A suit-able model By Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher
Assistant editor Quinn didn’t want to put his pants on this past Saturday morning. There’s nothing especially unusual about that. The boy has a fleeting relationship with pants at the best of times and has his backside on display more often than Kim Kardashian. But on this particular morning, pants were a crucial part of my plan. With Lincoln City’s Festival of Illusions fast approaching, we needed a cover model to take to the stage at the Lincoln City Cultural
Center in full-on magician garb — cape, pinstripe vest and, yes, pinstripe pants. Using a banana as a diversion, I was able to finagle Quinn into his shirt and vest. But by the time it was pants o’clock, both my luck and the banana had run out — leaving me facing a blizzard of kicks and an ocean of tears. Knowing that no one wants to see a magician cry (with the possible exception of David Blaine), I decided to let him wear his jeans and bide my time for an ambush later on. Fortunately, once we arrived at the cultural center, Laura Green
the Juggling Queen came to my rescue with a secret weapon — Max Johnson and his incredible box of tricks. Rigged up to tow behind a bicycle, the shiny metal chest is packed with just about everything a soon-tobe-three-year-old could ever want to mess with; balls, clubs, colorful scarves, balloons, plungers, feather dusters and even a rubber chicken or two. The only catch? This box of tricks came with a strict dress code; no pants, no service. Never have I seen a kid don pinstripes so fast. See story, page 16

Seedy goings on, in Manzanita
Tall tales and shallow pools Long dogs will have their day in the sun on Sunday, March 20, when children’s author Kizzie Jones visits Cape Perpetua to read from her dachshund-themed works before joining naturalists for a tour of the tide pools. Jones blends her love of dachshunds and the ocean to create whimsical tall tales such as “How Dachshunds Came to Be” and “A Tall Tale About A Dachshund.” “I am so delighted for this opportunity to share with the community,’’Jones said. “I wrote these books while vacationing in Yachats.” Jones lives in the seaside town of Edmonds, Washington, and is inspired by her three dachshunds, Buster, Josie and Lacey. She has won first-place honors for non-fiction writing from Write on the Sound writers’ conference. In 2013, “How Dachshunds Came To Be” garnered first-place awards in the Tall Tales category of Readers’Favorite, the National Indie Excellence Book Award for Cover and Graphic Design, and New York’s Beach Book Festival. Her presentation, the latest offering from the Winter Discovery Series, will start at 2 pm at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, 2400 S. Hwy. 101, three miles south of Yachats Admission is free, but a Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Passport, federal recreation pass or $5 day-use fee is required within to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area.

If you’ve ever wondered how the chili got its spice, what puts the buzz in coffee or why you just can’t shift that stubborn weed that’s growing from the crack in your pathway, author Thor Hanson has answers. Hanson will read from his latest book “The Triumph of Seeds,” at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita on Saturday, March 19, giving some insight into how grains, nuts, kernels and pips helped shape human history. Spanning locations ranging from the rainforests of Costa Rica and Nicaragua to flower patches and backyard gardens to the spice routes of Kerala, the book shows how seeds have influenced everything from the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Industrial Revolution to the shape of the human face. As well as an author and biologist, Hanson is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Switzer Environmental Fellow and winner of the John Burroughs Medal. He is currently pursuing projects on Tufted Puffins, native bees and rare butterflies, and is involved in an international effort to assess the ecological impacts of warfare. His books include “The Impenetrable Forest” and “Feathers,” as well as an illustrated children’s book and his work has been covered by news outlets around the world, including NPR, Reuters, Scientific American, The New York Times and The Times of India.

Talk some smack in Newport
Get your shorts on The Nye Beach Writers Series is bracing for a brief encounter on Saturday, March 19, as it welcomes short story author Evan Morgan Williams to the Newport Visual Arts Center. Williams will read from his collection of stories, “Thorn,” which presents a series of marginalized characters struggling to survive amid hopes and dreams lived on the edge of society, often against a Pacific Northwest backdrop. “Thorn” won the Chandra Prize at BkMk Press and has since been long-listed for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award. A1 Young, who selected “Thorn” as the winner of the G.S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short fiction, had high praise for Williams’writing in his foreword to the book. “The seductive beauty of these subtle, troubling fictions reflect their author’s dreamy, voice-drenched visions of underdog lives,” Young said. “With his vivid descriptions of these characters and their experiences, Williams explores
their psyches and personal struggles, but common themes tie these stories together in ways that invite readers to see their own struggles and relationships in new ways.” Williams has published more than 40 stories in such magazines as Witness, Antioch Review and Kenyon Review. He has an MFA from the University of Montana and has taught in a public school for more than 20 years. Most recently, he has held a Writers in the Schools residency, an AWP Writer to Writer mentorship, and gave the inaugural reading in Eastern Oregon University’s revived Ars Poetica Visiting Writer Series. More information about Williams is available at http:// evanmorganwilliams.blogspot. com. The reading, which is open to all, will start at 7 pm at 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an open mic for local writers. General admission is $8; students get in free. For more information, go to www. writersontheedge.org.
Newport will rally around one of its own on Sunday, March 20, with a Cancer Smack Down Fundraiser to help local artist and writer Andrew Rodman. A talented contributor to the local art scene, Rodman has been waging a battle with a rare form of pancreatic cancer since 2010. Despite an original prognosis that gave him just months to live, he has continued defying the odds, living his life beyond expectations. Now he and his wife, Terry, need some help. Held at Newport’s Café Mundo, the fund-raiser will feature artwork and other items for sale, along with food, music and drinks available at the bar. Emcee Matt Love will get the party started, and Rodman will read from his work. Love will donate books to be sold at the fundraiser. “Andrew and I go way back and have collaborated on many, many projects over the years,” Love said “I want to help him any way I can. His contributions to the art and conservation
Andrew Rodman
scenes on the Oregon Coast have been numerous and incredibly important.” Rodman studied art in the land of Moby Dick — New Bedford’s Swain School of Design — before moving to Oregon in 1984. His pursuit of printmaking took a detour for 10 years, while he bent his performance art to the service
of environmental activism. Moving to Newport in 1994, he began his freelance career in earnest, working as a printmaker, teacher, illustrator and designing instructional DVDs, along with improving his surfing and sailing skills. In 2005, he began his tenure as editor-in-chief of In Good Tilth magazine, an educational effort of Oregon
Tilth, highlighting biologically aligned agriculture. The fund-raiser will run from 4 to 7 pm at Café Mundo, 209 NW Coast Street. The suggested donation is $5. After 7 pm, the action will shift around the corner to Nana’s Irish Pub for a post party where 15 percent of sales to be donated to the cause.
Picture perfect Children’s book author Barbara Herkert will lead a workshop on how to marry words and pictures to tell the perfect tale in Newport on Sunday, March 20. “Many of the tools the picture book biographer uses are the same elements of drama and suspense that fiction writers use,” Herkert said, “creating a hook at the beginning, portraying a likeable and competent — but flawed — protagonist with powerful motivation, presenting mounting obstacles, and incorporating a sense of‘the ticking clock.’” Entitled “Crafting a Life: The Tools of a Picture Book Biographer,” Herkert’s workshop will present examples of each of these tools of craft in picture book biographies past and present.
6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 18, 2016
Herkert will also discuss children’s literature and the market as a whole before concluding the workshop with a simple writing exercise. Herkert is the author of three books for children: “Birds in Your Backyard,” “Sewing Stories: Harriet Powers’Journey from Slave to Artist” and “Mary Cassatt: Extraordinary Impressionist Painter.” She received a biology degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a master’s degree in writing for children and young adults from Hamline University. She studied art and art history at Oregon State University and she has taught art appreciation at local schools. She lives in Newport with her family and spends creative time in a log house in Central Oregon.
The two-hour workshop, hosted by the Willamette Writers Coast Chapter, will begin at 2 pm at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Rites of spring I
t’s March. The wind’s howling, the rain’s flying sideways, and that can only mean one thing — it’s spring break. I’ve done my share of spring break stories. And mostly I enjoy them, though it can get mighty difficult after a few years to find something new. I’ve written about spring break in Seaside (of course), Lincoln City, Newport and Manzanita; about whale watching, kayaking, glass blowing and the simple beauty of beachcombing — among others. But recently I got to thinking about another rite of passage story I’d covered, one that also began in spring, and one which I, the daughter of a waitress and truck driver, could not have been any less qualified to write. It was debutante season and I, a features writer at the Rocky Mountain News, was drafted to cover it. That meant not only attending the ball later that year, but tagging along with 29 debutantes as they underwent the rituals that would eventually land them at the country club for their ball. I was not enthused.
I was, in fact, just a bit embarrassed. What did I know about that life? And, more importantly, how was I going to get along with a bunch of wealthy teenaged girls and their mothers? I had no idea. But like it or not, the story was mine. It was decided that I would meet with the young ladies and, after getting to know a few, pick one to follow. We started with a fashion show at a country club, where I encountered a mother I’ll just call Buffy. Buffy had a reputation for being a rich you-knowwhat, and I was wary of her from the start. But as it turned out, Buffy couldn’t have been nicer. We shared a few things in common, she said, and I was surprised to find we might actually be friends. Buffy did, of course, have a debutante daughter (one whose dress was rumored to cost close to $5,000) in the mix and she was certain that was the deb I would want to follow. Instead, I chose a southern girl, fairly new to the area, who responded to adults in her Demi Moorelike voice with a “Yes, m’am” or “Yes, sir,” and was quite pretty in a very natural way. You couldn’t not like the kid, who I’ll just call Belle. After the fashion show, I met with Belle at the bridal shop where the debs chose from pre-selected gowns grouped by price, all formal, all white and all with skirts that had to be at least 120 inches around to accommodate their curtsy. Belle chose a size four white duchess satin and tulle bridal gown, which was then registered so that no one else would appear at the ball in the same gown (gasp). In the following weeks, the debs attended

curtsy rehearsal, waltz lessons and etiquette class, often with me tagging along. The debs were to be presented outside on the lawn of yet another country club and every so often the subject of rain came up. Rain, we were told, was of no concern. It had never rained during the event before. It had rained before the event and after the event, but never during. One got the impression it wouldn’t dare. The day of the event finally arrived. That afternoon, it hailed marbles and I arrived at the country club under a sky colored charcoal. When the rain drops began in earnest, someone handed out Hefty bags, and there we sat, growing ever more sodden in our green plastic garb. Finally someone sane called a halt and we filed indoors to watch the remaining debs curtsy and receive their crowns. Afterward, as I talked with Belle’s mom, my new friend Buffy approached. Hand on my shoulder, she gave me a shove and, I swear this, hissed, “You’re in my kitchen now.” Apparently, my time for socializing on her turf had passed. My story ran the next day on the cover of the feature section. The local DJs were ruthless in their ridicule and Belle’s mother informed me that she had taken to bed ill after seeing I had quoted her as saying the gowns were too expensive. And that was my experience in the debutante world. I never did learn to curtsy, I’m still weak on etiquette and I certainly didn’t make any new friends. But all these years later, the memory still gives me a keen appreciation for the simple pleasure of writing about spring break on the Oregon Coast. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years. She lives in Newport, where she freelances for a number of regional and national publications.

IT’S NO FLUKE
Whale watching success comes down to patience and know-how
Pie Hard II Dessert fans will have a sequel to cheer about on Saturday, March 19, when the Pie Day-Night Celebration returns for a second year at the Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City. The fun evening event will see the center packed with an overwhelming display of pie mastery, with each of the sweet and savory miracles auctioned off to the highest bidder by emcee Dennis Love. And guests who develop an appetite from constantly raising and lowering their auction paddles will find satisfaction at the evening’s concluding All You Can Eat Pie Feast, offering a bevy of homemade, lovingly crafted pie, served with ice cream of course. Gluten-free and vegan pies will be available. In its inaugural year,
the pie auction attracted entries including Roberta Baker’s melt in your mouth cheesecake pie; Dawn Beyer’s chocolate avocado pie; a Dutch apple pie from Tori Schrock; and the Piecaken, an apple pie baked into a French vanilla cake from Michelle Mausen of My Petite Sweet. Coffee will also be on offer, along with wine and beer from Pelican Brewing. The event will run from 7 to 9 pm at 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive. Admission is by $10 donation, collected at the door. Proceeds will benefit Food Roots, the Neskowin Farmers Market, the Pacific City Food Pantry and the Pacific City Farmers Market. For more information about Food Roots, call 503-815-2800 or go to foodrootsnw.org.
With March weather on the Oregon Coast often swinging from lion to lamb and back again multiple times a day, visitors will be relieved to find that whale watching does not necessarily mean standing outside for hours on end. Spring Whale Watch Week, which runs from Saturday, March 19, to Saturday, March 26, sees volunteers stationed at 24 “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites along the coast, with several indoor options in addition to the al fresco sites. Whether indoors or out, anyone taking the time to look westward should spot some of the roughly 20,000 gray whales migrating northward from the breeding grounds on Mexico’s Baja coast to the summer feeding grounds in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. Volunteers will be on hand at each site from 10 am to
1 pm each day to answer questions and share tips. With whales tending to travel between one and three miles from the shore, watchers with a pair of binoculars or even just the naked eye stand
a great chance of seeing the telltale spouts — great plumes of water propelled up to 12 feet high as the leviathans surface to exhale. The Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center will again
serve as the hub for the week’s activities, with Oregon State Park rangers and volunteers welcoming visitors from 10 am to 4 pm each day. Meanwhile Cape Perpetua Visitor Center near Yachats has an indoor viewing gallery where spotters can stay warm and dry. More adventurous souls can set up in the rugged West Shelter, which offers breathtaking views of the ocean below, unobstructed by glass. Indoor whale spotting is also available at the Lookout Gift Shop on Cape Foulweather, the enclosed gazebo in Newport’s Don Davis Park, as well as from Fathoms Restaurant & Bar at the Inn at Spanish Head in Lincoln City — which has the distinction of being the only official whale-watching site where you can also get a martini. For more information, go to www.whalespoken.org.
Good book, great music Music inspired by passages from the Bible will be on offer in Lincoln City this Friday, March 18, in a Biblical Opera Gala at Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church. The program will feature excerpts from “Samson and Delilah” by Camille SaintSaëns and Claude Debussy’s lyric scene “The Prodigal Son.” Soloists will be Erik Hundtoft, a baritone and featured performer with Portland Opera; retired operatic tenor Robert Herman; local soprano Nancy McCall; and Valerie Kendall,
a contralto and director of the Kids Sing Out Performance Workshop. Paul Beard will accompany the program, and an ensemble of local singers will also participate. A combined effort of Chapel By The Sea and First Baptist Church, the Biblical Opera Gala is aimed at providing entertainment and spiritual enlightenment through music. The performance, which is free and open to the public, will start at 7 pm at 2125 SE Lee Street, Lincoln City. For more information, call 541-994-4317.

A SELECTION THAT'S Arts and crafts from 65 selected artists from throughout the Pacific Northwest will be featured at the 46th annual Yachats Original Arts & Crafts Fair this weekend. The works on offer will include everything from paintings and jewelry to recycled garden art and handcrafted toys. Among this year’s featured artists is Janette Square, an accomplished, internationally recognized intarsia artist who, after living in Eugene for 20 years now resides in Yachats. She began using wood as an artistic medium around 1999. All of her work is created by hand. She cuts individual pieces of wood on a scroll saw, taking into account the natural color and grain to create colorful and realistic pieces based on nature. Much of her work consists of animals, birds and landscapes, each piece with its own personality and character. Kevin Square, Janette’s husband, creates fractal art, based on a branch of mathematics that models the forms and textures of nature: organic shapes like clouds, trees and spiral forms to name a few. Using software specifically designed to work with fractals, he starts with a formula, turning any and all of its parameters. He then adds a coloring algorithm and tunes
its parameters. Shapes and textures begin to emerge. Andy Sewell is a full-time watercolor painter living in Viola, Idaho. He has painted in watercolor for more than 20 years and has recently started doing works in oil. Sewell says he loves to paint flowers and landscapes of the northwest and Pacific Coast, as well as fishing scenes, wildlife and rural farm and country scenes. Dorothy Steele studied advanced ceramics Oregon College of Arts and Crafts in Portland, where she developed a series of handbuilt ceramic containers and bowls that were juried into the Contemporary Crafts Museum and Gallery in Portland. She now works in her home in studio in Gresham and focuses on shapes and textures from ferns, leaves, rocks, and other natural objects. She presses these textures into slabs of porcelain, creating organic functional pots that come to life in glazes of brilliant greens, blues, reds and deep purple. Sponsored by the Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce, the craft fair will be open from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 19, and from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, March 20, at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. Admission is free. For more information, go to Yachats.org.

Newport welcomes stars for Country on the Coast debut It might not have the dusty roads and hot nights that have inspired country singers for generations, but Newport will have tunes to match the best of them on Saturday, March 18, when Country on the Coast comes to town. The fund-raising concert will feature intimate performances from country stars Deana Carter and Steve Azar, with proceeds benefiting renovation of the Newport Performing Arts Center. Multi-Grammy nominated Deana Carter boasts country music’s ultimate prize — her number-one hit “Strawberry Wine” won the prestigious CMA Song of the Year award and is a staple on country radio. Meanwhile, Steve Azar has his own mega hit to his credit with “I Don’t Have To Be Me Til Monday,” which is one of the top-five most played songs on country radio in the past decade. Carter, daughter of famed studio guitarist and producer Fred Carter, Jr., grew up exposed to musicians from Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan to Waylon Jennings and Simon & Garfunkel. Their strong influence would eventually seep into Carter’s own country-pop style, which reflects qualities that can also be heard in similar artists such as Mary Chapin Carpenter and Sheryl Crow. Developing her songwriting skills by trial and error at writers’ nights throughout Nashville, Carter eventually signed a writing deal with Polygram and soon after a record deal with Capitol Records. One of Carter’s demo tapes happened to fall into the hands of none other than Willie Nelson,
who remembered her as a child. Impressed with how she’d grown as a songwriter, Nelson asked Carter to perform along with John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson and Neil Young as the only female solo artist to appear at Farm Aid VII in 1994. Carter’s debut album, “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” boasts six songs that she co-wrote and co-produced, and was released to strong reviews in late summer 1996. By the end of the year, the record had climbed to the top of both the country and pop charts, quickly achieving multi platinum status — which it held for more than five years. Today, as she readies her latest bundle of uniquely crafted tunes for upcoming release on “Southern Way of Life,” Carter explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend. The songs weave through the sometimes-rocky terrain of adulthood, including loss of love, relationships on many different levels, trials, tribulations and, simply put, life. Instinctively autobiographical, the subject matter mimics the interesting ride of Carter’s own life — so far. Appearing alongside Carter is Steve Azar, a songwriter, recording artist and music producer who calls his signature mixture of country, rock and blues “Delta Soul.” His debut album “Waitin’ On Joe” was released in 2001 and saw the title track, which features narration by academy awardwinning actor Morgan Freeman, go to number one on Country Music Television.
Azar has written and recorded songs for film, too. “Doin’It Right” (Delta Mix) from his “Delta Soul Volume One,” was the feature track for Sony Pictures’2013 movie “Here Comes The Boom” starring Kevin James and Salma Hayek. In 2007, Bob Seger personally chose Azar to perform 46 shows on what Pollstar Magazine rated the number one tour in America. Azar has been honoured with “Steve Azar day” in the states of Mississippi and South Dakota. He is the co-founder of Ride Records Deana Carter and, in 2013, co-founded the Mighty Mississippi Music Festival, dubbed “A Southern Gem” by the American Blues Scene. With a strong interest in mentorship and giving back to the Delta, Azar enjoys being artist-in-residence at the Delta Music Institute, part of Delta State University. Friday’s concert, presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and Show Sherpas, will start at 8 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street. Tickets are $35 for general admission, $45 for premium seating and $25 for Lincoln County residents who show proof of address when booking. Tickets are available from the PAC box office, online at www. coastarts.org or by calling 541265-2787. Proceeds from the concert will go toward “Entertain the Future!” a $4.3-million capital campaign to enhance and expand the Newport Performing Arts Center. For more information, email OCCA Executive Director Catherine Rickbone at crickbone@coastarts.org. Steve Azar

in concert
Sounds promising Tickets are now on sale for a Lincoln City concert from Boise folk-rock duo Blaze & Kelly, with proceeds benefiting the local Family Promise program. The Saturday, March 26, gig will see the duo take to the stage at The Eventuary for an evening of hits including “Lena’s Lullaby,” “Mama” and many more. Together, singer-songwriter Niccole Blaze and bassist Mo Kelly combine compelling lyrics and angelic harmonies for songs that audiences say “open your heart and tear it apart at the same time.” There’s no doubt these two laughter-loving women can sing. Blaze’s powerful lead vocals blend perfectly with Kelly’s sweet tone. But what makes them true artists is their ability to create emotion. To Blaze and Kelly, it’s not money, fame or precision that creates happiness, but genuine human connection. Their songs range from the serious to the hilarious. But no matter what words have flowed from Blaze’s pen, each song resonates with beautiful human emotions. From the love of a child in “Lena’s
Lullaby,” to the recognition we’ve out-waisted our clothes in “Fat Pants,” the listener has no choice but to feel connected to the music. Doors for the March 26 concert open at 6 pm, with music at 7 pm, 560 SW Fleet Avenue, Lincoln City Admission is $30, which includes appetizers.
Proceeds will help Family Promise of Lincoln County in its mission to provide shelter, meals and comprehensive assistance to local homeless and low-income families with children. Tickets are available by calling Family Promise at 541-614-0964 or the Eventuary at 541-992-5628.
Playing for the pantry Music both old and new will be on offer in Lincoln City this Saturday, March 19, when the Oregon Coast Recorder Society performs a food pantry fun-raiser concert at St. Peter the Fisherman Lutheran Church. Saturday’s program will include a motet, “Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden” by J. S. Bach, a lullaby and cakewalk by 20th-Century composer Hildegarde Erle, a pair of tunes by early Irish composer Turlough O’Carolan, a Shaker song and two tangos, one of them created by the group just for this concert. Lost in Time, a trio drawn from the group, will play a medieval piece and two movements from a suite by contemporary recorder player and composer Dennis Bamforth. Recorder society musicians are known for the variety of instruments they play. In this
18 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 18, 2016
performance, besides several sizes of recorder, members will play cello, viola da gamba, guitar, gemshorns and — for the tangos — accordion. The audience will have an opportunity after the concert to talk with players and take a closer look at their instruments. Donations of nonperishable food items, checks or cash are accepted as admission. All proceeds will go to the Lincoln City Food Pantry. The concert will begin at 2 pm at the church, located at 1226 SW 13th Street, with frontage on Highway 101. The Oregon Coast Recorder Society rehearses every week and is open to recorder players or other musicians interested in early music. For more information, call 541-9611228 or go to www.coastrecorder.org.
Aquarium of fers immersion learning The Oregon Coast Aquarium is offering teens a chance to tread in the footsteps of famous wildlife ambassadors this summer. Just like Jack Hanna, Jeff Corwin or the late, great Steve Irwin, these teenagers will embark on a journey of discovery, for themselves and some of the 400,000 people that visit the aquarium each year. The aquarium is currently recruiting future youth volunteers for a sixweekend crash course on the coastal and marine sciences of Oregon. After
completing the course, participants will go on to share what they learned with the aquarium’s visitors. The experience is not all work and no play. Youth volunteers also enjoy outdoor adventures, like whale watching expeditions, and practice key marine science skills, such as putting on survival suits. “I think the summer-time social network this provides the kids keeps them coming back every year,” said Teresa Mealy, the aquarium’s youth
programs coordinator. Many youth volunteers continue their service throughout the school year. They team up with aquarium staff to develop their own ocean advocacy projects to teach their peers and aquarium visitors about marine conservation. To complete an application to join the aquarium’s volunteer teams, go to aquarium.org or contact the aquarium’s Volunteer Services department at volunteer@aquarium.org.
A little frenzy competition The Devils Lake Family Fishing Frenzy will return to Lincoln City’s Regatta Park on Saturday, March 19, kicking off the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s statewide series of free family fishing events. The event will see 2,000 legal-sized rainbow trout stocked in a small pen at Regatta Park, with ODFW
staff and volunteers on hand to provide fishing poles, tackle, bait and training. The fishing fun will run from 9 am and 2 pm at the park, located just off NE West Devils Lake Road. Kids under 12 do not need a license, but those 12 and older will. Licenses will not be available onsite but can be purchased at various locations including BiMart.
An early-moming Little treasure hunters can test their chocolate detection skills in a fun environment this Saturday, March 19, at the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s first ever Easter Egg Hunt by the Sea. Before doors open to the public, kids up to 13 years of age can search for eggs throughout the aquarium grounds, including the popular Open Sea and Secrets of Shipwrecks exhibits. Presented by the aquarium in partnership with Mo’s Restaurants,
the hunt will run from 8 to 9:30 am, with kids separated into three age groups for maximum hunting advantage: under 4s, 5 to 9 years old, and 10 to 13 years old. All participants will receive a photo with the Easter Bunny, a complimentary boxed breakfast and a Mo’s sand bucket for collecting eggs. The event costs $15 per child for the Easter Egg Hunt only, or $20 for the hunt plus day admission to the aquarium. Accompanying guardians get in free during the hunt
and can purchase a discounted $10 day admission to the aquarium. Proceeds will go toward the Homeless Education and Literacy Project or HELP, a program of Lincoln County School District designed to help homeless students overcome barriers to school attendance and academic success. Egg hunters should sign up early at http://bit.ly/EggHuntl6. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport.

How to feed your veggies As the spring planting season inches closer, the Lincoln County Master Gardeners are offering a double dose of help at their Thursday, March 24, round table — covering facts on fertilizers and a primer on producing potatoes and onions. Master Gardeners Sally Reill and Claudette Schroeder will be on hand to cover questions and offer suggestions about best fertilizing practices for growing vegetables at the Oregon Coast, with the aim of making the complicated topic simple and useful for home gardeners. And because potatoes and onions are two of the earliest crops to be planted in the spring, the duo will also discuss how to select, plant, nurture, harvest and store these fun and
easy-to-grow staples. The program promises guidelines, tips and helpful handouts for potato and onion success. The Master Gardeners will have seed potatoes available for sale at cost at the end of the program. The round table will run from 10 am to noon in the lower meeting room of the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Admission is free, but participants should RSVP by calling the OSU Extension Office at 541-574-6534 to ensure there are enough handouts. The Master Gardener Help Desk also offers advice for people with gardening questions at the OSU Extension office, 1211 SE Bay Blvd., Newport, a quarter mile east of the Embarcadero.
BEAK-COME AN EXPER WITH A LITTLE HELP A pile of fun Tips for getting great compost will be on offer in Nehalem on Friday, March 25, when a pair of university experts come to town to stir things up. Dan Sullivan of Oregon State University and Andy Bary ofWashington State University will show how to make a compost pile using readily available materials and have it hot and rapidly decomposing within a week.
The workshop is targeted at farmers but the concepts are the same for the home gardener making compost. In the indoor morning session at the North County Recreation District, 36155 9th Street, participants will learn about compost recipe development, compost area siting and design, and how to handle different materials. In the afternoon, the action will shift outdoors to a nearby
farm, where students will tackle hands-on activities — evaluating compost materials and compost piles, monitoring temperatures and testing for pH and EC and compost maturity. The class will run from 10 am to 4:30 pm and students should bring a sack lunch. Tuition is $30 per person To register, contact Emily Vollmer at vollmer.emilyi® gmail.com or 541-908-3829.

One of the unsung heroes of the New Deal will be the focus of a Tuesday, March 22, presentation in Newport, marking Women’s History Month. The Central Oregon Coast Chapter of the National Organization for Women will welcome former college instructor John Aylmer will discuss Frances Perkins, who served as secretary of labor under President Franklin Roosevelt. Perkins was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet position and left a strong legacy. The infamous Shirt Waist Factory Fire in 1911 impressed upon her the need for worker protections. Her work on behalf of child labor laws, minimum wage, unemployment benefits, overtime pay and the 40-hour work week are effective today. She had an influential role in the New Deal’s Civilian Conservation Corps and Public Works Administration programs and the creation of Social Security. Aylmer is a former instructor of political science at Wenatchee Valley College. The talk, which is free and open to all, will start at 6 pm at the Central Lincoln PUD meeting room, 2129 S. Coast Highway. For more information, email centraloregoncoastnow@gmail.com.
