from the editor
Sounds like a great idea
A
s the editor of an arts and entertainment weekly on the Oregon Coast, I have a particular soft spot in my heart for venues where people sing, dance, paint, write, laugh and generally celebrate the creative spirit.
From the Yachats Commons to the Newport Visual Arts Center and from the Lincoln City Cultural Center to The Hoffman Center in Manzanita — these buildings and the folks who make them tick are the bread and butter of the coast’s cultural scene. And in an age where people can stay home and stream HBO’s latest marquee show straight to their flat screen, these venues have an uphill task to persuade people to get out into the world and enjoy a live show. To meet this challenge, the Newport Performing Arts Center is undergoing a six-year, $4.3-million campaign to expand and enhance its facilities to meet the needs and expectations of future audiences. Dubbed “Entertain the Future,” the campaign is proceeding in six stages, tackling everything from lighting and signage to rehearsal rooms and restrooms. This weekend, the center will unveil the fruits of the campaign’s second stage — a total overhaul of the acoustics in its Alice Silverman Theater, which will debut with two performances of “Strauss and Strauss” by the Newport Symphony Orchestra (see page 11 for details). The new Meyer Constellation Acoustical System, the only one on the coast between San Francisco and Vancouver, BC, allows staff to optimize the theater for any type of performance. At the touch of an iPad, the system can configure the theater for a full orchestra one minute and an intimate, solo dramatic performance the next. Having raised more than a million dollars, “Entertain the Future” is now a quarter of the way toward its total fund-raising goal, but still has a long way to go. By having the acoustical upgrade done in the winter, the campaign was able to get a great deal on the price but still needs to raise $80,000 to cover the bill. So, don’t take my word for it. Grab some tickets for “Strauss and Strauss” and check out the acoustics for yourself, If you like what you hear, dig a little deeper and help the center continue its march to the future.

TRAGEDY
— on a massive scale
Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge will come to the big screen in Newport on Friday, March 28, as National Theatre Live presents “Coriolanus.” Produced by the Donmar Warehouse and directed by Josie Rourke, the play features Tom Hiddleston of “The Avengers” and “War Horse” fame in the title role, with Mark Gatiss of BBC’s “Sherlock” as Menenius. When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and
7
defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change and, on returning from the field, Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people. Since its inception in 2009, National Theatre Live has exposed more than 750,000 people to the work of the UK’s National Theatre by broadcasting live performances onto cinema screens around the world. Hosted by the Oregon
Coast Council for the Arts, the screening at the Newport Performing Arts Center is made possible by support from the Jeannette Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation and the City of Newport, as well as individual event sponsors. The March 28 screening will run from 7 to 10 pm at the center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $15.50 for adults; $12.50 for seniors; and $10.50 for students, are available at www.coastarts.org, at the PAC box office or by calling 541265-ARTS (2787).
Get lost… and found again As the changing of the season prompts reflection, people looking to celebrate the spring equinox, Easter, Passover or any other holiday are invited to a labyrinth walk at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Monday, March 31. The labyrinth is an ancient symbol, known in many cultures for thousands of years. In its simplest form, it is a meditation, following a single path into the center and then following the same path back out. There are no rules other than to walk in silence and be respectful of fellow walkers. In addition to holiday celebrations, people are also known to walk in honor of loved ones who have passed on, to give thanks, ask for help or enter the mystery of life. There are as many reasons as there are walkers; and all are
4 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 28, 2014
welcome. The labyrinth at the cultural center, provided by the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, is modeled after the one in Chartres Cathedral. Hand-painted on canvas with a lotus in the center, the labyrinth offers a place for prayer, meditation and reflection, accompanied by soft music and candlelight. Volunteers Darlene Muller and Alex del Vecchio coordinate the labyrinth experience and are on hand to assist first-time walkers. The labyrinth will be available from 4 to 7 pm, in the auditorium of the center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Admission is by donation, with all proceeds going to the Cultural Center. For more information, call 541-994-9994.
beach reads Probing the power of poetry
The power of poetry as a social and political force will be the focus of the latest Oregon Reads event at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library, honoring the legacy of the state’s former Poet Laureate William Stafford. Stafford was known not only for his poetry, but also for his politics as an ardent pacifist and his status as a conscientious objector during World War II. Often, these aspects of his life merged, and in this way he carried on the tradition of poets using their art to comment on and even influence the political and social realms. On Sunday, March 30,
Lawson Inada
former Oregon Poet Laureate Lawson Inada will discuss how poetry can impact social and political issues, and will
speak about how Stafford’s work accomplished this. The presentation will include readings from Inada’s own work and an opportunity for attendees to ask questions about the politics of poetry and the poetry of politics. Driftwood’s Oregon Reads program is sponsored by The Driftwood Library Foundation, U.S. Bancorp Foundation and D’Sands Condominium Motel. All presentations in the program are free and open to all. The March 30 presentation will take place at 3 pm in the library, located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101.
Sweetening the deal
Seldom in life does the opportunity arise to browse the shelves of a library while chewing on a chocolate brownie served fresh from the oven. But this is precisely what is on offer at the Friends of Yachats Library Book Sale, which takes place on Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29, at the Yachats Commons. As guests browse tables packed with books, CDs, DVDs and tapes of all kinds, volunteers will be at work in the kitchen, turning out delicious treats to sweeten the already-sweet deals on offer. The sale will offer hundreds of gently used books, arranged in categories including mysteries, cookbooks, gardening books, fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, biography, travel, history and humor in hardcover and paperback. A specially priced section will include rare books, signed copies, book sets and coffee table books. The sale also includes audio tapes, DVDs and music CDs priced at a dollar each, and audiobooks for $3 apiece. VHS tapes will be three for a dollar. On Friday, hardbacks, trade paperbacks and softcovers will be a dollar each while paperbacks will be 50 cents apiece. Saturday is bag day. Guests can fill a plastic
grocery bag for $4 or a Yachats Library bag for $3. The new teal Yachats Library bag can be purchased at the sale for a dollar. Proceeds from the sale are used to add to the library’s collection and equipment. Meanwhile, proceeds from the delicious treats sold during the sale will go the two organizations staffing the kitchen. On Friday, March 28, the Yachats Youth and Family Program will offer hot drinks and home-baked goodies, while on Saturday, March 29, Yachats Community Presbyterian Church will be serving brownies right out of the oven. Guests will also have the chance to pick up some art, with work by the 30-plus members of the Yachats Arts Guild on display and for sale during the event. The sale will be open from 10 am to 4 pm each day at the commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. For more information, call 541-547-3741.

Attempts to balance Oregon’s strong traditions of logging, fishing, farming and ranching with its progressive environmental policies often lead to conflicts that can go right to the heart of what it means to be an Oregonian. This is the focus of “Your Land, My Land: Using and Preserving Oregon’s Natural Resources,” a free conversation with Professor Veronica Dujon that will take place on Friday, March 28, at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Dujon is associate dean of curriculum development and enrollment management at Portland State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She has published widely and is coeditor of “Understanding the Social Dimension of Sustainability.” Dujon received her bachelor’s degree from the University of the West Indies, Barbados, and her master’s and doctoral degrees in land resources/sociology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The program, hosted by the League Professor Veronica Dujon of Women Voters of Lincoln County and sponsored by Oregon Humanities, will begin at 6 pm in the Guin Library at the center, 2030 Marine Science Drive. For more information about this free community discussion, or to learn more about the League of Women Voters of Lincoln County, contact Ruth Kistler at 541-574-8145 or ruthjkistler@q.com.

Karma comes in many forms at the Oregon Coast. Sometimes it’s a good deed done for a neighbor; sometimes a treasured agate found on the beach. And sometimes, like on a visit to Big Mountain Coffee HouseRoastery, karma comes in a cup. Owners Brent and Carla Duering are big believers in the theory that what goes around comes around. Along with Head Barista Shihaily Santin, they make their mochas with hand-shaved, imported chocolate; expertly roasted and organic espresso; and freshly steamed milk and send them out into the world. The goodness, they believe, will come back to them at their coffeeroasting warehouse in Lincoln Beach. Deep thoughts aside, Big Mountain makes seriously good mochas and hot chocolates. The shop carries a variety of high-quality chocolate, which can be mixed to create a full menu of delights: Milk Chocolate, Belgian Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate and Chocoholic’s Choice (a combination of all three). “This is real chocolate, and it makes a big difference,” Brent said.
“Our Belgian chocolate actually comes from Europe. Our Mexican chocolate comes from Mexico. We make people smile, one mocha at a time.” It’s business with a personal touch, and it’s just what Brent and Carla set out to do when they founded Big Mountain Coffee House-Roastery 11 years ago. They buy only organic, fair-trade, grade-1 coffee beans and roast them in small batches in state-of-the art roasters, no more than one pound at a time. After roasting, the beans go right into airtight bags for shipping to Big Mountain customers all over the country. Specialties include espresso roasts, like The Grizz and Sasquatch; and drip coffee blends, like the Newport Jazz and the Surfin’ Safari. But they also roast single-origin coffees like Sumatra Gayo Mountain and Brazil Cerrado Vintage; and two natural and Swiss water-processed decaf coffees. The Duerings roast commercially for several businesses, from offices to upper-end bed and breakfasts and maintain a website sales portal at bigmountaincoffees.com. All the roasting takes place at the coffee house, located next to the
Lincoln Beach Thiftway market, on Highway 101 between Depoe Bay and Lincoln City. The Duerings have completely transformed the interior of this warehouse, creating a clean, modern and urban industrial-style space. Designed by Carla, the shop is open and spacious, with beach-friendly concrete floors and diamondplate accents. A custom-built countertop, molded concrete on top of corrugated metal, undulates through the center, and industrial elements like chain-link fencing and plywood surround modern chrome and black leather couches. “We usually get comments about our space as something customers would expect to see in a big city, and not on the coast,” Brent said. “People say they like to come here because we make them feel at home.” The distressed concrete counter is decorated with plates of dailybaked goods made from scratch, including Brent’s cookies, biscotti, cupcakes and other scrumptious treats made on site. Other artisanbaked goods are provided by Katie McNeil of Pacific Sourdough in Waldport. As well as fantastic chocolate creations, the drinks menu features blended coffee and tea frappe drinks. You’ll find the Duerings’ original recipe Chai Tea in several flavors, all-natural fruit smoothies, Café Cubano, Café Con Leche, Espresso Con Panna and Doppio Macchiatos. At Big Mountain, everything has a story. The Café Cubano is on the menu, for example, because a customer of Cuban descent offered to teach Brent how to prepare Cuban-style coffee drinks, so that he would be able to enjoy his coffee, made his way, each morning. “He asked if I could make Cuban
8 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 28, 2014
coffee. I said no, but I’m always open to learning new things,” Brent said. “He spent two hours teaching me, and now I feel like my Café Cubano is really authentic. We have customers who are hooked on them. They think these are the best things in the world.” It has now been 11 years since Brent survived the stroke that left him temporarily disabled and inspired the couple’s move to the Oregon Coast to create Big Mountain Coffee House-Roastery. Brent and Carla learned about the coffee business, created their blends and started the company, all while he was re-learning to use the left side of his body. Their logo, a coffee pot and a cup, was the first thing this left-hander (and lifelong artist) was able to draw after his
rehabilitation. Like everything they do at Big Mountain, it’s personal. “Our mission statement, if we had one, would be something like this: it’s not about the size of the company, or how many locations you might have, it’s about that one customer who leaves our shop happy and smiling,” Brent said. “That’s the karma we believe in.” Big Mountain Coffee HouseRoastery can be found next to the Thriftway Market in Lincoln Beach, 2 miles north of Depoe Bay and 8 miles south of Lincoln City. Hours are from about 7 am to about 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and about 7 am to about 11 am on Sunday. To learn more or order your own customroasted batch of coffee, call 541-7642195 or go to bigmountaincoffees.com.

Amazing what happens when you
PULL A FEW STRINGS One of the world’s greatest guitarists will perform at the Lincoln City Cultural Center as part of José Solano’s ongoing World Music Series, with Solano confessing that the booking happened almost by accident. Flamenco guitarist José Antonio Rodríguez has played with such great names as Paco de Lucía, Manolo Sanlucar, Astor Piazzola, Julian Bream, Chick Corea and John Mclaughlin, as well as performing with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Symphonic Orchestra of Seville. Rodríguez is in the area to perform in Portland at the invitation of one of his students, flamenco guitarist and oud player Nat Hulskamp. When Solano heard Rodríguez was in Oregon, he decided to ask if the revered performer would mind taking a side trip to the coast. Rodríguez agreed and, on Saturday, March 29, will step on stage at the cultural center to perform a tribute to flamenco great Paco de Lucía, who died unexpectedly in February. After winning first prize at the 1982 National Contest of Flamenco guitar of Jerez de la Frontera at the age of 18, Rodríguez went on to become the youngest professor of flamenco guitar at the Academy of Music of Córdoba. He won many more awards for his recordings and concerts and was featured in Carlos Saura’s films “Flamenco,” “Iberia” and “The Seventh Day.” He has also collaborated with renowned musicians of various styles, ranging from Turkish musician Omar Faruk Tekbilek to Jennifer López.
Among his musical compositions are the ballet “La Leyenda,” performed in Canada and Madrid; and “Alchemy,” premiered in the XII Bienal de Flamenco in 2002. He has performed from London to Paris to Russia, throughout most of Europe and Latin America. For his Lincoln City performance, Rodríguez will be accompanied on second guitar by Corey Whitehead, professor of guitar at Fresno State University, California. The March 29 concert will begin at 7:30 pm at 540 NW Hwy. 101. Tickets are $18 in advance or $22 at thedoor, and $12 for students. Limited up-front table seating is $25 in advance. A no-host bar is available. For tickets, call 541-994-9994.
Don’t feel blue. Hear it.

It’s Miller time
Is there an echo in here? Orchestra debuts new sound system with “Strauss and Strauss”
The final concerts in the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s silver anniversary season will feature works by Richard Strauss and Johann Strauss, enhanced by newly improved acoustics at the Newport Performing Arts Center. This acoustical improvement is thanks to the installation of a high-tech audio speaker set up in the center’s Alice Silverman Theater by Meyer Audio Systems. Hidden around the theater, the speakers and microphones are controlled by advanced computerized audio software, which listens to the music being played on stage and subtly improves the resonance of the sound in the room. “In effect, with the push of a button, the theater can be transformed into the acoustical equivalent of Carnegie Hall,” said orchestra board president Michael Dalton. “The technology can even make the room reverberate like the inside of a grand Gothic cathedral.”
The system, one of the first installed anywhere on the West Coast, and so far the only one in Oregon, will debut with the “Strauss and Strauss” concerts on March 29 and 30, directed by Adam Flatt. While the names of these two unrelated German giants might be similar, their music is remarkably diverse. Johann Strauss, the elder of the two, is known as the king of the waltz, whose light and endearing music made him beloved of audiences everywhere, especially in Vienna. A famous Gershwin song cries, “Give me an oom-pah-pah by Strauss!” The orchestra will open its concert with his overture to “The Gypsy Baron,” a comic operetta. Later, the concert will conclude with his “Emperor Waltzes,” a set of music that begins like a stately and ceremonious march, slides into a series of witty and melodic waltzes and ends with
an imperial flourish. In between these pieces, the orchestra will play two works by Richard Strauss, a more melancholy composer of a younger generation. First, Richard’s tone poem, “Death and Transfiguration,” depicts a man’s heroic last struggle with illness and death, and the hope for glory beyond. Also, from Richard’s opera “Der Rosenkavalier,” the orchestra will play the waltz sequence from Act 3 — another nod to those free and easy dances in three-quarter time. “Strauss and Strauss” will be performed at 7:30 pm, on Saturday, March 29, and in a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, March 30, at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $34 and $20, or $10 for students, can be purchased at the center box office in person, by phone at 541-265-ARTS, or online at newportsymphony.org.
The Monday Musical Club of Tillamook will conclude its 2013-14 concert series on Sunday, March 30, with an unprecedented fourth appearance by perhaps the most popular band in the club’s history. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been captivating audiences and dancers all over the world with swing classics such as “Moonlight Serenade,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “In the Mood” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000” since the original lineup first took to the stage in 1938. Since 2012, the orchestra has been led by Nick Hilscher, a multi-talented musician who, in addition to being a vocalist, is also a pianist, arranger and orchestrator. His career also includes a stint as director of The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. The concert will begin at 2 pm in the Don Whitney Auditorium at Tillamook High School, 2605 12th Street, Tillamook. Advance tickets are $25 for adults WHAT: Glen Miller and $20 for students. Orchestra Tickets at the door WHERE: Don Whitney cost $30 for adults Auditorium, Tillamook High and $25 for students.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is looking for volunteer anglers to help catch and release ocean bottom ďŹ sh this spring and fall in an eort to monitor the eectiveness of the coast’s new marine reserves. Volunteers are needed for 8-hour ocean outings leaving from Garibaldi, Depoe Bay, Newport and Port Orford. ODFW will provide the rods, reels and terminal tackle and, since volunteers are participating in scientiďŹ c research, no ďŹ shing license is required. Since 2012, Oregon has designated ďŹ ve marine reserve sites o the Oregon Coast, with the aim of advancing scientiďŹ c research and conserving habitats and biodiversity.
Katie Pierson of the marine reserves research and monitoring project, said hook and line sampling is useful in comparing ďŹ sh communities inside and outside the reserves because it allows scientists to measure the length and weight of ďŹ sh brought aboard. Volunteers should e-mail their name, phone number, e-mail address and which ports they would like to depart from to odfw. marinereserves@state.or.us or call 541-8677701 ext. 241. “As ďŹ shing dates near, we will contact all volunteers on the list,â€? Pierson said. “Fishing trips will be ďŹ lled on a ďŹ rst come, ďŹ rst served basis.â€?

Tillamook School District students plant native vegetation around Loren’s Pond
Improvements at Loren’s Pond near Tillamook will be on display when the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife holds a free public ďŹ shing event at the site on Friday, March 28. ODFW will stock the pond with rainbow trout and provide ďŹ shing rods, reels, tackle and bait free of charge to anybody who wants to ďŹ sh. Experienced ďŹ shing instructors will be on hand to provide tips on how to set up gear and cast as well as how to land and clean ďŹ sh. The event will run from 9 am to 2 pm.
ODFW and several of its partners recently completed a number of improvements at the 3.5-acre pond, including new trails and ďŹ shing access points, a new ADA-accessible ďŹ shing pad and restroom, new picnic tables and benches and more parking space. Invasive plants have been removed and replaced with native vegetation and the pond has also been deepened in several areas to provide better habitat for ďŹ sh. Anglers 13 years old and under can ďŹ sh for free but kids aged 14 to 17 will
need to have a juvenile angling license, which can be bought for $9 at ODFW license agents, ODFW oďŹƒces and online at www.dfw.state.or.us. Licenses will not be on sale at the event. Loren’s Pond is a located along the Trask River near the Trask River hatchery. From Hwy. 6 go west on Olson Road, continuing on to Trask River Road and across the Trask River on to Long Prairie Road.

Preparing for
AM -AM MIT CLLA TY C Y When the earth shakes, head for high ground — and chowder
M
Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
ore than a million gallons of piping hot chowder will be up for grabs on Tuesday, April 1, when the Lincoln City Strategic Chowder Reserve is drained to prepare for structural upgrades. The Reserve was established by Mo’s Restaurant in 1982 as a way to deal with spikes in demand for clam chowder — including holidays like the Fourth of July and times when high temperatures in the Valley cause thousands to seek relief at the coast. But now, Mo’s is looking to make the Reserve an integral part of Lincoln City’s disaster preparedness plan by retrofitting the 2-million-gallon tank to withstand the force of a major earthquake. “It’s all part of our commitment to being

a responsible member of the business community,” Mo’s Manager James Slentz said. “When the big one hits, people are going to need basic services, like water, power — and chowder.” By strengthening the foundations of the tank and reinforcing its steel walls, Mo’s will be meeting seismic guidelines aimed at keeping structures standing during all but the most powerful quakes. The move has won support from local emergency planners, including Capt. Jim Kusz of North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1. “In the event of an earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which sits just off Oregon’s coastline, Lincoln City could suffer significant damage and that’s before you factor in the effects of the tsunami that would likely follow,” Kusz said. “In the event of a catastrophe like that, this chowder reserve could be one of the few structures left standing, which would make it — in my eyes — a beacon of baconinfused hope for the whole coast.” The decision to strengthen the tank has also been welcomed by the management at the Liberty Inn, which sits further down the hill and directly in the path of any chowder release. “We are so happy that Mo’s has stepped up to safeguard their tank and improve emergency preparedness for the whole community,” said Liberty Inn Manager Mike Cruz. “The last thing we need when we are dealing with the aftermath of an earthquake and tsunami is a cascade of chowder heading down the hill toward

us — no matter how creamy and delicious it might be.” In order to allow the retrofit to take place, the massive tank needs to be completely drained so that engineers can get to the substructure. With nowhere else to store the more than one million gallons of its signature product, Mo’s came up with the idea of simply giving it away right there at the base of the Reserve tank. “The fire district guys have been kind enough to volunteer manpower and a whole lot of hose,” Slentz said. “So, come April 1, we will be holding what could turn out to be the biggest chowder giveaway in history — right here in Lincoln City.” The massive tank will take most of the day to drain, so crews will be starting early, with the first chowder expected to start pumping at about 7 am. And folks who want a front-row seat for the whole process might want to take advantage of a special promotion being offered by the Liberty Inn.
“Our ‘Double Drain Delight’ package includes one night’s stay in a double room with a view of the tank for $200,” Cruz said. “You can wake up, open your curtains and watch from start to finish. Plus, we’ll throw in all the oyster crackers you can eat.” For Kusz, the draining of the Reserve is the sort of “teachable moment” that emergency planners yearn for in order to focus people’s minds on disaster preparedness. “It’s a great excuse for the whole family to come on down, enjoy some free chowder, get to know your local firefighters and maybe have a chat about your own emergency plans,” he said. “I can’t think of any way I would rather spend my time on a fine April day.” The Lincoln City Strategic Chowder Reserve is located just uphill from the Liberty Inn on Logan Road at the north end of town. The draining is expected to begin at 7 am on Tuesday, April 1.

UP IN THE AIR
Kites, birds and music will all be in the air on Saturday, March 29, as Pacific City’s Cape Kiawanda Community Center hosts a full day of fun for folks of all ages. Spring is in the Air, sponsored by the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, will offer kids the chance to make and fly their own kites in the morning; learn all about raptors in the afternoon; and take to the dance floor with their parents in the evening. The day begins at 10 am, with Let’s Go Fly a Kite!, a by-donation kite-building workshop for kids of all ages. During the two-hour program, kids will have the opportunity to build, decorate and fly their own kites. All materials will be provided. David Gomberg of Northwest Winds Kites and Toys will be on hand to talk about kites, including what they have in common with birds, jet planes and even ocean waves. From 2 to 4 pm, the Cascades Raptor Center will give a presentation entitled Bring the Wild Alive, showcasing some of the center’s birds of prey and focusing on the importance of raptors in Northwest ecosystems. This event is also free, although donations will be gratefully accepted. The day will conclude with an evening of dancing and music from rock, blues and Americana trio the T-Bones. From 6 to 9 pm, guests are encouraged to dance the night away while enjoying hors d’oeuvres from Pacific City’s Oar House Restaurant. Admission for adults is $30 and

Living on the edge
never gave much thought to tsunamis. I didn’t need to. Then we moved here, and suddenly I needed to. My husband came out ahead of me to start his new job and find us a house. Buying a house, which I would not see until I pulled into the driveway, was probably the scariest thing the poor man has ever had to do and he wasn’t taking any chances. But finally, he found the perfect place — ocean views, affordable, dog-friendly yard … then he saw the sign out front, “Tsunami Inundation Zone.” “Lori,” he said. “I saw that sign and I could just see you sitting there every day waiting for the tsunami.”

he first time I felt the earth move, I was in Alaska. The house trembled. The light swayed. And just about the time the plates started rattling, I heard my sister. “Earthquake!” She didn’t exactly shout it, but she wasn’t whistling Dixie, either. “Get under the doorway,” she ordered. Instead, I froze. Where I came from we didn’t have earthquakes. We had seriously scary thunderstorms, the occasional tornado and once in a while a flood. But at least with those disasters, you get a warning; you have ample time to worry yourself sick, which I did. Often. I’d see the sky darken, feel the ominous change in the air and head for the sofa where, regardless of the fact that it was more hot and humid than the Amazon, I’d bury myself under a blanket and pillow. Consumed by dread. But earthquakes come with no warning. Except, of course, the daily knowledge you carry when you live in a place where the earth may at any moment decide to rearrange itself. Which is exactly what it did 50 years ago on March 27 when the magnitude 9.2 Good Friday earthquake devastated Alaska. My husband was a kid watching television in Palmer. He remembers the dishes sliding out of the cabinets and the television going dark, robbing him of his cartoons. The nerve. When people in Alaska talk about the earthquake, they talk about how the JC Penney’s and much of 4th Avenue crumbled, how entire neighborhoods slid and fell into crevasses. Here in Oregon, people remember it for the tsunami that followed four hours later, devastating the Oregon Coast and destroying much of Crescent City, California. It’s a sobering thought. And something I hope to never experience. But scientists say the odds are good the Cascadia Subduction Zone will rupture in the next 50 years, triggering a mega earthquake and

massive tsunami. So we must plan our evacuation routes, prepare emergency kits. We’ve got to be ready. I know this. I’ve written about it so many times, I could probably teach a class myself. And yet … I’ve always figured if I survive the earthquake, I’d be safe in the tsunami. Then a scientist asked if I knew my tsunami evacuation route. “Oh,” I said, “my house sits up pretty high. I don’t have to worry about that.” “Have you considered you may not be home when it happens?” Actually, I had not. I did then. The next time I was driving north and found myself at sea level, I said, ‘OK, where would I go?’ I looked around and sure enough there was the Tsunami Evacuation Route sign. Good for me, I thought. Then, I saw that just beyond the sign was a gate. And it was locked.

I’ve made a start at creating an emergency pack, too. I’ve got the extra water in the garage and started on the food supply with a couple of cans of tuna. Then one day I got a craving and well, so much for the tuna. But I’m going to do better. I just think it might be easier if I had some kind of tangible warning, like an ominous dark sky. All those years ago, when we moved here, my husband was smart not to buy the house in the tsunami inundation zone. But he was wrong about one thing. I would not have been sitting there every day waiting for the tsunami. I’d have been waiting prone on the sofa, pillow and blanket over my head.

Vow to murder your wife Tillamook’s latest offering shows the power of a continuing resolution By Patrick Alexander
S
ome new year’s resolutions are tougher to keep than others. Eating more fruit? Pretty easy. Eating less cake? Extremely tricky. So, how about killing your wife? Well, if the new play from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is anything to go by, it’s a lot harder than you might expect. “A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody” begins on New Year’s Eve, with a pair of unusual resolutions from wealthy-butbored couple Matthew and Julia Perry. Matthew, keen to follow in the jet-setting footsteps of his recently widowed best friend, vows to kill Julia before the year is out. Julia, however, resolves to survive — setting in motion a

yearlong game of wits that soon has almost everyone but the intended victim dropping like flies. “It’s a comedic murder romp where everybody’s got a secret and you never really know what’s going on until the end,” said director Joni Sauer-Folger, who has been involved with TAPA since 2010. Fresh from two consecutive years directing the group’s musical fund-raisers, Sauer-Folger said she was looking for a funny play with no singing, no dancing and a small, manageable cast. “I was looking for something funny,” she said. “Something that would be fun for the cast as well as the audience.” And, as a novelist who specializes in “cozy” mysteries, she had just one more box to tick — the play had to have murder in it somewhere.
Koli Cutler and Robert Kratz,Jr.
That’s no problem for this work by Ron Bernas, which has people dropping dead in just about every season as Matthew’s murder attempts miss their mark time after time. Born in Florence, Sauer-Folger moved back to Oregon in 2008 after a career with Southwest Airlines that saw her move around the country for 22 years. At each stop, she added to her résumé of theatrical experience, which includes stints with performing companies in Los Angeles and New York City. Tillamook, she said, holds its own. “This is a small community, but this is a nice little theater,” she said. “And we have a lot of talented people in this area.” And, as Sauer-Folger read her way through the script, several of those talented faces popped into her head as being perfect for some of the play’s six roles. TAPA veterans Bill Farnum and Sarah Edwards take the roles of Matthew and Julia; with Robert Kratz filling the role of Buttram, the butler who — as all the best butlers do — has something to hide. Real life couple Ali and Brett Duer play the Perrys’ dimwitted daughter, Bunny, and her fiancé, Donald, whose wedding plans are put at risk as their guests keep turning up dead.

Completing the cast in the role of the bumbling Inspector Plotnik is TAPA newcomer Koli Cutler, a recent transplant from the East Coast who brings with him a wealth of experience in theater, TV and film. A finely appointed study in a stately country manor, courtesy of set designer Richard Coon, provides the backdrop as the action plays out — starting with those New Year vows and running through summer, then Halloween before revealing who is still standing when New Year’s Eve rolls around again.
The show will open with a gala performance on Friday, March 28, at the Barn Community Playhouse at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. The run will continue through April 12, with shows at 7 pm every Friday and Saturday and 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Doors open half an hour prior to each show. Tickets, $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and seniors; or $40 for a family of four, are on sale at The Diamond Art Jewelers in Tillamook. Call 503-8427940 for details.

A big finale for “The Big Five-Oh”
LINCOLN COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS FARMERS MARKET SATURDAYS 10 TO 2 ~ April 5th ~ SUPPORTING LOCAL FARMERS, FOOD PRODUCERS AND ARTISTS
LOCALLY GROWN FOR ALL SEASONS
If Spring Break has led to a few tense moments in your family, this weekend will offer the chance to get a little perspective as “The Big Five-Oh” concludes its four-week run at Lincoln City’s Theatre West. The comedy opens with the long-suffering George Thomas just trying to get through the week running up to his 50th birthday — a week that is rapidly shaping up to be the worst of his life. But, despite the challenges of a neurotic wife, a slacker son, a geriatric dog and a daughter who wants to marry a Republican, George emerges to discover the wonders of family — and the results of his latest physical. Written by Brian Mitchell, the play is directed by Wes Ryan. Bryan Kirsch plays the cantankerous George, with Kiera Morgan in the role of Marie; his frequently flustered wife, who frets much better than she bakes. Ricky Ryan makes his stage debut as George’s shiftless, smart aleck son, Eric, while Karen Davis plays the couple’s love-struck daughter, Julie. Ren Jacob delivers a quite literally staggering performance as Julie’s new beau, Douglas; while Sherri Danielson takes the role of Kathy, the neighbor whose grip on reality seems to be loosening. Hailey Morris rounds out the cast as Sara,

one of George’s sociology students. The play runs through March 29, with performances at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and doors opening at 7:30 pm. On regular performance days, the box office is open at 2 pm at the theater, located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets for the show are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors aged 62 and up and students over 12; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation.
