Chop, chop. It’s photo time. ere at the Oregon Coast TODAY we have a long-standing tradition of turning up at short notice and asking people to do silly things in front of a camera.

And, whether it’s wearing a top hat and pretending to drink Scotch in gale force winds; threatening a plywood Grinch with a ﬁre hose; or acting out a sword ﬁght with a ballpoint pen, people are normally only too happy to help out. Nevertheless, basic politeness dictates that I try not to be too much of an imposition when turning up on people’s doorsteps with a camera and a harebrained idea for a photo-op. So, when I arrived at Kelly’s Brighton Marina for this week’s story on the Nehalem Bay Crab Derby, I would have been quite happy to grab a shot of someone sitting in a boat at dock, holding up a crab trap and call it good. But marina co-owner Kelly Laviolette was having none of it. He wanted to make sure that readers know the derby gives people the chance to get out on Patrick Alexander to the bay and enjoy the spectacular views and calm waters. Editor & Publisher He made a good point but there was just one problem. On this particular afternoon, the waters were not so calm. In fact, some fairly hefty north winds meant the bay was sporting whitecaps. Undeterred, Kelly and his wife, Janice, set some crab rings while I was placed in the capable hands of marina regular Filipino Phil, who drives a boat with every bit as much skill as he makes his award-winning sauces (Google him). As we eased away from the dock into the choppy waters, Phil and I were joined by a last-minute passenger in the form of Precious the dog, who quickly began to look like she wished she had stayed on dry land as the boat bounced its way from wave to wave. But Kelly, Janice and Phil proved equal to the task — managing to line up me and my camera with crabbing action three times in a row and getting me the shots I needed. What the weather will bring for this weekend’s event remains to be seen but if my experience is anything to go by, people are in for a blast even if the derby turns into a full-blown rodeo.

Time to get back in the paddle The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting everyone to explore Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge with a series of guided canoe and kayak trips during June, July and August. The roughly two-hour trips will allow participants to paddle through the heart of Siletz Bay Refuge while learning about its wildlife and natural history. The refuge, which straddles Highway 101, is marked by starched skeleton trees that jut forth from the estuary — reminiscent of a time when the salt marsh was diked for pasture. Osprey, red-tailed hawk, and occasionally bald eagle can be seen roosting at the top of these snags. A variety of estuarine dependent birds including great blue heron, great egret, and some species of waterfowl can be seen foraging in the tidally inﬂuenced waters. The refuge also provides nursery grounds for coho and chinook

salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout. Due to unpredictable winds and waves in the area of Siletz River nearest the mouth of the bay, the trips are not recommended for beginners. Participants should dress for the weather and must wear life vests. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can provide life vests, binoculars and ﬁeld guides but not boats. Participants must provide their own canoe or kayak, with rentals available from the Siletz Moorage and other venues in the Lincoln City area. To make a reservation, contact Meagan Campbell at 541-270-0610 or Meagan_ Campbell@fws.gov. Remember to include the number of boats in your party when making the reservation. For more information, go to www.fws. gov/oregoncoast/calendar.

National Trails Day on Saturday, June 7, will see the City of Yachats and the U.S. Forest Service launch a summer-long series of events to celebrate local hiking and wilderness areas. Saturday’s kickoff event, “Go Hike’em,” will feature guided interpretive hikes and educational opportunities in and around Yachats and the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area. At 9:30 am, Wilderness Act displays and Native American flute music will be on offer at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, three miles south of Yachats at 2400 Hwy. 101. At 10 am, the center will host a talk by Jim Furnish, retired deputy chief of the National Forest Service and former supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest. From 11 am to 12:30 pm, the center will serve as the starting point for guided interpretive hikes to the start of Gwynn Creek Trail and Cummins Creek Trail, 1.1 miles, easy; Giant Spruce Tree Trail, 2 miles, easy to moderate; and Gwynn Creek Trail, 5.6 miles, moderate to difficult. Meanwhile at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N., educational displays will be on offer from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, along with Native American flute music from 12:30 to 1 pm. At 1:30 pm, the Commons will serve as the starting point for guided interpretive hikes to the Yachats Wetlands and 804 Trails, 3.5 miles, easy; and the Amanda Trail, 5.6 miles; difficult to moderate, with hiking poles recommended. The Amanda Trail hike will be limited to 32 hikers, who will be shuttled by bus from the Commons to the trail entrance at the top of Cape Perpetua. To sign up, contact Joanne Kittel at jnkittel@peak.org or 541-961-8374. At 1:30 pm, a guided interpretive hike will leave from Smelt Sands State Park for the 804 N and Ya’Xaik trails, 3 miles, easy to moderate. For more information, go to www.yachats.org and click on the Events tab or contact Joanne Kittel at 541961-8374.

A full-scale free fishing weekend As if the lure of countless crystal clear creeks, rivers and bays were not enough to have every Oregonian baiting their hook on a regular basis, the state’s wildlife stewards sweeten the deal once a year by allowing people to fish without a license. Free Fishing Weekend, which will take place on Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, will allow people to skip the fee that is normally required from anglers aged 14 or over. And, along the Oregon Coast, state and federal wildlife stewards will be holding free fishing events on Saturday, June 7, to lend a hand to would-be fishers of all ages. At Hebo Lake Campground, employees of the National Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as volunteers will be on hand to help kids learn the sport from 8 am to noon. The event is open

to the public and kids aged 13 and under will receive a free goodie bag. “This is a great opportunity for people to learn how to fish and to get out and enjoy the outdoors,” said Hebo Ranger District Recreation Specialist J.W. Cleveland. “Visitors really enjoy the accessible fishing platforms and the half-mile loop trail that provides access around the lake. Kids and adults alike will have a great time at Hebo Lake.” As well as fishing, the day’s activities include a casting contest and raffle. Kids can register for the casting contest from 8 to 11 am at the shelter. The raffle drawing will be at noon. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and must be present to win a prize. Day-use fees will be waived all day Saturday but camping fees still apply. Hebo Lake does

not have potable water, so visitors should be sure to bring their own water to stay hydrated. To ﬁnd Hebo Lake, turn south from Highway 101 to Highway 22 at Hebo for a quarter mile and then travel east on Forest Road 14 for about 4 and a half miles to the entrance of the campground.

War on the home front The Oregon Humanities project will tackle the topic of war and its aftermath on Friday, June 6, as freelance photographer and writer Jim Lommasson leads a discussion on “Life After War” in Newport. Lommasson will ask participants to consider what the responsibilities of a community are when it sends its citizens to war. “When does a war end? Does it ever?” he said. “Many returning soldiers bring wars back with them, and these wars can reach beyond the battlefield or firefight, infiltrating the very thing that defines comfort and safety: home.” Jim Lommasson Lommasson has collected oral histories from returning soldiers and documented their struggles at home. In this conversation, participants will consider the wars at home faced not only by returning veterans, but also by communities at large. Based in Portland, Lommasson is working on a book and traveling exhibition about American veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and their lives after their return called “Exit Wounds: Soldiers’ Stories—Life after Iraq and Afghanistan.” The talk will run from 6 to 7:30 pm in the boardroom of Rogue Brewer’s on the Bay 2320 OSU Drive. The free program is co-sponsored by Oregon Coast Community College Foundation For more information, call 541-867-3664.

administration, professor, pundit and author of 13 books. “Bob” as he’s referred to in the ﬁlm, is the hero and guide, shining a light on the urgency of this issue. “Economic imbalances are now at near historically unprecedented levels,” Reich said. “In fact, the two years of widest economic inequality of the last century were 1928 and 2007 — the two years just before the greatest economic crashes of modern times. What is the link between high inequality and economic crashes? What happened to the Middle Class?” After the screening, Jason Gettel,

policy analyst with Oregon Center for Public Policy, will moderate a discussion. The screening will start at 11 am at the Bijou Theater, 1624 NE Hwy 101. There is a suggested donation of $8.

A great way to spend your Wed. One look at the evening news will tell you that ideas about marriage are changing fast across the US. Throughout the past decade, the institution has undergone significant change. These changes are the subject of “Something Old, Something New: Exploring the State of Marriage,” a free conversation with history scholar Leslie Dunlap at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Newport on Wednesday, June 11. “In Oregon, citizens remain in a contentious debate about how to define marriage generally,” she said. “What do the debates about marriage — in this state and beyond — reveal about the institution as a whole? Why is a private Leslie Dunlap relationship so publicly significant and contested?

Histories large and small Authors Mel Brown and Mark Cheney have a few things in common — they both live near the coast and have loving families with lots of grandkids — but when it comes to writing, they could hardly be more different. While Brown recounts tales of a childhood rivaling that of Tom Sawyer, Cheney takes readers on a journey deep into Mayan mythology and its intersections with the Mormon Church. The pair will give brief presentations on their work at a Wednesday, June 11, book signing at Newport Public Library. Brown’s autobiographical novel “The Sanctamooja and Me” is based on his childhood in Washington state’s Spokane-Coeur d’Alene area and on his grandparents’ farm in northern Idaho. Born in 1940, Brown grew up in a time when boys could be boys; and readers might wonder how he and his brothers lived past nine years old. The author now looks back on his charmed youth with wise humor and with the same love for life he had when he was young Brown and his wife, Linda, live near the Oregon Coast, and are blessed with a son, a daughter, a stepson, seven grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. Cheney’s desire to write his historical novel “Mark of the Jaguar – A Book of Mormon Adventure in the Land of the Maya,” was the result of almost 20 years studying the Maya and visiting the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and nearby Central American countries. Based on real archaeological finds in Mesoamerica, this tale follows a young shaman who accepts the challenge to find out the truth about the white and bearded god, Kukulkan. Is he worthy of worship — even to the point of human sacrifice? Cheney and his wife, Sally, retired to the Oregon Coast seven years ago and have six children and 15 grandchildren spread throughout the Western states. The book signing will run from 7 to 8:30 pm in the McEntee Meeting Room downstairs at the library, 35 NW Nye Street.

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

From Blackbeard to Captain Hook to Long John Silver, literature is packed with examples of fearsome pirates doing devilish deeds on the high seas. And now, with the publication of the latest book from Oregon Coast author Ron Lovell, that list has expanded to include Captain Dan, the cutlass-wielding, pastry master of Lincoln City’s Taft district. But readers should not expect to see the buccaneering baker plundering any ports or slitting any gizzards — in Lovell’s book, this pirate is the mayor. “Murder Times Two,” a collection of two novellas, is the 10th book in Lovell’s series of murder mysteries featuring journalism professor and amateur detective Thomas Martindale. Capt. Dan appears as Mayor Danny Morgan in the ﬁrst novella, “Carnival,” which presents a series of grisly goings on at a funfair in the ﬁctional coastal town of Taft-By-The-Bay.

A carnival was not the backdrop Capt. Dan had been lobbying for as he and Lovell, a former journalism professor, chewed over potential story ideas along with the occasional marionberry turnover during their regular chats at the bakery. Capt. Dan said Lovell had been thinking about calling it a day after his ninth Martindale mystery, “Murder in the Steens.” “He said ‘I’ve run out of ideas,’” Capt. Dan said. “Then the tsunami hit and I said, ‘write a murder story about something with the tsunami. You never know what’s going to wash up on shore.’” The captain’s macabre imagination had been ﬁred by stories from a customer about shoes washing ashore still with feet inside. “I thought he was pulling my leg at ﬁrst,” Capt. Dan said. In the end, though, Lovell decided that a carnival setting was irresistible, especially after a friend sent him a detailed description of some of the colorful characters that descend upon Portland when the funfair comes to town. The only problem was that Lovell had already used the captain under his real name as a character in a previous novel, “Murder in E Flat Major,” in which he appears as assistant district attorney Dan Draper, who grills Martindale on the witness stand. “It was a way for me to bring out his colorful personality,” Lovell said. “But it meant we needed a new name for him in this book.” One look at a Morgan’s rum ad taped to the bakery wall was all the captain needed

to decide on Danny Morgan — with the added bonus of it being the maiden name of his wife and baking partner, Kathy. Other characters in “Carnival” include a death-defying fairground ride called the Zipper and an evil clown who wears a devil mask — a prospect that gives the captain a case of the shivers. “I don’t even like regular clowns,” he said. “They just remind me of politicians.” Lovell said Taft was an appealing spot to set a novella, with the added bonus of being close to his home in Gleneden Beach. “Most of my books in the past have been set down south for no good reason, because Newport has the bridge and the lighthouse,” he said. “I’ve never had something up here, which is dumb, because this is where I live.” “In this book, Martindale moves into my house,” he added. And what does the captain think of his portrayal as a civic leader? “I can’t wait for the lawsuits,” he said. “People will come and say ‘when’s the

carnival going to be back in town? I missed it last time.’” The second novella “Innocent,” features Martindale only briefly, focusing instead on Lorenzo Madrid, an attorney familiar to readers of the series, graduating to his first starring role. While the story has a different star, it features a familiar foe — international drug cartels, which, along with Nazis, are Lovell’s go-to choice for bad guys. “There’s also a pedophile priest in this as well,” he said. “I’ve pulled out all the stops.” Lovell said he found it very liberating to work on shorter stories after so many years putting out full-length Martindale mysteries. “A novella to me sounds snooty and literary,” he said. “I never thought I would write one. To me, it’s just a lazy novel — I didn’t want to write a 300-page book.” Lovell will be signing copies of the book from noon to 2 pm on Sunday, June 8, at the bakery and said there is a chance that Capt. Dan might agree to sign too — presumably with an X. “If you buy the book, you get free crumbs on page 35,” Capt. Dan said. “I think that’s where I stopped reading.” Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop is located at 5070 SE Hwy. 101 in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Opening hours are from 9 am to 4 pm every day except Tuesday. To reach them, call 541-996-4600.

Captain Dan’s requests to be featured in a book were hard for Lovell to resist

A play worthy of great prays The prayers of comedy fans have been answered. “The Hallelujah Girls” is coming to Tillamook, with opening night set for Friday, June 6. 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” will open on Friday, June 6, with a gala event starting at 6:30 pm featuring pre-show appetizers and a complimentary beverage of choice. The 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 gang’s all here The Riverbend Players will be taking audiences back in time to an era of mobsters, molls and speakeasies for one ﬁnal weekend as they conclude their dinner theater show “Funeral for a Gangster,” at Tsunami Restaurant in Wheeler. The year is 1928; the place, Ruby’s Speak Easy; the occasion — a funeral service for Vito “The Gut” Marzetti who has been gunned down in a gangland slaying. A colorful guest list includes Frankie “Marbles” Marzetti, played by Greg O’Neill; Ruby “Fingers” Marzetti, played by Linda Olsson; Joey “The Lump” Marzetti, played by Brian McMahon; Lena “The Grieving Widow” Marzetti, played by Betsy McMahon; and Federal Agent Farmer, played by Mike Scott. As the service gets underway, audience members will find themselves presented with a gangland mystery to solve and no

shortage of suspects. Written by Eileen Moushey, directed by Ted Weissbach and hosted by Linda Makohon, this Riverbend Players production promises clever dialogue and hilarious comedy antics. The run will continue through Saturday, June 7, with performances at 7 pm each Friday and Saturday night at the restaurant, located at 380 Marine Drive. Tickets, $25 in advance and $30 at the door, include lasagna, garlic bread, salad and dessert, and are available by calling 503-368-3778.

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

A Beach Street revelation

t one point I was running in the dunes while Sonny the invalid husky struggled to keep up. She wasn’t used to this sort of energetic activity. We tend to meander and ponder on the beach together, not sprint. We’re a foreign ﬁlm, not an action movie. We’re tennis played with wooden rackets, not something shiny molded from oil. We’re a rotary phone conversation, not a text message. But something had unhinged me. I was giddy, mad, unglued, revolutionized, rhapsodized, frothing, pulsing. I had just discovered the greatest collection of driftwood forts on the Oregon Coast, if not North America, if not the world, if not the universe, and I was running to see and touch every one of them, perhaps 20 total. I was so happy at the prospect that I felt on the brink of being a kid again. This collection exists near the South Jetty of Nehalem Bay. It is so vast and varied and beautiful a collection that I insist readers immediately visit this sacred site and add your sweat and ﬂourish to what is clearly an uncoordinated yet collaborative masterpiece of manifest shelter and subconscious art. If you have children, well, not taking them there might constitute a crime against childhood without a statute of limitations. I might also add that encountering (or better yet, building) a driftwood fort on the Oregon Coast dissipates all the worst traits of adulthood. My discovery originated when I bypassed my regular pit stop at the Manhattan Beach State Recreation Area north of Rockaway and

followed the road oﬀ Highway 101 there to its end. I have no idea why I made this choice on a Friday afternoon in April. Perhaps it was because for the ﬁrst time I noticed the road’s name — Beach Street. Why not follow a road with that simple, bucolic name? Surely it will lead to the antithesis of its materialistic and corrosive counterpart, Main Street. It does. Trust me. Find out for yourself and join the driftwood fort revolution. Matt Love is the founder of Nestucca Spit Press, which recently published “Driftwood Forts of the Oregon Coast.” The book is available at all coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

on the cover The two marinas are located right next to each other, just north of Rockaway Beach, and each will release 26 tagged crabs at 9 am on Saturday. Guests will then have until 5 pm that night to return any tagged critters they catch to the marinas in a bid to win the $1,000 grand prize. The event will resume at 9 am Sunday, when guests can try their luck at tracking down any stragglers and claiming more prizes. Participants can crab from the shore or take to a boat and WHAT: Nehalem Bay enjoy the spectacular scenery Crab Derby of the bay. WHERE: Kelly’s Brighton “It’s kind of an event that Marina and Jetty Fishery, gives locals the chance to get Rockaway Beach out and enjoy their own back WHEN: 9 am-5 pm, yard,” Laviolette said, “which Saturday, June 7, & they don’t take advantage of Sunday, June 8 because they are working all COST: $10 the time.” The entry fee is $10 per CALL: 503-368-5745 person, and anyone who is lucky enough to catch more than one of the tagged crabs will need to buy a ticket per crab in order to claim their prizes. Proceeds from the event will be split between the Wildlife Center of the North Coast in Astoria and the Manzanita-based Mudd-Nick Foundation, a group that seeks to broaden the minds of local kids by sending them to classes and camps. The original derby was held to coincide with Father’s Day, a fact that goes some way toward explaining a very unusual prize that was on offer for many years. For nine years running, the Rinehart Clinic, a longtime sponsor and beneficiary, would donate a vasectomy to one of the lucky winners. Laviolette said that prize was no joke, with at least four of the winners taking the clinic up on the offer. Later, the clinic moved to address concerns about sexism and added a booby prize — a well-woman appointment, complete with mammogram. After Oregon law began requiring anglers to have a fishing license, organizers shifted the derby to coincide with Free Fishing Weekend, reducing paperwork as well as costs for the participants. “It frees up a little more money,” Laviolette said. “If they are not spending it on a license, they can spend it on other things.” Prizes on offer at this year’s event include a Green Mountain Grills barbecue set up; gift certificates for Nike, Ringside Restaurant in Portland and lots of local businesses and restaurants; and a hot dog dinner for eight courtesy of the Mudd-Nick Foundation. Laviolette said participants have sometimes been able to win prizes without catching any crabs, like last year, when the crustaceans proved particularly elusive. On that occasion, she said, prizes were distributed to randomly drawn ticket holders — adding that the Great Escape of 2013 still has her puzzled. “I want to put a Go Pro camera on a crab,” she said, “and see what do they really do out there.”

BETTING RING Get your traps in the water for the Nehalem Crab Derby

he rich waters of Nehalem Bay oﬀer great rewards to hungry crab, but are also something of a gamble. With crabbers trying their luck from land and shore, the critters could ﬁnd at any moment that their number is up. And that gambling spirit will extend above the waterline this weekend when the 10th annual Nehalem Bay Crab

Derby gets underway. Contestants will be plunging the depths of the bay in search of the 52 specially tagged Dungeness crab released at the start of the event on Saturday, June 7. At 5 pm that day, a prize draw will match each tag with one of the rewards on offer, ranging from gift certificates and hotel stays to the grand prize of $1,000 in cash. Co-hosted by Jetty Fishery and Kelly’s Brighton Marina, the event is designed for families, with an oystereating contest, rope-coiling contest, live music and kids’ games on offer throughout the weekend. “Crabbing is something that anyone can do,” said Janice Laviolette, co-owner of Kelly’s Brighton Marina. “It takes no skill, no expensive equipment; and there’s always something in the net. Not like fishing where you can sit all day and never see a fish.” Laviolette speaks from experience, having been dragged fishing with her father on countless occasions as a child. “It’s like watching paint dry,” she said. Contrast that with the excitement of kids gathered ’round a crab ring to peer at the catch — enlivened by the ever-constant risk of a little nip — and there’s no contest, she said.

coast culture

The vast and the curious From whale burps and unidentifiable objects that wash up onshore, to surreal beaches with “magic rocks,” there are many oddities and mysteries to be found on the Oregon Coast. Did a sea monster from prehistoric times wash up in Lincoln City? What happened when a whale was blown up on a beach in Florence? How do impossible bottles work? Answers to these questions and many more are on offer in Coastal Curiosities, the new exhibit at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, which opens on Friday, June 6. Museum director Anne Hall said many of the unusual objects on display have been donated to the museum. “Sometimes people just drop them off at our door,” she said, “but most often they come to the museum hoping that we can tell them about the objects they have inherited or found. When we can identify them, all is well, but at times we remain puzzled as to their purpose, time period or the material they are made from. It’s those types of objects we have on display in this exhibit.” Among the mysteries included in the exhibit is the story of the sea

monster that was found at Lincoln City’s D River in 1950. No one at the time could identify the remains of

the creature that washed up on shore, including quite a few scientists. Coastal Curiosities will be on display through the end of the year at the museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. The museum is open from noon to 5 pm, Wednesday through Sunday. Thanks to a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, admission is free. A companion exhibit with the same title and content is also opening at Newport’s Bailey House Museum on June 6.

Time to ink the Squid The Manzanita Writer’s Series is now accepting submissions of writing and artwork for the next issue of the North Coast Squid, the literary magazine that showcases artists with a strong connection to the North Oregon Coast. Writing will be accepted in the categories of poetry; fiction; and narrative non-fiction, which includes memoir — with final selections made by literary judges from outside the local area. Organizers are hoping to get more

work from young writers into this year’s Squid and are planning a workshop to help students from grades 5 through 9 to prepare work for submission. The workshop is tentatively scheduled for early July; check http://hoﬀmanblog.org for updates. Organizers are also looking for black and white photos and line drawings, with the North Coast Squid’s editorial team making the ﬁnal selections. “We invite writers and artists to submit work that goes beyond beach and

Sharing the spotlight The art of Patti Johnson and Diana Perez-Moya will be on display at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery until June 13 in a two-week spotlight show. Johnson was raised on the East Coast and first learned how to paint from her parents. In the years since, she has taken many workshops and college courses to keep improving. Having moved to the Oregon Coast in 1976, she now focuses on portraits in oils as well as china painting, some examples of which will also be on display. She also facilitates the Yaquina Art Association classes at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Diana Perez-Moya also began painting as a child, taking her first oil painting class with the Spanish artist Pepe Garcia at the age of 13. She went on to study different art mediums at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, “Llaveros” by Diana Perez-Moya Colombia, and took a seminar in Fashion Design at Casa Fabricato, also in Bogota. She continued her learning path after she arrived in the United States, when she took ceramic classes with Janet Wallace. Perez-Moya believes nature works in a perfect cycle, which is why upcycling became an important part of her art. She will take a broken mirror and use it as a canvas, and believes any old piece of paper can hide a treasure. “You never know until you really look for the possibilities,” she said. Perez-Moya will be showing her oil painting on canvas, mirrors and paper, as well as acrylic on paper, glossies on mirrors and collage. The gallery is located at 789 NW Beach Drive and is open from 11 am to 4 pm daily.

Beach hits the coast The INHOUSE Jazz concert series will continue on Sunday, June 8, with a performance from pianist Bill Beach, a longtime favorite of discerning Portland jazz audiences. Hosted by vocalist Annie Averre, the afternoon concerts are held from April to September in private residences, allowing small audiences relax and listen to music in a comfortable environment. Sunday’s concert continues the 2014 Piano Series, which features prominent jazz pianists playing on a 1918 Steinway Grand, Model B piano in a Seal Rock home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. In a performing career that spans more than 25 years, Beach has established himself as one of Portland’s most admired players. Taking a great interest in jazz in his early teens, he was influenced by Dave Brubeck and Bill Evans. Over the years, he has played with many notable musicians such as Mark Murphy, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Eddie Harris, Nat Adderley, Jimmy Cobb and Charlie Rouse. He lived and played clubs in Amsterdam in 1984, performed in Japan in 1997, toured European ports in 2001, and started

Bill Beach

to write Brazilian style music with lyrics in Portuguese in 2007. His works are first represented by the album “Letting Go,” which showcases bossa nova standards and original instrumentals. His second album “Brasil Beat” is entirely original. His latest album, “Búzios,” was produced and released in 2011. All profits from the INHOUSE Jazz concert are donated to local charities that support music education. Patrons who came in April and May were able to help with Newport High School’s Band’s travel expenses as

they head to Portland this month to perform for the Starlight Parade. Future proceeds will go toward repair of school band instruments and extra support for struggling music education programs in Lincoln County. The Sunday, June 8, concert will run from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. For reservations, contact Averre at 360-606-7136 or aaverre@ hotmail.com. Admission is by donation and audience members often bring their own beverages and a potluck treat to share. For more information, go to www.inhousejazz.org

Steve Wyatt, executive director of the Lincoln County Historical Society, will speak at the Yaquina River Museum of Art on Saturday, June 7. Wyatt believes that art can reflect history and that Michael Gibbon’s “Yaquina” series documents not only Gibbon’s work and evolution as an artist, but is reflective of Yaquina Bay and an urgency to capture the beauty of the Central Oregon Coast. The free talk will begin at 2 pm at the museum, 151 NE Alder Street. Light refreshments will be served.

To get an idea of the passion behind the art on show during this month’s First Weekend in Toledo, one only has to listen to featured artist Ivan Kelly describe his painting expeditions. “How much I’ve loved all the times I’ve painted early on a deserted Oregon beach,” he said, “and watched the rising sun tint the headland mist pink or ﬂow down the cliﬀs and light the breakers with an impossible brilliance.” Not moved by beaches? How about mountains? “When in the Canadian Rockies, I climbed to a high pass populated with bighorn sheep and got to sit amongst them with sketchbook and camera for as long as I wanted.” Kelly said, “Even though beauty and an uplifting spirit are often absent in our world, these days I believe that many of us still respond with “Grapes on the Vine” by Angela Lehrbass wonder, awe and deep appreciation for our natural world. I know I do.” Kelly’s seascapes, big game paintings and more will be among the art on show this weekend as artists throughout Toledo throw open the doors to their studios and galleries to display work inspired by the theme “Wild at Heart.”

To celebrate World Oceans Day on Saturday, June 7, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is giving people the chance to add a little depth to their knowledge of the oceans that cover three quarters of the planet but remain almost completely unexplored. Humans have explored about five to seven percent of the ocean floor, and only about one-half of one percent of the vast expanses of the water column itself. To inspire visitors to view the ocean and its inhabitants in new ways, the aquarium will host educational presentations performed by SCUBA divers; as well as dissections of A sea sea bass and shark. Guests will otter e ating s be encouraged to get creative for quid conservation by making a branch to add to a marine debris coral reef. To connect the young visitors with the ocean, the Sea & Me Theatre will feature several programs for elementary-school-age kids and their families. The brother-and-sister team behind Sisbro Studios, which produced the award-winning children’s film, “The Shark Riddle,” will present an interactive presentation about sharks that includes clips from the film, games and photo ops with a 23-foot-long inflatable basking shark. Meanwhile, Killer Whale Tales will show participants the ocean through the eyes of orcas. Nearly a dozen ocean-focused organizations will host educational e Deep stations at the aquarium to share their ages of th ss a P ’s m u ri a organizations’ views on the importance of u q a The oceans and the best ways to conserve this global resource. The aquarium will even extend the celebration to Yaquina Bay, where divers will remove trash from intertidal areas of the seafloor. This year, organizers of World Oceans Day are encouraging people to show their commitment to the ocean by promising to do at least one thing to keep it healthy, or share what they are doing to help right now. People who post a selfie of their promise with the hashtag #WorldOceansDay will join the “Selfie for the Sea” initiative A gia and inspire others to do their part nt Pac ific oc for the ocean as well. topus World Oceans Day activities are included with the regular price of admission and will run from 10 am to 5 pm at the aquarium, 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information, call 541-867-3474 or visit aquarium.org.

from the editor Market forces

n 1978, six farmers turned up at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Newport with boxes of produce to sell.

The Newport Farmers Market — the first on the Oregon Coast and only the second in the state — was a roaring success, with the vendors selling out in five minutes flat. Since then, farmers markets have spread like wildfire, Patrick Alexander fueled by the organic food movement and buy local Editor & Publisher campaigns as well as increased interest in where our food comes from and the people who grow it. This summer, the Central Oregon Coast will see 10 farmers markets open for business in the 100-mile stretch from Manzanita to Yachats. Not only are farmers markets spreading but they are growing, too — with more vendors every year and a chance to do more than simply stock up on fresh produce. Now, a trip to the farmers market can be a full-day affair, offering a chance to have lunch; listen to live music; check out local arts and crafts; and learn about local nonprofits. This pull-out-and-keep guide shows you where to find each of the Central Coast’s markets throughout the summer. And keep your eyes peeled for our ongoing farmers market pages in each week’s copy of the Oregon Coast TODAY — for features, market spotlights and vendor listings. Here’s to a bumper year.
