After all, where else can you watch track-pounding jockeys urge their crustacean steeds on to victory while munching on a crab melt made from the unlucky loser of the previous race? See page 22

A CLASS OF THEIR OWN

Taft High students shine at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery

In the

SPOTLIGHT Newport artist Ann Nicholson will be displaying a selection of handcrafted wire jewelry and lively watercolor prints when the latest Spotlight Show from the Yaquina Art Association opens this Saturday, March 11. Nicholson has been an active artist in the area for 23 years and sells her work at farmers markets and local shops as well as the Yaquina Art Association Gallery itself. “I started making wire jewelry to sell at the local farmers markets to make money,” Nicholson said, “but ended up loving the sheer creativity I could express by bending wire in different shapes and using various bead combinations. I predominantly use glass beads as I like the color and sparkle of them. I’m sort of a Myna

bird in that way. Wire jewelry making is very satisfying to me in that I can keep changing with experience and new ideas that come to me.” Nicholson learned how to paint in watercolors at the association’s free Monday morning classes held at the Newport Visual Arts Center and credits all of the people for being so friendly and encouraging. “I’m inspired to paint because I love color and the different effects of combining various color combinations,” she said. “Flowers are my favorite subject to paint because they provide a great excuse to use a lot of color.” The show will run through Friday, March 24, available to view 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 Beach Drive at the end of the Nye Beach Turnaround.

The artistic skills of Lincoln City teenagers will be on display this Friday, March 10, as the Chessman Gallery unveils an exhibit of work created by students at Taft High School. Students of art teacher Noah Lambie from grades nine through 12, will be displaying works created through guided assignments as well as independent projects. Mediums range from pen, pencil, paint and printmaking to a collaborative class collage created from old vinyl records. “This has been a long time coming,” Lambie said. “Taft students are highly creative and their work deserves an audience and feedback.” Taft High Principal Majalise Tolan agreed. “Noah’s ability to develop an art program that teaches skills and techniques as well as embraces student creativity is apparent in the work that students will have on display at this show,” she said. The work in the show has been matted and framed thanks to a grant from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund, which allowed Lambie to purchase a mat cutter and teach his students how to professionally mount and frame their work to gallery standards. “The works on display showcase the raw enthusiasm and intuitive elegance with which young artists approach their artwork,” said gallery director Krista Eddy. “Some of the most inspiring pieces I have seen have been created by students taking their first steps into the art world. It is a real joy to be able to share this youthful talent with our gallery audience.” The show will open on Friday, March 10, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm at the gallery, located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. The exhibit will be on display until April 10. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncityculturalcenter.org.

Sketch or scribble, in Manzanita Consumed by the urge to put pencil to paper? Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts has you covered with a pair of upcoming workshops aimed at getting those creative thoughts on to the page. Starting on Wednesday, March 15, Manzanita artist Renee L. Delight will teach “Living the Sketchy Life,” a handson workshop suitable for beginners and accomplished sketchers alike. The class will cover drawing fundamentals, materials and supplies, experimenting with different drawing mediums, developing a sketchbook habit and creative problem solving. All sketching and drawing will be done from life. Delight is a plein air painter and avid sketchbook user who received training in

classical realism at the Ashland Academy of Art. The three-session class will run from 10 am to noon each Wednesday from March 15 through 29 Tuition is $60 for all three sessions. Students can bring their own equipment or buy a sketchbook and drawing tools for $12 For more information, email Delight at r.l.delightfineart@gmail.com. On Saturday, March 18, the Hoffman Center will host a “Project Journaling” workshop as part of the Manzanita Writers Series. Author Laurie Frankel will lead the class, which aims to show how journaling can help writers tackle everything from novels and short stories to poetry and

learn a little

blog posts. “Journaling about your writing project increases your productivity and publishing success,” Frankel said. “No matter what you’re writing, no matter where you are in your writing process, no matter your experience level, project journaling makes for better writing days, increased productivity, higher quality writing, greater publishing success, and a general sense of well being and joy (really).” The workshop will run from 1 to 3:30 pm, with tuition $40 per person. At 7 pm that evening, Frankel will read from her latest novel, “This Is How It Always Is,” followed by an open mic. To register for either workshop, go to hoffmanblog.org and click the “Register for Workshops’ link

Private. LEARN A LITTLE SOMETHING ON THE SLIDE All welcome.

Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will continue its series of community discussions this Saturday, March 11, with a presentation on privacy. Wendy Willis will present “A World without Secrets: Privacy and Expectations in the United States,” an exploration of the ways in which governments worldwide surveil their citizens and corporations gather information for marketing. Willis will guide participants in a discussion of the history of privacy in the United States and how principles of freedom and privacy hold up in a world where almost everything is discoverable and discussed. A poet, essayist and national leader in civic engagement, Willis serves as the executive director of Kitchen Table Democracy, a

national non-profit housed at Portland State University and devoted to improving democratic governance. Her first book, “Blood Sisters of the Republic,” was published in 2012. The discussion, part of the Oregon Humanities’ Conversation Project, is free and open to all, beginning at 1 pm at the museum, 2106 2nd Street, Tillamook. For more information, call 503-842-4553 or go to www. tcpm.org.

Toledo radio station KYAQ will play host to a masterclass in Mississippi Delta Blues on Saturday, March 18, with a workshop from veteran slide guitarist Walker T. Ryan. The intimate workshop, which is limited to just six people, is designed for guitar players who want to learn what makes the Delta Blues the Delta Blues. Players do not need to be professionals or even advanced to participate, just to have a basic working knowledge of the guitar and the desire to learn Delta blues style of playing. Students will need to bring a guitar, a slide, a recording device and paper. Walker uses Robert Johnson’s classic song, “Walking Blues” and works it from the ground up to get to the bone and the meat of the rhythm and chords and then spices it up with basic techniques to make it more than just the notes. Well regarded as a master of the Delta blues, Walker started playing guitar as a folk singer and when his family

moved to New York City, he found himself immersed in the pre-hippie folk scene of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Dave VanRonk. But he got bitten by the blues bug when he was exposed to the music of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Lightnin Hopkins, Son House and Fred McDowell. Walker was a rambler most of his life and he played his music in bars, dives, churches, on the streets, bakeries and bordellos; wherever there was a gig. When he moved to Eugene in the ’90s, in addition to playing the blues, he worked with kids at risk. Essentially retired from the stage, he still plays every day and makes regular trips back to Clarksdale, Mississippi. The workshop will run from 1 to 4 pm at the KYAQ studio in the Floweree Community Center, 321 SE 3rd Street. Registration is $50 per student. For more information or to book a spot, contact Walker at wtryan@gmail.com.

Tide Tables | The TODAY’s Dining Guide

Nana’s Irish Pub extends a hundred thousand welcomes on St. Patrick’s Day, and every day By Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY Photos by Nathan Howard

emember when you were a kid, going to your nana’s house meant relaxation, comfort, a cheery atmosphere and simply the best food? You can most definitely go home again. Relaxation, comfort, a cheery atmosphere and simply the best food are all still found at nana’s: Nana’s Irish Pub in Newport. “It’s not all about the restaurant,” says Nana’s owner Philomena O’Brien of her cozy spot in the heart of the Nye Beach neighborhood. “It’s about welcoming people, taking care of people. It’s like coming into a parlor.” She has a very specific parlor in mind as a model: Nana’s is named for O’Brien’s mother, Bridget O’Brien, Nana to Philomena’s children and hostess extraordinaire. Philomena recalls fondly the weekend family gatherings at her house where everyone, down to the littlest children, would be asked in turn to sing a song or recite some poetry. Bridget welcomed and fed the masses, strangers as well as family and friends. “She was the cook,” O’Brien said. “She always had four or five things cooking away at once.” Bridget O’Brien passed away 13 years ago, but her spirit lives on in the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at Nana’s Irish Pub and in the hearty and mouthwatering comfort food served there. A Nye Beach fixture for nearly 10 years, Nana’s has always been a family affair.

Philomena initially opened it with her daughter, Tara, who has now moved east to run a second Nana’s Irish Pub in Middletown, Virginia. (The “second” Nana’s was, in a way, the first: Philomena and her exhusband, the Irish balladeer Brian Coughlan, opened it as the Irish Isle Restaurant and Pub in 2004, and when Coughlan retired in 2014, Philomena happily stepped back in and reinvented it.) The menu at Nana’s, the absolute best in pub and comfort food, was inspired by Bridget’s cooking. Perennial favorites include the shepherd’s pie (when the server asks if you want cheese on top or house-made hot sauce on the side, the answer is yes to both), the beerbattered fish and chips, the hearty meatloaf and the Irish specialties like bangers and mash and Scotch eggs. Melt-in-your-mouth corned beef and cabbage is available at dinner time. A variety of soups, sandwiches and savory pies round out the menu. Leave room for dessert: the chocolate brandy bread pudding with fresh whipped cream is an absolute dream. If, like me, you have the Nana’s menu memorized, you’ll be excited to see a couple of new

offerings. One is the Galway cod au gratin, Northwest cod topped with Tillamook cheddar, stone-ground mustard and cream, baked and served over mashed potatoes. The other is a British specialty (we’re all friends here!): banoffee pie, a pastry crust filled with a layer of house-made toffee, fresh bananas and fresh whipped cream topped with a sprinkle of Cadbury chocolate flakes. These are flavors that were born to be eaten together and it’s just as good as it sounds. O’Brien prides herself on using as many local vendors as she possibly can. Beef, all grass-fed and organic, comes from Eugene-based KneeDeep Cattle Co., and most fish comes from Newport’s Newell Seafoods. O’Brien raises the pigs for Nana’s meatloaf herself on her farm in nearby Logsden, and a

good portion of the produce used in the restaurant this summer will come from the farm as well. Even the coffee is local, a custom blend roasted by Cape Foulweather Coffee Co. in Lincoln City. No discussion of Nana’s Irish Pub is complete without talking about the “pub” part. A tall, dark and handsome Guinness is the most traditional choice at the bar, of course, but Nana’s also offers an excellent selection of other beers on tap, wine by the glass or bottle, and nearly anything else your heart, and thirst, desires. Try a layered brew, like the Snake Bite, half cider and half Guinness. If you love Irish coffee, you’ll love their specialty coffee drinks like the Coffee Nudge: coffee with brandy, creme de cacao, and coffee liqueur topped with fresh whipped cream — perfect if you want to combine

your drink and dessert choices in one order. Nana’s biggest day of the year is fast approaching. Because St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday this year, the celebration will go all weekend. Saturday night is when the party hits its peak, with the appearance of the Portland-based Celtic quartet St. James’s Gate. All the ballads, jigs, reels, pub songs and hot fiddle licks you could possibly want will fill the air, starting at 7 pm. “It’s going to be a roaring weekend,” O’Brien said. And you’ll be welcomed into the fray like family. Nana’s Irish Pub is located at 613 NW 3rd Street in Newport’s Nye Beach. For more information, go to www.nanasirishpub.com or call 541574-8787.

“This restaurant was a real pleasant surprise. The chef is clearly talented and the food was overall really good!”

In Newport’s Historic Nye Beach District

With music, dancing, great food and spirited conversation, St. Patrick’s Day often seems like too big of a celebration to squeeze into a single night. So the Lincoln City Cultural Center is doubling the fun with a two-night party on Thursday and Friday, March 16 and 17, offering a traditional Irish dinner along with music and dance performances. Head chef and events manager Judy Hardy will be dishing up homemade corned beef and cabbage, served with carrots and potatoes, and Irish soda bread, plus a surprise dessert.

Yachats will be taking a patchwork approach to dealing with the winter weather this weekend, as the Ocean Artistry Art Quilt Show comes to town. The juried show, themed “Gems of the Ocean,” will run from Friday, March 10, through Sunday, March 12, showcasing art pieces from local, regional and international art quilters. “One of the goals of the show is to introduce art quilting to local residents as well as visitors to the area,” said Ruth Bass, a board member for event organizer Polly Plumb Productions. “We thought the ocean theme would allow artists to explore the beauty of this area and make interpretations based on their own whimsy.”

“Ocean Gems – Kelp Greenling Pair” by Christine Holden

Art quilts do not typically follow the patterns used in traditional quilting. Instead, artists use fabric and other materials to build conceptual creations based on a theme, design or simply the artist’s

WHO’S SOIRÉE

NOW?

MAKING UP IS HARD TO DO IN NEIL SIMON’S “THE DINNER PARTY” Story & photos by Rebecca Stone For the TODAY

Three men and three women are invited to a dinner party in a private dining room, at a ritzy Parisian restaurant. The first to arrive is Claude Pichon, an antique book dealer, who sells classics — first editions. Albert Donay is the second arrival. An erstwhile artist who spends his days shuffling rental cars, he dedicates his evenings to painting abstract portraits of them — in the style of Range Rover. They are soon joined by Andre Bouville, who owns a chain of men’s apparel boutiques, and who just got off a plane — his plane. None of the men know each other, nor the reason for the party. However, they begin to surmise that the lawyer, who issued the invitations — and who handled all of their divorces — may have orchestrated the party to introduce them to available women. But once the women start to arrive, the rest of the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place when it becomes clear that the guests are, in fact, all divorced couples. And with the entrance of Gabrielle Buonocelli, once married to Andre, the plot thickens like crème caramel, as it’s revealed that she is actually the architect of the evening. Some have speculated that “The Dinner Party,” which originally

Gabrielle Buonocelli (Larayne Yaeger) makes a point to ex-husband Andre Bouville (Bryan Kirsch)

premiered in 1999, is perhaps Simon’s meditation on the messiness of relationships. Maybe, as someone who’s been married five times, it was an attempt to understand his own marital misadventures. His 31st play, it was also somewhat of an experiment for Simon, who sought to combine farcical elements with drama. It did, in fact, enjoy success in Los Angeles and New York, with headliners such as John Ritter and Henry Winkler. And here, in Lincoln City, the Theatre West cast is certainly up to the challenge of this dialoguerich Simon production. Gabrielle, played with a crystalline elegance by Larayne Yaeger, is sophisticated and self-assured. She’s a stark contrast to Albert’s somewhat mousey former wife, Yvonne Fouchet, played with hilariously awkward charm by Celeste Galloway. Tricia Chandler, as Claude’s ex, Mariette Levieux, is a successful, albeit, claustrophobic, novelist with a dry wit and a level head — as long as the door is left ajar. George Weber’s Albert, if not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is somewhat endearing, while at the same time a bit naive and frustratingly literal. Mark Akey, as Claude, brings a touch of the sardonic to his character as the exhusband whose ex-wife’s success

George Weber as Albert Donay and Celeste Galloway as Yvonne Fouchet

seems to have surpassed his own loftier aspirations. And then there is the wry international jetsetter Andre, who is played with just the right degree of pomposity by Theatre West veteran Bryan

Kirsch. Directed by Wes Ryan, with Danielle Ryan as assistant director, this is the third play in Theatre West’s Neil Simon series. Wes Ryan has been involved with

the theater since the ’80s, mostly as a director. He says the key to this play — and many other Simon plays — is the art of the quick retort. “It’s been a trick to get the right snap and timing from the cast,” he said. “But they’re getting it now, and it’s coming together very well.” In fact, they seem to be nailing it. Even newcomers Akey, Weber and Chandler are putting the right English on Simon’s razor-sharp dialogue. And with Donna Morris as stage manager, and Nancy Swienton and Brandie Jurasin performing stage crew duties, the Jack Coyne stage is easily recognizable as a fancy French venue, right down to its handpainted floor and tableware. Tender and more nuanced moments notwithstanding, Neil Simon has armed his characters with enough of his signature one-liners and verbal grenades to keep the audiences laughing. And the levity continues even as things cross into dramatic territory when Gabrielle locks the dining room doors, refusing to let anyone leave until they answer two questions. Reluctantly, her fellow travelers in the land of broken hearts begin to play along, as one by one, they reveal inner beliefs that expose misunderstandings. But what are Gabrielle’s intentions in this examination of marriages gone wrong? What are her questions and how are they answered by each hostage/guest? To discover the answers to these questions and more, you’ll just have to come see “The Dinner Party” for yourself. “The Dinner Party” is presented Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm through March 25, with one Sunday matinée March 19 at 2 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (60 and over) and students over 12, and $10 for children 12 and under. Special group discounts and season tickets are also available. For tickets call 541-9945663. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. For more information about the theater, go to www.theatrewest.com.

HALLELUJAH! THE CONGREGATION ARE BACK IN TOWN

Need a lift to get you through the last few weeks of winter? Take a pew at the Lincoln City Cultural Center this Sunday, March 12, for a performance of New Orleansstyle jazz packed with heart and warmth from Sammy Miller and the Congregation. The gig is part of the band’s Left Coast Tour, which will also see them playing the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles, the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco and the Royal Room in Seattle. A native of Los Angeles, Sammy Miller has become known for his musical maturity and relentless focus on making music that feels good as a drummer, singer and bandleader. Upon completing his master’s at The Juilliard

School, Miller formed his ensemble, The Congregation — a band focused on sharing the power of community through their music and creating joyful jazz. While independently the band members have performed and recorded with notable artists including Wynton Marsalis, O.A.R, Iron and Wine and Lee Fields at venues including The White House, Lincoln Center and the Hollywood Bowl, The Congregation has opted to stick together and create globally conscious music with the intention to spread joy throughout the world. The Congregation includes Alphonso Horne on trumpet, Ben Flocks on tenor saxophone, David Linard on

piano, Sam Crittenden on trombone, John Snow on bass and Sammy Miller on drums. Starting at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101, Sunday’s concert will help audience members banish the winter blues with hits from Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams and lots more. For more on the band, go to sammymillercongregation. com. Tickets, $20 in advance and $22 on the door, are available at the center box office, online at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org or by calling 541-994-9994. As always, cultural center members receive a $2 discount.

UP, UP AND OWYHEE Outdoor enthusiasts and armchair adventurers alike will get the chance to take a trip into the heart of one of Oregon’s wildest areas this weekend, with a pair of presentations on the Owyhee Canyonlands. Bonnie J. Olin, author of “The Owyhee River Journals,” will present a talk, slideshow and movie about the remarkable landscape on Friday, March 10, in Tillamook and Saturday, March 11, in Pacific City. Covering some nine million acres across Idaho, Oregon and Nevada, the Owyhee Canyonlands is home to one of largest remaining herds of bighorn sheep as well as several endangered species, such as sage grouse. Olin and her husband, Mike Quigley, have been exploring the Owyhee for 23 years, kayaking the river and hiking the side canyons from river to rim, countless times. “The canyon geology offers some of the most stunning visual examples of rhyolite formations on our planet,” Olin said. “It is unlike Bryce, Zion, Canyonlands or the Grand Canyon. We have a golden opportunity to protect a landscape like no other in the lower 48 states that could easily qualify for National Park status. It is public land. It belongs to all of us. And yet, the Oregon section of the region

remains unprotected.” Olin’s presentation will include a screening of “Deep Creek & the Owyhee River,” a 20-minute film about a 2006 expedition into the upper regions of the Owyhee River by inflatable kayaks. Signed copies of Olin’s book, “The Owyhee River Journals” bursting with full color photos by Quigley, will also be available to buy. Olin said her presentation aims to give Oregonians the facts they need in order to make an informed decision about the future of the Owyhee area. “Many generations in the future will thank us for our foresight, as we have come to recognize that the desert is not a wasteland and that the Owyhee is one of our nations important natural wonders.” Olin’s presentation will start at 3 pm on Friday, March 10, at Tillamook County Library, 1716 3rd Street, Tillamook; repeated at 11 am on Saturday, March 11, at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp Street, Pacific City. For more information, call 503-965-6163. Information on efforts to protect the Owyhee is available at http:// wildfortheowyhee.org.

A bower-point presentation The secrets to growing roses on the Oregon Coast will be revealed on Thursday, March 16, in Newport when the Lincoln County Master Gardeners hosts the fourth in its series of round table discussions. Zach Wahl, program leader and local wine shop owner, has a passion for roses. He grows beautiful plants just a half-mile from the beach. “As a seaside gardener you too can have success,” Wahl said. “It is just a matter of choosing the best rose variety! Some varieties are very tolerant of wind, salt air, poor soils and thrive in the most exposed gardens.” Wahl will offer tips on rose varieties that will thrive amid wind and salt spray and which need very little maintenance. The round table will run from 10 am until noon at the Oregon Coast Community College Newport campus, 400 SE College Way. Master Gardener Round Tables are free to all, but please call the OSU Extension Office at 541-574-6534, ext. 57411, to ensure they have enough rose of chairs.

Garden welcomes Rhodies scholar Rhododendron expert Mike Bones will share a halfcentury’s worth of expertise when he visits Connie Hansen Garden in Lincoln City this Saturday, March 11. Bones, owner of Bones Nursery in Florence, is well known as a most entertaining and informative speaker whose 50 years of knowledge raising rhododendrons is surpassed only by his energy and enthusiasm. Recently retired, he is now able to devote himself full time to the nursery business and his developing interest in cultivating bonsai, as well as his role as president of the Siuslaw chapter of the American Rhododendron Society.

As well as presenting a talk entitled “Choosing the Right Plant for the Right Location/ Rhodies 101,” Bones will bring a good selection of plants of varying sizes for sale from his nursery, including several already in bloom. The Connie Hansen Garden will be in the early stages of its spectacular spring display of rhodies and azaleas so this is the perfect opportunity to acquire inspiration, know-how and just the right plant for your own garden. The talk, which is free and open to all, will run from 1 to 3 pm at the garden, 1931 NW 33rd Street. For more information, call 541-994-6338 or go to www. conniehansengarden.com.

A little ÀLJKW entertainment The Audubon Society of Lincoln City is offering a free birding trip to the Nestucca Wildlife Refuge this Saturday, March 11, looking out for winter waterfowl, raptors and overwintering songbirds. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Located just south of Pacific City, the refuge provides a multitude of habitats including pastures, grasslands, woodlands, tidal marsh and mudflats, as well as freshwater bogs and forest. The refuge supports 10 percent of the world population of dusky Canada geese and has also hosted rare winter visitors from Asia such as the Tundra Bean Goose. Trip leader Mark Elliott will encourage walkers to keep an eye out for avian visitors blown off course by winter storms.

The group will meet in the lower parking lot at the refuge at 9 am. Drive north on Highway 101 from Lincoln City and turn left at the refuge entrance on Christensen Road. For more information, call 541-992-0440. The Audubon Society of Lincoln City offers free birding field trips with experienced trip leaders on the second Saturday of most months during the

year. Beginning birders are welcome. Binoculars and guidebooks are available for those who don’t have their own, and carpooling is usually an option. For a list of upcoming field trip descriptions, go to http://lincolncityaudubon. org/calendar.html, and mark your calendar for the group’s Saturday, April 8, trip to the new Alder Island loop walk at Siletz Bay.

TEACH THE BEACH The second annual Surf n’ Stewardship film series is now underway in Newport, featuring three movies selected by the local branch of the Surfrider Foundation. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the passage of Oregon’s Beach Bill, the landmark legislation that guarantees public access to Oregon’s 362 miles of beaches. In celebration of this important anniversary, the Newport Chapter has chosen three films focused on the enjoyment and protection of the state’s treasured ocean and beaches. The series opens on Thursday, March 9, with ‘Standing on Water,” a story about overcoming fears and following passions, which follows Denmark’s Casper Steinfath on his journey to become one

of the best SUP-surfers in the world. On Thursday, March 23, the series continues with “The Politics of Sand,” a film about the history of Governor Oswald West’s 1913 landmark legislation and the creation of the 1967 Oregon Beach

Bill, which together solidified Oregon’s beaches as open and accessible to the public. The series concludes on Thursday, April 6, with “A Plastic Ocean,” featuring an international team of adventurers, researchers and ocean ambassadors who go on a mission around the globe to uncover the shocking truth about how much plastic there is in our ocean. All screenings start at 6:30 pm at Rouge Brewer’s on the Bay, 2320 SE Marine Science Drive. Each gathering will also feature brief presentations from Surfrider Foundation staff and Newport Chapter volunteers connecting each film to current campaigns, programs and events happening locally and statewide.

Former refuge manager Roy Lowe will provide a bird’seye overview and a bootson-the ground excursion in a pair of upcoming events from the Yaquina Birders & Naturalists. On Thursday, March 16, Lowe will share stunning photos taken during his visits to many of the 566 refuges that make up the National Wildlife Refuge System, protecting some 850 million acres of lands and waters. Administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, these conservation areas are found in all 50 states, the Caribbean and far across the Pacific into the Eastern Hemisphere. Lowe will highlight the diversity of wildlife that can be observed in refuges along the Oregon Coast and around the country. The presentation, which is free and open to all, will start at 7 pm in the Public Meeting Room of Central Lincoln PUD, 2129 North Coast Hwy., Newport. On Saturday, March 18,

Lowe will swap his slide projector for his slicker as he leads a free birding tour of Waldport’s Alsea Bay and Eckman Lake. Alsea Bay provides a wintering area for grebes, loons, great blue herons and a variety of ducks including mergansers, bufflehead and surf scoters. Walkers can also keep an eye out for early arriving pigeon guillemots and osprey. The group will then travel east to the 50-acre Eckman Lake, which harbors

hundreds of ducks in late winter including mallard, Northern pintail, American wigeon, green-winged teal and ring-necked duck. Walkers should meet at 9 am in the parking lot of the Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretative Center, 620 NW Spring Street, near the southwest corner of the Alsea Bay Bridge. The field trip will last two hours. For more information on either event, call 541-9611307.

The Garibaldi Crab Races return this weekend By Ann Powers For the TODAY

Today’s losers are tomorrow’s lunch,” has been a general attitude behind the Garibaldi Lions Club Crab Races for more than three decades. And it won’t be any different this Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, when the races return for their 32nd year, with hundreds of sideways-crawling crustaceans taking to a six-lane track for backto-back heats. “The losers get to go to the ‘hot tub,’” Lions Club President Kelly Barnett said. “We let them relax in the ‘hot tub’ and then we kind of make more money off of them.” As the rules stand, human “jockeys” can’t touch the crabs. They can, however, encourage their crawling contenders to reach the finish line first with verbal ques (yelling, singing, cheering, sweettalking, etc.), pounding the plywood track, bribery and/or ‘psychic powers’ — which some previous winners have claimed to invoke. “You can blow on them, throw kisses at them, you can put nastysmelling stuff on your hands — you just can’t physically touch them,” said Barnett, who also owns The Spot seafood market in Garibaldi. “Mostly, people bang on the boards and try to make noises and vibrations close to the crab. The only thing a crab is afraid of is an octopus. I haven’t seen anybody yet bring an octopus to the show.” Maybe not. But one guy left the show with a broken wrist

after coaching his crab a little too vigorously. Roy Hamilton, of Garibaldi, said it happened to him during a final championship race four years ago while competing against his 16-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn. “I was going to make fun of her because I was winning,” Hamilton said. “When I turned around I slammed my hand down and hit the divider. The next morning it was hurting so bad I went to the hospital and they put a cast on it for about a month.” Remarkably, Hamilton still competes and is looking forward to this year’s event. And he isn’t the only die-hard. The Daniels family, from Brooks, Oregon, enthusiastically attends

every year as a kind of family reunion. “We started probably 30 years ago when the kids were little and it was a hoot!” said Dean Daniels. “We watched our children do it and now we’re watching our grandchildren do it too. It’s a great family event for a great cause — and some of the best food you’ll ever eat.” Revenue from the must-see, small-town tradition’s admission charges, racing fees, crab dinners, beverages (beer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks)¬¬, T-shirts, raffles and souvenirs goes to the Lions Club, which uses the money for its hearing and sight program. The club estimates that the

22 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 10, 2017

fundraiser grosses about $20,000 annually for the program, which helps pay for glasses and hearing aids for locals in need. “You’re talking about being able to see and hear and how do you put a value on that?” said Jeff Coon, Lions Club secretary and God’s Lighthouse Church pastor. “The need is very real. Especially for those on fixed and limited incomes.” The Lions also channel part of the proceeds toward charitable Christmas baskets for low-income families in Central Tillamook County. This year, the top three adult winners will receive a trophy. The overall champion also gets $100 cash.

Children placing first, second or third in the kids races win items appropriate to their age group. Other prizes, fishing trips, gift certificates and more are donated by area merchants. The local crab fleet donates the crustaceans (about 600 pounds worth) and dozens of volunteers pitch in their time for the activities that offer the local economy a much-needed boost during the tourism off-season. “The whole town steps up for this,” Barnett said. “It’s such an important part of our community and a lot of fun.” The crab races will run from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, at the Old Mill Event Center, 210 Third Street in Garibaldi. Two-day admission is $5 per person 13 and older, $2 for kids aged 6 to 12, and free for children 5 and younger. Race entry fees vary from $1 to $10 depending on the heat.
