get out!

Heave yourself up Hebo Coastal range peak is a test for the legs and a feast for the senses Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For Oregon Coast TODAY

The Oregon Coast Range is no slouch. As a matter of fact, 14 peaks in the range, which stretches from the Columbia River to the Coquille, are more than 3,000 feet high. One such peak is Mt. Hebo, located midway between Lincoln City and Tillamook. Although Cascade Head and Drift Creek Falls get the most press as Central Oregon Coast hikes, Mt. Hebo is more than worth a visit, especially if you are looking for something on the longer side. The Pioneer-Indian Trail, part of an original route used by local Indians and white settlers to travel between the Willamette Valley and Tillamook Bay, is eight miles long, providing for a possible 16-mile round trip hike (or run if you are so inclined). Tillamook residents used the route from about 1854 until 1882, when a wagon road was built and it fell into disuse. Luckily, years of horse travel kept it from completely disappearing. The Forest Service formally rebuilt the eight-mile portion as a recreational hiking route in 1984. The trail originates from the Hebo Lake Campground, a four and a half mile drive from the town of Hebo on Highway 101. According to lore recounted in “Oregon Geographic Names,” a surprisingly interesting read, “Hebo” is a time-corrupted version of the term “Heave Ho.” Apparently a gentleman named Isaac Alderman, one of a viewing party that had climbed to the summit to try to find a more direct route between the coast and the Willamette Valley, looked around and proclaimed that the mountain should be called “Heave Ho,” as the view made the mountain look as if it had been heaved up from its surroundings. The summit, located on the halfway point of the Pioneer-Indian trail, provides a panoramic 360-degree view, which cheaters can reach by continuing on the road past the campground and trailhead, but is likely more satisfying after a brisk hike. The campground features 12 sites charmingly arranged around a lake called, as you may have guessed, Hebo Lake. Built as a summer vacation spot by the Civilian Conservation Corps nearly 80 years ago, it is suitable only for tent camping or for those with smaller trailers. The CCC created the three-acre lake as well, which is regularly stocked with rainbow trout has and five handicapped-accessible fishing platforms. Although time has helped erase evidence of it, Mt. Hebo has seen some tough times, from a devastating forest fire that burned the few old growth trees not felled by early logging operations, to a failed tree farm which can be occasionally perceived in stands of uncommonly uniformly spaced trees. It was also the site of an Air Force General Surveillance Radar Station, active from 1956 to 1980. Although the buildings are almost gone, including the 27 homes built for military personnel, a plaque commemorates this tiny portion of Oregon history. On the plus side on the ledger, however, Mt. Hebo is one of the few natural areas associated with a micro brew. The Pelican Pub and Brewery, in partnership with the Seattle Zoo, created an IPA dedicated to the Oregon Silverspot butterfly, a threatened species found only in a few remaining areas, including Mt. Hebo. Since a portion of the

proceeds from the beer go to preserving the habitat of the butterfly and the Pelican Pub is located in nearby Pacific City, you can hike or run the mountain trail followed by a well-deserved glass of Silverspot IPA, all the while helping to save a threatened species. Not a bad day. My foray on the Pioneer-Indian trail took place on a crystal clear day in early November. A friend who didn’t actually plan to travel beyond the campground accompanied me. While I sweated up the trail, she set up her easel on one of the fishing platforms and created a lasting memory of our day. I had taken a long time to try this trail because the description of it made it sound like would be too steep for an enjoyable run. But it turns out that although Hebo is about 3,175 feet high, most of the altitude gain is taken care of in the drive to the trailhead. Although it does climb, the trail itself has a nice, gentle grade for the four miles to the summit, a reasonable gain of about 1,260 feet, before descending down at about the same grade to a second lake at the end of the formal trail. The trail is very well maintained, so I was able to raise my gaze from the few inches of ground in front of my feet and spend more time looking around at the fields of ferns and moss-covered trees that seemed to glow when the sun broke through the trees. On the climbing portions of the trail, when I was moving a bit more slowly, I was entertained by carved wooden signs that provide notable facts about the area, like the edible plants that can be found nearby or the story of the defunct tree plantation. There is one about Mountain Beavers that seemed written by someone with a personal vendetta against the furry creatures, but it still provided entertainment on the trail. As a runner, I particularly appreciated the gentle grade and excellent trail maintenance when descending, as I was able to maintain an enjoyable speed without worry that a downed tree would send me flying face first into the ferns. When I came careening back into the campground, my friend did a double take from my face, which was beaming, to my leg, which was apparently bleeding. That’s a sign of a good adventure, when you loose a little blood and don’t even notice. The day use parking fee at the Mt. Hebo Campground is $5, and the overnight camping fee is $12.

lively Get out and a boat

Don’t get left in the cold

Families looking to do something constructive with their Spring Break could hit the nail right on the head with a visit to the Port of Toledo, which is hosting a Family Boat Build from March 25 to 29. Open to four groups of at least four members each, the boat build will see teams construct a QT Skiff, a flat bottomed, plywood boat capable of holding two adults. The skiff is light enough to be carried on top of a car and is powered by a trolling motor or outboard of up to 5 horsepower. Each group will assemble, shape and sand their boat using power and hand tools, then paint it. At the end of the event, each group will own the boat they built together. The build will take place at Toledo Community Boathouse at the docks in Toledo. It is scheduled to start at 10 am and last four hours each day. There is a $200 per group participation fee and each group must have at least four participants over the age of 12. All materials will be provided and there are no additional costs. Instruction and supervision will be provided by Toledo Community Boathouse volunteers. Participation is first come, first served. Registration fees should be sent to P.O. Box 42, 496 NE Hwy 20, Unit 1, Toledo, OR 97391. For more information, go to http://toledocommunityboathouse.com or call 541336-5207

Registration is now open for the 10th annual Birding & Blues festival, three days of seminars from bird experts and excursions into coastal habitat held in Pacific City against a backdrop of music from Northwest blues legends. The April 12-14 event features experts including Paul Baicich, whose presentation “Birds in our Culture” will focus on the role birds have played in many cultures from ancient to modern times. Oregon birder and author Noah Strycker will present a lively slide show, “Among Penguins” about ice, penguins and the cold comforts of living and working in Antarctica. Meanwhile, in “Stick and Twigs, Spiderwebs and Moss: Bird’s Nests as Messengers,” photographer Sharon Beals will present her highly detailed nest portraits, telling stories of the lives of their builders. Other presentations will include a live birds of prey exhibition and seminars on topics ranging from Beginning Birding to Coastal Conservation Strategies and Efforts. For the outdoor minded, the festival features 14 guided birding hikes to a wide variety of local habitat. Among the offerings are trips to Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Clay Myers State Natural Area and Neskowin Marsh. Birding & Blues has something to offer all ages and interests — including a free Community Open House on Friday afternoon featuring “Tales of Northwest Naturalist.” Kids can also help decorate the Kiawanda Community Center’s great hall in a children’s workshop on bird-themed art led by Kim and Mark Cavatorta of Slug Soup. For a different vantage point, birders can take an allday birding journey on the Three Capes Scenic Tour, a 60-mile round trip that features views of the Pacific Ocean, Netarts Bay, Cape Loookout, Cape Meares Forest and Tillamook pastures — each a unique birding habitat. Additional fees apply to this add-on excursion. The ‘Boogie Cat’ Norman Sylvester and his band will play from 8-11 pm on Friday, April 12, and Grammy nominated Duffy Bishop and her band will take to the stage from 8-11 pm on Saturday, April 13, Both bands will perform at the Kiawanda Community Center and are open to all ages. Admission to both concerts is $10 or guests can opt for a special pass that includes festival field trips, seminars and both concerts. Registration for three days of excursions and seminars is $60 for immediate families, $30 for adults and $15 for students. For more information or to register, go to www.birdingandblues.com or call 503-965-6247.

A bazaarly good time The Tillamook County Fair’s Spring Bazaar will return this weekend, with retail vendors including Avon, Scentsy and Tupperware appearing alongside the traditional handmade offerings for the first time. The Tillamook County Fair Board decided to open the event up to retail representatives to help boost attendance and rebuild the fair’s reputation of having a full group of vendor booths to explore. Fair Manager Miranda Muir said the focus of the Spring Bazaar will remain on handmade items. “We hope adding a few small business representatives will give shoppers a more full experience,” she said “We want them to come and enjoy an entire afternoon exploring what local artisans and entrepreneurs have to offer.” The fair board will be providing concessions for the two-day event, serving breakfast and lunch items. Proceeds from the concessions will benefit the nonprofit fair, helping not only with the four-day event held in August, but also to help maintain the fairgrounds and buildings year round. The bazaar will be open 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 16, and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, March 17, at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds 4603 3rd Street, Tillamook. Admission and parking are free. For more information, call the fair office at 503-8422272.

Katie McCardell and Hannah Ray harvesting dollars

Students aiming high Every athlete dreams of sweeping the boards when award season comes around, but a group of North Lincoln County students recently found themselves sweeping the ceiling to help local sports programs. The student athletes from Taft High 7-12 ditched their pom poms and football helmets for brooms and ladders to harvest cold hard cash from the ceiling of Roadhouse 101 in Lincoln City. Kathy Joy, president of the Taft Tigers Boosters said the ceiling sweep yielded about $2,600, giving the club a head start on its fund-raising in the run up to the March 16 booster auction. “That ceiling is a treasure trove,” she said. Russ Whitehead of Roadhouse 101 said the tradition of flinging bills into the restaurant’s ceiling was already well established when he and his son, Brian, acquired the business and has only grown in popularity since. “You put a tack through the bill, wrap it up in a quarter and somehow it sticks,” Joy said. For the past three years, Roadhouse 101 has used its ceiling coffers to support the boosters, converting the cash into gift certificates to donate to the club’s auction. But this is the first time the restaurant has invited student athletes to harvest the cash directly. Joy said $1,000 of the haul will be used for wrestling programs in line with the roadhouse’s request, while the rest will go toward general booster programs, which include buying safety equipment and uniforms as well as helping send students to state and district meets. She said the roadhouse is also donating gift certificates to the boosters’ auction, which will be held at Chinook’s Seafood Grill at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Saturday, March 16. Doors open at 5 pm, with the silent auction running until 7 pm, when Bob Duby of AA Auction will begin an oral auction. Among the items on offer are a getaway trip donated by Chinook Winds, nights at hotels, glass floats, gift certificates and prints from local photographer Ralph Elliott. Also up for auction are the student athletes themselves, with the boosters selling them off in groups of four to tackle household chores. Tickets for the event are $20, with food options including prime rib, turkey and ham as well as vegetable and fruit platters and desserts from My Petite Sweet. For more details, call Joy at 541-557-1784.

beach reads Don’t take a rain check

Make a scene in Newport Filmmaker Angelique Little will be sharing her expertise on scene writing at a free workshop during the March meeting of Willamette Writers Coast Chapter. Beginning her career as an actress, Angelique Little appeared on “Unsolved Mysteries,” “Days of Our Lives,” “Six Feet Under,” “The O.C.” and as a woman with alopecia in the short film “Hairless” before directing her first short film. That film, “The Smartest Person Who Ever Lived” was “Pick of Fest” at Palm Springs International Festival of Shorts and aired on KTEH as part of the showcase of films at Cinequest. Little studied screenwriting at UCLA and has coached playwrights, novelists and screenwriters to strengthen the emotional core of their stories. She is currently developing a web series about a teenage girl’s search for love while mourning her mother’s death. She is looking forward to writing dynamic scenes across genres with the Willamette Writers and asks that participants bring a scene from their writing that they want to strengthen or an emotional beat that they want to convert into a scene. The free workshop will take place from 7 to 8:30 pm on Tuesday, March 19, in the McEntee meeting room at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street in Newport. Willamette Writers is the largest writers’ organization in Oregon and one of the largest writers’ organizations in the United States. For more information, call Theresa Wisner at 541 270-3870.

From the Yaquina Bay Bridge to the filming of “Sometimes a Great Notion” Newport-based writer Matt Love has a knack of finding topics that sum up life on the Oregon Coast. It appears his next work will be no exception. Love is currently working on a book about rain. Love will speak about his past and future projects at the Saturday, March 16, meeting of Writers on the Edge at the Newport Visual Arts Center A native of Oregon City, Love is the publisher of Nestucca Spit Press as well as the author/editor of 10 books about Oregon. His books include “The Beaver State Trilogy,” “Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon’s Sesquicentennial Anthology,” “Super Sunday in Newport,” “Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker,” and “Love & The Green Lady, Meditations.” His latest book is “Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel,” which completes his Newport Trilogy. In 2009, Love won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. Love is also a regular columnist for the Oregon Coast TODAY. He lives in South Beach with his dog and teaches English, photography, creative writing and journalism at Newport High School. The program begins at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 Beach Drive, Newport. An open mic for local writers will follow the presentation. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. For more information, visit www.writersontheedge.org.

Keeping it in the family The author of “The Sisters Brothers,” a story of two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love in a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier, will talk about his work at The Hoffman Center in Manzanita on Saturday, March 16. Appearing as part of the Manzanita Writers Series, Patrick deWitt will read from his work, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and has been described as an “unforgettable comic tour de force.” Filled with a remarkable cast of characters–losers, cheaters, and ne’er-do-wells from all stripes of life and told by a complex and compelling narrator, “The Sisters Brothers” captures the humor, melancholy and grit of the Old West. Born on Vancouver Island in 1975, deWitt has lived in California and Washington, and currently lives in Oregon. In addition to “The Sisters Brothers” he is the author of the novel “Ablutions” and the screenplay for the film “Terri”, a hit at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. After deWitt’s reading and Q&A, there will be the regular Open Mic where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. The event starts at 7 pm at The Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $7. For more information, go to hoffmanblog.org or contact Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com.

Four the record Four finalists in the 2013 Oregon Book Awards will appear at Newport Public Library on Sunday, March 17, to discuss their work as part of the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour. Kerry Cohen has written six books, including three young adult novels. Two of her books are 2013 Oregon Book Awards nominees. “Seeing Ezra: A Mother’s Story of Autism, Unconditional Love, and the Meaning of Normal” is the memoir of the author’s struggle to protect her son from a system that seeks to compartmentalize and “fix” him. It is a finalist for the Sarah Winnemucca Award for Creative Nonfiction. “Dirty Little Secrets: Breaking the Silence on Teenage Girls and Promiscuity” features stories from self-admitted loose girls across the country, adolescent girls who use sex as a means to prove their worth. It is a finalist for the Frances Fuller Victor Award for General Nonfiction. Jean Esteve grew up on Long Island, studied art at Cornell University’s School of Architecture, and now writes and paints in Waldport. Her collection of poetry, “Off-Key” has been described by Leah Maines, author of “Beyond the River,” as “tender and cutting, and absolutely brilliant.” OffKey is a finalist for the Stafford/Hall Award for Poetry. Aria Minu-Sepehr lived in Iran during the overthrow of the Shah, and his family sought refuge in America. Professionally, he has strived to bring a greater understanding of Iran and the Middle East to his new home and to highlight the respect that exists between East and West outside of politics. His book, “We Heard the Heavens Then,” is a memoir of a boy in revolutionary Iran. Seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old with unusual access to the two poles of his society – modern and traditional – the tale recounts the rising tension, collision and eventual fallout of the split. It is a finalist for the Sarah Winnemucca Award for Creative Nonfiction. Carrie Seitzinger is a finalist for the Stafford/ Hall Award for Poetry for her book “Fall Ill Medicine.” She is also the author of the poetry chapbook “The Dots Don’t Connect.” Seitzinger has been writing, publishing and performing poetry since 2004. A graduate of U.C. Irvine’s program in English, she currently lives and works in Portland. She is the Poetry Editor for Smalldoggies Magazine, and co-hosts the magazine’s reading series. The four will appear at 3 pm in the library, 35 NW Nye Street, Newport. This program was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds OH’s grant program.

Get a jump on St. Patrick’s Day If you want to do St. Patrick’s Day right, there’s a lot to fit in: visiting friends and relatives; eating ill-advised portions of corned beef and cabbage; dancing without a shred of shame — and that’s all before breaking open the whiskey. With that in mind, starting a day early seems like a good call. So it is that the Lincoln City Cultural Center will celebrate St Patrick’s Eve on Saturday, March 16, with Celtic music and dance from the Molly Malone Irish Dancers and the McG’s in a concert that marks the start of José Solano’s Spring 2013 World Music Series. The Molly Malone Irish Dancers hail from the Yeates Academy in Salem, Oregon’s longest running Irish dance school, which has produced many champion Irish dancers during its 35-year history. World qualifier champion dancer Meaghan Feeback and champion dancers Tess O’Halloran and Amelia Douglas are featured performers with the Irish dance troupe and audiences can expect fabulously intricate rhythmic footwork and colorful costumes. Complementing the Irish dancers will be the traditional tunes and Celtic music of the McG’s. This duo features 19-year-old fiddler Hannah McGowan performing Celtic, old-time and bluegrass music. She’s Hannah McGowan been playing the violin since she was 5 and loves to tear into a good Irish jig. Hannah is encouraged and accompanied by her father, Sean. Depending on how much whiskey you’ve had, dust off your dancing brogues or simply take a seat and let the music wash over you. The performance will begin at 7 pm. Tickets are $13 in advance and $15 at the door, with reserved up-front table seating $15 and sold in advance only. There will be light hors d’oeuvres and a no-host bar serving wine and beer. For tickets, drop by the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101, or call 541-994-9994, leave a message and a box of-

Jazz stars are back at the PAC Musicians from Portland and Southern California will converge on the Newport Performing Arts Center on Friday, March 15, for Jazz Stars Reunion — a concert aimed at raising funds to enhance the acoustics of the center’s Alice Silverman Theatre. At the core of the reunion are vocalist Gene Diamond and drummer Mel Brown, who have known each other since first meeting in Portland as teenagers. Diamond brings his friends Jim Hughart (bass) and Yevette Stewart (vocals) from the Los Angeles area, and Mel Brown brings his musical director, Jof Lee (piano), from Portland. Rounding out the group is Lincoln County’s own John Bringetto on trumpet, saxophone and flute. Diamond has been involved with many benefits throughout his career and has performed on the Steve Allen Show, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Allen Ludden’s Gallery and his own PBS show, “On Tour With Gene Diamond,” which had a two-year run. Brown is a fixture on the Portland jazz scene and is known throughout the Northwest as a drummer, band leader and educator. He has served on the Board of the Youth Symphony, performed several times with the Oregon Symphony and was named to the Jazz Society of Oregon Hall of Fame in 1999. Bringetto has played the jazz chair in the Stan Kenton Neophonic, and has backed such singers as Nancy Wilson, John Davidson, Johnny Mathis, Bill Medley, Frankie Avalon and BB King. An avid educator, he became band/choir director of Newport High School, director of Lincoln Pops Big Band and has a jazz duo, Bringetto-Cameron Jazz Orchestra. Hughart has played bass for Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee and Sammy Davis, Jr. to name a few. He has been honored by National Academy of Recording Artists with its Most Valuable Player Award. Meanwhile, Stewart, has been hailed by the late jazz critic Leonard Feather as a singer with “jazz roots … good taste in tunes and plenty, plenty of soul.” Lastly, Lee, a veteran of three decades of studies, performances, and appearances in venues through Canada, Europe, Japan and the U.S., is currently performing both domestically and

fice volunteer will call back to confirm. José Solano’s Spring 2013 World Music Series will continue next month, with performances of Indonesian Gamelan orchestra and shadow puppets on Saturday, April 13. The calendar also includes the cultural center’s second Cinco de Mayo Festival with a Charro equestrian exhibition on Sunday, May 5, and the Lamaie Naki Quartet with Brazilian bossa nova, Portugese fado, Sephardic, Spanish and Middle Eastern music on June 8. The World Music Series is sponsored by a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, through the Visitor Development Fund. The lodging sponsor is Westover Inns, the parent company for the Pelican Shores, Shearwater Inn and the Looking Glass Inn, all in Lincoln City. internationally as a soloist as well as with his own trio. Hosted by Twylah Olson and with sponsorship from the Embarcadero, the show will begin at 7:30 pm at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street, Newport. Tickets are $25 per person or $15 for students, and are available at the center’s box office or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787). Box office hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and one hour prior to performance times.

Blow off St Patrick’s Day? Never!

Between lengthy tales of ancient legend, rambling family histories and good old-fashioned shaggy dog stories, the Irish have developed a reputation the world over for being a touch on the long-winded side. So what better way to mark St. Patrick’s Day than with a performance by the Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble featuring traditional Irish music, along with medleys of show tunes, classical transcriptions, novelty pieces and a Sousa march or two? The ensemble’s St. Patrick’s Day Benefit Concert will take place on Sunday, March 17, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, with proceeds going to the Oregon Coast Aquarium Educational Outreach programs and Food Share. In addition to the music, there will be raffle in the lobby of items donated by band members and local businesses. Proceeds from the raffle will go to support the band’s scholarship fund. The performance will start at 2 pm, with organizers requesting a donation of $10 per adult, $5 per child, and $25 per family. Pre-event tickets are available from band members and from WellRead Books in Waldport. Tickets will also be available at the door on the day of the performance. Group discounts are available for groups of 10 or more. For details, contact Eric Bigler at 541563-7642 or email ebigler@europa.com. Concert-goers are asked to bring an non-perishable item for Food Share. All who do so will be entered into the drawing for a door prize.

Third Seven up on stage Globe trotting cellist returns with genre-defying show Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Given his goal of playing every type of venue possible, from yoga classes to punk rock shows and dive bars to art shows, it was probably just a matter of time until cellist Billy Mickelson would find himself performing on his parents’ doorstep. After five years of touring and performing around the world, Mickelson, who plays as the solo act Third Seven, will take to the stage of the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Friday, March 15. WHAT: Third Seven And Mickelson credits his parents, Dean WHERE: Lincoln City and Lori Mickelson of Lincoln City, with Cultural Center, 540 NE setting him on the path to musical success Hwy. 101, Lincoln City from an early age, starting with Suzuki WHEN: 6:30 pm, Friday, guitar lessons at the age of two. March 15 After that came the piano and then fullsize guitar before Mickelson set his sights COST: $10 in advance/ $12 on the door on the instrument that was to become his greatest love — the cello. CALL: 541-994-9994 Self-taught on a cello that his mom had sitting in a closet, Mickelson practiced and practiced until he got good enough to record string tracks for various bands while at high school. Soon after came his first live performance, when he went on tour with the band Larry and his Flask. Mickelson said his style is unconventional and requires using an affordable cello

If you go

that he feels comfortable “beating on” as well as strumming and bowing. “A lot of people are afraid to hit their cello,” he said. Or to treat it as a drum or to find the other acoustic properties that the instrument has.” Born in New Mexico and having grown up all over the country, Mickelson said his music has long been influenced by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern styles. “I’ve always kind of had a wanderlust,” he said. “I just wanted to travel and see what else is out there.” He said the past five years of touring, throughout Europe as well as the U.S., have allowed him to soak up the musical cultures of Eastern Europe and Southern France. Mickelson said his current approach of playing as wide a range of venues as possible is motivated by a desire not to have his music pigeonholed. “I don’t want to be just one genre,” he said. “I want to be all genres.” In an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible, Mickelson has opened for bands running the gamut from hip hop to heavy metal, bluegrass to jazz and even reggae. “It all works for me and it’s always good,” he said. “There’s never a sour response to my music. I’m grateful that I’ve found at least some form of pallete that’s palatable to all those audiences.” Doors to the March 15 show will open at 6:30 pm in the auditorium at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Beer, wine and refreshments will be available for sale. The music will begin at 7 pm. Tickets, on sale now, are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. For more information, drop by the center, call 541-994-9994, become a friend on Facebook, or check out the website, lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Do something Relay, really worthwhile As any parent will tell you, the secret to a successful birthday party is preparation. Five to six months of planning should be sufficient to prevent any meltdowns regarding the type of cake or the color of the balloons. And the organizers of Lincoln City’s Relay for Life fund-raiser are following this golden rule when laying the groundwork for the 2013 event, which has the theme “celebrating more birthdays.” Organizers are holding a March 21 kick off party at Chinook Winds Casino Resort to get people started on their 2013 fund-raising efforts and introduce new participants to the event. “We encourage people to come if you just want to know what it’s about,” event chair Samantha Escalante said. A fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life began in 1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, circled around a track for 24 hours raising $27,000 for the charity. In the years since, the event has grown to more than 5,200 communities and more than 25 countries worldwide. This year’s Lincoln City event will take place on Aug. 10 and 11 at the Taft High 7-12 track. Escalante said most people tackle the event in teams, with each member walking the track for one hour while their teammates camp out, picnic, dance and play games throughout the night. “Cancer never sleeps,” she said. “So we are not going to sleep.” The Thursday, March 21, kick off party will be held from 5:30 to 7 pm in the Hotel Ballroom at Chinook Winds. Attendees will get the chance to learn about Relay, meet existing team members and register to form a team of their own. People signing up on the night can register their team at the half-price rate of $50. Team captains can pick up packets on how to organize their group as well as advice on how to recruit members and fund-raise. Snacks and door prizes will also be on offer. Attendees will also get the chance to see luminaria — the white paper bags holding a candle and weighted with sand that form the most poignant part of any Relay event, illuminating the track after sundown and inscribed with messages of love and hope. To join Relay For Life Lincoln City, call Escalante at 541-921-0546, or visit the Lincoln City Relay for Life Facebook page.

Spring into some jazz The Newport High School Music Department is inviting the community to attend its Free Spring Concert at Newport’s Performing Arts Center on Thursday, March 21. The Choir and Intermediate Band will perform from 6:30 to 7 pm. There will then be a 45-minute intermission before he High School Jazz Band and Concert Band performs from 7:45 to 8:45 pm. The 14-person choir, with students in 7th to 12th grades, is comprised of Newport Preparatory Academy (NPA) and NHS students. They will be singing five songs of different genres, including Mozart’s “Lacrimosa” and a medley of Everly Brothers’ songs. The Intermediate Band, comprised of 7th and 8th grade students from NPA and Isaac Newton Magnet School, will be performing three pieces, “Portrait of a Clown” by Frank Ticheli; “Paris Mountain Overture”, by Andrew Balent, and “Pirates of the Caribbean” by Hans Zimmer.

A yarn about quilts

In recognition of Women’s History Month, the North Lincoln County Historical Museum will present a lecture on woolen quilts by quilt historian and quilter, Mary Bywater Cross on Saturday, March 16. Cross will explain why all kinds of woolens, including those made from cashmere and vicuna, are her fabrics of choice. She will present information on unique historic and contemporary wool quilts, especially those made from 1850-1900, within the context of the time and place they were made. Cross has lectured widely on various quilt-related topics over the past 20 years. Her expertise comes from her extensive travel and studies of national museums, historical areas and other quilters. As a quilt historian, she endeavors to take awareness of quilts as visual records of women’s history beyond the confines of the quilting world to the broader expanse of public education. Her book on quilts of migration, “Quilts and Women of the Mormon Migrations: Treasures of Transition,” has won national recognition, including an Award of Merit from the American Association of State and Local History. Other publications include “Treasures of the Trunk: Quilts of the Oregon Trail.” Mary Bywater Cross The hour-long program will take place at 1 pm in the museum’s upstairs program room. The museum is located at 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Operation Care Package will be giving people the chance to show they care about The program and admission to the museum are free, thanks to a grant from the U.S. troops serving overseas with a March 23 fund-raiser at the Lincoln City Community Center.

Strike oil in museum raffle

“Greek Stones” by Geoffrey McCormack

Ozone Fine Art is inviting art lovers to a show that presents an intimate look at both the natural and man-made worlds, revealing the colors and patterns at play in each. “Take a closer look” features the kelp studies of oil painter Becky Miller alongside the photo-realistic watercolors of Geoffrey McCormack. “What is interesting about a pile of kelp on the beach?” Miller said. “Kelp becomes particularly interesting to me when studying the leaves that are both translucent and reflective. The colors and patterns are simply gorgeous, and are best viewed up close.” Meanwhile, in his “String Theory” series, McCormack focuses on intriguing details in the manmade world — like shards of ancient Greek pots, strings and paper found among cobblestones. “On one level series can be about common objects placed in fresh relationships and attitudes that beg a new response,” McCormack said. “On another level, they are about reconciling that common object with the standard art issues: composition, form, mass, value, color, light to create space and material presence.” “The paintings of both artists draw you into the experience of kneeling at the waterside finding precious vignettes of the objects left by the surf or stream.” Ozone owner Karen Candelario said. “Artwork from other artists in the gallery further interprets this theme in an array of subject matter and media. The opportunity is to see these different scenes beautifully developed through someone else’s eyes, hands, and minds delivered to yours to enjoy.” “Take a closer look” will opens with a reception from 5 to 7:30 pm on Saturday, March 16, at Ozone Fine Art, 669 SW Bay Blvd., Newport. The show will run until April 15. For more information, call 541-265-9500 or go to www. ozonefineart.com.

An original Michael Gibbons oil painting is the grand prize in a raffle aimed at raising funds to cover the operating costs at the Yaquina River Museum of Art (YRMA).

I’ve slept beneath the stars, and beneath the deck of a boat, and beneath shelters of canvas and nylon, but never until recently had I slept beneath circling sharks. It’s a lot more restful than it sounds. I didn’t even get wet. My husband and son and I recently participated in the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Sleep with the Sharks program, in which families and groups can spend the night at the aquarium in one of the tunnels of Passages of the Deep. Along with 30 others kids and adults from around the state, we got to have the aquarium to ourselves after closing time, learn about the critters that sleep at the aquarium every night, eat dinner and breakfast in the aquarium, go behind the scenes where the public is not usually allowed and drift off to sleep while watching sharks and rays silently slip through the water over our heads. We checked in the evening of our sleepover at the aquarium’s classroom entrance, piling our sleeping bags and pillows in a heap outside the classroom door. There we met our guides

on the cover for the evening as well as the other sleepers, hailing from Portland, Salem, southern Oregon and Lincoln County. An aquarium curator showed us the types of sharks we’d be sleeping with, and taught us how to tell them apart. “Any questions?� she asked as she wrapped up her presentation. This crowd had a lot of questions. “Are there other fish besides sharks in the shark tank?� “Will we fall in the tank?� “Why is the wolf eel called the wolf eel?� “Is that a spider?� (Asked in reference to a spider crab shell hanging from the ceiling.) Once all inquiring minds have been put at ease, we headed off to dinner. After our pizza, we were sent on a quest to answer a series of questions about the creatures of the aquarium, a scavenger hunt of sorts. We had to find something little and pink named after a fruit; a fish in which the males carry the eggs rather than the females; and a creature named after a nocturnal land predator. (OK, if you must know: strawberry anemone, seahorse, wolf eel.) “This is a far cry from the movie-watching, popcorn-eating, hairdo-inventing sleepovers of my youth,� I thought, as I watched my son stroke a sea cucumber in the touch tank. The great thing is that there was just as much giggling to be heard here as there had been at my old-school sleepovers. Next, a snack, a few awesome movie clips featuring some of the animals in the aquarium (Have you ever seen an octopus covet a coconut shell? You ought to) and an activity in which we designed a neutrally-buoyant planktonic organism. Finally, tuckered out, it was time to set up camp. We chose a spot right in the middle of the Open Sea exhibit in Passages of the Deep, otherwise known as the shark tunnel. My son had made a new friend, Catie from Portland, over the course of the evening, so we buddied up with Catie and her mom. We spread camping mats, sleeping bags and pillows and cozied down for the night. We watched, mesmerized, as sharks, rays, mackerel and other open-water species swam over and under us, lulling everyone to sleep with their graceful strokes. And yes, all the kids did fall asleep, eventually. Always the insomniac, it took me a good deal longer than almost everyone else

to fall asleep, but rather than counting sheep, I counted sharks, and I finally dropped off as well. In the morning we packed up and ate breakfast before we got to watch the birds in the aviary eat theirs (for us: cereal, muffins, fruit, yogurt. For them: fish). Then, as if the whole event hadn’t been special enough, we toured behind the scenes, above the Passages of the Deep tanks to see what the tanks look like from the back. SCUBA divers were preparing to descend into the tanks to give them a scrubbing, and we learned about how they keep themselves safe from the sharks. We also learned that the bat rays have a real-life bat signal that summons them to a special feeding area at meal times.

Tide Tables | The TODAY’s Dining Guide Q

End the day at the Bay Harboring a desire for Italian food? Harbor Lights has you covered. Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Bob Blessinger, owner and chef at the Harbor Lights Inn in Depoe Bay, takes the term “homemade” seriously. “Sometimes you walk into the kitchen and there is pasta hanging everywhere,” said his wife and business partner, Beni. The fresh pasta is not just a bold decorating choice; it’s also the backbone of the menu for “Italian Nights at Harbor Lights,” which includes local products like Dungeness crab and fresh bread baked right down the road at the Depoe Baykery. Bob’s pasta making talent goes beyond simple spaghetti; he also hand makes the long flat noodles for his four-layer meat lasagna and the macaroni-shaped noodles for the mac and cheese dish that comes as a side with most menu items. Bob says the side dish has been “hugely popular,” which isn’t surprising, as he makes it with five different cheeses: fontina, gruyere, parmesan, mozzarella, and white cheddar. Bob even makes his own ravioli for the Dungeness Crab Stuffed Ravioli with sherry cream sauce, which comes in two portion sizes. “I’m thinking of doing two portion sizes with the lasagna too because it’s kind of huge,” he said. Other menu items include spaghetti with both meat and vegetarian options, and chicken parmesan, served with spaghetti with marinara sauce. Other appetizers include the Carprese Sausage Bruschetta and Cheezy Garlic Bread, made with three Italian cheeses. The menu also features weekly specials, like Chicken Vesuvio, breaded chicken bread sautéed with lemon juice, wine, onions and mushrooms; or classic Italian meatloaf with a side of the mac and cheese. All meals can be accompanied by a cocktail from the full service bar, or just stop in for a drink; the cozy lounge located off the dining room is open during restaurant hours. Although there are challenges to the D River’s claim as the world’s shortest river, Depoe Bay seems to have a lock on the title as world’s smallest navigable harbor. As the only restaurant on the east side of the bay, the Harbor Lights Inn has a unique view, as well as optimal weather on the south facing deck. “It gets really warm in the summer,” said Bob. “The first year we sat out there in the middle of January and had a glass of wine with Beni’s Aunt Tippi.” That would be Tippi Hedren, the iconic movie star who helped put California’s Bodega Bay on the map with her performance is Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller “The Birds.” “She visits a few times a year,” said Bob. The Harbor Lights Inn was previously owned by another iconic woman who helped put Depoe Bay on the map, Gracie Strom, who operated it as Gracie’s Landing Bed and Breakfast Inn while simultaneously running the Sea Hag. The Blessingers became the owners of the 11-room B&B last July, after having worked there for four years. The couple met in Stanley, Idaho; a town with a population of 70, where Bob was running the restaurant and lounge at the Mountain Village Resort, and Beni applied for a job as bartender. “I hired her and kept her,” said Bob. They decided to turn the existing kitchen and breakfast dining area into a restaurant and open it to the public shortly after buying the business. “Italian is something I really enjoy cooking,” said Bob. “There’s not much of in Lincoln County. I was planning this menu well before I knew the Italian Riviera was going to close, so now there is

even less.” The warm and friendly vibe and reasonable prices are getting the new business venture off to a good start. “Most of our business so far has been locals,” said Bob. “We had some people stop in last weekend that had asked a couple on the beach to recommend somewhere for dinner. They said ‘We haven’t been there yet but we’ve been hearing great things about Italian Nights at Harbor Lights.’” The Harbor Lights Inn is located at 235 SE Bay View Avenue in Depoe Bay. They are open Fridays and Saturdays from 5 pm “until it dies down, usually around 8.” For more information or to make a reservation call 541-765-2322 or 800-228-0448, or visit their website at www.theharborlightsinn.com.

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

Happy 100th birthday Tom McCall Were he alive, former Oregon Governor Tom McCall would turn 100 on March 22. This is a birthday worth celebrating and many of us are doing exactly that because we want to honor an Oregon politician who immeasurably improved our lives and had the temerity to say something like, “Oregon is demure and lovely, and it ought to play a little hard to get. And I think you’ll be just as sick as I am if you find it is nothing but a hungry hussy, throwing herself at every stinking smokestack that’s offered.” Skeptical of such an outrageous claim that McCall improved our lives? Just amble down Oregon’s publicly-owned beaches at no cost and you must surely agree. Back in 1967, McCall helped protect them from exploitation by his impassioned support of the Beach Bill, eventually signing it into law after a hardfought legislative victory where he bucked his own party’s leadership. During his two terms as a maverick Republican (1967-1975), McCall and a largely bipartisan legislature collaborated to implement a series of progressive governing initiatives that McCall collectively called “The Oregon Story.” McCall described “The Oregon Story” to one national reporter as one of, “innovation and regeneration that can actually be used anyPhotos by Gerry Lewin where. We’re trying to export the hope and the formula.” In this era, Oregon could boast of many political innovations, most of them nationwide firsts: protection of beaches from privatization and development, a law dedicating one-percent of highway funds for bicycle and pedestrian paths, a mandatory five-cent deposit on returnable cans and bottles, an effort to clean up the polluted Willamette River, visionary land use planning to preserve farm and forestland, a forest practices act, an open public meetings law, penal reform, decriminalization of marijuana, a statesponsored rock festival to forestall violence (Vortex 1) and an astonishing level of voluntary energy conservation promoted by the state government that inspired many citizens to do the same. Everyone who has ever spent any time in Oregon has benefitted from the bold bipartisan accomplishments achieved during the McCall era. In effect, they led Oregon to Governors McCall and Reagan become one of the most

desirable places to live in the country within a single generation. When I hear the name “Tom McCall,” I like to imagine an alternate (better) American history where he was the Western Republican Governor who became president, not Ronald Reagan. “President McCall.” It has such a wonderful ring to it. Just think where this country would be today after two of his terms in the White House as opposed to Reagan’s. I do all the time. In fact, I’m going to write a historical science fiction novel with that exact premise. I plan on calling it “McCallandia.” In my decade-long unearthing of numerous McCall anecdotes, one humorously stands above all others as exemplifying the great spirit of the man. It came to me courtesy of Depoe Bay resident Jay Nicholls, who was a high school friend of McCall’s son Sam in the mid to late 1960s and later became friends with McCall. I’ll let Jay tell the tale: “In 1977-78, I was a young greenskeeper at Devil’s Lake Golf Course in Lincoln City and Tom used to come out and play golf. It was just after he finished his second term. I lived in Roads End and Tom had a second home there. He was kind of a hack but had a lot of fun and always played with the salt of the earth type guys, no politicos. Audrey (his wife) would drop him off and I would often take him home in my 1964 Volkswagen bus, a model notorious for not starting at times. “During our rides, he would ask me my reflections on today’s youth and we’d talk about cheese. Tom loved cheese! He’d always invite me in and we’d drink a cold beer. He loved it ice cold, in a bottle. “One day Tom needed a ride home, but the bus wasn’t starting. I said, “Okay, but we need to give it a push.” So we both got behind the bus and gave it a push. We got it rolling down the fairway and I got up in the front and jumpstarted the thing. I threw open the passenger door and Tom came running up, hopped in, and said, “Jay, they can never tell you I’m not a man of the people.” Happy 100th birthday Tom McCall. I’m going to the beach now to walk the old husky. I’ll draw you a cake and decorate it with a hundred driftwood candles and relish the idea of how hard I plan on celebrating your birthday party at the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 6 pm on Friday, March 22.

Rediscover the “Lost Pioneer” A story about early pioneer life in Tillamook County is back by popular demand for a onenight performance at the Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook on March 17. “Lost Pioneer” uses imaginative storytelling to bring pioneer life face to face with the modern era. When the main character suffers a bump on the head in a traffic accident, she drifts in and out of consciousness, taking the audience on a trip back in time through relived memories and storytelling. “Lost Pioneer” is performed by acclaimed actress of stage and screen, Megan Liz Cole, who also helped write the story in a collaborative effort with local historian Mark Beach and awardwinning Portland playwright Ellen West. The play was performed along the coast last year for sold-out audiences and after receiving many requests from the public, its creators decided it was time to bring it back. Presented by the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA), the show will be performed at 3 pm in the newly remodeled Barn Community Playhouse, located at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. Doors open one-half hour prior to curtain and concessions will be available both before and after the show. Audiences will also have an opportunity to interact with Cole and Beach after the 45-minute performance. Seating is general admission and the ticket price is $10. Advance tickets may be purchased at Diamond Art Jewelers in Tillamook, or call 503-842-7940. For more information, visit TAPA on facebook, go to www.tillamooktheater.com or email info@tillamooktheater.com.
