Wave that pint goodbye

henever a person is able to skip down to the beach on a sunny day with a pint of Guinness and call it work, it is a sign that life is good.

cliff notes

But I know that, upon seeing this week’s front cover, the TODAY’s inquiring readers are united in a single question — ‘I wonder if he drank that pint?’ Well, truth be told, I would have were it not for a series of unfortunate incidents. The first obstacle to my very own early St. Patrick’s Day celebration was carbonation. In its rush to be free, the excited Guinness spurted from the can, with a fair splash falling to the sands before I got my glass in place to catch the Patrick Alexander remainder. Editor This left me just a touch short of a full pint and — more crucially — denied me the black background to make the “Guinness” logo stand out on the glass. Fortunately, our recent rainstorms have left the coast riddled with tiny waterfalls, one of which called to me from the bluff nearby. I filled my can and used this Heaven-sent bounty to top up my pint to a photogenic level and started snapping away. Now, I have drunk from my fair share of streams on backpacking trips and still had every intention of polishing off this new, hybrid stout laced with Oregon rain when the photo shoot was done. But, just as Icarus flew too close to the sun, I too allowed my lust for glory to seal my fate as I set my pint too close to the surf in the search of that perfect shot. Surely, I thought to myself, the incoming wave will break against the glass, sending white foam crashing around the black stout in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Not so much. Turns out a pint, no matter how stout, is no match for an incoming wave — even if it’s a tiddler. The pint glass got swamped and, as I hopped backward to try and keep my feet dry, I saw it dragged along the sand; a dark trail of Ireland’s finest in its wake. For more sensible ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, see page 10 as well as our coast calendar and soundwaves sections.

Learning the craft

Parents hoping to make their kids disappear for a couple of hours during Spring Break are in luck as a range of magic and art workshops return for another year as part of Lincoln City’s upcoming Festival of Illusions. The Magic of Art workshops will do the trick for children in Kindergarten through 3rd grade every day from Monday, March 24, through Friday, March 28. The classes, run by the nonprofit Let There Be Arts group, will run from 9 to 11 am at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. For two creative hours each morning, teachers will guide students in painting, drawing, finding hidden pictures, pool ball painting and more. Salad spinner art, optical illusion collage and scratch art will also be on offer. The workshops cost $15 per Jeff Evans day and kids can come for just one morning or the entire week. To reserve a spot, contact Let There Be Arts Director Kaline Klaas at 503-812-7813 or kklaas@ lettherebearts.com; drop by the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101; or go to www. lettherebearts.com. For older kids, Magic Camp offers the chance to learn direct from the professional magicians attending this year’s Festival of Illusions. Aimed at kids aged 8 to 18, the camps will run from 9 to 11 am from March 24 to 28 at the cultural center, giving students the chance to learn card tricks, slight-of-hand and amazing

illusions. Dan Roberson will host the sessions, which cost $15 per student, including all props. To register, call 541-994-9994. The festival will feature performances every evening in the center’s 150-seat auditorium, offering a truly weather proof way to enjoy Spring Break. Featured performers are Joe Black on Monday, March 24; Steve Hamilton aka “Steve the Pretty Good” on Tuesday, March 25; Jeff Evans on Wednesday, March 26; and Cha Cha the Clown on Thursday, March 27. The week will end with an all-star Lincoln City talent show, featuring young magicians from the week-long camps as well as singers, dancers and other performers from the community (see page 15 for details). Ticket prices range from $4 to $12, and can be purchased by calling 541-994-9994.

The day camp will take place from Monday, March 24, to Thursday, March 27, at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook. Sessions will run from 1 to 4 pm each day, with each class focusing on a different element of safe food preservation, cooking and baking. Canned foods will be used with basic baking and cooking activities each day. The class is $30 per student,

with the fee covering the cost of jars and food supplies. Students not currently enrolled in $4H will also have to sign up and pay the one-time 4-H enrollment fee. There is no cost for 4H leaders or parents who wish to participate and assist youth with their canning experience. Organizers are encouraging early registration because the class is limited to 12 students. To register, drop by the OSU Extension Office, 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook.

How to get a head in writing For a first novel, “Dora: A Head Case” by Lidia Yuknavitch has already garnered the kind of reviews that stop readers in their tracks “It’s dirty, sexy, rude, smart, soulful, fresh, and risky,” said Karen Karbo, author of “Julia Child Rules.” “Think of your favorite out-there genius writer; multiply by ten, add a big heart, a poet’s ear, and a bad girl’s courage, and you’ve got Lidia Yuknavitch.” Yuknavitch will read from the book at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center at 7 pm on Saturday, March 15. The book is a contemporary coming-of-age story based on Freud’s famous case study, revamped and retold from Dora’s point of view with shotgun blasts of dark humor and sexual play. It was recently optioned by director Katherine Brooks. Yuknavitch is the author of “The Chronology of Water” and three works of short fiction: “Her Other Mouths,”

Get over your writing hump, with help from Cynthia Whitcomb

“Liberty’s Excess” and “Real to Reel,” as well as a book of literary criticism, “Allegories of Violence.”

Her work has appeared in The Sun Magazine, Ms., The Iowa Review, Exquisite Corpse, Another Chicago Magazine, Zyzzyva, and online at The Rumpus, The Nervous Breakdown, and PANK.

“The Chronology of Water” won the Oregon Book Award — Reader’s Choice, and Yuknavitch is also a recipient of a 2012 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association award. She teaches writing, literature, film and women’s studies at Mt. Hood Community College and lives in Portland. After Yuknavitch’s reading and Q&A, there will be an open mic where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $5. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Avenue • Earlier in the day, Yuknavitch will lead a generative writing workshop titled “From the Hea(r)t to the Page.” The workshop, which runs from 10 am to 3 pm at the Hoffman Center, costs $50 per person. For more information and to register, go to hoffmanblog.org and click on the Workshops category. For more information, contact Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com.

Scripts in the blood Screenwriter Cynthia Whitcomb will make a pair of appearances in Newport this weekend, speaking at the Saturday, March 15, meeting of the Nye Beach Writers Series and teaching a workshop for the Coast Chapter of Willamette Writers on Sunday, March 16. Whitcomb has sold more than 70 screenplays, 29 of which have been produced for prime time national television. She has written roles for such stars as Jason Robards, Ellen Burstyn, Kevin Spacey, Martin Sheen, Gabriel Byrne and Anjelica Huston among many others, and has been nominated for the Emmy, Cable Ace, Edgar Allan Poe, Humanitas, and Writers Guild of America awards. Among her television works are “Buffalo Girls,” “I Know My First Name is Steven” and

“Mark Twain and Me.” After 30 years writing screenplays, she is now a full-time playwright, with works including “Looking-Glass,” co-authored with Michael Sutton; “Holidazed,” co-authored with Marc Acito; and “Follies,” which was commissioned by the Portland Shakespeare Project and nominated for the Bowmer Award. Her newest play, “The Seven Wonders of Bonniebrook,” a Eugene O’Neill semi-finalist, will be produced at Lake Oswego’s Lakewood Theatre, in its 2014-15 season. Whitcomb has written two books on screenwriting and teaches a popular screenwriting class in Portland twice a year. She also takes a group of writers on a transatlantic writing cruise every spring.

• Whitcomb will speak at the Nye Beach Writers Series on Saturday, March 15, at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. The program begins at 7 pm, with an open mic for local writers following the presentation. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org. • On Sunday, March 16, Whitcomb will lead a screenwriting workshop at the ongoing Writers on Writing series offered by the Coast Chapter of Willamette Writers.

Private eyes W

hen Carla Perry met the private eye at a friend’s condo in Portland, he boasted he could find anyone. Carla wanted to believe him, but it seemed a promise too good to be true. Still, she played along, giving him the name and birth date of the man who had a very long time ago been her saving angel. A man she had not seen or spoken to in more than 30 years. A man who occupied her thoughts daily. His name was Richard. I first encountered him in the fall of 2000 in a writing group with Carla. He was one of the most charming odd sort of guys I’d ever met. Except I never actually met him. So far as I knew he wasn’t even real, but rather a character in Carla Perry’s novel, “Riva Beside Me: New York City 1963-1966.” Fiction. But as most readers know, fiction is frequently based on at least some bit of fact. And so was Richard. A lot of fact, in fact. Richard was a real person — the oldest friend in Carla’s life and, I would go so far as to say, dearest. I recently attended a staged performance of “Riva” and found myself charmed all over again by the bone thin, not so tall, old, old soul that is Richard. I knew from the story that in Richard, the young Carla had found an ally whose affection and devotion might have saved her life. They met when they were 15 and students at the High School of Music and Art in New York City. He was the guy who swooped in and rescued her from a life made so wretched by harsh parents and cruel siblings that she barely spoke. Richard coaxed her from her shell; made her feel smart and funny, and added some much-needed color to her dark world. But Richard’s life was no dream, either. Raised by a single mother, his was an impoverished household supported by a miscellany of small crimes. Richard never had much chance to be young.

Carla Perry Photo by Karen Downs

Then, just like that, the pair lost each other. Carla left New York for The University of Iowa. She married. Changed her name. Richard moved. And more than 30 years passed without a word. It seemed Richard and Carla were destined to live in memory only. “I have dreamed of him all of my life,” Carla said. “He’s always been a protector, this stolid supporter. Just always with me in my life.” Then came that chance encounter with the P.I., who, as it turned out, really did make good on his word. Carla had once again found Richard.

“I wrote him a letter for his birthday and mailed it to the address and said, ‘If you are the Richard Marvell I used to know …’ I gave him my maiden name. I said ‘I don’t wish to interfere in your life, but if you respond I will respond in kind.’ Three months later, on my birthday I received a 12-page letter from him. It was just an incredible letter.” As it turned out, Richard’s grandfather had lived in Newport. He knew Carla was somewhere in the vicinity but he didn’t know her last name. The two began talking on the phone. Carla shared passages from her novel, then still in draft stage. They relived old times and shared perspectives. And she learned that just as Richard had immeasurably altered her life, so had she his. “He said I was the angel in his life. That he was nobody’s angel. It turns out we’ve held each other all these years as part of our ourselves.” Richard read Carla’s novel after it was published, but he read it slowly. He knew how the book ended and he was in no hurry to get there. Of course, that was just the novel. Their story is still going. “The book is a love letter to Richard,” Carla said, “thanking him for saving my life.” You can catch the staged performance of “Riva Beside Me” on Sunday, March 16, at 2 pm at the Yachats Commons. If you can’t make that one, stay tuned, there’s more to come. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

By Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

Long and thin as it is, Lincoln City does not really have a town square where folks can gather and catch up on the news. But it does have the reader-board in front of Gallucci’s Pizzeria, where anyone heading north or south can immediately become apprised of the latest births, marriages — and even proposals. While the board displays announcements of almost every type, there is one thing you will never see written in its bold, black letters — any kind of advertisement for the restaurant itself. Gallucci’s owner Jon Rees prefers to reserve the board for messages of love, condolence and support as well as the occasional shout out for a fund-raiser or two. At $5 per message, the funds raised by the board add up fast and, at the end of each year, Rees hands every cent over to the Taft Tiger Boosters. In the 14 years that Rees has owned Gallucci’s, the board has generated more than $10,000 to help

fund sports at Taft High School. And that is a drop in the ocean compared to the roughly $180,000 the restaurant has helped raise for school programs and non-profits by hosting fund-raisers for everyone from kids to Kiwanis. Celebrating its 40th birthday this year, Gallucci’s is among just a handful of Lincoln City restaurants that have stood the test of time and served multiple generations in a town often marked by swift business turnover. Opened by Harvey and Jeanette Gallucci and their daughter, Sharon, in 1974, the pizzeria was originally located in the building now occupied by The Blackfish restaurant. It moved to its current location in 1982, into a purpose-built structure that

replaced a cluster of holiday cottages called The Liston Lodge. Rees himself remembers eating Gallucci’s pizza as a child, having moved to Lincoln City in 1966 at the age of seven. He went to school at Taft Elementary and later Taft High.

After a five-year stint at another Lincoln City institution, Kenny’s IGA, Rees carved out a 20-year career in construction before a visit from his brother sent his life in a very different direction. It was in 2000, when Rees’ brother, Mark, came to the coast for a vacation, that the two got to talking about how a pizza restaurant would make a good investment. The brothers decided to give it a go, with Jon running the show in Lincoln City and Mark as a silent partner in Colorado. Rees said going from swinging a hammer to flinging pizza was a pretty steep learning curve, especially with the sale being finalized in August — right in the middle of the high season. “August is not the time to start something when you don’t know what you’re doing,” he said. But Rees proved a quick study; getting in touch with the original owners to quiz them about their pizza recipe. “They were totally Italian and I’m not,” he said, adding that the kitchen turns out that original recipe to this day — closer to Chicago-style than New York but still not a deep-dish. With sizes ranging from a personal, eight-inch pizza to a mammoth 19-incher, bestsellers include the always-popular pepperoni, the Hawaiian and Gallucci’s Deluxe, which offers pepperoni, salami and

hamburger with cheese, mushrooms, black olives and green peppers. For groups with something serious to celebrate, Gallucci’s also offers a special 27-inch pizza that feeds 14 — a dish for which 24 hours’ notice is appreciated. In addition to pizza, the restaurant boasts a 33-item salad bar and a range of broasted chicken and jojo meals, which are among its bestsellers. Appetizers include standards like chicken wings and fried zucchini slices along with more offbeat items like Hotzzarella Cheese Sticks and Cheesy Bacon Waffle Fries. Three huge TVs allow sports fans to get their fix with the family in tow, while those who prefer to munch their pizza at home can rely on the restaurant’s every day delivery service to bring a pie straight to their doorstep. With a seating capacity of about 150, Gallucci’s is just as likely to be packed to the rafters during a midwinter fund-raiser as it is during the height of summer — a fact Rees chalks up to putting people before profit. “Just being community oriented,” he said. “Try to keep your food fresh and not be stingy with your product.” Gallucci’s Pizzeria is located at 2845 NW Highway 101, in Lincoln City and is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm. For more details or to place an order, call 541-994-3411.

coast culture

The jig’s up in NEWPORT Step dancers, with their intricate footwork and ramrod straight torsos, are one of the most visible expressions of Irish culture — and one which will be on display this weekend as the Celtic Heritage Alliance holds its second annual Shamrock Supper in Newport. The Corvallis-based An Daíre Academy of Irish Dance will bring the distinctive dancing style to the Saturday, March 15, event, which will also feature cultural vignettes, a traditional Irish supper and whiskey tasting. The dancing traditions of Ireland have developed in tandem with Irish traditional music, with traveling dancing masters teaching all over Ireland as late as the early 1900s. These early origins generated many forms, such as the “Connemara” and the popular “Munster” which have been formalized by The Gaelic Dancing Commission. Many theories exist about the dancers’ unique habit of keeping the hands and upper body stiff. Some believe it had to do with the small size of the venues, others believe it had to do with the government forbidding expressions of culture such as playing music, dancing, speaking or storytelling in the native Gaelic tongue. Still others believe it was meant to disguise the fact that dancing was going on should anyone happen to pass by. Whatever the genesis, the pose has become an integral part of the form. The supper itself will feature tasty traditional Irish fare, with corned beef and cabbage accompanied by Irish soda bread, boiled potatoes, parsley sauce, mashed carrots and parsnips; followed by a delectable bread pudding or apple crisp for dessert. The March 15 supper will start at 6:30 pm, in the ballroom at the Newport Shilo Inn Suites Hotel, 536 SW Elizabeth Street. Tickets are $35 for the supper or $60 for the supper plus the whiskey tasting. For more information or to buy tickets online, go to www.newportcelticfestival.com. Tickets are also available by calling 541-574-9366 or stopping by Bridie’s Irish Faire in Newport’s Nye Beach. The Shamrock Supper is the alliance’s last fundraising event before the third annual Newport Celtic Festival and Highland Games, scheduled for June 13 to 15 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds.

Molly Malone Irish Dancers

Get a jump on St Patrick’s Day

The songs and dances of Ireland will fill the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, March 15, with the dynamic and colorful Molly Malone Irish Dancers joining the Pipedance musical duo for an early celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The performance opens José Solano’s Spring 2014 World Music Series. The Molly Malone dancers are from the Yeates Academy, Oregon’s longest-running Irish dance school, which has produced many champion Irish dancers during its 35-year history. The troupe features four-time world qualifier champion Meaghan Feeback and championship dancers Caitlin Kruell and Amelia Douglas. Last year, the company performed to a sold-out auditorium, spellbinding audiences with their intricate footwork and colorful costumes. Complementing the dancers will be Gary Burman and Nora Parker, who perform a wide range of traditional Irish and Celtic songs as the Pipedance duo. Burman plays a variety of bagpipes, including the Irish Uilleann pipes, as well as whistles, harmonica, mandolin and guitar. Meanwhile, Parker is a talented dancer of sean nós, an old Irish style of dancing with low-to-the-ground, impromptu footwork and movement. She also plays varied Irish whistles and the bodhrán, the Irish frame drum. Pipedance has performed widely in festivals,

ceíli dances, and pub sessions in Colorado, California, Washington and Oregon. The March 15 performance will start at 7 pm at the center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. There will be a no-host bar and hors d’oeuvres available. Tickets, $13 in advance or $15 at the door; and $5 for children under 13 years anytime are available by calling 541-994-9994.

Borealis

to light up Neskowin

Neskowin Chamber Music will continue to celebrate its 20th year of bringing world-class music to the chapel at Camp Winema with a performance by the Borealis String Quartet on Sunday, March 16. Called “one of the most dynamic and exciting ensembles of its generation,” the Borealis String Quartet has received international acclaim for its fiery performances, passionate style and refined, musical interpretation. Founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the fall of 2000, the quartet has toured extensively in North America and performed to sold-out audiences in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Montreal, Ottawa and their hometown of Vancouver. Their recent performances in the Beethoven Series at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and at the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Hall in Seattle were critically lauded for their serious and dramatically engaging interpretations. In a recent season, the group was invited to perform three times in New York — at the Schneider Concert Series; the People’s Symphony Concerts; and at Rockefeller Center. They also

played at the 2010 Aboriginal Pavilion during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. In recent years, the quartet has established close ties with Asia, touring in Taiwan, where they also established outreach programs and conducted master classes at universities and schools. In 2011, they made their debut in major cities in China, including Shanghai, and have been touring extensively in China to bring music of East and West to Chinese audiences. The success of their 2013 tour resulted in their being invited back for performances this spring.

If so, the organizers of Lincoln City’s newest talent show want to hear from you. The Top 20 Talent Show will serve as the grand ďŹ nale for the Festival of Illusions at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, with performers of all kinds demonstrating their talents on Friday, March 28.

Auditions for the show will be held from 1 to 4 pm on Saturday, March 15, at the cultural center, 540 NE Hw 101. Roberson said performers don’t need to bring costumes or even all their equipment to the audition, adding that organizers just want to see a good turnout of talented people of all ages. “Auditions are laid back,â€? he said. “No ďŹ re tricks, but pie throwing is OK!â€? To learn more and get on the schedule, call Roberson at 541-614-0193. The talent show will consist three sets with two intermissions. Kids will perform the ďŹ rst set, with all young performers receiving a prize and then being free to watch the

rest of the show with their families. Intermissions will feature Longbottom Coee and treats from Beachtown Coee for sale, along with beer, wine, snacks and sodas. Beachtown Coee, the show sponsor, will continue to shower performers with prizes and gift bags throughout the evening until “Lincoln City’s Most Entertaining Bandâ€? plays the house down. Proceeds raised from the show will go to keeping the cultural center’s main stage, theatrical lights, sound system and grand piano in professional order. Advance tickets for The Top 20 Talent Show are $4 for kids aged 12 and under; and $6 for adults. Prices go up $1 at the door. For more information, call the center at 541-994-9994.

Budding performers are invited to take part in the spring session of Kids Sing Out, a series of workshops that helps 4th to 8th graders develop their vocal and performance skills at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The ďŹ rst workshop begins at 10 am on Saturday, March 15, and the series will culminate in a Broadway-style review in the center’s auditorium on Friday, May 9. Last year, the group’s fall workshops resulted in four performances of the original musical “The Giftâ€? before wonderfully receptive Lincoln City crowds. “Our kids grew so much in the disciplines and joys of performance,â€? director Valerie Kendall said. “Now in this spring workshop we want to focus deeper in developing performance skills by reducing the song list just a little and seeking greater ďŹ nesse in each song.â€? The cost is $40 per child. To register, contact Kendall at 541-996-4045 or via email at vkendallsong@gmail.com.

A day for

reflection

Newport gears up for the Blessing of the Fleet By Nancy Steinberg

H

ere in Newport, home of one of the biggest fishing fleets on the Oregon Coast, we don’t need to watch “Deadliest Catch” to know how dangerous commercial fishing is. Many in our community brave perilous conditions every day to bring back fresh seafood for the rest of us landlubbers. Some don’t return. The annual blessing of the fleet in Newport, to be held this year on Saturday, March 15, is a time to celebrate the legacy of “They that go down to the sea in ships,” to remember those that were lost, to recognize the contributions the industry makes to our community, and to have some fun at the same time. “The goal of the event is to focus on awareness and safety,” said Jennifer Stevenson, president of the Newport Fishermen’s Wives, the organizers of the event. “In addition, we honor those lost at sea, who sometimes don’t have a traditional funeral.” The day will begin on a note of somber reflection with a memorial

service for those that have lost their lives in one of the most dangerous professions of all. The service, led by Pastor Don Taylor of the First Presbyterian Church in Newport, will start at 8 am at the Fishermen’s Memorial Sanctuary at Yaquina Bay State Park. All are welcome. The proceedings will then lighten up a bit, with the annual survival suit races at 9:30 am. The starting line for the challenge is Port Dock 3, and the public is most definitely encouraged to come out and support their favorite team. Teams of three from the Coast Guard, fishing boats, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, the Loyalty Days court of princesses and others suit up and swim in the Gumby-like red suits from the starting line to the Fuel Dock. “The survival suit races are an important part of the day,” Fishermen’s Wives Vice President Bekki Wagner said “It’s fun, but it also emphasizes the importance of safety.” “Usually it’s the Coast Guard vs. the Rutherford boys [owners of the vessels

& celebration

Excalibur and Winona J.] competing for top dog,” she added. After the race participants have had a chance to dry off, the fishing vessels prepare for the blessing, which is preceded by a US Coast Guard helicopter flyover just after 1 pm. The vessels parade around the bay, passing by the Coast Guard Station as prayers are recited by a number of local and regional religious leaders. Blessings will be offered for the Coast Guard, individual vessels, and for those vessels out of port, like the many Newportbased boats that are off now fishing in Alaskan waters. The event will be broadcast on KNPT 1310 AM, and commentators will provide narration. The Loyalty Days court will choose a winner from among the vessels for “Best Decked.” Because fishing season runs yearround here, it’s hard to tell how many vessels will participate. The event is held in mid-March because it’s the most likely time that many vessels will be in port between the Dungeness crab and pink shrimp seasons, but lots of boats are still out fishing. “If boats come in from fishing during the event, we’ll bless them too,” Stevenson said. After the parade comes the Highliner Competition at 3 pm at Port Dock 7. This series of races pits

crews from various fishing boats against each other in contests such as stacking crab pots, shoveling ice and tying knots. This year, a relay will be added in which teams need to carry a shovelful of fish through an obstacle course. Cash prizes will be awarded, but of course the real prize here is bragging rights. Throughout the day, and long afterward, those strolling the Bayfront will be reminded of the price this community has paid to participate in the fishing industry, by way of the Ribbon Trail. Satin ribbons will be tied along the Bayfront between Yaquina Bay State Park and Port Dock 5 to symbolize those in the industry lost at sea. The event organizers encourage spectators to come out and show support for the fishing industry. “Find a dock, and you’ll find us that day,” Wagner said. Good viewing areas will include the boardwalk on the Bayfront and spots along Port Dock 7 for the Highliner Competition. All events are free and open to the public, so be sure to come wish the fishermen fair winds, following seas and a safe and abundant harvest.

Oh…

my goodness

“The Big Five-Oh” lifts the lid on family life Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

F

amily is at the heart of “The Big Five-Oh,” the new production from Lincoln City’s Theatre West, which follows the long-suffering George Thomas in the week running up to his 50th birthday. As the half-century mark approaches, George is beset on all sides; by a neurotic wife, a slacker son, a geriatric dog and a daughter who wants to marry a Republican. Fortunately for theater fans, the family dynamics behind the scenes are a good deal more harmonious, with director Wes Ryan drafting in several of his nearest and dearest to help out. Not only does granddaughter Danielle Ryan return as assistant director, but another member of the Ryan clan is to be seen on stage, making his acting debut as George’s shiftless, smart aleck son, Eric. “When I read the play I thought ‘this is my grandson,’” Ryan said. Ricky Ryan agreed to read for the part and, to his grandfather’s delight, struck up

an immediate rapport with Bryan Kirsch, who plays the cantankerous George. Kiera Morgan plays Marie; George’s frequently flustered wife, who frets much better than she bakes; while Karen Davis takes the role of the couple’s love-struck daughter, Julie. Ren Jacob delivers a quite literally staggering performance as Julie’s new beau, Douglas; while Sherri Danielson takes the role of Kathy, the neighbor whose grip on reality seems to be loosening. Hailey Morris rounds out the cast as Sara, one of George’s sociology students. Ryan said a cast that calls for three younger actors is a tall order in a community where the acting pool skews toward the more mature end of the spectrum. Fortunately, he said, Morris, who is in her early teens, has the height to pass for an 18 year old. “The Big Five-Oh” is Ryan’s second outing as director since he threw himself back into theater last year. A mainstay of Theatre West in the ’90s, he stepped away for several years to focus on his duties with the local Elks Lodge and in city government. Ryan, who now balances his directing with the demands of his role as city councilor, said he missed the theater scene and is thrilled to be back in the mix. “When I read a play, I visualize it as I’m reading and I think as long as I’m doing it that way I might as well see about directing again.” As one of several people who read and recommend plays at the request of Theatre West President Stina Seeger-Gibson, Ryan said was immediately struck by “The

Big 5-Oh.” He said author Brian Mitchell manages to capture the dynamics of a truly dysfunctional family, with hilarious lines all the way through. But, despite its crackling script, the play did not bring back memories of his own half-century. “I don’t remember my 50th,” Ryan said. “Thirty was a bigger deal for me. I was in rock radio at the time and it meant being over the hill. It’s the same with George, he doesn’t care about turning 50 but it’s a big deal to everyone else.” With granddaughter Danielle as his right hand and a crew including Danny Roberson as stage manager and Dennis Gibson in charge of set construction,

Ryan said the production came together very smoothly — unlike the chaotic events in George’s life. The play will run from March 6 through March 29, with performances at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and doors opening at 7:30 pm. On Sunday, March 23, there will be a matinée presentation at 2 pm, with doors opening at 1:30 pm. On regular performance days, the box office is open at 2 pm at the theater, located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets for the show are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors aged 62 and up and students over 12; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. Advance reservations for all performances are recommended and can be made by calling 541-994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is a non-profit, all volunteer community dating back to 1975. Membership is open to all with dues at $10 per year for individuals, $5 for students, $12.50 for couples and $15 for families. For more information about the theatre, go to www. theatrewest.com.

Art from the heart

The latest show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery highlights the work of three artists whose work shares an emotional core despite their working in very different mediums and using very different styles. Entitled “Ab Intra” — Latin for “From Within” — the show features an eclectic range of work from Cynthia Jacobi, Frances Van Wert and Alice Martin, all of whom live and work in Newport. The show will open on Friday, March 14, with a public reception featuring wine and appetizers and a chance to meet the artists from 5 to 7 pm at the gallery, located within the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101.

Cynthia Jacobi creates with watercolor and mixed media. Often inspired by Oregon nature, she gravitates toward the shapes of salmon, birds, ferns and coastal landscapes but her work has also focused on serious political themes of women, war and children. She said she paints because it activates creative endorphins, allowing the artist to transfer energy to the medium. “It is like playing in a sandbox of paints,” she said. Jacobi said she loves watercolor because of its luminosity and the surprises formed as pigments puddle into the paper. In her mixed-media work, she loves textures and the feel of patterns from nature pressings and found objects. Some of her newest mixed-media pieces also incorporate vintage fishing lures. Her palette tends to be warm as red is her favorite color; from the earthy reds of landscapes to brilliant roses in salmon.

Frances Van Wert also creates mixed media pieces, including found-object art and paper layering. “My mixed-media compositions emphasize color, shape and texture,” she said. “I often use found materials that offer a sense of surprise or mystery. I have a definite preference for abstract art, as it is an acquired taste like fine wine. I also have a love of nature that shows in many of my art outcomes.” Van Wert, who moved to Newport after retiring in 2004, went on to help found the For Artsake Gallery, an art co-op in Nye Beach in 2008. She has shown her artwork at several different galleries in Gig Harbor and

A glass act The latest two-week Spotlight Show from Newport’s Yaquina Art Association will feature glass and clay art from Sally Morris, along with several of her Japanese dolls. Morris learned doll making during her time in Japan and has also lived and studied in Puerto Rico, the Azores and San Diego. In 2004, she moved to the Oregon Coast, where she enrolled in the YAA’s glass and clay classes. Her glass pieces include vases and mobiles, which she creates by taking small glass pieces and shaping them into a larger piece or fusing them together. Once the glass is just as she wants it, she fires it once to fuse the glass and then again to make it into a shape. The show will run from Saturday, March 15, to Friday, March 28, and is available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive.

Tacoma as well as in Portland. “Art expression is a way to communicate ideas and feelings that simmer in the subconscious until they’re set free in some sort of art form,” she said. “The creative process is the avenue for this expression to evolve into some sort of art outcome.” Alice Martin is new to photography, but not new to the world of art. She was raised in a culturally rich environment and began art classes at the age of seven, going on to study art at the Kansas City Art Institute, University of Alaska, and Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. A former professional clay artist, private instructor and adjunct faculty member at the University of Alaska, Martin has exhibited at many fine galleries, won numerous juried exhibition awards and is an Individual Artist Fellowship Grant recipient, funded by the Alaska State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Her career highlights include being part of The Pacific States Collection, which is

displayed at the official residence of Vice President Mondale in Washington D.C. The exhibit went on to be displayed at the National Museum of American Art, also in D.C. Another highlight was a commission by the Alaska State Council on the Arts to create the trophies for the recipients of the Governor’s Awards for the Arts in 1984. Martin said that after many years of working in clay, she needed to find another means of expression — one that she discovered about two and a half years ago when she picked up a camera after buying a home in Newport. “Now, I have devoted myself to an exciting new medium that fuels my unstoppable passion to create,” she said. “However, I do not always use the camera to document reality as a final image. Sometimes, it is just the beginning.” “Ab Intra” will run through April 7 and is available to view from 10 am to 4 pm Thursday to Monday. For more information, call 541-9949994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.
