Theatre West’s poster promoting the world premier of “The Pearl”

egular readers have come to expect that page 2 is the place to come for weekly doses of a certain towheaded scamp, smiling mischievously from the newsprint. It takes a lot to dislodge assistant editor Quinn from his spot — but recognition of a world premier on the Oregon Coast is enough for me to send him packing Lincoln City’s Theatre West has received such recognition from Samuel French, which has just published the script for “Foolish Fishgirls and the Pearl” by Barbara Pease Weber. The mermaid-themed comedy made its ﬁrst splash in Lincoln City, with a world premier performance at Theatre West in

from the editor 2012 under the working title “The Pearl.” Pease Weber had been so impressed by Theatre West’s productions of her previous works that she chose the venue to unveil her new piece, looking at what happens after “happily ever after.” The tale introduced audiences to Marina, Coral and Oceana, a trio of former mermaids who are ﬂat broke and just a tad bitter that their lives did not pan out the way they had dreamed when they rescued their handsome young sailors 30 years ago. After hearing of a nearby rescue involving a young mermaid, the three rush to warn the innocent siren about “the perils of falling in love with mortal men who abscond with your gems, leaving you penniless with a

broken heart and two skinny legs.” The play, which ran throughout the summer of 2012, was a resounding success for Theatre West — possibly the only attraction in town run entirely by volunteers, both on stage and behind the scenes. So if you haven’t been or haven’t been lately, take the opportunity this weekend to catch the group’s current production “Death by Fatal Murder,” which has its last two performances this Friday and Saturday. See coast calendar for details. • Assistant editor Quinn is not banished completely from this week’s edition. Can you ﬁnd where he is hiding?

PUBLISH AND CHERISH The path to self-publishing success is littered with half-ﬁnished masterworks and contractual catastrophes. But, on Friday, April 1, and Saturday, April 2, a pair of experts will lay out a step-by-step guide to getting that book written and on the shelves. “Don’t Be A Fool: You Can Write, You Can Publish!” will feature advice from Oregon Coast mystery author Ron Lovell and Suzanne Parrott, owner of the independent book publisher First Stage Publishing. “Our aim is to demystify two goals that creative people have but are afraid to even start,” Lovell said. “Both writing a book and getting it into print are great to

have done. It is the doing that is hard.” Lovell, a retired journalist and OSU journalism professor, will kick the workshop oﬀ on Friday with a pageby-page analysis of one of his mystery novels, detailing how and why he wrote it the way he did and moving on to a general discussion of ﬁction writing. On Saturday, Parrott will cover selfpublishing from editing to design to promotion. She will help participants organize the process of going from raw manuscript to completed printed and digital book, in easy-to-follow steps. Morning will be devoted to the two presenters. Afternoons will consist of individual sessions with attendees.

coast culture

“We want people to bring their worksin-progress or their ideas to class,” Lovell said. “We can also talk about them as a group.” The workshop will run from 9 am to 4 pm each day at the Oceana Family Literacy Center, 561 SW 29th Street in Lincoln City. The cost for attending both days is $140, which includes lunch, materials and consultation. A one-day workshop is $75. Proceeds from the sessions will beneﬁt family literacy, adult education and early learning at the Oceana center. To reserve a spot, call or text Vickie Meneses at 541-921-1865.

Rosalie Craig as Rosalind • Photo by Johan Persson

What’s not to like? A comedy of love and change will grace the big screen in Newport on Friday, March 25, as the National Theatre Live in HD series continues with Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” The production represents the ﬁrst time the National Theatre has tackled the play in more than 30 years and stars Rosalie Craig as Rosalind.

convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation. Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a diﬀerent way of living and falls spectacularly in love. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the screening will start at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $16 for adults, $13 for seniors and $11 for students, are available online at the box oﬃce, online at www.coastarts.org or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787).

Hands up for the Head The Nature Conservancy is looking for volunteer naturalists to help out at the Cascade Head Preserve just north of Lincoln City. Naturalists will greet visitors, answer questions and foster compliance with visitor guidelines. Volunteers also patrol the preserve at least twice during the field season. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Cascade Head promontory provides critical habitat for native prairie grasses, rare wildflowers, the threatened Oregon Silverspot butterfly and the

Cascade Head catchﬂy. The naturalist position includes training and provides volunteers with a variety of opportunities to develop and expand leadership skills while helping to protect some of Oregon’s most remarkable places. To apply, email orvolunteers@tnc.org or call 503-802-8100. For more information, go to nature.org/ oregonvolunteer.

On conserving, who’s deserving? The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is seeking nominees for the 2016 Ferdun Conservation Award, which honors those who have made inspiring and compelling contributions to conservation in the Nehalem area. The award was inspired by Georgenne and Gareth Ferdun, who helped found the Lower Nehalem Community Trust and have passionately pursued land preservation and habitat restoration in the region. “We wanted to recognize local conservation work in our watershed because conservation begins at home,” said Georgenne Ferdun. “We

thought this would be a good way of bringing attention to what people really can do.” Past award winners are naturalist, photographer and North Coast Land Conservancy founder Neal Maine, and Lower Nehalem Watershed Council and Lower Nehalem Community Trust co-founder Doug Firstbrook. The winner of the award will receive a beautiful, inscribed bowl, designed and thrown by the trust’s board chair Allan Olson of Nehalem Bay Pottery. The award will be presented at the Living Locally fundraiser, held Saturday, June 4, at Alder

Alder Creek Farm, the heart of Nehalem conservation country

Creek Farm in Nehalem. To nominate your hero, send a description of how they have contributed to conservation in the Nehalem region along with your name and contact information to LNCT, PO Box 496, Manzanita, OR 97130, or email lnct@nehalemtrust. org with “2016 Ferdun Conservation Award” in the subject line. Nominations are due Friday, April 1. Current staﬀ and board members of Lower Nehalem Community Trust are ineligible. For more information, go to nehalemtrust.org.

Get the scoop… …on the SOLVE beach cleanup Beach lovers will provide a sift response to the menace of tiny plastic fragments on Oregon’s shores this Saturday, March 26, as the SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup returns for its 31st year. Volunteers at this year’s event are being encouraged to bring old colanders or kitty litter scoops to sift the tide lines for tiny plastic pieces, harmful to local wildlife. Started by Judie Hansen and Eleanor Dye, this coastwide volunteer cleanup model was the ﬁrst in the nation, inspiring similar cleanups across the world. This year’s event will see volunteers take to the sands from 10 am to 1 pm at 45 locations from Astoria to Brookings. “The chance to walk in a quiet place and make it cleaner, safer, and more pristine is priceless,” said John Andersen, SOLVE beach captain in Netarts, “We have a duty to be stewards for all creatures that exist now or will exist in the future, and these annual cleanups are a big part of the solution.” Bags and gloves are provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring reusable gloves and buckets to reduce the amount of plastic waste. For more details, go to www. solveoregon.org or call 503-844-9571 x332.

A China monologue

The impact of Chinese American populations on Oregon history will be the subject of a Saturday, March 26, presentation at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum in Lincoln City. Presenter Helen Ying will cover the experience of the Pendleton Chinese community, including the history of the underground city, where people retreated to escape discrimination. Rediscovered after being unnoticed for many years, the city was home to legal and illegal businesses that operated for more than 100 years. Ying spent three decades as an educator in Portland and has served on many civic and community boards and committees related to education and Chinese communities. Yingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free presentation, one of more than 30 being sponsored across the state by the Oregon Historical Society through its Chinese Oregon Speaker Series, will start at 1 pm at the museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101.

Time to tock about money If you need help weeding the garden, changing your oil or finally figuring out how to use that iphone, you might want to stop before reaching for your wallet. That’s because you might be able to get the help you need without spending a penny, through the Lower Columbia TimeBank. A non-profit organization reaching from the Long Beach Peninnsula to Neskowin, the TimeBank allows members to barter for services using their time and expertise as currency. The concept of paying someone with hours rather than money was developed by Dr. Edgar Cahn, who

founded TimeBanks USA in the 1980s. Since that time, hundreds of TimeBanks all over the country, and thousands throughout the world, have been helping people live within their means and still have the work they need done with the investment of just a few hours. The Lower Columbia TimeBank will hold an orientation session, including a screening of the ﬁlm “Time as Money,” on Thursday, March 31, from 6 to 8 pm at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 Third Street. For more information, call Linda Werner at 503-3985223.

Musings on 7-7-17

ard rain pelted the truck as Sonny the ancient Husky and I drove Highway 101 past Oswald West State Park and the Matt Kramer Memorial, both sacred sites in Oregon. But as soon as we reached Manzanita, the rain dissipated and I decided to take Sonny to the beach. I keep thinking each visit could be her last so I never bypass an opportunity to see my old dog listen to the old sound of the ocean. I carried her down to the beach and let her ﬁnd her way to a sturdily constructed driftwood fort. I have to watch her closely these days because she’s almost totally blind. Thus, I took a seat on a driftlog, kept an eye peeled and began musing on the upcoming gig of my lifetime. My 7-7-17 citizen campaign to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Beach Bill on July of 2017 is well underway and my list of participants grows daily. So far, I’ve barnstormed Corvallis, Eugene, Seaside, Portland, Milwaukie, Astoria, Yachats, Lincoln City, Gold Beach, Bandon, a dozen dive bars, and now Manzanita to spread the gospel and recruit an army. As of yet, I have heard nothing concrete from Oregon State Parks about their plans to celebrate this monumental law. About a year ago, I met in person and later communicated via e-mail with the agency’s director and she seemed enthusiastic about the prospect of collaborating. She was supposed to come visit me at the coast and hash out some ideas and, well, I haven’t

heard a word since. State Parks inexcusably ignored the 100th anniversary of former Oregon Governor Tom McCall’s birthday in 2013 and the centennial of former Oregon Governor Oswald West’s landmark 1913 bill that inaugurated Oregon’s special relationship to its ocean beaches. It was West who memorably called Oregon’s ocean beaches our “great birthright.” I would like to remind State Parks of their proactive and heroic role in the passage of the Beach Bill in 1967, the legislation that protected the dry sand areas of our beaches from privatization and garish, ungodly development. Without their taking the lead on this issue and drafting a bill for the legislative session, the Oregon Coast would look hellishly diﬀerent today. I would also like remind State Parks that it published an exquisite 77-page pamphlet in 1977 celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Beach Bill. “Oregon’s Beaches: A Birthright Preserved” has proved indispensible in my research of this story (and others) and one can only hope State Parks has something similar in mind 40 years later. Can someone in the department take some initiative and get started with the planning? Maybe someone already has. I’ve been on the sandy ground taking the pulse of Oregonians and I can assure

you the people are ready to party! I’ve even received word that a couple of Oregonians living abroad are ﬂying home for 7-7-17. Then again, if I never hear anything from State Parks, no big deal. The celebrations will still go down in the multiple ways clever Oregonians can conjure them. Here’s what I know is already happening: • At least two Oregon Coast breweries are planning to brew a Beach Bill-themed beer. (It better taste like Rainier.) • Some marijuana pros are going to produce a special Beach Bill strain. (I can’t wait to hear what it’s called!) • Several musicians are writing songs. A music festival is in the works • Art shows • A community beach walk • A kelp jump rope contest • A Matt Kramer essay contest on the merits of socialist beaches • A historical reenactment of McCall visiting the beach during the battle to pass the Beach Bill I plan on building the biggest

driftwood fort in the history of the world with friends and strangers … and then burning it to the ground at dusk while a hundred guitarists play “Louie, Louie.” I might even throw in a naked drum circle for a dash of counterculture flavor. I might even rescue a dog from an animal shelter and take it to the beach for the first time in its life. I might even get married (she doesn’t know it yet.) What are you going to do on 7-7-17? What’s our current governor going to do? What’s the surfing community going to do? Schools? Chambers of Commerce? Start planning! Get moving and send me your plans. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel.” They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com, which is also the place to go to join the 7-7-17 celebration.

You’ve been Mist Lincoln City landmark rekindles glory days with new lineup By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

or 80 years, the Surftides Resort has been building memories for visitors to Lincoln City. And the new team in charge of Mist, the resort’s onsite restaurant and lounge, aim to tap into that rich heritage to create a must-visit destination. Manager Elliot Redman and Chef Jason Jobé took different paths through their hospitality careers but both ended up prizing the same attributes — quality, consistency and passion. Jobé cut his culinary teeth in the hotels and casinos of Reno and also completed a whistle-stop tour of North American cuisine with a two-year stint on the American Orient Express, which transported passengers through the US and Canada in the lap of luxury. At Mist, Jobé will be putting his experience to work with a revamp of all the restaurant’s menus — tweaking the offerings for breakfast and lunch, while rebuilding the dinner menu entirely for a more gourmet experience. As befits the restaurant’s oceanfront location, Jobé aims to focus mainly on seafood, bringing in new ingredients such as Atlantic char, scallops, swordfish and even shark — the trick, he said, is not to overcook it. “When we get rockin’ and rolling we’ll aim to have a seafood special and an appetizer special nightly,” he said. A big fan of juicing and reducing, Jobé will enliven his dishes with a host of gastriques, beurre blancs and demi-glaces, made using fresh produce, sourced locally whenever possible. “Most things are already made in house,” he said. “By the time I get

done, everything will be made in house.” The core seafood menu will be complemented by some steaks, chicken and pork, as well as prime rib on Fridays and Saturdays. Jobé said he takes pride in attention to detail — respecting the ingredients and preparing them with proper culinary methods. “It could be a cheeseburger to a $25-a-pound scallop,” he said, “I get

the same excitement if it’s cooked properly and we are proud to serve it. It could be an over-easy egg. When it’s done to perfection, I get excited.” Jobé’s addition to the breakfast and lunch menus will be available starting March 23, with the revamp of the lounge and dinner menus set to follow on April 18. Also starting in mid-April, lunch guests on a tight time frame will be able to

choose from a list of “30 minutes guaranteed” meal options. Plans for the lounge menu include a host of gourmet comfort food classics like hand-cut zucchini, chicken wings, sliders and fish tacos — available in a choice of halibut or cod, grilled or fried. Tostados and ceviche add a little south-of-theborder flair, while a range of baked potatoes cater to larger appetites, with options including meat-lovers’, nacho, artichoke and spinach, and fully loaded. With stunning views of the ocean and Cascade Head paired with lodge-style décor, including a raised fire pit with handcrafted copper flue, the lounge is the perfect place to catch up with old friends or meet new ones.

“It’s a fun place,” said Manager Elliot Redman. “Very rarely do you come across a bar like this, especially with the fire pit, the live music on the weekends and the level of service that we bring.” Redman, who comes to Mist with 25 years’ experience in restaurants, said the lounge has the added bonus of feeling like a well-kept secret — popular with locals who offer a warm welcome to visitors who wander in for a cocktail after a walk on the beach. “The local regulars that we have are very welcoming,” he said. “The next thing you know, you’ve got banter from this side of the bar to that side of the bar.” And there are no shortage of conversation starters, with a list of house cocktails that includes a cucumber margarita as well as the house special, the Mist — a mixture of strawberry vodka, triple sec and a unique lemonade that gives it a cloudy appearance. Redman keeps the beer taps as Northwest as possible as well as focusing on Pacific Northwest wines “We are just trying to celebrate the Northwest and how we live and do things out this way,” he said. Entertainment in the lounge includes live music on Fridays and Saturdays, with performances from local acts and visiting artists. And, whether in the restaurant or the bar, Redman said Mist aims to offer a warm welcome paired with a relaxed and stylish atmosphere. “We take care of our guests from the moment they walk through the door and we treat them like family,” he said, adding: “It’s going to be an absolute blast. The plan for the summer is to have fun.” Mist Restaurant and Lounge is located at the Surftides Resort, 2945 NW Jetty Avenue in Lincoln City, and is open for breakfast lunch and dinner daily from 8 am.

Causing a ruckus

Happy Blaze (and Kelly) are here again Singer-songwriter Nicole Blaze and bassist Mo Kelly will bring their music to Lincoln City’s Eventuary on Saturday, March 26, for a concert beneﬁting Family Promise of Lincoln County. Together, the pair deliver compelling lyrics and angelic harmonies that audiences say “open your heart and tear it apart at the same time.” Blaze and Kelly have quite a following throughout

the Northwest and have performed several times in Lincoln City. With inﬂuences ranging from Bonnie Raitt to the Indigo Girls, they are also known for their comic banter on and oﬀ the stage. Their songs range from serious to hilarious and cross genres from jazz to rock, folk and more. The event will start at 6 pm with appetizers and beverages and music starting at 7 pm.

Beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets, $30 apiece, are for sale at the Eventuary located at 560 SW Fleet Avenue or the Family Promise Day Center at 5030 SE Hwy. 101. Proceeds will help Family Promise of Lincoln County in its mission to provide shelter, meals and help toward stable, long-term housing for families with children.

Old-time blues, Appalachian music, ballads, slave songs and more will be on offer at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts on Tuesday, March 29, when Sparky and Rhonda Rucker come to town. The Ruckers perform songs and stories from the American folk tradition, weaving history, traditional storytelling and humor into their concerts. The duo accompany themselves with finger-style picking and bottleneck blues guitar, blues harmonica, old-time banjo, piano, spoons and bones. Performing for more than 40 years, the Ruckers have appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, as well as on NPR’s On Point, Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage and Morning Edition. Their recording, “Treasures & Tears,” was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award and their music is also included on the Grammynominated anthology, “Singing Through the Hard Times.” James “Sparky” Rucker has been singing songs and telling stories from the American tradition for more than 50 years — starting to play guitar at the age of 11 in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is descended from a long line of preachers and law enforcement officers, and his sense of justice stems from both of these traditions. Sparky’s raucous guitar and singing styles are a direct result of his having performed in many doo-wop, soul and rock bands. Sparky has been involved with the civil rights movement since the 1950s. He participated in workshops at the Highlander Center with many prominent people, including Rosa Parks, Myles Horton and Bernice Reagon. He marched shoulderto- shoulder with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee Freedom Singers

Matthew and Marshall Jones and sang at rallies, marches and sit-ins alongside other folk singers such as Guy Carawan and Pete Seeger. He worked to win recognition and benefits for white Southern Appalachian coal miners as a staff member of the Council of the Southern Mountains in the 1970s. After graduating from University of Tennessee, Sparky taught school in Chattanooga before becoming a full-time folk singer. Sparky’s early blues mentors include Rev. Pearly Brown, who taught Duane Allman how to play bottleneck-style guitar; Buddy Moss, who taught Blind Boy Fuller; and Johnny Shines, who traveled with blues legend Robert Johnson. As an author, Sparky contributed stories to anthologies such as “Breathing the Same Air,” “More ReadyTo-Tell Tales” and “The August House Book of Scary Stories.” Rhonda Hicks Rucker practiced medicine for five years before becoming a full-time

musician, author and storyteller. A versatile singer and performer, playing blues harmonica, piano, clawhammer banjo and rhythmic bones, Rhonda appears on nine recordings with her husband. Rhonda grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and has played piano since the age of four. She went on to become a passionate voice in social and environmental advocacy through her songwriting. Her background as a physician also provides her with unique insights into numerous other social problems. Using her versatile musicianship, she has created moving songs about such topics as global warming, the broken health care system and posttraumatic stress disorder. These songs are showcased on the Ruckers’ 2009 album “One Earth.” The Tuesday, March 29, concert will begin at 7 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission will be a sliding scale from $10 to 15 at the door.

March gladness Pianist Monica Ohuchi will visit the Oregon Coast on Saturday, March 26, and Sunday, March 27, to perform in the ﬁnal concerts of the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s regular season. These bright and breezy concerts will include a performance of Shostakovich’s cheery “Ninth Symphony” as well as Ravel’s “Piano Concerto in G Major.” Ohuchi has been receiving accolades all her life for her talent at the piano, beginning when she won the Chinese International Piano Competition at the age of ﬁve. She went on to earn multiple degrees from the Juilliard School and has been praised in the New York Times for her “commanding pianism.” Her debut album, “Monica’s Notebook,” was released in 2011 and features a set of 12 études that acclaimed composer Kenji Bunch created especially for her. This young but seasoned artist has performed as a

guest soloist with orchestras from coast to coast. This will be her ﬁrst performance on the Oregon Coast with the Newport Symphony Orchestra. Ohuchi’s virtuoso skills will be on full display when she joins the orchestra for a performance of the “Piano Concerto in G Major” by Maurice Ravel. The piece includes Basque and Spanish musical themes reminiscent of the composer’s homeland, shimmering and dreamlike passages in the middle movement and, as listeners of the orchestra have come to expect, a wild and frenzied conclusion. Conducted by maestro Adam Flatt, these light-hearted, springtime concerts will open with a sparkling dance by Claude Debussy and later feature two “Gymnopédies” by fellow Frenchman Erik Satie, transposed by Debussy for full orchestra from Satie’s original piano pieces. The musical menu also includes a symphony (No.

9) by Dmitri Shostakovich; but unlike other grandiose Ninth Symphonies, his is no epic aﬀair. The composer himself called it “a merry little piece,” gorgeous to the end. Saturday’s concert will begin at 7:30 pm, while the Sunday matinée will start at 4 pm. Tickets, $20 to $34 or $10 for students, are available online at newportsymphony.org, by phone at 541-265-ARTS or from the box oﬃce at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 West Olive Street in Newport.

Summer specials Although these are the final concerts of the orchestra’s 2015-16 regular season, audiences can look forward to a host of special summer performances, including romantic Broadway favorites on June 18, the orchestra’s hugely popular free performance of patriotic pops on July 4, and two very special performances on July 8 and 9 starring the great Judy Collins.

Scores of items on offer Pianist, composer and philanthropist Michael Allen Harrison will provide the entertainment at the fourth annual Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society fund-raiser in Depoe Bay on Saturday, April 2. Held in the ocean view home of Dick and Laurel Young, the event will also include live and silent auctions, wine pouring by Susan Wahlke and catering by

the Taft High Culinary Club. Items up for grabs in the auctions include wine, classes, car care, home décor by local artisans, entertainment and excursions, fashion and jewelry, and gift certiﬁcates for hotels, restaurants, spas and salons. The event will begin at 3:15 pm, with admission $35 per person. For reservations and directions, call Laurel at 541765-7770.

A STEP-BICEP GUIDE TO GLORY

Earn your stripes at trivia bee A good team name is a must for any group setting their sights on trivia contest success; and an upcoming contest in Newport will give trivia fans a chance to take on one of the very best. “Cover Your Assets,” the Oregon Coast Bank team that took top prize at last year’s Altrusa Trivia Bee, are throwing down the gauntlet to any and all challengers as they gear up to defend their title on Saturday, April 16. Returning for its 26th year, the fund-raising event oﬀers a memorable evening of lighthearted fun and games at the Rogue Ales Public House on the bayfront in Newport. Bill Klein, the man behind Mr. Bill’s Trivia Show since 1984, will act as emcee and host, quizzing six-person teams on topics including geography, music, history and more. Participants will compete for fantastic prizes,

as well as bragging rights. “There is always good competition at the Trivia Bee but you don’t have to be a trivia buff,” Klein said. “In fact, sometimes it is more about the age of players on your team. Teams with a mix of male and female and ages usually fare the best.” The Trivia Bee raises funds for literacy and health projects from Altrusa International of Yaquina Bay — a non-profit service organization assisting women and children in Lincoln County. Team registration costs $150. Raffle tickets will also be on sale at the event, with numerous prizes donated by area merchants. To register a team, call Kathy Manning at 541-265-0652. An early-bird drawing will be held for those teams who register before March 31, with one team winning a special prize. The final registration deadline is April 11.

Lincoln City’s right-hand man Tyler Lopez will step into the spotlight for another exhibition of raw brawn on Saturday, March 26, when the 7th Annual Arm Wrestling Championships get underway at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Produced by National Arm Wrestling Promotions, the event showcases the best arm wrestlers from all over the United States. Lopez, who went undefeated at last year’s event and won first place in his weight category, will be wrestling alongside stars such as Robbie Topie, the number-two left-handed super heavy weight; national heavyweight champion Jordan Sills; and light heavyweight Ryan Clark. The event will kick oﬀ with a sixman, round robin right-hander event, featuring six of the best right-handed arm wrestlers from around the country. Doors open at noon and admission is free for people of all ages. But why stop at watching when you can roll up your sleeves and have a go yourself? There is an amateur class for the beginners and an open class with cash

prizes awarded for Men’s and Women’s divisions. Meanwhile, a Master’s Division caters to contestants aged 40 and older. Entry fee to compete in the Open division is $30 per arm/division and

Amateur/Master is $25. The first 75 entries will also receive a free event t-shirt. To register or learn more about the event, go to www.napsport.com or call Bill Collins at 209-704-0564.

It takes a village, people Yachats to host Awake to Rhythm benefit for My Sisters’ Place on April 2 By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY

We’ve all heard the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ Well, on Saturday, April 2, the people of Yachats will show that a village can get a few other things done, too — when everyone works together. The quaint oceanfront town is hosting a benefit to support My Sisters’ Place, the Central Oregon Coast’s non-profit interpersonal violence intervention My Sisters’ Place is a program. non-profit organization, Entitled Awake which was incorporated to Rhythm, the in 1980. Its mission is to event will fill the comprehensively support Yachats Commons those affected by interperwith food, live sonal violence in Lincoln entertainment, art, County by providing shelter, a raffle and live practical assistance, promoting and silent auction community awareness and actively working to change items, all in a the community norms around family friendly violence.

The evening event is a platform for education, advocacy and reform for all people who are oppressed and abused. Awake to Rhythm will bring a voice to this society-wide problem, while also emphasizing the significantly higher levels of violence faced by Native Americans and communities of color. In Oregon,

About My Sisters’ Place

one in five women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime, and one in four women will experience domestic violence. For Native American women, one in three will experience sexual assault, and three in five will experience domestic violence. According to Lisa Norton, executive director for My Sisters’ Place, this event represents a Lincoln County community challenging the norms around violence. “It is a wonderful opportunity to share what we do and witness the community’s support,” she said. “It is this type of outreach and event that confirms our community stands with us in this venture.” Yachats resident Joanne Kittel has long been an advocate for the oppressed and abused, and is a proponent for the coastal indigenous people who were forced to live in internment camps during the mid to late 1800s. The notoriously inhumane Alsea Sub-Agency Camp was located where Yachats stands today. Given this sobering history of starvation and cruelty, many Yachats residents are committed to community advocacy against violence. Kittel described the Awake to Rhythm benefit as a “reflection of the wonderfully diverse and competent community members who give their time and financial resources to support organizations and individuals in need.” With April being Sexual Abuse Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month, this event will give people options on how to help reduce all forms of oppression in Lincoln County. Norton said the 2.26 percent of the countywide population serviced by My Sisters’ Place

reflects a reluctance to escape a toxic situation. “This is a rural county and victims fear a loss of anonymity,” she said. “We are launching a public outreach campaign called Seeds of Hope, which we think will give a positive message for all involved. Our staff even renamed the 1-800 Crisis Line to the Hope Line.” Featured performers at the Awake to Rhythm event include Jimmy Kasner, Doc Slyter, Sonidos Del Mexico Antiguo, Mary Beth Nickel and Rodney Turner. All food and non-alcoholic beverages are provided courtesy of the Yachats Ladies Club. The live and silent auction items include woodcarvings, Navajo pottery, jewelry, Peruvian handwoven items, a Navajo sand painting, handwoven baskets, a Mdewakanton medicine stick, a flute, Mdewakanton Pendleton blanket, a signed and framed R.C. Gorman print, CDs and
