HAVE A DOUBLE THIS ST. PATRICK’S DAY The Lincoln City Cultural Center is serving up a double helping of St Patrick’s Day celebration this year, with a two-day party sure to satisfy even the most energetic emerald-clad reveler. On both Thursday, March 16, and again on Friday, March 17, the center will present a traditional Irish dinner along with music and dance performances — offering double the chance to take part in an event that sold out in both 2015 and 2016. Head chef and events manager Judy Hardy will be dishing up homemade corned beef and cabbage, served with carrots and potatoes, plus Irish soda bread and a surprise dessert. The entertainment will begin at 7 pm, led by the Pipedance duo of Gary
The
Pipedance
Burman and Nora Sherwood, with Burman on Irish uilleann bagpipes, flutes, whistles and guitar, and Sherwood on bodhrán and whistles. Sherwood will also be performing sean-nós dance, an old style Irish dancing
characterized by low-to-theground, impromptu footwork. The pair will be joined by Jason Courtney on Irish bouzouki and Bobbie Lou Stirling on bodhrán and other instruments for a full quartet of Celtic sound.
Six performers from the Claddagh Dancers of Salem will take to the stage, alongside the growing local contingent, aka: Lincoln City Sean-nós, all dancing to live music by Pipedance. Right before the performance, and during intermission, volunteers will be selling Northwest beers and wines, My Petite Sweet cookies, sodas and Mountain Man snacks. Advance tickets are $30 for dinner and the show, with seating at 6 pm both nights. Show-only table seating is also available at $16 for adults or $5 for kids, with seating at 6:45 pm. Tickets are $2 more on the night of the show. To purchase, go to lincolncityculturalcenter.org or call 541-994-9994.
Air force band hits the high notes Wind is something that the US Air Force spends a lot of time thinking about. Perhaps none more so than the five members The Golden West Winds, an air force woodwind quintet that will perform a free concert in Lincoln City on Thursday, March 23. Professional musicians who play flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon, the quintet is part of the US Air Force Band of the Golden
West from Travis Air Force Base, California. The group plays everything from marches and jazz to classical pieces and recitals of original works for woodwind quintet. The March 23 performance will begin at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, go to www.bandofthegoldenwest. af.mil/events/index.asp
FOOL’S DAY CABARET SATURDAY, APRIL 1 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center
The Festival of Illusions is fast approaching. But why let the professionals have all the fun? Be part of the show this year by stepping into the spotlight at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This smorgasbord of songs, dances, tricks, jokes and skits will feature music by jazz trio Rick DiBlasi, Rick LeDoux and Peter Hinsbeeck — all accompanied by a delicious dessert of raspberry fool.
Admission is $20 • 540 NE Hwy 101 Tickets available online at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org Proceeds benefit the Lincoln City Warming Shelter — because homelessness is no joke.

CAUGHT IN THE REFLECTION Memory can be a slippery business. It was a point driven home when I sat down to write my memoir of the years covering the Oregon Coast. Reading through my journals from those days, I was surprised to discover that at times the memory and the written record simply did not match. Likewise, my husband and I will find ourselves completely at odds over memories of past experiences. Likely few appreciate memory like writer Floyd Skloot. For Skloot, whose brain was attacked by a virus in 1988, memory is a trickster of sorts, an elusive companion not to be trusted. And yet, his memoirs are some of his finest work. I caught up with Skloot by phone recently in advance of his visit to the upcoming Willamette Writers’ meeting in Newport. When he mentioned recently that he has been writing essays about memories, including shared memories, I asked, were there any surprises? Skloot laughed. Sure, there’d been a few. In talking with fellow cast members from a play he’d acted in decades ago, he found their memories often differed. And there was the trip in 1963 to Atlantic City for the first Super Bowl, which was blacked out in his home town of Long Beach — an island just off Long Island. He recalled the four friends who accompanied him to the New Jersey hotel room where they watched on TV the showdown between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. He remembered stepping out into the bitter cold for some fresh air and hearing the cheers from the other rooms as the game played out on TV. He shared the memory with his wife Beverly Hallberg who suggested Skloot get in touch with his old
boyhood friends to share their memories. And so he did. They were not the conversations he expected. ••• I first learned of Skloot’s work in 2003 when his memoir “In the Shadow of Memory” debuted. The story details his life after the virus, which not only devastated his memory, but cost him his ability to think abstractly and lowered his IQ by 20 points. In it, he writes, “Memory loss moves through everything else like a ghost; nothing can stop it. It insinuates itself into life moment by moment, invisible to others except in how it makes its host respond. Having lost the integrity of my mental process, my past and often my present, I sometimes sense images floating away like ghosts too, the familiar transformed in a flash to the strange. I am haunted by what I have missed, though it happened to me.” Before the virus, Skloot had written poetry and two and a half novels. But after the virus, he found he could no longer hear the voices of his fictional characters. “What I could hear was my own voice,” he said. “I think it was telling me, You must write what is going on in your own life or this virus is going to silence you.” And so he again set about writing, learning to cope with his deficits as he wrote. “As a result of neurological damage, I can’t do structure,” he told me. “I can’t plan a book. “It’s
taken me years to recognize how to proceed in developing essays. The books develop essay by essay without a theme in mind. Each essay is really put together from fragments, as well. Eventually it reads with greater cohesion than it sounds. “I’m really good about taking notes and putting them in colored-coded files. It’s frustrating. Sometimes I’ll have an idea and I’ll lose it if I don’t get it down. I have pens and paper everywhere.” Obviously, his process works. His awards include three Pushcart Prizes, a Pen USA Literary Award, two Pacific NW Awards and two Oregon Book Awards. He has been named by Poets & Writers “One of fifty of the most inspiring authors in the world.” (He is also the very proud dad of Rebecca Skloot, celebrated author of the New York Times bestseller “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” On Sunday, March 19, at 2 pm at the Newport Public Library, Skloot will talk about how he built one of his prize-winning essays, “The Famous Recipe,” and also how that essay in turn became a key part of building his book “Revertigo: An OffKilter Memoir.” I suspect he’ll also be happy to tell you, too, the rest of the story of that prized memory of his visit to Atlantic City. Lori Tobias is the author of the novel “Wander” and a journalist of many years. Follow her at loritobias.com.

A novel with great a-peel The experience of raising a transgender child will take center stage in Manzanita on Saturday, March 18, when Laurie Frankel reads from her new novel “This Is How It Always Is.” The book tells the story of a family of five boys, the youngest of whom becomes a girl. Frankel has drawn on her own experiences as a parent with a transgender daughter to write a novel for anyone who has to toss out the best laid plans in the face of the unexpected, and for anyone who finds changes both terrifying and miraculous. The novel has won praise as “well-plotted, well-researched, and unflaggingly interesting,” by Kirkus, while People magazine described it as being “in the lead for the most sensitively and sincerely told story of 2017.” Frankel, who lives in Seattle with her daughter and husband, is the author of two previous novels, “The Atlas of Love” and “Goodbye for Now.” Saturday’s reading will start at 7 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue, and will be
followed by a Q&A and an Open Mic where up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of their original work. The suggested theme for the evening’s Open
Mic is “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.” Admission for the evening reading is $7. Earlier that same day, Frankel will lead a workshop entitled “Project Journaling,” aimed at showing writers how keeping a journal can help with projects ranging from novels and memoirs to poetry and blog posts. “The idea is that in addition to writing whatever you’re writing, you also write about it,” Frankel said, “your goals/ milestones, your thoughts
about directions to go next, realizations about what you need to go back and fix, research done and how it might be incorporated, research that still needs doing, problem-solving, to-do lists.” The workshop will run from 1 to 3:30 pm Hoffman Center for the Arts. Tuition is $40 and registration is available at hoffmanblog.org. For more information, go to hoffmanblog.org or email Kathie Hightower at kathiejhightower@gmail.com.
On the edge of something new? Newport’s Writers on the Edge is seeking proposals from groups who would like to adopt the organization, which has been supporting writers and writing for 20 years. The group’s popular monthly Nye Beach Writers series, which features successful writers doing readings, talks and workshops, has been on hiatus since June 2016, due to a shortage of volunteers and diminishing funds. New people are needed to bring it back to life.
“You can take WOE in whatever direction your literary muse leads you,” said outgoing president Sue Fagalde Lick, “whether it’s readings, workshops, open mics, critique groups, or social gatherings.” Founded under the guidance of Carla Perry, Writers on the Edge has a long history of supporting literature on the Oregon Coast and has hosted writers including Cheryl Strayed, Chuck Palahniuk and Brian Doyle.
Lick said whoever takes over will start with a good reputation, an existing 501c3 nonprofit organization with all the paperwork and taxes up to date, an extensive mailing list, audio and video equipment, and miscellaneous meeting materials, including the coffee pot. Proposals and questions should be emailed to woewriters@gmail.com or sent by mail to Writers on the Edge, 428 NW 17th Street, Newport, OR 97365, no later than April 30.

A trip down memoir lane Renowned poet, essayist, memoirist and novelist Floyd Skloot will discuss the art of memoir when he appears in Newport this Sunday, March 19, as a guest of the Willamette Writers’ Coast Chapter. Skloot’s books include the memoirs “In the Shadow of Memory” and “The Wink of the Zenith: The Shaping of a Writer’s Life,” the poetry collections “Approaching Winter” and “The Snow’s Music” and the novel “The Phantom of Thomas Hardy.” His talk will focus on the way he built one of his prize-winning essays, “The Famous Recipe,” and also how that essay in turn became a key part of building his book “Revertigo: An Off-Kilter Memoir.” He will discuss key elements of memoir writing, including sources, research, structuring, narrative development and pursuit of truth. Interspersed with readings and with time for questions, the talk will also include a brief examination of Skloot’s unusual use of
the memoir form in writing his novel “The Phantom of Thomas Hardy.” Skloot’s work has won three Pushcart Prizes, the PEN USA Literary Award, been a finalist for the Barnes and Noble Discover Award and the PEN Award for the Art of the Essay. In 2010, Poets & Writers Inc. named him “One of 50 of the Most Inspiring Authors in the World.” He lives in Portland and Manzanita with his wife, Beverly Hallberg. Skloot’s daughter, Rebecca Skloot, is the bestselling author of “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” soon to be released by HBO as a major motion picture starring Oprah Winfrey. Floyd and Rebecca co-edited “The Best American Science Writing 2011.” Sunday’s free presentation will run from 2 to 4 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street.

Erosion, a mission anG ¿FWion The winter semester of the Oregon Coast Learning Institute will continue this Tuesday, March 21, pairing a primer on coastal erosion with a pair of lectures on women who made their mark on Oregon history. The learning will begin at 10 am with a presentation from Dr. Paul D. Komar on causes of erosion in the Pacific Northwest. Komar said that while rising sea levels and extreme storm events are often seen as the main causes of erosion along ocean shores, underlying causes can also contribute, including the coast’s tectonic setting as well as human alterations in waterways and shorelines. “With projections of accelerated rates of rising sea levels due to global warming, evidence of the intensities of storms are increasing, producing higher waves,” he said. “The expectation is that by the end of the century, erosion will extend along the full length of the Pacific Northwest, with the destruction of properties far exceeding those we experience at present.” At 1 pm, Mick McLean will give a presentation on the life and influence of Narcissa Whitman, who, together with Eliza Spaulding, was one of the first white women to cross the Rocky Mountains and establish missions in the Oregon Territory. Whitman’s writings proved an inspiration for many
FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO WWW. OCLI.US OR CALL RIC AT 541-994-4810. women who traveled the Oregon Trail. McLean will explain why he thinks a statue of Whitman, perhaps holding the hand of Mary Ann Bridger, daughter of Mountain Man Jim Bridger, is long overdue. The day will wrap up at 2 pm with a presentation from Joi Hess and Gail Ohm on Edith Green and Beverly Cleary, two Oregon women of note. Green was one of few women from Oregon elected to the US Congress. Her efforts had a profound effect on education and women’s rights. Cleary, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday, is one of Oregon’s most famous authors, whose best-known characters include Henry Huggins, Ralph S. Mouse and Ramona and Beezus Quimby. The Oregon Coast Learning Institute meets each Tuesday at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort, located east of the traffic light at Gleneden Beach. Dues of $50 cover all of the 12 Tuesdays in the winter semester, and guests are always welcome to attend a full day’s presentations for free.

BECOME A NATURAL STUDENT Registration is now open for the summer season of workshops at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, nestled amid a towering spruce forest just north of Lincoln City, with views of the Salmon River Estuary and Pacific Ocean. Those wishing to explore sculpture can learn to work in wet-carved concrete, build a mosaic water fountain, chisel a sanderling in wood or hand-build abstracted natural forms in clay. From felting to metalsmithing to book arts, top-notch instructors guide students within a supportive, inspiring setting. Well-known Sitka instructors returning this year include Kim Stafford, Margot Voorhies Thompson, Mark Brody
and Wuon-Gean Ho. Among those teaching at the center for the first time are watercolor painter Sally Cleveland, composer Ben Cosgrove and pioneering Solarplate printmaker Dan Welden. Meanwhile, ecology workshops will give students the chance to learn about the trees of Cascade Head Experimental Forest with a forester, delve into pollination ecology with an entomologist or explore the Salmon River estuary with a hydrologist. Professional artists can stretch their skills with a variety of workshops like “Watercolor for Serious Painters” and learn to photograph 2D artwork or improve critique and teaching skills.
Indulge your inner geek with workshops in digital storytelling, 3D modeling with low-tech fabrication, and iPhone photography — back by popular demand in an expanded two-day format. Most workshops are designed for adult students, while several Sitka Art Circle workshops are open to kids aged 10 and older. These introductory halfday workshops cost only $25 to sample painting, drawing, writing, mosaic and printmaking with skilled instructors in a well-equipped studio. Some scholarships are available. To register, become a member or learn more, visit www.sitkacenter.org or call 541-994-5485.
CARVING OUT A NICHE The intersection of art and science will be up for discussion at the latest session in the Science on Tap series from Newport’s Hatfield Marine Science Center this Tuesday, March 21. In a presentation entitled “Art & Science — translating marine science into playful and accessible public art” Rebecca Welti will draw upon her 40-year career as a woodcarver, much of which has been spent carving within a few feet of the high tide in Southeast Alaska. A former artist-inresidence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Welti
has been working on a fascinating art-and-ecology project in collaboration with scientists at Hatfield, creating educational materials that focus on the many forms of plankton. She has collected samples from various coastal water bodies and recreated the unique organisms in playing pieces for a board game that aims to engage non-scientist audiences. Science on Tap will start at 6 pm at Rogue Brewer’s on the Bay, 2320 OSU Drive, with doors opening at 5:15 pm. For more information call 541-867-0234.

The fastest car you ever saw
An upcoming race involving two packs of Lincoln City Cub Scouts will see competitors hoping to leave their fellow scouts in the dust — the sawdust to be precise. The Thursday, March 23, race is a Pine Wood Derby, a contest that challenges scouts to create a winning car from no more than a seven-inch block of wood, four wheels and four nails. Cub Scouts from Lincoln City’s Pack 47 and Pack 466 will line up their creations on the starting line at 6 pm in the Old Fire House, located at 1206 SE 48th Place in Taft. The Pine Wood Derby tradition goes back to 1953 when Manhattan Beach Cub Master Don Murphy organized the first event to provide an activity his younger son, who was too young to participate in the Soap Box Derby. The new event saw the younger cub scouts craft model cars from wooden blocks and race them down

READY TO STORM THE STAGE? THE NORTHWEST COMIC CON DEBUTS IN TILLAMOOK By Ann Powers
For the TODAY
Ready to get your geek on? Then unleash your inner nerd and come out of the closet in your favorite “Star Wars,” She-Ra or Richie Rich costume to join hundreds of comic culture nerds and creative types for the First Annual Northwest Comic Con, this weekend in Tillamook. Doors open from 10 am to 8 pm on Saturday, March 18, and from 10 am to 6 pm on Sunday, March 19, at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, 4603 East 3rd Street. Versus Comics is hosting the event, which promises fans of all ages a chance to meet their favorite comic industry characters, celebrities, authors, artists and media creators. “Timothy Zahn is our premier guest,” said Corveaux Millions, who co-owns Versus Comics with his partner, Luna Millions (both names are pseudonyms). “He is a science fiction writer and has worked on several Star Wars expanded universe adaptations and has his own series. We also have Vincent Ward from season three of ‘The Walking Dead,’ and much more, as our guest celebrity actor. Our company will be debuting it’s first comic book title ‘Rando’ and we will have many other great comic book artists in attendance as well.” Organizers said activities also include video game tournaments and a cosplay photo booth — where participants can have their picture taken against a green screen, digitally superimposed on one of several sci-fi backgrounds and delivered via email or Facebook. “It gives the community a chance to come together in a fun, family-friendly way that is fresh and current,” Luna said. “And it gives vendors from different areas a chance to meet the local families who enjoy the culture in a more genre-specific way.” On Saturday, Dr. Love, billed as

KISS tribute show Dr. Love
the premiere KISS tribute show of the Pacific Northwest, is scheduled to “rock and roll all night” in full makeup and costume, while kicking up seven-inch leather heels on a stage adorned with lasers, fire and fake blood. Neah-Kah-Nie High School music teacher Michael Simpson plays ‘Space Ace’ — fashioned after KISS lead guitarist and founding band member, Ace Frehley. He admits he wanted to be a cartoonist
as a kid, “before the music caught me,” and has a definite appreciation for the creative comic lifestyle. “I’m really looking forward to playing Comic Con,” Simpson said. “It’s a big deal and it’s about more than comic books. You get a concert out of it and you get to play dressup and meet all kinds of artists talking about the craft they love.” And all in a more intimate venue setting than some of the larger conventions nationwide, said Monty

Elliott, the convention’s coordinator and Versus Comics’ first customer when it opened its doors last August. Elliott said organizers focused on bringing community members together for a family-oriented event, while giving area businesses a boost during the tourism shoulder season. “Nobody else has tried it around here,” he said. “We expect up to 2,000 people and 30-plus vendors staying overnight, who also have to eat here for two or three days. People just need to come out and have a really good time.” “Many members of the community — a lot of children, but adults as well — have managed to find themselves a safe place here where they are allowed to
be themselves,” said Luna, who wears her passion for super heroes on her sleeve, literally. Her arms are covered in tattoos of “X-Men” characters. “A first-time customer will come in shy and quiet, until they are a third-time customer, and then they are chatty and alive,” she said. “Our video game tournaments have brought kids from all different parts of the community together in our store where they have made friends and have done battle on a different type of competitive playing field.” Both Luna and Corveaux plan on donning complete comic-culture couture during the convention as characters from Turbo Galaxy 1606 — a comic strip they produce and hope to turn into a web series. “Look for the gruffy tatted blonde and talking ape sidekick,” Corveaux said. The 501st Legion will also be on hand in full garb. Nicknamed Vader’s First, the international fan-based organization is dedicated to the construction and wearing of screen-accurate replicas of Imperial Stormtrooper armor as well as the outfits of Sith lords, clone troopers, bounty hunters and other villains from the Star Wars universe. “Everyone is welcome at the Northwest Comic Con,” Luna said. “Whether you’re a superhero fan, or a comic book nerd, or don’t have a clue what any of this is all about — there’s a place for everyone at the NWCC.” For more information about the First Annual Northwest Comic Con, go to www.facebook. com/northwestcomiccon/ or call 1-888-4COMIC4, ext. 4 (1-888426-6424 ext. 4). Admission is $20 per day for adults or $10 for kids; with two-day passes $25 and $15 respectively. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event at the door, or in advance online at www. northwestcomiccon.com.

Kids on the walls The artistic skills of students from Lincoln City’s Taft High School are on display in the latest exhibit at the Chessman Gallery. Students of art teacher Noah Lambie from grades nine through 12, are 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.” 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 exhibit will be on display until April 10 at the gallery, located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. . For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter. org.
