learn a little

A truly Amazon story Celebrated lesbian author Lee Lynch will lead a discussion of her book “The American Queer: The Amazon Trail” in Newport at the Tuesday, March 24. The event, hosted by the Central Oregon Coast Chapter of the National Organization for Women, ties in with this year’s theme for Women’s History Month — “Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives.” “The American Queer” is a collection of Lynch’s syndicated columns, which chronicle more than 25 years of her life as a lesbian. The

column, “The Amazon Trail,” has been running since 1986. Lynch is the recipient of numerous awards, among them the 2009 Golden Crown Literary Society Trailblazer Award for lifetime achievement, recognizing the contributions she has made to the ﬁeld of lesbian literature. The discussion will begin at 6 pm, at the Central Lincoln PUD Meeting Room, 2129 North Coast Highway. All are welcome. For more information, email centraloregoncoastnow@ gmail.com or go to www. centraloregoncoastnow.com.

Tales from the trail The challenges and rewards of trekking the Paciﬁc Crest Trail are the topic of a presentation set for Sunday, March 22, at Atonement Lutheran Church in Newport as a pair of former Oregon Coast residents share their wild tale. David and Gretchen Brauer-Rieke will share the story of their summer adventure that saw them walk almost 425 miles over nearly 40 days, all the way from the California border to the Bridge of the Gods. Dave is the Lutheran Bishop of Oregon and was previously the pastor at Atonement, while his wife, Gretchen, is a nurse-midwife

and frequent speaker on endof-life issues. The couple will discuss their preparations and show some of the gear and foodstuff they used on the trip. They will engage all in their journey, sharing slides and stories about the adventure that saw them sometimes drenched by thunderstorms, other times choking on the dust of nearby forest fires, often suffering through misery and fatigue but discovering inner strength and learning a great deal about themselves and the world along the way. The talk, which is free and open to all, will start at 1:30 pm at the church, 2315 North Coast Highway.

Start planning a root Potatoes and onions are the ideal first step for anyone starting to grow their own food at the coast — thriving so well in the cool, wet climate that “volunteers” often spring up where no-one has any recollection of planting a thing. These enthusiastic plants are the subject of the upcoming round table discussion from the Lincoln County Master Gardeners, scheduled for Thursday, March 26, in Newport Master Gardeners Claudette Schroder and Sally Reill will team up to talk about selecting, planting, growing, fertilizing, harvesting and storing of the numerous tasty varieties of onions and potatoes. “Onions and potatoes are a staple in the pantry and can be easily grown in our coastal climate,” Reill said. The discussion will cover step-by-step instructions and provide useful handouts, helpful tips and important things to know for crop success. While the focus of this round table is potatoes and onions, questions about all vegetables are welcome. Participants will be encouraged to expand their garden palate by growing scallions, leeks and shallots, as well as red or yellow potatoes, big lunker spuds or diminutive fingerlings. Seed potatoes and onion starts are available now in garden and feed stores. A few varieties will be for sale, at cost, at the end of the program. The round table will run from 10 am to noon at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. The event is free but guests should call the OSU Extension Office at 541-574-6534, ext. 57410, to ensure adequate seating and materials. A list of future round table topics, dates and times is available at oregonstate.edu/lincoln/ master_gardeners or by calling the Extension office.

State your identity

As a land of vivid and sometimes contradictory stories, Oregon can be as mystifying as it is alluring. But history writer Richard Etulain will try to capture its essence in “A State of Change: Oregon’s Evolving Identities” in Newport on Saturday, March 21. “What is an Oregonian?” he asked. “Our state and its citizens have many identities, including an Eden of freedom and verdancy, a laboratory of democracy and a land of logging. How might diverse interpretations

of Oregon help us better understand the past, present and future of our state?” Etulain is professor emeritus of history at the University of New Mexico, where he taught American history and cultures as well as directing its Center for the American West. He has also taught at Northwest Nazarene University and Idaho State University and holds a doctorate in American history and literature from the University of Oregon. The free presentation, hosted by the

League of Women Voters of Lincoln County and sponsored by Oregon Humanities, will start at 2 pm in the community room at Oregon Coast Community College, 400 SE College Way, Newport. For more information about the discussion, contact M. Podesta at 541765-4422 or emmyrumsey@cablespeed. com. For more information about Oregon Humanities, go to oregonhumanities.org.

Memories that spring to mind I

’ve been noticing a lot of Idaho, Washington and California license plates these days, the coastal cue that it is once again Spring Break. Not to date myself, but back in the day we didn’t have Spring Break in Pennsylvania. Or at least no one told me about it. We had Easter. We didn’t run off to Mexico; we didn’t even go to the shore. We went to Sunrise Service, we went on Easter egg hunts, we went to dinner — usually in my parents’ dining room accompanied by a dozen or so family members. We didn’t wear thongs, we wore patent leather shoes and lacy dresses and maybe a hat and gloves. And no, wet T-shirt contests were not featured in the entertainment, though that surely would have livened things up a bit. Spring Break didn’t really become a concept to me until I enrolled in classes at the University of Alaska, and then spring break was just that — a break from the books. And while a few students might have run off to Hawaii, I was lucky to be able to afford a round-trip ticket on the public bus system. And then of course, suddenly it seemed everyone was taking Spring Break and I couldn’t help wondering what had I missed? How did the teenage me not know that it was a rite of passage to spend one week in spring in some hot tropical place? I mean, Florida was a reasonable drive. I could have so been there. I did once have the misfortune of inadvertently ending up in Cabo during Spring Break. I must confess that girls in bikinis downing industrial strength punch then flinging themselves round and round a stake stuck in the sand before letting go and doing a face plant, was definitely lost on me. Here on the coast, Spring Break has long been part of our seasonal cycle, almost a holiday in its own right — regardless of when Easter falls. Seaside likes to claim itself as the first Spring Break destination, though there was a period when that title came with much regret. Riots, like those in 1999, will do that. (If you missed that year, search the subject on YouTube.) So this year, I decided to do some research. Where did it all come from? When did it begin? Turns out, I was so late to the party, I really did miss it. Here’s what I gathered from a March 2014 article in New York Magazine: Spring Break got its start in Fort Lauderdale in 1935 — 1935! — my own mother was still

The author, at right, enjoying a wild Spring Break with cousin Vasha; Vasha’s son, Billy; and sister Penny

in kindergarten — when a swim coach took his team there to train, sparking an annual conference. It got a real bump when an English professor tagged along to Fort Lauderdale with some students and wrote a book, “Where the Boys Are,” which then became a movie and song. And here’s the thing, I know that movie. I can sing that song. And yet, there I was clueless. From there it was thongs and wet T-shirt contests and in 1986, MTV’s Spring Break, which I missed because I was stuck in Juneau with a borrowed TV and no cable. Some other cultural moments we can credit to Spring Break: the first time the term “woody” was used on TV (thanks again, MTV ), and the first flavored condom — called Kiss of Mint, no less. While I haven’t partaken in many Spring Breaks myself, I have written about it a number of times. I wrote about Seaside, luckily riot-free these days, and the place to go for bumper cars and arcade games; and Lincoln City, where glass blowing is big, and of course, my hometown of

Newport, currently celebrating the arrival of new sea lion docks at Bachelor Row. And once, I wrote about one of favorite coastal towns — Manzanita. The local business people loved it. Everyone else, it seemed, wanted to put a hit out on my head. How dare I share word of a beautiful place so that others might also enjoy it? One man wrote, repeatedly, to ask who paid me to write it. As in, not my employer, but what business owner had bought me? Another woman, apparently an avid visitor to the village during Spring Break herself, called and left me a message that ended: ‘You must be dumber than hell.’ No, I thought to reply, just smart enough to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, which means I get to stay home for Spring Break. As always. 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, as well as the occasional post for her blog loritobias.com.

find out how to have a good vacation, something’s wrong with you.” Topping any list for a vacation in Lincoln City is Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop, which Dan runs together with wife and chief baker Kathy Draper. Voted best bakery in Lincoln County from 2009 to 2013, the shop offers its own list of delectable treats — from Maple Cinnamon Rolls and Pirate Eyes (small tarts filled with jam) to an impressive array of turnovers, cookies, pie, muffin tops and macaroons. Equally impressive is Dan’s prowess as an agony

uncle, which he puts to work tackling Spring Break problems in this latest edition of Ask a Pirate. Dear Cap’n Dan, We are driving for 10 hours with a four year old and a six year old to get to the beach for Spring Break. How can I keep them occupied on the journey? Don’t Overestimate Our Mental Energy, Delaware Dear DOOMED, Easy. Every two hours, you make them change a tire. Every four year old should know how to change a tire in case they want to take the car out when they are six. Dear Cap’n Dan, We have a family reunion at Spring Break each year and we always go out for dinner. How can I ﬁnally get my relatives to pay their share of the bill? Do U Take Credit, Houston Dear DUTCH, Take a pointy sword. It works for me every time — particularly when it comes to the tip. Dear Cap’n Dan, My family all have strong opinions and we always end up ﬁghting at Spring Break. How can I ensure harmony this year? Some Children Really Aggravate Pressure Points, Yuma

Captain Dan ponders a top 10 list • TODAY photo

Dear SCRAPPY, Sell tickets. You won’t get harmony but at least you will get some money. You will be the big event at the coast and you can come and spend all the proceeds on pastries. I’ll

even throw in some raw steak to take care of any black eyes. Dear Cap’n Dan, I’m thinking about ditching my family and taking off for a quiet week at the beach this Spring Break. Does this make me a bad person? My Ego Means Everything, Maine Dear ME, ME, ME, I think people should have a lot of ‘me time’ at Spring Break. In fact, I think Spring Break should promote narcissism. Don’t walk on the beach, go to a shop that has a lot of mirrors. But I draw the line at selfies; especially people who use selfie sticks. We need to accept that some people just look better from afar. I think selfie sticks should come with extensions, long extensions in some cases. Dear Cap’n Dan, My teenage daughter wants to skip family vacation this Spring Break to party in Cabo. How can I persuade her to stay? We Outright Refuse Release, Yachats Dear WORRY, Why would you want to? If you want a fun vacation, let her go. If you’re worried about how she’ll find her way home, leave a trail of breadcrumbs. I use it all the time — me and 50 seagulls making our way along the Central Oregon Coast. Dear Cap’n Dan, We are determined to find one of Lincoln City’s famous glass floats this Spring Break.

What tips do you have for a successful day of scouring the beach? Beach Lovers On Week Of Nostalgia, Edmonton Dear BLOW ONE, Look down — and tread lightly. We tell visitors that if they find a float, they should bring it here to the pastry shop — and for a small fee, they can have it back. I found a float once when my dog stopped to answer a call of nature on the beach. It was a real shock. When I first looked down, I thought he had gotten in to my stash of bubblegum. Dear Cap’n Dan, My kids want to go to Disneyland this Spring Break but my wife wants a romantic break at a ski lodge. How can I keep everyone happy? Darling, I Love Every Mountainside Moment, Albany

Dear DILEMMA, Well, you don’t wasn’t to go to Disneyland because of the measles; and you don’t want to go to a ski lodge because there’s no snow. So… I suppose I’ve just managed to make everyone miserable. Never mind; you can always cheer yourself up with a Shipwreck Turnover — probably the only baked good on the seven seas that combines apples, cream cheese and caramel with the sweet bounty of bacon. There’s nothing better when it comes to casting your worries out to sea. Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop is located at 5070 SE Hwy. 101 in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Opening hours are from 9 am to 4 pm every day except Tuesday. To reach them, call 541-996-4600.

Funk with a salt-water twist will be on oﬀer on the Central Coast this week as touring band ZuhG take to the stage with a show that combines elements of jazz, reggae and rock. And while most of the band hail from Sacramento, founder and lead signer Bryan Nichols lives right here on the Oregon Coast — an area he says has been a huge inﬂuence on his work. “It’s been a dream of mine to always live at the beach,” he said. “I’ve been writing songs about it since long before I moved here.” And, as the cover of the band’s latest album, “Field Trip,” suggests, Oregon’s surf scene has made quite an impression on Nichols since his move north. “I’ve really fallen in love with the ocean all over,” he said. “It’s surprising how many good waves there are. I try to surf every day that I can.” This week will see Nichols reunited with his fellow band members as ZuhG embarks on a three-week West Coast tour that includes Oregon Coast gigs in Lincoln City and Manzanita. “Field Trip” is the sixth

album for ZuhG, which started in 2007 in Sacramento. Nichols is the sole original member, leading a lineup that has been together for just over a year and now includes a three-member horn section. Together, the group blasts out an eclectic mix of everything from instrumental funk to reggae and even one number that is more than just a little bit country. While the Oregon Coast music scene is smaller than Nichols was used to in Sacramento, he said coastal music lovers are a great audience. “People really appreciate music here,” he said. “They’re really friendly and the tip jar always seems to be full.”

Catch ZuhG live at 9 pm on Thursday, March 26, at the Nauti Mermaid, 1343 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City, with free admission. The band will also play at Manzanita Lighthouse Pub & Grub, 36480 Hwy. 101, Nehalem at 9 pm on Saturday, March 28, with a $5 cover charge.

In the Mood for comedy? On Friday, March 27, Eugene ensemble Mood Area 52 will present a live soundtrack to the Buster Keaton comedy “Our Hospitality” at Café Mundo in Newport. The group has performed live original film scores for such classics as “Nosferatu,” “The Triplets of Bellville,” “Sunset Boulevard,” “The Voyage to the Moon” and a wide range of Buster Keaton shorts. This is their first feature-length Keaton film. The soundtrack mines ragtime traditional music

from the turn of the century as well as tapping into Mood Area 52’s repertoire. Billy Barnett selected material including, works by Reverend Gary Davis, John Fahey and Leo Kotke. This event will feature Billy Barnett on acoustic guitar, Amy Danziger on cello, Jeremiah Harris on upright bass, Tony Figoli on drums and Michael Roderick on accordion, plectrum banjo and cornet. The performance will run from 8 to 11 pm at Café Mundo, 209 NW Coast Street.

George Gershwin, entitled “At the Piano with Gershwin,” will feature several of the influential pianist and composer’s works, including the everthrilling and innovative “Rhapsody in Blue.” Inspired by the rhythmic motion of a train, Gershwin composed the piece in a little over a month to meet a concert deadline in 1924. Tutunov began his career in Russia, where he is still recognized as one of the most outstanding virtuosos of the former Soviet Union. In constant demand in concert halls around the world, he also prepares award-winning students as professor and artist-in-residence at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. His extensive repertoire includes sonatas, concertos, rhapsodies and symphonies by at least 21 well-known classical composers. As well as enjoying the music, guests can bid on a silent auction items and gift certificates from Central Oregon, Astoria, Portland,

Dundee, Sisters and Ashland. The award-winning Taft High Culinary Club will prepare hors d’oeuvres and Susan Wahlke will be on hand to serve wine at $5 per glass. All proceeds from the event will go toward the next concert season, which will feature returning artists including Tutunov, fellow pianist Cary Lewis, The Amelia Piano Trio,

Kris Klavik’s Wind Trio and violinist Aaron Meyer, as well as new faces such as baritone Anton Belov, violist Patricia McCarty and pianist Michael Allen Harrison. Saturday’s concert will begin at 4 pm in the oceanview home of Dick and Laurel Young in Depoe Bay. Tickets are $25 per person. To make reservations and receive directions, call 541765-2474 or 541-765-7770.

summer resident gray whales. “There are about 18 to 20,000 Eastern Pacific gray whales,” said Oregon State Park Ranger Evan Sobel. “The As denizens of the deep, whales can appear a bit vast majority spend summers feeding in the Arctic, but we standoffish. Whale watchers hope to get glimpses of them have about 200 grays that stay in the area throughout the as they glide by on their migration routes, barely pausing spring, summer and fall.” for a ‘how do you do.’ The official Spring Whale Watching Week, this year That might be true in some areas like the Monterey from March 21 to 28, takes place during the peak times of Peninsula, through which mothers rush their the spring migration, but also kicks off the arrival young, hoping not to be spotted by the of the summer residents. hoodlum killer whale pods with “They usually arrive later during malice on their minds.

operator of Whale Research EcoExcursions, one of several whale-watching tour companies based in Depoe Bay, has published “A Guide to Summer Resident Gray Whales along the Oregon Coast,” which gives the names, history and identifying characteristics of more than 70 whales. Newell’s trips are enhanced by her dog, Kida, who comes along on the inflatable Zodiac boats. Going on 13 years as Newell’s second mate, Kida helps find whales; barking when they come near — well before the humans have spotted anything. A respected scientist, Newell identified the connection between the summer residents and the food source that sustains them while they are here; the mysid shrimp abundant in the kelp beds. She has also spent considerable time observing the summer resident population and is the person who actually named most of them. One of her favorites is the aptly named Lucky. “We saw him for the first time when he was a calf,” Newell said. “He was alone, with tooth rakes down his tail and on his sides from an Orca attack.” Mom most likely was killed in the attack, saving the life of her calf. Lucky hung around all summer and then migrated in the winter. “When we saw him the next year, he had more tooth scars on his tail,” Newell said. His brushes with death seem to given him a certain joy for life, because he is known as one of the more friendly grays, and made the highest breach out of the water that Newell has ever seen. Topping the list for easy identification is Scarback, who has bright orange whale lice feeding on the dead tissue from two large wounds on her body. In the mid 1980s, she was hit by an exploding harpoon that went all the way through her, leaving entrance and exit wounds that have never healed. The whale lice keep the wounds clean and free of infection. “She’s been sighted with several calves,” Newell said. “So she’s doing really well, especially considering what’s she’s Continued on page 17

been through.â&#x20AC;? Rambolina is another gray that can be identified by a scar. Originally named Rambo until â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;? was seen with a calf, Rambolina survived a boat encounter that left her with 10 cuts on her left side. The calf that turned â&#x20AC;&#x153;dadâ&#x20AC;? into â&#x20AC;&#x153;momâ&#x20AC;? is named Hoot because of an owl shaped coloring on its dorsal fin. Whales can also be identified by their behavior, like Comet, a favorite of Patricia Koonce from the Whale, Sealife and Shark Museum in Depoe Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She starts to blow before she breaks the surface,â&#x20AC;? Koonce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you just see this bubbling on the surface before she breaches. She also flukes up more than the others and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very friendly; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll usually come up to the boat when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re near her.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always possible to go on a boat tour; luckily dining keeps the whales close to shore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are here to feed,â&#x20AC;? Sobel the park ranger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They eat about 2,500 pounds of mysids a day. Here at the Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center we can see whales closely enough to recognize them, especially with binoculars.â&#x20AC;? Gray whales arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only species of whale spotted off the Oregon coast either, with Sobel saying sharp eyed watchers

can also see humpback whales breaching from shore. There are sperm whales passing through, too, he said, but because they feed on squid they are usually much farther out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sperm whales have a blowhole on the left side of their head and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angled forward, so it blows at about a 45-degree angle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last summer we had a group of three blues come through. The blow is pretty hard to miss; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very tall and columnar, about 40 feet high, compared to about six to 12 feet for the grays. Right away you know you are looking at something much, much, bigger.â&#x20AC;? Gray whales remain the focus of Spring Whale Watching Week, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may wander around a bit,â&#x20AC;? Sobel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But generally we will see them feeding for hours, right out front.â&#x20AC;? The Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center is located right in the center of Depoe Bay, with the whale museum slightly to the south and across the highway.

The trick to Spring Break… ..is having something fun to do — like Lincoln City’s Festival of Illusions Not since the last Harry Potter movie has such an impressive collection of wand-wielding individuals descended upon an old school. And while the Lincoln City Cultural Center is a bit light on mythical creatures (unless you count the beaver that got stuck in the window well a few years back) it is more than a match for Hogwarts when it comes to levitation, mind-reading and even the occasional bout of headshrinking. All these and much more will be on oﬀer when the fourth annual Festival of Illusions gets underway on Monday, March 23, signaling the start of full week of magic shows, fun day camps and kids’ art workshops. During the day, Regina Wollrabe, aka Cha Cha the Clown, will teach circus

skills and tricks at Magic Camps designed for kids aged 8 to 18. Meanwhile the Abra Cadabra Open Art Space will oﬀer drop in, magic-themed fun for kids of all ages. See sidebar for details. The evening performances will open on Monday, March 23, with a show from Seattle magician and mentalist Joe Black. Black, who won the GigMasters Rising Star Award for illusionists two years running, presents an act that is appropriate for older children and adults. Up next on Tuesday, March 24, is Henrik Bothe, a native of Denmark who grew up idolizing the magicians he saw on the Ed Sullivan Show. One of the best plate spinners in the world, as well as one of the funniest physical comedians on the circuit,

Bothe went on to make his own mark on late night TV with an appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. Meanwhile, an appearance on “A Prairie Home Companion” led host Garrison Keillor to praise Bothe as one of the few jugglers that have made their performance work on the radio. On Wednesday, March 25, the impressive lineup will continue with one of the least-impressively named magicians ever to take the stage. “Steve the Pretty Good,” aka: Steve Hamilton has honed his skills by performing around the world — from Shanghai to Indiana — for the past 20 years. Aside from his evident modesty, Hamilton is known for his spontaneous humor and original routines,

transforming the audience into his magical assistants as he performs his take on classic tricks like levitation and sawing people in half. Jeﬀ Evans the Entertainer will return to the festival on Thursday, March 26, with an all-ages show featuring acts ranging from “Sparky the Trained Chicken” to his “ridiculously dangerous” escape from ropes, chains and padlocks. The festival will come to a close on Friday, March 27, with a rousing performance of Louie Foxx’s One Man Side Show. As a kid, Foxx realized that he excelled at all of the things that adults told him were a waste of time. He started performing street corner magic while he was still in high school and has been improving his act ever since. Today, he’s known for his artistry with the

bullwhip and the lasso, as well as his ability to shrink his own head. Evening performances begin at 7 pm, with doors open at 6:30 pm. Each show has two sets with an intermission; and sweet treats, sodas, nuts, beer

and wine are sold inside. Advance tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids aged 5 to 18, and free for kids 4 and younger. Tickets are available at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org or by calling 541-994-9994.

Steve the Pretty Good

Start clowning around Cha Cha the Clown’s Magic Camps will run from 9 to 11 am daily from Monday, March 23, through Friday, March 27. Cha Cha will help young performers improve their skills in juggling, circus-style tricks, makeup, costumes, props and more. The camps are open to kids aged 8 to 18 and their parents, grandparents and guardians. The price is $18 per day, and includes all props and instruction. Kids can also sign up for the entire week for the discounted price of $80. Pre-registration is recommended, although drop-ins will be accepted if space is available. To register or learn more, call 541-994-9994. Cha Cha and her assistant, Laura Green the Juggling Queen, are planning a DIY Magic Show after the last camp, at 11 am on Friday, March 27. Participation is free to any magic camp student and admission is free as well. Also on offer during this year’s festival is the Abra Cadabra Open Art Space, led by arts educator Krista Eddy and a slew of cultural center volunteers. The workshop will take over the center’s conference room for drop-in fun from 1 to 4 pm daily. Some projects will be guided — like making magic wands, magician’s hats and floating butterflies — while other tables will be “free art” zones, with paper, markers, paints, fabric, notions and the like. The entrance fee is $5. Children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult. For details, contact Sam Randall or Krista Eddy at 541-994-9994.

Making conversation in Newport Portland poet and memoirist Judith Barrington will give the first reading from her poetry collection “The Conversation” at the Saturday, March 21, meeting of Writers on the Edge in Newport The title poem of the book won the 2013 Gregory O’Donoghue International Poetry Prize, with renowned poet and contest judge Thomas McCarthy praising it as “a brilliant technical achievement.” “It reminds us all that great poetry is both fine thinking and achieved style,” he said. Barrington’s other poetry books are “Horses and the Human Soul,” “History and Geography” and “Trying to be an Honest Woman.” Her memoir, “Lifesaving,” won the Lambda Book Award and was a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir. The Oregon State Library selected “Horses and the Human Soul” as one of “150 Books for the Sesquicentennial” a collection of books for children, teens and adults that describe the Oregon experience.

Barrington grew up in England, spent three years in Spain and has lived in Oregon since 1976. Her text on writing literary memoir is used all across the U.S. and in Europe and Australia. Her talk will begin at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, followed by an open mic for writers. General admission is $6 but students are admitted free.

Oregon wins seal of approval Californians have been relocating to Oregon for just about as long as anyone can remember; but when the transplants boast big, round eyes, nimble ﬂippers and a bubbly disposition, people start paying a little more attention. The three new seals at Newport’s Oregon Coast Aquarium have all these characteristics and more. Miller, Tater and Elvis, who recently arrived from the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, have been brought in to add

Tater makes the acquaintance of Swap

some youthful energy to the aquarium’s existing population, the oldest of which is turning 40 this year. At 19, 20 and 21 years old, the new additions are hardly spring chickens for their species; but compared to the aquarium’s other seals, they are quite spry. And, just as Californian humans often have to be given pointers on the correct pronunciation of words like Willamette and Yachats, the trio are working with trainers to get up to speed

on the local vernacular. “We started by working through behaviors they already knew, while slowly transitioning them over to our hand signals,” said Ken Lytwyn, curator of marine mammals. “They are fast learners, and we are already starting to work on entirely new behaviors, like swimming with trainers and voluntary blood draws.” The trio’s blonde, spotted fur sets them apart from the ﬁve black and

silver female harbor seals that were already on exhibit. Visitors should be able to spot them during their next visit, especially if they check the underwater windows, where harbor seals often stare at visitors face to face, and sometimes even follow a waving hand with their nose. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road. For more information, go to www. aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

A fond farewell to feathered friends

Just as people from all over the world are planning their trips to the Oregon Coast, thousands of birds who have been here all winter are about to quite literally take off and head north. A Sunday, March 22, birding field trip organized by Yaquina Birders & Naturalists will give people the chance to grab one last look at species including grebes, loons and a variety of sea ducks including scoters before they migrate to their northerly breeding grounds. Roy Lowe will lead the trip, which will start at Alsea Bay and then travel east to the 50-acre Eckman Lake, which harbors hundreds of ducks including Bufflehead, Northern Pintail, American Wigeon, Green-winged Teal and Mallard. The two-hour trip is free and all are welcome. Participants should dress for variable weather and meet at 1 pm in the parking lot of the Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretative Center at 620 NW Spring Street, near the southwest corner of the Alsea Bay Bridge. For more information, call 541-9611307.

It’s not every weed-pulling workday that ends with a demonstration of the modernday equivalent of a siege catapult — but the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council will be taking no prisoners when they take to the field on Saturday, March 21. After pulling invasive Scotch Broom from the marshlands at Tamara Quays and Pixieland just north of Lincoln City, volunteers will get to watch local high school students pepper the area with potshots from seedscattering trebuchets. The advanced engineering students from Taft High 7-12 will use their mighty catapults to seed bomb one of the watershed council’s newest restoration sites at Boat Basin. The team will launch soil mixed with Tufted Hair Grass seed into the newly restored tidal marsh to protect the area from encroachment by
