Paris in black and white

The story of one of the world’s greatest cities will be laid out in black and white on Friday, June 7, with the opening of “PARIS,” a retrospective show from photographer Dean Hanson at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The show features more than 100 photographs taken throughout the past 14 years in the French capital, all darkroom-processed and printed on silver gelatin paper. Oregon Coast Council for the Arts will launch the show with an opening reception for the artist on from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, June 7. Hanson was born in Wisconsin in 1944 and grew up in Oregon, where, after training in chemistry, he became the director of the Central Analytical Laboratory at Oregon State University. It was not until the late ’80s that Hanson discovered his love of photography. When he left his university position, he traveled to Paris, an experience that has had a lasting influence on his artistic development, to study and continue to grow as a photographer. “In 1999, I rented an atelier in Paris and spent the next two months studying and working at my craft,” he said. “This is the place I learned to be a photographer, and the place I began

to understand what it is to be an artist. It is a city where nothing changes, and yet, a city where everything changes. The past and the present live side by side. It is there one can walk in the footsteps of the greatest artists and philosophers of the past... From De Vinci to Picasso, Paris has accepted and nurtured art and artists for hundreds of years.” Hanson said he carries just one camera, one lens and a light meter when he works so as to keep his focus on the artistic process rather than technical details. “Art is the product of the artist, not the equipment that is utilized,” he said. “That’s not to say that equipment is unimportant, but it is simply the tool that is used to produce the art… a brush for a painter, a chisel for a sculpture or a camera for a photographer.” Working with film in the darkroom, Hanson can spend hours printing one negative to produce the final image, with the traditional hand printed techniques producing works that are subtle, graphic, sensitive, and sometimes almost ethereal. Hanson has returned many times to Paris, both to continue making photographs and to show his work. His primary subjects are the human form and scenes from his travels throughout

“Gray Scale” by Dean Hanson.

the world. His work can be found in the archives at the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as many private collections in Europe, the United States and the South Pacific. The show will run through July 28 in the Runyan Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. The gallery is open from 11 am to 6 pm, Tuesday through Sunday. For more information, go to www. coastarts.org, or contact Sally Houck at 541-265-6569.

“A Woman of a Certain Age” by Dean Hanson.

Friends hanging out at the gallery

The 4th annual Friends Connecting Through Art show will open on Friday, June 7, at the North County Recreation District Gallery in Nehalem, with artists Dee Koscheski and Lori Dillon joining organizer Lynn Thomas for the month-long show. Thomas, who has been involved in visual and performing arts her entire life, says she receives inspiration for her paintings from the natural beauty of the North Oregon Coast. “My goal is to capture the textures, shapes and movement in the surrounding landscapes,” she said. She paints primarily on found wood, allowing the grain to enhance the visual elements of her art pieces. Meanwhile, Koscheski has been building her pottery skills with formal classes throughout the past year, creating both functional and

artsy

whimsical pieces with imprinted designs and unique glazes. “I’m still being inspired by things I see,” she said. “I’ve learned some new techniques and have added a few new items.” Lastly, Dillon will be presenting works created during an emotional year in which she has dabbled in mediums including acrylic paints, watercolor, pen and ink, soft pastel and mixed media. All three artists will be present at a meet and greet from 5 to 7 pm on Saturday, June 15. In addition to live music and refreshments, each artist will unveil new works on the night. The show runs through July 7 at the gallery, 36155 9th Street, in Nehalem. Call 503-3687008 for information and opening hours.

Connecting through art

Worth a shot Photographers from the Oregon Coast and Willamette Valley have been invited to display their work in “Exposure 2013,” which will be up through July and August in Gallery Five at the Florence Events Center. Each photographer may enter up to three pieces in the show for a one-time entry fee of $20. All photographs must be mounted, framed and wired, ready to hang. Maximum width is 30 inches. All photographs must be available for sale. If a piece sells during the show, the photographer may replace it at no additional fee. Photographs must be delivered to the FEC in person on Monday, July 1, and picked up on Tuesday, Sept. 3. An artists’ reception will be held in the gallery from 5:30-7:30 pm on July 11 during the Oregon Bach Festival and is hosted by the FEC. Applications are available at eventcenter.org. Deadline for entries is 5 pm Friday, June 2.

Showered with praise

Author! Author!

The Friends of the Waldport Library are sponsoring an afternoon with two local authors on Saturday, June 8 — Mary Frisbee, author of the Trout Brooke series of mysteries; and Sophie Goodwin-Rice, winner of the grand prize in the 2013 Waldport Library Writing Competition. Goodwin-Rice, an eighth-grade student in Waldport, received the highest score out of the 26 entries in the competition, which asked students to write a piece of between 800 1500 words that featured the Oregon Coast. Frisbee was born and raised in Montana, and is currently professor of drawing at the University of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls. Along with her husband, Mark, and their cats, Frisbee divides her time between Iowa, Montana and Waldport. She has published three books in the Trout Brooke series. Her work in drawing, metals and sculpture has been shown in many exhibitions, and is currently in the medals collection of the British Museum. Both authors will be discussing their work and taking questions at the June 8 event, which will begin at 2 pm at the Waldport Community Center, 265 Hemlock Street. Light refreshments will be served.

Author Matt Love estimates that 1.5 tons of rain have fallen on him during his 16 years living on the Oregon Coast. Who better, then, to write about Oregon’s most famous cultural asset and what it means to live in one the rainiest places on earth? Love, a columnist for the Oregon Coast TODAY, began his project in October 2012, as the longest summer drought in recorded Oregon history ďŹ nally gave way to the rainy season. “When this project began, I had no idea where it was going. Rain is like that,â€? he said. “I did, however, have the modest ambition to write the greatest book on rain in the history of Oregon literature.â€? Three months later, Matt Love in a rare dry moment Love produced “Of Walking in Rain,â€? a 190-page volume that has very little to do with weather and everything to do with life. The book, which was written during the four wettest months of the second rainiest year in Newport history, blends an eclec-

tic variety of literary genres, including memoir, essay, vignette, diary, reportage, guide, criticism, satire, stream of consciousness, homework, meditation, review, commentary, oral history, weather report, discography, liner notes, polemic, curriculum and confession. “Of Walking in Rain� also features etchings of rain by renowned artist Frank Boyden. Love, the author of 10 books and a winner of the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award, lives in South Beach and teaches creative writing and journalism at Newport High School.

Simply marble-ous A squid in search of some ink

The Newport Public Library’s Reading Circle will discuss “Beneath a Marble Sky� by John Shor, on Tuesday, June 11. Set at the height of the Mughal Empire in India, “Beneath a Marble Sky� re-creates the lives of those responsible for the Taj Mahal’s existence. From the famous lovers who inspired it, Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal; to the architect who designed it to the man who sought to destroy it, “Beneath a Marble Sky� recounts the stories of those who oversaw the rise of the world’s most famous building. The discussion will take place at noon at the library, 35 NW Nye Street, Newport. This program is free and open to the public.

Murder a good book this summer New York Times bestselling mystery author Robert Dugoni will be visiting Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City on Sunday, June 9, to help open the library’s 2013 Adult Summer Reading Club. Dugoni, an attorney and former journalist, made the New York Times bestseller list with his debut novel “The Jury Master” and has a career that is a testament to the way in which a love of the written word can grab hold of a person and refuse to let go. Born in Pocatello, Idaho, and raised in Burlingame, Calif., Dugoni knew by the seventh grade he wanted to be a writer. As the middle child of 10, he jokes that he turned to

Robert Dugoni

writing because he could never get a word in edgewise with his siblings. After studying at Stanford University, he worked as a reporter before enrolling at UCLA School of Law. Despite attaining a partnership in a San Francisco law firm, Dugoni’s longing to return to writing never wavered, and in 1999 he made the decision to quit his full-time practice to write novels. On his wedding anniversary he drove a U-Haul trailer across the Oregon-Washington border and settled in Seattle to pursue his dream. For the next three years, Dugoni worked in an 8-foot-by-8-foot windowless office in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. He completed

three novels, two of which won the 1999 and 2000 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contests. However it was Dugoni’s nonfiction expose, “The Cyanide Canary,” that gave him his start in the business. Published in 2004, the critically acclaimed true story chronicled the investigation, prosecution, and aftermath surrounding an environmental crime in Soda Springs, Idaho. It became a Washington Post Best Book of the year, and the Idaho Book of the Year. “The Jury Master” followed the next year, a tale of murder and deception featuring wrongful death attorney David Sloane, that led The Seattle Times to liken Dugoni to a

young John Grisham. “The Conviction,” the fifth in the David Sloane series, was released in June 2012. In addition to writing novels, Dugoni teaches writing throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The June 9 talk is at 3 pm in the library, on the 2nd floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. Following the presentation, anyone 17 or older may sign up to take part in this year’s Adult Summer Reading Club. Details will be available at sign up, or by contacting Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or via e-mail, kenh@lincolncity.org.

Art and all that jazz

Pianist Steve Christofferson and vocalist Annie Averre will take center stage at the Sunday, June 9, INHOUSE Jazz INHOUSE Art concert, with live art created onsite by OZONE Fine Art’s Karen Candelario. Christofferson plays piano in clubs and jazz festivals around the world and accompanies Grammy-nominated vocalist Nancy King. He has toured Europe with the Alan Jones Sextet, performed in China with Mia Nicholson and worked with Jim Pepper, Kurt Elling, Karrin Allyson and many others. Christofferson creates his signature sound by doubling on melodica, which he makes a surprisingly poignant tool for improvisation as well as for lead lines. He lays down graceful chord structures on piano, filling in atmospheric washes or subtly funky solos, thickening the tonal palette with the

melodica’s distinctive blend of innocence and yearning. The music will be performed on a stunning 1918 Steinway Grand, Model B just five years short of its 100th birthday in a home overlooking the ocean in Seal Rock. The homeowners are deeply connected to Newport’s arts community and have graciously opened their house for these informal gatherings. The audi-

ence is encouraged to bring their own beverages and a potluck treat. All interested in attending should call 360-606-7136 for location and directions prior to the concert. All INHOUSE concerts are 2:30-5:30 pm on the second Sunday of every month. There is no charge for these sessions, but a donation of $15-$20 is suggested to cover concert costs.

A picture of cool

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and painter Kathy Kosins will write a love letter to jazz greats as she performs “Ladies of Cool” on Saturday, June 8, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. But rather than a pen, Kosins will wield a paintbrush as she intersperses a musical homage to Anita O’Day, June Christy, Chris Connor and Julie London with live on-stage painting. Presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts “Ladies of Cool” will see Kosins tell the renowned singers’ stories through their own songs, words, anecdotes and images. Kosins grew up in Detroit’s internationally known jazz and R&B scene and was initially known as a singer of soul, rock and funk. For the past 15 years, however, she has become famous as one of the most successful jazz singers of the contemporary era. She is known for her exploration of West Coast Cool with particular emphasis on those extraordinary singers of the 1940s and 1950s.

Anita O’Day, a prominent female jazz singer, jump-started her career in the early 1940s with Gene Krupa’s band, followed by stints with Woody Herman and Stan Kenton before embarking on a solo career. June Christy’s warm smooth voice followed O’Day into the Stan Kenton Orchestra in 1945. Her style was ultra-cool and sexy. She is best remembered for her interpretations of “Something Cool” and “Midnight Sun.” Chris Connor sang with band leader Claude Thornhill and was discovered by June Christy. She worked with Stan Kenton before going off on her own. She recorded more than 40 records and her signature song was “All About Ronnie.” The June 8 performance will begin at 7 pm at 777 NW Olive Street, with Kosins supported by Jazz Party favorites Randy Porter, John Wiitala and Todd Strait. The show is a benefit for the 10th annual Oregon Coast Jazz Party, For tickets, call 541265-ARTS [2787].

Dancers wanted, you catch midriff?

The Newport Community Drum Circle is looking for belly dancers of all skill levels, from dabbler to professional, to join the drummers onstage for this month’s Second Saturday Summer Drum Jam on Saturday, June 8. “Grab your zils, drapes, coinbelts, fishnet gloves, belly button jewels, veils, fans, Isis wings, bindis, and snake rings (or just a comfortable pair of old jeans) ...” Drum Circle Coordinator Chandler Davis said. “If you are a drummer or Middle Eastern musician, we want your doumbecs, darboukas, ouds, tars, benirs, riqqs, mijwizes, and kanounes.” Davis said the ensemble, which is hosting the Nye Beach event for the third year, has added some new Middle Eastern rhythms to the set at the request of their flute player, Mary-Beth Nickel, and the members are excited about how well the new rhythms sound with her Native American flutes. He said the ensemble will also be joined by special guest Gary Brooker, of the Clean Slate Duo and the Golden Gate Trio, who will be accompanying Nickel and the drummers on the eerily compatible fretless bass. Davis said other types of dancers and drummers are also welcome as the ensemble plays a wide variety of world percussion songs and rhythms, including West African, Afro Latin, Polynesian, and — if there are folks coming from the Newport Celtic Festival — maybe even a couple of jigs and reels. The all-ages, family-friendly event, described as “part street performance, part jam session, and part community block party,” takes place rain or shine from 2 to 5 pm on the large outdoor stage in the courtyard at Cafe Mundo, 209 NW Coast Street. The event is free and no purchase is required. There is seating in the courtyard and food and beverage service are available for those who want it. Drummers and dancers who want to participate should show up early to make arrangements or contact Davis in advance at chandler@chandlerdavis. com or 541-272-4615.

Featured guests on the show will be The Gold Coast Chorus men’s chorus from Coos Bay, directed by David Aakre. Chartered in 1953, the chorus is one of the oldest in the northwest. No barbershop show would be complete without quartets singing that close harmony, and this show is no exception and includes some of the best on the Coast. From the Coastal Aires, two groups will render their own particular style of barbershop harmony familiar to all. “The 2 Bay 4” with Eric Seaman, Mike Eastman, Alex Nez and Roy Robertson is an established quartet from Newport. “Vocal Point” with Brian Haggerty, Mike Rosica, Jim Hoover and Richard Giles is a perennial favorite of Newport audiences They are sporting a new name, but their familiar sound is the same. Also performing will be The Breakers from Coos Bay — a quartet that ‘breaks’ with tradition and sings music from genres other than barbershop. Representing the Sweet Adelines will be the

Pulling a few strings How else do you get world-class musicians to the coast for two weeks? By Patrick Alexander Mei-Ting Sun at work

Oregon Coast TODAY

T

he instruments are tuned; the lights are ready; the bow ties are clean and pressed. And, on Wednesday, June 12, after a moment of hush in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, the Siletz Bay Music Festival will begin, signaling the start of two weeks of world-class music at the Oregon Coast. This year’s festival is the biggest yet, with nine ticketed concerts at three venues as well as three free community events, including a concert designed specially for children. The festival began in 2008 as Soundwaves, a one-week, four-concert project of the nonproďŹ t Let There Be Arts group. In 2012, it struck out on its own under its new name, a decision Executive Director Sue Parks-Hilden said was “scary.â€? “It was kind of ying by the seat of our pants,â€? she said. “But we had a lot of conďŹ dence.â€?

The

Largest Builder on the

Oregon Coast

And rightly so, it seems. The 2012 festival doubled the ticket sales from the 2011 event and this year’s festival looks set to build on that success, with organizers having obtained many more grants to help bring even more music to the coast. That increased budget has allowed the festival to add an additional concert at a new venue, Eden Hall in Gleneden Beach, where performers will oer “Musical Tapasâ€? on Sunday, June 16. Parks-Hilden said the event will be a casual setting where the audience will be able to lounge in comfortable chairs and enjoy hors d’oeuvres and wine as they listen. “It’s not really a concert setting,â€? she said. “It will be like you are in the living room.â€? “It’s something that groups are starting to do, especially on the East Coast,â€? she added, “and

we thought it sounded like fun.� The festival will also be returning to the Lincoln City Cultural Center with four chamber music concerts; and to Salishan Spa & Golf Resort in Gleneden Beach, for more chamber music as well as three performances by the full Siletz Bay Music Festival Orchestra. This year’s orchestra concerts will take place in Salishan’s Long House, oering roughly twice as many seats as last year. Performers at this year’s festival include returning musicians such as jazz pianist Dick Hyman, violinist Haroutune Bedelian and classic pianist Mei-Ting Sun as well as new talents including soprano Nicole Greenidge Joseph and cabaret artist Susannah Mars. Parks-Hilden said credit for assembling such a talented lineup goes to the festival’s Artistic Director Yaacov Bergman, who takes input from

board members into consideration but makes the ďŹ nal decisions himself. “It’s his call,â€? she said. “He’s been here long enough. He knows his audience and, God knows, he knows his music.â€? Parks-Hilden said, as well as attracting visitors to the coast, the festival enriches the community by bringing truly “top notchâ€? musicians to play in local venues. “I could be in New York, LA or Chicago,â€? she said. “I could be anywhere in a concert hall listening to this music. It’s that good.â€? And these world-class musicians truly get a taste of the coast when they attend the festival because, in order to contain costs, organizers have the performers lodge with local families, bed and breakfast style.

Siletz Bay Music Festival Performances

Parks-Hilden said the fact that people are willing to open their homes, not to mention donate lunches and dinners for the rehearing musicians, shows how much the community has embraced the festival. “It’s really astounding how kind and generous and supportive people here are,” she said. As a ‘thank you’ to the community for all its support, the festival offers a free chamber music concert at the cultural center on Monday, June 17, as well as the children’s concert at Salishan on Saturday, June 22. This year’s offering “The Three-Legged Monster” by Tzvi Avni is a full-orchestra performance with a slide show and narration aimed at introducing kids to the instruments on show. In addition to the children’s concert, the festival aims to help young musicians by offering free seats to selected youth ambassadors who agree to help out at concerts. “We are trying to give them that experience of coming to a nice place and watching fabulous music and seeing what professional musicians do,” Parks-Hilden said. Local music students are also welcome at the June 16 master class at Lincoln City Cultural Center in which pianist Gerald Robbins and

In the course of our subsequent meeting, Rinearson shared his vision for ocean education and how it naturally uniďŹ es instruction for all teachers and students. I would say it was about the most fascinating professional conversation I’ve had in my 20 years of teaching. One has to wonder if there is another school district superintendent in the country who shares a similar vision and would contact a teacher in his employ out of the blue to discuss that vision. At the conclusion of our meeting, Rinearson oered me a part-time position to assist with the district’s ocean education eorts. In other words, I was given the time to observe, think, study, document, strategize, teach, read and research all things related to ocean education. I might also add that Rinearson had no agenda whatsoever. As I left his oďŹƒce he said, “Just see what happens and help tell a story about who we are.â€? It was basically a dream job for a beach and ocean fanatic like me and I knew I would dragoon my English and journalism students into the telling of that “story.â€? The result of our collaboration is Devocean: Exploring Our Big Blue Backyard, a special 24-page issue of

Field trip, Oregon Coast style

Newport High School’s magazine, the Harbor Light, that came out in late May. This publication contains some of the best student writing of my career and one senior prom vignette that might be the best beach story I’ve ever read. (Devocean is free and available around the county where other magazines are distributed.) What I learned and witnessed this past year truly astonished me. I doubt another coastal school district in the nation has evinced more passion for the ocean than Lincoln County, or employs teachers who recognize the importance of academically integrating the ocean into their students’ lives.

As far as the students themselves go, well, I have always maintained that the best writing I have ever read from coastal students emanates when they write about something connected to the ocean. It’s in their blood and becomes their greatest cultural asset when they go out to compete in the so-called “realâ€? world. I ďŹ rmly believe that. After concluding my investigation, I would estimate about 150 K-12 teachers in the district use the ocean in some curricular capacity. Many of these teachers simply invented their own curriculum but also utilized the incredible ocean-related educational resources that exist

in Lincoln County, such as people who work for the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Oregon State Parks. Some of the more fascinating lessons/projects I encountered were in wave energy, ďŹ sheries science, tsunami awareness, community service, photography, poetry, SCUBA diving, ďŹ lmmaking, water quality monitoring, surďŹ ng, visual art, eco-tourism, activism, architecture through sandcastles, driftwood forts and so much more. I even got to see my colleague, English teacher Nina FairďŹ eld, sprint into the ocean after a walking ďŹ eld trip from the campus to the beach. Many of her students followed her lead. They’ll remember that for the rest of their lives. You always do when you see a teacher’s passion in action. It’s also worth nothing that some of the ocean-related academic experiences involved ďŹ eld trips to free Oregon Coast beaches that didn’t involve any academic study at all; they simply encouraged Lincoln County School District students (and teachers) to play near the ocean. That sort of thing never appears on a state test or is deemed worthy of being deďŹ ned as a learning standard, which of course, means it is precisely worth doing because it probably has spiritual, creative, community, and existential value.

Plaid you could make it … … to this year’s Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

T

he word ‘Celt’ conjures in the minds of many an image of a ginger-haired, kilt-wearing, bagpiper, roaming the heather-strewn hills of Scotland, looking for a hammer to throw, a caber to toss or a pint to drink. But as the Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games is at pains to point out, Scotland is but one of seven Celtic nations, sharing a cultural heritage with its neighbors in Ireland, Wales, The Isle of Man, Cornwall in southwest England, Brittany in northwest France, and Galicia in northwest Spain. That’s a lot of ground to cover with one festival, but a look at the program for this year’s event suggests that organizers have done justice to the task. This year’s action begins a day early, with series of fringe events on Friday, June 7, including a Kilted Kilometer Fun Run at Nye Beach to raise money for the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. Registration opens at 1 pm for a 2 pm start. After the race, there will be a Sand Castle Competition at the Nye Beach turnaround at 3:30 pm. At 6 pm, the light of foot can take to the floor of the gym at Sam Case Elementary School for a fest-noz, a Breton-style community dance featuring music from bands Sonerion and Mistral. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children 7 and older. Those in need of refreshment can head to Stone Crest Cellar B&B for a whiskey-tasting seminar at 6:30 pm, featuring a range of single malts. Tickets are $35. At 8:45 pm, bagpipers will bring the day to a close with a free “Piping Down the Sun” performance at the Nye Beach turnaround. On Saturday, June 8, the festival proper will begin at 9:30 am, with a free Celtic Heritage Parade at the Newport High School track, featur-

ing Celtic clans and societies as well as pipers, pipe bands and performers. The parade is also open to anyone who has a Celtic dog (check your breed at the festival’s website) or ginger hair. “We do a Gingers on Parade to make it a positive thing to be ginger instead of what South Park did,” Celtic Heritage Alliance Executive Director Belinda Goody said. “The ‘Kick a Ginger Day’ didn’t go too well in real life.” After the opening parade, the action shifts to the Lincoln County Fairgrounds for two Dressed to kill days of music, food, crafts and vendors alongside the eye-opening feats of strength on show as the Highland Games get underway. Goody said this year’s games will be bigger than ever, with more than 50 competitors already signed up, from seasoned competitors to 15-year-old coastal local Hailey Mowell, trying out in the novice category. Among the oldest sporting traditions in the world, the Highland Games requires a range of skills to complete. But one thing is for sure, being strong helps — a lot. Many of the events involve throwing stones, weights or hammers as far as possible, while the sheaf toss sees competitors using a pitchfork to fling a weighted burlap sack over a crossbar that keeps getting higher. But in probably the best known of all the Highland Games, tossing the caber, accuracy matters. Competitors who succeed in flipping the heavy wooden pole end over end, will then get the opportunity to win $100 by tossing the “Clan MacLaren Challenge Caber” — all 18 and a half feet and 140 pounds of it. “Just a wee stick,” Goody said.

The mini Highland games

Anyone can sign up to take part in the Highland Games up until 9 am on Saturday, June 8, provided there is room in their class. Aside from the heaving and throwing and tossing on the field of play, attractions will include sheepdog herding demos, a Celtic fashion show, a bonnie knees contest (kilts mandatory) and a demonstration match of hurling — a sport best described as a cross between hockey and mortal combat. Also on offer are a Welsh skillet toss for women only and the haggis eating competition at which Clan Ross will be defending their title. Music will run the gamut from pipers and pipe bands to Texas-based rock band Murder the Stout; Breton-style music from Mistral and Sonerion; and Celtic/didgeridoo fusion tunes from Brother. At the dance stage, demonstrations will include Scottish country dance, French Breton dance and sean-nós, or “old style,” Irish dance. And kids can try their feet at a

Goody said the festival is a perfect

outing for families with kids, people with dogs or people who feel like dressing up and getting into the spirit of things. “There are seven nations to choose from,” she said. “You could be festive and French or any other combination. Just bring your open mind and have a great time.”

Getting a peace of history

The United States has not had a Secretary of War since 1949 when officials ditched the title in favor of the slightly gentler “Secretary of Defense.” But the title will always spur a tinge of nostalgia for the old timers of Taft, which was named after War Department bigwig William Howard Taft in 1906 — three years before he ascended to the presidency. To find out why pioneer settlers named their town after the early 20th century’s answer to Chuck Hagel, take a walk

back in time in the company of local historian John Blaine, who will be the guide on a new series of walking tours of Taft and the Siletz Bay area. The tours, offered by the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, will run every Thursday to Sunday through Sept. 12, weather permitting. Beginning with the early history of Siletz Bay, the tour will include information and photos of Taft’s first residents and continue through early development and the migration of people and businesses from the Siletz bay front to

Highway 101. Blaine, a member of the museum’s board of directors and an active member of the Bay Area Merchants Association, will focus on buildings and businesses that contributed to the development of the Taft area, especially those still in existence today. The tour route is a little more than a half mile and takes about an hour. Tours will begin at 1:30 pm, and participants should sign up at the museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. To schedule a special tour day or time, call 541-996-6614.

The Yarn Over Yachats group is encouraging closet knitters along the Oregon Coast to shed their inhibitions and take their hobby into the streets to mark World Wide Knit in Public Day on Saturday, June 8. Started in 2005, WWKPD sees thousands of people all over the world picking up their yarn and knitting in parks, train stations, schools, coffee houses and anywhere else they please. The Yarn Over Yachats group will meet by the flag-

pole in front of the Yachats Commons from 11 am to 1 pm. Everyone is invited to participate and the action is not limited to knitting. Handiwork such as embroidery, tatting, hooking and needlepoint is also welcome, as are non-crafters who can chat with the knitters and even learn the basics. Last year, Yarn Over Yachats decorated the town with knitted critters, some of which will be on display around the flagpole. For more information, contact Nikki Carlsen, 541-547-3430.

The cherry on the cake

With Haystack Rock, the Nestucca River and the Pelican Pub all within a stone’s throw of one another, Pacific City has always had a strong claim to be the beach town that has everything. Well, on Sunday, June 16, it truly will, when the Pacific City Farmers Market begins its first season. The market will be open from 10 am to 2 pm every Sunday from June 16 through Sept. 29 in the parking lot of the South Tillamook County Library on the corner of Brooten Road and Camp Street. The market still has spaces available for vendors, especially those that sell meat, wine and cheese, as well as musicians interested in performing during market hours. For more information, call market manager Dawn Beyer at 541-460-0656.

Seashore Family Literacy in Waldport is inviting people to attend a blessing of the fleet with a difference on Sunday, June 9, with the vessels in question having handlebars rather than hulls and saddles in place of sterns. Created as way to promote good health and recreation, the Green Bike program

provides bicycles for anyone to ride, any time, to any destination — no questions asked. Riders are encouraged to use the bikes for fun and transportation and leave them in an accessible spot for the next person. Adult and youth volunteers work together to restore and maintain more than 100 community bicycles.

The Green Bike Open House & Blessing of the Fleet will take place from 3 to 6 pm, at the Green Bike Co-Op, 115 Hwy. 101, Waldport, with a service led by Susan Church of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. The free event will include a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres. Donations accepted.

An event worth its salt The Oregon Coast Aquarium will team up with marine conservation groups around the planet to celebrate World Oceans Day on Saturday, June 8. Activities on offer will include interactive education presentations, a fish dissection and SCUBA diving presentations in the Passages of the Deep and Oregon Kelp Forest exhibits. Ocean Discovery Stations will provide visitors the opportunity to learn what sea otter fur feels like and how many teeth sharks have. Stations set up by groups including NOAA National Marine Fisheries and the Fishermen’s Wives, will give guests the chance to learn about these organizations’ perspectives on the role the ocean plays in peoples’ daily lives, and the best ways to protect its future. Guests who want to embrace their artistic side can create a “coral branch” made of plastic and Styrofoam pieces that were once marine debris. These branches will be pieced together over the course of the day to form a colorful recycled reef.

Transforming marine debris

All activities are included with paid admission. The aquarium is open every day this summer from 9 am to 6 pm at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information call 541-867-3474 or visit www.aquarium.org.

Get in line

The Newport Senior Center is offering a new line dancing class, starting on Monday, June 10, giving students the triple benefit of staying fit, improving memory and socializing with fellow dancers. The instructor is Maggie Bice, who has taught all levels of line dance for more than 15 years. The beginners’ class, at 1 pm, does not require any previous line dance experience. The second class, at 2 pm, is for more experienced dancers who already know most of the basic steps such as vine, shuffle, jazz box, coaster step, strut, rocking chair and lock step. The classes are free. To sign up, stop by the center, 20 SE 2nd Street, or call 541-2659617. See www.newportoregon.gov/sc for more.

How to get a head in brewing At the Rusty Truck, it’s simple: Just strap on your crash helmet By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

W

hen the brewers at Rusty Truck Brewing Company in Lincoln City hear Brian Whitehead fire up his motorbike, they know it’s going to be a busy week. That’s because Whitehead (attorney by day and entrepreneur by night) has the uncanny knack of choosing road trips that end with a whole lot of work and a whole lot of fun. Exhibit A: Rusty Truck’s Cherry Chocoholic Baltic Porter, the brewery’s most successful beer to date. It began with a road trip through orchards late in the season and the spontaneous purchase of several hundreds of pounds of very ripe black cherries. The cherries were picked up by Rusty Truck and the next day Whitehead asked his brewmaster Paul Thomas to start work on using the cherries with chocolate. Whitehead said Thomas took the idea and ran with it, deciding to use a lager yeast and a longer fermentation period to create a lighter-bodied porter that could support the additional flavors. “Porter can be very heavy,” Whitehead said. “If you add cherries and chocolate to it, you can make it into a thick syrup.” No such worries with Rusty Truck’s Cherry Chocoholic, which Portland Monthly magazine rated tied for second out of the more than 50 beers on offer at the Holiday Ale Fest last December. Two months later, it went on to win the best beer at the KLCC microbrew fest in Eugene, a contest that included more than 100 craft brews. “He has a knack for making a good beer,” Whitehead said of Thomas, who joined Rusty Truck from Pelican Pub & Brewery last May. In order to accommodate Thomas’ desire to create crisp, clear beers, Whitehead invested in new equipment to allow the brews to mature in fermenters rather than in the kegs, a process that makes for less sediment. The brewery’s latest offering is the Nelscott Reefer Smoked Hempeweizen, a German wheat beer made with not only hemp seed but also smoked malt — to give it a slightly smoky flavor that Whitehead said is to remind people of bonfires at the beach. And those who want to double up and drink that smoky, 5.2-percent brew while actually

The rest of the Rusty Truck Brewing fleet

sitting around a beach fire are in luck — the Hempeweizen will be among the first beers bottled at the Rusty Truck when bottling equipment comes online this summer. The Hempeweizen takes its name from the Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic surf contest held in Lincoln City each year. The surfers in this contest, “Nelscott Reefers,” take on 50foot waves, freezing waters, horrible weather conditions and the occasional great white shark, so Whitehead thought they deserved

a beer named after them. Once bottled, the beer’s label will feature this year’s winner of the contest, Jamie Sterling, in what Whitehead hopes will be the start of a new tradition. In addition to seasonal offerings like the Hempeweizen, Whitehead aims to bottle and distribute some of the brewery’s year round favorites, including its IPA, amber and blackberry ale, the last of which is made with one of the coast’s most characteristic ingredients. “We are trying to use ingredients that are local and indigenous to the area,” he said. “What if not for blackberries? They are everywhere. You can’t get rid of the damn things.” So far, the brewery has created 17 different beers and, in order to keep up with the demand for unique craft brews, Whitehead has set aside one of the 10-barrel fermenters for “Brewer’s Whim” — essentially, whatever catches Thomas’ imagination. Previous whims include the mighty Frühlingsfest Helles Bock, a German style lager,

24 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • june 7, 2013

but Thomas said his next creation will likely be a light IPA or black IPA designed for easy summer drinking. Though it will soon have bottles for sale, the brewery still fills beer “to go” in growlers and grenades. But this summer, if you are very lucky, Rusty Truck brews might come to you instead. And that brings us to Exhibit B in the case of Whitehead and his madcap road trips: the Thirst Rescue vehicle. Whitehead chanced across the 1966 Suburban, a former Pedee rural fire mountain rescue vehicle with just 6,000 original miles on the clock, at the side of the road during a motorcycle ride through Kings Valley. Smitten, he pulled over and started to negotiate with the owner about the $5,000 price tag only to find out that several other buyers had already offered full price and were on their way back with the cash. A quick whip ‘round among Whitehead and his five biking buddies yielded $660, enough to persuade the seller to hold the truck for them. Now restored, the truck boasts a new engine, siren and beacon, but the real action is around the side, where jockey box beer taps offer liquid refreshment to those in need on Lincoln City’s beaches. “We go down to the beach and will thirst rescue people by giving them beer,” Whitehead said. “Dehydration is bad for you.” The Thirst Rescue rig, which also pops up at beer festivals throughout the state, is one of a fleet of distinctive vehicles at the brewery, including a pair of flatbed trucks that double as a stage for bands, and a refrigerated 1956 Ford with 16 beer taps along the side. “Most guys are in love with old trucks for some reason,” Whitehead said “but they are stupid. They get horrible gas mileage. They break... Now I have a good reason to have them.” Whitehead is currently in the process of restoring yet another old truck to add to the fleet, a task that’s sure to keep him busy — at least until the next road trip rolls around. Rusty Truck Brewery and its sister restaurant and bar, Roadhouse 101, are at 4649 S.W. Hwy. 101.

Brush up on jazz Nationally acclaimed jazz vocalist Kathy Kosins will explore the relationship between jazz and painting at an “Improvisation on Canvas� clinic on Friday, June 7, at the Newport Visual Arts Center. In additional to being a jazz musician, Kosins has maintained a second career as a visual artist, primarily as a painter of abstract original canvases, and has enjoyed gallery showings of her works in North and South America. “Music and painting are equal parts of who I am,� she said. “I sing what I paint and I paint what I sing. I use the lyric and melody for color and shape inspiration.� Students who participate in the clinic will paint to music from jazz artists of the bebop era, including Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. The focus is on the freedom of expression in the abstract, using texture and colors for guidance. Kosins will encourage students to paint totally from intuition, to “hear� in color, and to“listen� for shape inspiration.“This is a great learning tool for thinking outside the box and on the spur of the moment,� she said. “Students will be asked to have no preconceived ideas before they start applying their medium

Kathy Kosins

to canvas or paper.� Students can paint in acrylic, pastels or watercolor and should bring their own supplies. The June 7 clinic, sponsored by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will run 1 to 3 pm at the center, 777 NW Beach Drive. For a full description of the clinic, supplies and cost, call 541-265-2787 or email crickbone@coastarts.org. Kosins’ paintings can be viewed through Saturday, June 8, in the lobby of the Newport Performing Arts Center and she will appear at an artist reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, June 7, in the PAC Lobby.

The vibrant colors of Colombia will be on display at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery during a two-week artisan spotlight show featuring Diana Perez-Moya, starting Saturday, June 8. Perez-Moya was born in Bogota, Colombia, and the memories of bright and explosive colors are imprinted in her and her work. Having grown up in a big city, she always dreamed of a small place by the ocean. She even painted it. Now she is excited to be living on the Oregon Coast after falling in love back in 1999, following her heart to the U.S. and becoming a citizen in 2008. When she was 13, Perez-Moya took her ďŹ rst oil painting class with Spanish artist Pepe Garcia and continued taking his classes for many

years. She has studied dierent art mediums at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and took a seminar in fashion design at Casa Fabricato, also in Bogota. She continued her learning path in the United States, when she took ceramic classes with Janet Wallace. Since joining the Yaquina Art Association in 2012, she

has taken some drawing classes and is experimenting with glossies (a water based paint). As well as glossies, Perez-Moya will be displaying dierent mediums; pyrography, acrylic on wood and ceramic, and jewelry with handmade beads and collage. Perez-Moya is also interested in upcycling — reusing materials that would otherwise ďŹ nd their way into the waste stream. “It worries and saddens me to see how much we waste,â€? she said. “A broken mirror can be a great canvas, the discarded small pieces of something can become an important part of a new, useful and beautiful thing.â€? The show runs 10 am to 5 pm daily through June 21 at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive, Newport.

Just floating an idea

For everyone who has been intrigued by the sight of an osprey or bald eagle perched atop one of the starched skeleton trees of the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, this summer will offer the chance to learn more about the area’s wildlife and natural history. The US Fish and Wildlife Service is running a series of 10 guided canoe and kayak trips on the refuge throughout June, July and April. 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, and the refuge also provides nursery grounds for Coho and Chinook salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout. The trips last roughly two hours and participants must provide their own canoe or kayak. Single-person kayaks can be rented from the Siletz Moorage or other venues in the Lincoln City area. Dress for the weather and remember that personal flotation devices (PFDs) are mandatory.

Birding expert Mark Elliott will lead a tour of two Salmon River Estuary restoration sites just north of Lincoln City in a Saturday, June 8, field trip organized by Audubon Society of Lincoln City. Participants will have a chance to see the waterfowl, song birds and raptors who have returned to these sites following completion of restoration projects during the past few years. Birders on last year’s walk through this area spotted 36 species. The walk is flat, but ground is uneven in some areas. No prior birding experience is required, and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Dress for the weather. From Lincoln City, drive north on Hwy. 101 just past the junction of Hwy. 18. Turn left onto N. Frazier Road just before the Salmon River. For more information, go to http://lincolncityaudubon.org/calendar.html.
