. On Wednesday, June 26, Clark will
perform at 10 am at Waldport Public Library, 460 NW Hemlock Street; at 1 pm at Newport Public Library, 35 NE Eads Street; and at Brad Clark 6:30 pm at Driftwood Public Library, 801 SW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City.

Kathy Follett conducts at the 2012 Summer Music Camp
Strings are the thing at orchestra camp
Young musicians looking for opportunities to learn, play and perform throughout the summer and get experience playing in an orchestral setting are invited to check out the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s Summer Music Camp, which runs from July 8-12 in Newport. NSO violinists Kathy Follett and Barbara Wilcox started the annual day camp three summers ago to give beginning and intermediate youth musicians on the coast a chance to meet and play with other students outside of school activities, under instruction from local professional and NSO musicians. The camp gives young musicians the opportunity to strengthen their skills, and – in the case of many string players – play with an ensemble for the first time. Camp activities include playing full orchestra material and small ensemble pieces, composing original works, and playing music theory games. The camp is open to musicians aged 10 to 18, with at least one year of playing experience preferred. The fee to attend the camp is $130 and scholarships are available. This year’s camp runs from 9 am to 3 pm daily, and registration is now underway.
Come play with Fused Glass
For more information, go to www.newportsymphony.org or contact the NSO office at 541-574-0614 or info@newportsymphony. org. At the end of the weeklong camp, the students will show what they have learned in a free public concert at 2 pm on Friday, July 12, in the sanctuary of the Newport First Presbyterian Church at 227 NE 12th Street. In addition to the post-camp concert, NSO offers several other opportunities for young musicians to see the live orchestra in action. The NSO Summer Festival Series begins in early July, and kicks off with the annual free Fourth of July Patriotic Pops concert at 4 pm in the Newport High School gym. The next day, David Odgen Stiers will narrate musical renditions of two classic stories aimed at young listeners: “Ferdinand the Bull” and “Casey at the Bat.” Tickets for this concert, set for 2 pm on Friday, July 5, are $10 for adults and $5 for children and are now on sale at the Newport Performing Arts Center. The Festival Series will end on Saturday, July 6 with a pipe organ and strings concert at the Newport First Presbyterian Church at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20 for adults.

Floating on the peaceful Salmon River, enjoying the cool evening air beneath the largest full moon of the year, what more could a person ask for? Well, since you ask, a slice of strawberry shortcake would be nice... Fortunately for dessert lovers, when planning its group paddle to mark Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberry full moon, the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council did not forget the real berries, offering Oregon strawberry shortcake as a pre-float treat. Participants should meet at 7:30 pm on Sunday, June 23, at Knight Park boat ramp on Three Rocks Road just north of Lincoln City, giving plenty of time before moon rise at 9:19 pm. Watershed council volunteers will lead paddlers upstream as there is generally a good view of the moon in that part of the estuary while the moon is low. Along the way, they will point out some of the completed and proposed restoration projects in
24 â&#x20AC;˘ oregoncoastTODAY.com â&#x20AC;˘ facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday â&#x20AC;˘ june 21, 2013
the Salmon River estuary. The group will then paddle back against the incoming tide to the lower estuary to enjoy a moonlight view of Cascade Head. Participants should plan on getting back to Knight Park between 10 and 10:30 pm, at which time the sun will have completely set and the moon should be illuminating the estuary. All participants must provide their own gear, including a life vest and whistle, and sign a liability waiver. The event is alcoholand drug-free, so leave the beer at home in favor of a hot drink and a snack to enjoy at Knight Park before setting off home. The event is free of charge but a $10 donation is suggested for the strawberry shortcake. All donations are tax deductible and will help the watershed council continue its restoration work. For more information or to RSVP, contact Paul Katen at 541-994-9682 or via email at pckaten@charter.net.

Hatching a plan for shelter Get schooled in the aquarium’s efforts to protect juvenile fishes By Erin Paxton
Juvenile Tubesnout
Of the OREGON Coast Aquarium
photo by Brent McWhirter
If you wander through the Sandy Shores gallery at the Oregon Coast Aquarium this spring, make a point to peer carefully at the close-up exhibits. An exhibit that, at first, seems to house only underwater grasses, upon close inspection reveals juvenile English soles, penpoint gunnels, sculpins and hermit crabs. This display is actually a nursery, designed to simulate the eel grass beds in the estuary adjacent to the aquarium. The tiny post-larval and juvenile fishes found here were gathered near an eel grass bed that the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration established when they built their facility at Yaquina Bay. The shallow waters in which eel grass beds grow help repel large predators. The beds typically have gentle currents and an abundance of algae, shrimp and worms to eat, making them an ideal habitat for larval and post larval fishes. “Without these habitats there’s no place for young fish to take shelter,” said Nathan Car-
penter, the aquarist that manages the exhibit. Unfortunately, the aquarium’s team sometimes returns with more garbage than fishes, or find formally pristine eel grass habitat crushed by people walking on it during low tide. To preserve these habitats that are crucial to replenishing an area’s fish population, people should pack home trash and tread carefully while clamming. The aquarium collects these fishes using a small seine net, which is a flat rectangular net with floats on top, weights on the bottom and upright Tidepool Sculpin poles at each end that are used to maneuver the net in an arc to coax fishes toward the shore where they can be transferred to holding containers. These activities are regulated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the
aquarium strictly complies with their protocols. For instance, collection is prohibited in bays with a seine net from May 1 through July 31 to prevent by catch of salmon smolt migrating out to sea. Aquarium staff collected about 70 percent of the fishes in the Sandy Shores gallery by using seine nets. Carpenter said it is best to catch fish in the first two to three months of their lives because they will do much better in an aquarium environment over their lifetime. A photo by Brent McWhirter trained eye might even be able to distinguish fish of the same species that were captured before the end of their post larval stage, rather than adulthood, because their scales will exhibit brighter colors. Rearing tiny sculpins and their exhibit-mates can be challenging for the aquarium’s

husbandry staff. Carpenter said he has to use extra care while using a siphon to clean the tank to ensure that one doesn’t swim inside. These little guys are also picky eaters, insisting on live food that is not too big or small for their taste. They also need access to food nearly all day, which means they must be fed three to four times in a 24-hour period. Juvenile fishes often have unique color patterns or body shapes that they outgrow in adulthood, making them interesting curiosities for aquarium visitors. Since animals and guests alike enjoy benefits from collecting and rearing fishes while they are in larval and post-larval stages, the aquarium’s aquarists are happy to dedicate extra effort to bring the spring time happenings of Yaquina Bay into exhibits for all to enjoy. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information, go to www.aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

Make friends in low places
Time and tide wait for no man, so Bruce Koike, president of Oregon Coast Community College, has carefully timed his series of tidepooling classes to coincide with low tides along the Oregon Coast. Koike will lead students through the intertidal zone on three outings from June 23 to June 25, when low tides are projected to range from -1.5 to -1.6 feet, revealing many organisms that are normally submerged. Koike said the class is designed as a fun field experience that people can enjoy with friends. “For several hours we will explore and discover organisms in the intertidal zone, likely Seal Rock,” he said. “We will talk about the lifestyles of these animals, how they are kept in an aquarium setting etc.”

Each morning’s field trip will be preceded by an evening orientation at the college’s aquarium science building in Newport, giving tips on tide pool safety and how to avoid impacting the environment. “A quick orientation to the marine animals will also prime you for the next morning in the field” Koike said. “Getting to know others in the class is a plus, too.” The classes cost $35 and are available on June 22-23, June 23-24, and June 24-25. The first date is the evening orientation followed by the morning field trip. Students can register online, go to http:// sharknet2.occc.cc.or.us/Schedule and search by instructor for ‘Koike.’ For more information, contact Koike at 541-867-8530 or bkoike@occc.cc.or.us.
Three days of the halibut
Forget the condor — sport fishers on the Central Oregon Coast will have three more days to bag a halibut thanks to a decision from fishery managers to open the all-depth sport halibut fishery from Thursday, June 20, to Saturday, June 22. Lynn Mattes, halibut
project leader for ODFW, said fishery managers will re-evaluate after the June 20-22 opening to see if the fishery can be reopened again. Potential dates for additional fishery openings include, July 4-6 and July 18-20, until the quota is met. Subsequent decisions on open dates will be posted
on the ODFW Marine Resources Program website, www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP. The daily bag limit for Pacific halibut is one fish and there is no minimum length requirement. The possession limit is one daily limit at sea and three daily limits on land. The annual limit per angler is six fish.
