Although the two men weren’t even eye twinkles when the finishing touches were being made to the property, the management team at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort brought on Executive Chef Joe Reid and Executive Sous Chef Doug Williams, both 32, with a clear purpose in mind. “For the first time in a long time, we have some of the brighter, younger minds in the kitchen,” said General Manager Jason Connor. “They have good pedigrees and good backgrounds; from a culinary perspective that’s big.” Chef Reid credits his successful partnership with Williams partially to the fact that, although they have different visions, they trained at the same time. “When I was coming up through school and working in kitchens, it was very different than it is now,” he said. “The generation that Doug and I are from is the last of the old-school style of training. We also fit together especially well because of our different visions; he’s the modernist and I’m the classical. It’s interesting to see that come together.” Those differences result in a collaborative approach to the menu. “The kitchen staff sits down together and we bounce flavors off of one another,” said Williams. “That’s how we set our menu. We’ll write “salmon” on the board for example and start throwing different ideas around; we might end up with salmon with peanut butter gastrique and sautéed pea shoots. Or we’ll decide to have an Oregon theme and start with hazelnuts and marionberries, and end up with a hazelnut crusted pork loin with a marionberry gastrique.” If you haven’t yet experienced the culinary trend of “molocular gastronomy,” where chefs use a little science to toy with traditional food items and produce new textures and flavours, the Dining Room at Salishan is just the place to do it. “We’re trying not to freak people out,” said Reid “We’re not Portland, and we know that, so even though we have elements of molecular gastronomy, it’s only small pieces here and there. We redid the ahi dish by adding a dashi jelly rolled in a nice spice; so it’s a little bit of the molecular gastronomy. Not enough that people will get freaked out by it, but it still makes us happy because we get to play with things.” Another example was served this past Valentine’s Day. “We did a compressed strawberry dried in an oven, it was served with frozen chocolate foam and strawberry caviar and people loved it. “ “A lot of things have changed since I started working here,” Williams said. “When I first started, the restaurant was more of a steakhouse. We’ve moved away from that towards a more Pacific Northwest seafood style; what people expect when they come to the coast. We have some things that have a Japanese influence, some that have a contemporary French influence. We’ve kept some things on the menu, though, like the Oysters Rockefeller; you have to keep the classics.” To keep things fresh, the menu changes four times a year. “We try to change our menus with the seasons as close as possible,” Reid said, “We cater our menu to what is growing. The Spring menu is my favorite; things start to get colorful again; I don’t believe in putting color on

Ahi with dashi jelly

plates just for the sake of it.” Williams said the daily specials are usually driven by what fresh items the venders have to offer. “Once we had a vendor that had wild boar,” he said. “So we served wild boar sausages with fiddlehead ferns, cornbread pudding and lingonberry sauce.” “Consistency is the biggest thing for us because a lot of our business is repeat business,” Reid said. “People have been coming here for Thanksgiving for generations for example, and if they are here one year with me and come back the next year, I want them to know what they are going to get, not necessarily the same item, but the same quality.” “We’re trying to move toward a more fine dining experience,” Connor said. “But we don’t want to sound pretentious and use those words because it scares people away. We keep things priced fairly so you can experiment with different things on the menu. People also associate the fine dining experience with a long drawn out meal, where you are sitting there for a minimum of two hours. That’s not us. We’re taking classical, regional, and what you can get in fresh; and putting a newer spin on it. We’ve had very positive feedback since we updated the Dining Room. But since we’re Salishan, our customers have choices. You don’t have to go to the Dining Room. For a more relaxed environment you can go to the Attic Lounge, or for a more family style meal, you can go to the Sunroom. We also have the grill and the deli across the highway. From a culinary perspective, if you didn’t want to leave the property, you wouldn’t have to. You can never be everything to everyone, but you can have something for everyone.” In some cases, having something for everyone goes beyond the printed menus. “We had some guests this last Valentine’s Day,” said Williams. “They drove two days to get here and said they came all the way out here for a halibut dish. Because we were serving a special pre fixe dinner, it wasn’t on the menu, but we made it for them anyway. We try not to say ‘no’ out here.” Salishan Spa & Golf Resort is five miles south of Lincoln City, in Gleneden Beach.

lively Build friendships – and biceps The OSU Extension Service in Tillamook is once again offering the “Strong Women Program,” a strength training program for middle-aged and older women, beginning the second week in April and running through the end of June. Developed at Tufts University, the program is based upon research that shows how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages — improving bone density, reducing falls, alleviating arthritis symptoms and increasing flexibility and strength. The program is taught in hour-long classes at two locations in Tillamook County. At the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook there are classes at 8 am and noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; and at 1:30 pm on Mondays and Fridays. The class also runs at the Netarts Community Center at 9 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Hand and ankle weights are provided. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes. Registration is required one week prior to the program. Classes are limited to 15 participants per session on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, participants must complete the required screening and enrollment forms and pay the $30 registration fee by April 1. All new participants who will be attending sessions at the OSU Extension Office must attend the mandatory orientation from 10:30-11:30 am on Monday, April 8. Women over age 70 or those with other chronic health conditions must obtain a release from their medical provider before beginning. Registration packets are available at the OSU Extension Service, 2204 Fourth Street in Tillamook, at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/ classes, or by calling 503-842-3433.

Break the tape, break the silence People looking for a reason to lace up their running shoes can help shed light on sexual assault by taking part in a 5k run/walk organized by the Siletz CARE Program for April 20. The program, which provides culturally specific advocacy services to Native American victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking in Lincoln County, has arranged the event to coincide with Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Everyone registering by Thursday, April 4, will receive a T-shirt and goody bag. Registration is $20 for people age 13 and older and $18 for those 12 and younger. Dogs can be registered for free with any participant and all dogs receive a bandana. The course will start and finish at the Siletz Valley School football field.

Weave got the perfect basket for you For those looking for a last-minute Easter basket, The Yachats Ladies Club’s 11th Annual Spring Bazaar amounts to something of a miracle. The bazaar, which runs for its third and final day on Saturday, March 30, offers unique, hand made gift items and a dizzying array of gift baskets for every occasion. Among these are Easter baskets for children of all ages, containing stuffed animals, candy and other treasures. Each year the club creates Easter baskets for the children residing at My Sisters’ Place, the domestic abuse shelter in Lincoln City. Bazaar guests can buy the baskets and club members will deliver them to the shelter.

This year, the club is also creating baskets to benefit the Yachats Library Summer Reading Program. Another famous attraction is the club’s Gifts-On-The-Go gift baskets — themed gift baskets designed to make giving fun and to mail easily. Held at the Yachats Ladies Clubhouse, the free bazaar also features items including journals, spring decor, beautiful and sturdy tote bags, wall hangings, small quilts, cards, bookmarks, aprons, afghans and knitwear from slippers to hats and scarves, vests and more. For the sewing enthusiast there will be a selection of unique pincushions. Unusual beaded jewelry will also be featured. All craft items are handmade by club members.

learn a little College springs into action

Meet the rainmaker

Tillamook Bay Community College has unveiled its range of courses for spring term and is encouraging students interested in both credit classes and continuing education to register soon. Spring term runs from April 1 to June 15 and includes courses ranging from computer technology to yoga and from dance to small engine maintenance. Become more comfortable using the applications on your computer, smartphone or tablet. Improve your health by learning techniques to relieve stress and improve flexibility. Gain sign language or Spanish language skills so you can interact with more people. Add some music to your life by taking a guitar class or the songwriting and composition class. Get active – learn to dance with your partner; take your dog to obedience training; learn how to fix a small engine or play volleyball. This term, in addition to the class for advanced players, there is a beginning volleyball class for those who want to learn the basic skills and rules of the game. Spring term is the only chance to catch the ballroom dance class taught by Wally & Diane Nelson. This term is also the only opportunity to take the songwriting and composition class taught by Dr. Nolan Stoltz, composer in residence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. The class will run on six Saturdays between April 6 and May 11. Community Education classes are offered as full term (10-11 weeks), short-term (2-6 weeks) or one day. For more details, check the schedule of classes, available at the college, 4301 Third Street, Tillamook; at the North County Recreation District, 36155 Ninth Street, Nehalem; at all branches of the Tillamook County Library; and online at www.TillamookBay.cc.

Rain gardens are becoming increasingly popular as an economical and environmentally friendly way to treat rain and stormwater, but how do you decide where to put one, what to plant in it and how to keep it working? To answer all these questions and more, the Devils Lake Water Improvement District has invited engineer Maria Cahill to give a free rain garden training session at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library on Saturday, March 30. Cahill, a consultant for Green Girl Land Development Solutions, is an engineer who emphasizes working with nature as opposed to working around it. In addition to being an engineering project consultant, she also holds regular trainings and is currently an instructor at Portland Community College. The 2-hour training will include interactive class time designed to introduce attendees to rain gardens — when and where to use them, planning, design, plant selection and maintenance. Cahill will then take the class into the field to lead a discussion and critique of the rain gardens at Regatta Park and Devils Lake State Recreation Area. Rain gardens require less piping and hard infrastructure, which make them positive alternative for municipalities. They are also an attractive option for the centerpiece of a residential yard. The training will run from 10 am-1 pm, with participants meeting at the library, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101. DLWID staff will also discuss the Save our Shorelines Program and other resources for attendees, such as free consultations, planning and plants. For more information and to RSVP, contact DLWID at SOS@dlwid.org or by phone at 541994-5330.

No bull at this class

Everything you always wanted to know about animals but were too afraid to ask will be up for discussion at a Saturday, April 6, class from OSU Extension Service in Tillamook. “All About Animals” will cover how to care, feed and show beef and dairy cows, swine, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, pigeons, poultry and rabbits. Animal experts will be presenting hands-on instruction on how to show animals and giving information on what tools or space are needed to successfully raise each species. This event, which is replacing current 4-H pre-fairs and clinics on livestock species, is open to all Tillamook County residents — youth and adult alike. Participants will get to pick two topics to attend. Participants planning on taking the dog session are welcome to bring their dog with a crate for learning purposes. There is a section for all participants to learn about large and small equipment identification as well as feed identification. The event will take place from 8 am to 4 pm in the new 4-H pavilion at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. There is no pre-registration. Just sign up the day. Participants can bring a sack lunch and concessions will be available for purchase. The day will conclude with free ice cream sundaes sponsored by the Tillamook Dairy Women Chapter. For more information, drop by the OSU Extension Service at 2204 Fourth Street in Tillamook, call 503-842-3433, or go to http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook.

Wood: knot to be underestimated To you it might just look like a regular two-by-four, but to the experts at Oregon State University it is a whole lot more. To them, wood is “a multilayered, lignocellulosic, visoelastic, thermoplastic, cellular material of biological origin that is both hygroscopic and anisotropic.” Clear? Of course not. But understanding what makes wood… well, wood, can help everyone from wood industry personnel to hobbyists understand how our favorite building material behaves during cutting, shaping and drying. To this end, the Tillamook County Extension Service Office is running a class entitled “Understanding Wood Behavior” on Wednesday, April 3. The class will run from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Tillamook County Extension Service Office, 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook. Students must register by Monday, April 1, and pay a $20 registration fee to cover the costs of handouts and refreshments. To register, stop by the extension service office or download a registration form at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/forestry-classes-amp-events For more information, contact Jim Reeb at Jim.Reeb@oregonstate.edu.

'RQ·W OHW WKH JUDVV JURZ XQGHU \RX Budding gardeners, cooks and crafters hoping to attend spring classes offered by OSU Extension Service heave been advised to register soon in order to secure places in the classes of their choice. Classes are scheduled to start April 27, with this year’s offerings including “Growing Succulents on the Coast,” “How to Use and Care for Tools Correctly” and “Extend the Growing Season.” Meanwhile, students interested in cooking can choose from “Making Mediterranean Food,” “Sunday Dinner Apple Pie” and “Homemade Condiments-Upscale Restaurant Style.” For crafters, there are two classes available: “Spring Flower Arranging” and “Learn to Make a Mosaic.” Students can register at the OSU Extension Service, 2204 4th Street, Tillamook.

Tying the knot, without a hitch Wedding show aims to remove roadblocks to a big day at the coast Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

With its crashing surf, breathtaking sunsets and romantic scenery, the Oregon Coast is unquestionably one of the best places in the world to pop the big question. Neskowin boasts a landmark called Proposal Rock and, in Lincoln City, the sand artists at the Inn at Spanish Head have a 100-percent success rate for the marriage proposals they inscribe on the beach for their dining guests 10 stories above. But while getting engaged at the Coast is dangerously easy, actually getting married here can be a little more tricky, with the nearest bridal store 60 miles away in the Valley. In order to help more couples realize their dream of tying the knot on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, event organizer Nichole Le Sage came up with Gone Coastal, a one stop shop for how to get hitched at the beach. “A lot of brides on the Coast have felt left out,” she said. “They feel they can’t have these weddings they see in the bridal magazines.” The event, to be held on Saturday, March 30, will see 22 vendors gather at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, giving prospective brides and grooms the chance to research every aspect of a coastal wedding — from where to get their hair done to where to rent tables and chairs. “So many people want to get married at the Coast,” Le Sage said, “but they are trucking in a tent or bringing in — from Salem — chairs because they don’t know where to get them here.” All but one of the show’s vendors are from the Oregon Coast with the exception being David’s Bridal of Keizer, the nearest bridal shop. Services represented at the show will include make up artists, hairstylists, bakers, DJs, photographers and companies that rent everything from chairs to wedding Erica Ann Photography archways. Caterers will also be on hand to show off their handiwork with free samples. “These are real women that are going to be wearing these gowns.” For couples that would like Now in its second year, Gone Coastal is timed to capitalize on the number someone else to deal with the of people who get engaged on Valentine’s Day and are now turning their organizational headaches, there will WHAT: Gone Coastal thoughts to planning the big day.

The 10th annual PaciďŹ c City

The sources of spring A time for rebirth, a time to clean house or just a time to start thinking about drying out on the Oregon Coast, Spring means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Images and memorabilia of spring and spring holidays are on exhibit now through June at the Burrows House Museum of the Lincoln County Historical Society in Newport. The display includes hats, shoes, photos of spring and a range of postcards featuring rabbits, eggs and birds. “It might be raining outside, Historical Society Executive Director Steve Wyatt said, “but this display will brighten your day.� The passage of the cold and dark of winter to the brightness of spring has been cause for celebration for thousands of years. The ancient Saxons of northern Germany celebrated spring’s return with a riotous festival of fertility. In the second century, Christian missionaries, wishing to convert the Saxons, added their sacred traditions to the pagan festivals. The result was Easter, the Christian celebration of the resurrection. The springtime Jewish festival of Passover commemorates the story of the Exodus in which the ancient Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. The Easter Bunny originated with the celebration of the goddess Eastre, worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through the earthly rabbit. Germans brought the symbol to America, but it was not until after the Civil War that Easter became widely celebrated in the United States. The exchange of eggs in the spring was already a centuries-old custom when Easter was first celebrated. The date of Easter relates to the equinox, evoking images of birth and rebirth such as birds and flowers. The Burrows House Museum is located at 545 SW 9th Street, Newport, and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

The Celts want you in the clan You don’t have to be from the old country, have flowing ginger locks or even to have kissed the Blarney Stone to be on the list of people that the Celtic Heritage Alliance would like to hear from as they gear up for the Newport Celtic Festival & Highland Games. The nonprofit group is hosting volunteer meetings for anyone who wants to help out at the event, which runs from June 7 to 9 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. The games are the centerpiece event for the group, which aims to preserve Celtic culture on the Oregon Coast through education, workshops, musical performances and traditional competitions such as athletics, music and dance. Volunteer meetings will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 pm on Monday, April 1, and Monday, May 6, in the McEntee Meeting Room of the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Attendees will meet past volunteers, receive an activities overview and orientation and will be personally trained by individual team leaders.  For more information, go to www.newportcelticfestival.com or contact Volunteer Team Leader Rebecca Cohen at volunteer@newportcelticfestival.com.

Rock-away beach Pacific City’s priceless landmark finds a buyer Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

For as long as there have been visitors to the Oregon Coast, people have stared in awe at Haystack Rock just offshore from Pacific City. The majestic basalt monolith was formed roughly 16 million years ago and stands 340 feet tall, like a dutiful sentry, constant and unmoving. Until now. “It’s pretty, there’s no denying that, but it’s just a darn nuisance,” said Craig Wenrick of the Pacific City-based Dorymen’s Association. “The sooner it’s out of the way, the better as far as I’m concerned.” And Wenrick will soon get his wish thanks to a deal struck between his association and a cohort of local surfers, who also want to see the rock shipped out. Jeff Mollencop, owner of Moment Surf Company, said the rock’s presence prevents the best waves from reaching what would otherwise be a prime surfing spot right in font of the Pelican Pub & Brewery. “It’s a total buzz-kill,” he said. “If it weren’t for that thing, we could have a surf contest to rival the Nelscott Reef Big Jeff Mollencop, Darron Welch and Craig Wenrick Wave Classic in Lincoln City. It’s got to go for the good of flesh out their plan to dislodge the rock the local economy.” Wenrick agreed, saying the Haystack poses a serious risk to share a small section of beach that perfectly suits both their to navigation for Pacific City’s fleet of dory boats, the distincneeds have created the kind of tensions familiar to any close tive, flat-bottomed fishing vessels that can only land on a handneighbors. But the desire to shift Haystack Rock has brought ful of beaches on the West Coast. the two groups together to achieve their goal. “I’ve lost count of the number of near misses we’ve had,” The shared desire to get rid of the rock emerged last he said. “Especially in summer when the fog is real thick. spring, when Mollencop visited the Pelican We’ve had folks almost run into it on the way out in Pub & Brewery for a post-surf pint and the morning as well - so it’s not just the guys that are overheard Wenrick complaining about coming back in after a long day’s fishing.” a colleague who had sideswiped the The surfers and the dorymen of Pacific City Haystack while coming back in to shore have not always seen eye to eye. Years of trying earlier that day.

The pair got talking and began to swap stories. Just as the litany of complaints reached a crescendo, the Pelican’s Brewmaster Darron Welch walked by, overheard the conversation and dropped a bombshell. “Haystack Rock?” he said. “We own that.” Welch told the pair that, in preparing for the brewery’s expansion to Tillamook, he had been reviewing the deeds to all the Pelican Brewing company’s real estate. “It was the weirdest thing,” Welch said. “I had literally

on the cover

just finished filing the last of the title deeds in the office, which showed that the brewery owns all the land up to and including Haystack Rock. Then I came out into the restaurant to hear these two saying they would like to see the rock gone. I thought to myself ‘someone’s trying to tell us something here.’� With a $1.3-million brewery expansion to fund, Welch decided to see whether there was a way to turn the Haystack into greenbacks. “It didn’t take long to find a buyer,� he said “The City of Cannon Beach was my first call and they leapt at the chance. I got the feeling that they’ve always been envious of our Haystack Rock, because it’s about a hundred feet taller than theirs.� That height difference turns out to be central to the Cannon Beach’s plans for the Haystack, which they plan to tow into place a few hundred yards from their existing rock. The City then plans to run a zip line between the two - offering a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone from adrenalin junkies to birdwatchers. Once the purchase price was settled, there remained just one problem, how to transport the massive chuck of rock 60 miles north. That’s where Wenrick’s maritime connections came in handy. “I used to fish with a guy who did some work on the Glomar Explorer, you know, that enormous ship built by Howard Hughes in the ’60s?� Wenrick said. “It’s as long as two football fields so I thought ‘if anything can shift that rock, it’s the Glomar.’� The Glomar Explorer became famous for its role in the

1974 Project Azorian, a covert mission to raise the sunken Soviet submarine K-129 and retrieve nuclear secrets. “Operation Haystack,� will be the first high-profile job in many years for the gargantuan vessel, since retrofitted as a deep-sea drilling ship. When the operation goes ahead, on Monday, April 1, crews will use high-explosive charges to sever the rock at a point 25 feet below the water’s surface before loading the iconic landmark aboard for the journey north. The trio of Wenrick, Mollencop and Welch kept their plans under wraps until the last minute to avoid any pushback from the local community but maintain that, with the rock gone, life will be better for everyone in Pacific City. “Aside from being a hassle for the surfers and the dorymen, it just kind of gets in the way of the view,� Welch said. “I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had customers all geared up for a beautiful sunset only to see the sun disappear behind that rock. It’s such a bust for folks that come a long way to see the ocean.� Meanwhile, Mollencop is most excited about the new wave that will appear, with the remains of the rock’s foundation acting as an unusually short and high reef. “It’s going to make a wave unlike anywhere else in the world,� he said. “It will be short, fast and intense. We’re going to call it the Needle in the Haystack.�

“Operation Haystack� is scheduled to go ahead on Monday, April 1, with the Glomar Explorer pulling into position next to the rock at about 9 am. Spectators are advised to bring safety goggles to avoid injury from any shards of basalt that might be propelled toward shore when the rock is severed.

Maybe it’s something about the Oregon Coast air that brings magicians to Lincoln City in spring. No sooner will the town have recovered from the five-day Festival of Illusions during Spring Break than comedian and magician Brad Bonar Jr. will headline two nights of Comedy on the Coast at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Bonar’s act mixes up-close illusions with observational comedy about family life, inspired by his four children. He promises an act that starts with audiences staring at him like deer in headlights out of sheer amazement and leaves them laughing so hard their faces hurt. Supporting Bonar will be international comedy club circuit veteran Kat Simmons and Dave Mencarelli, who describes himself as “acerbic, smart and of average height.â€? Simmons is a regular cast member of “The Three Blonde Momsâ€? and a recurring guest on the blog talk radio show “Thrive Teachers,â€? with a segment called “Laugh It Off With Kat Simmons.â€? She won the eWomen Network’s international talent contest in Dallas in 2009. Meanwhile, Mencarelli promises an act filled with quirky wit, low self-esteem and mild narcissism, that includes stories about his mom and dad’s unconventional parenting techniques along with his own “adventuresâ€? raising kids. He’ll also unload about some of things that get under his skin, like less-than-truthful Internet dating profiles, women’s magazines and breast enhancement surgery. The show will begin at 8 pm at the casino, 1777 NW 44th Place, on both Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6, with doors opening at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15 and all guests must be 21 or over. For tickets or further information, call the Chinook Winds box office at 1-888-MAINACT (624-6228) or go to www.chinookwindscasino.com.

Finding a voice Singer/songwriter Anne Waters brings her Beatnik style to Lincoln City Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

While Albert Einstein proved that a little German could change the way we view the universe, musician Anne Waters is proof that a little French can change a life. Waters, who will play at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, April 4, says a collegelevel French class opened the door to a new life in Canada and, later, a spell as a performer in Holland. Born in Denver, Waters’ love of acoustic guitar began at an early age during summers spent with the family in Grand Lake, Colo., a mountain resort in the Rockies. At the age of 13, she heard guitar veterans like Johnny Winter and Stephen Stills playing long instrumental solos around the fire in the lodge. “I just made a vow to myself that I wanted some day to be able to play for hours on end and not repeat the same melody,� WHAT: Anne Waters she said. WHERE: Lincoln City Waters spent the rest of her teens learning how to play, movCultural Center, 540 NE ing on to study at Colorado State University, where she picked Hwy. 101, Lincoln City up the all-important French class that would be her ticket out WHEN: 7 pm, Thursday, of a local music scene that she found uninspiring. April 4 “I got really tired of playing bars,� she said. “I heard about COST: $10 in advance/ $12 this coffee house scene in Vancouver.� on the door With no real job skills, no stacks of cash to invest and no family in Canada, Waters’ chances of making it across the 49th CALL: 541-994-9994 parallel were pretty slim, until the immigration service saw that she was bilingual and decided she made the cut. In 1970, on her 20th birthday, she began a new life in Vancouver, British Columbia, finding an instant niche as the only woman playing on the city’s coffee house circuit. Waters won friends by inviting male musicians to play alongside her and splitting the night’s proceeds with them. Her aptitude for striking up friendships with fellow musicians led to her life taking another dramatic change of direction in 1972 after meeting a Dutch guitarist at the May Day concert in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. He was a regular performer on the music circuit in

If you go

Amsterdam and suggested that the two of them trade places. From 1972 to ’73, Waters performed for all types of audiences in all kinds of Dutch venues, from barns in little villages with a crowd of 30 to a gargantuan Amsterdam coffee house that sat 3,000. “I never knew who I was going to be playing for,� she said. While an agent booked all her gigs, Waters said the fact that so many Netherlanders spoke French as their second language meant she was able to get around and deal with last-minute changes. After her time in Amsterdam, Waters returned to British Columbia, this time to the interior, to build a cabin and a family with her partner. The marriage did not last and, in 1988, she became a full-time teacher, using music to help teach everything from verb conjugation to multiplication tables. “No matter what you do in other parts of your life, it always serves to further your music,� she said. Among the experiences that shaped Waters’ music were the tragic deaths of two of her four children during infancy, events she said profoundly altered her identity. “That changes your sense of time,� she said. “That changes your sense of everything.� As a teacher, Waters visited Quebec several times to attend French immersion classes and, after retirement in 2005, moved to the city to work as a street performer. After being told by all her fellow buskers that she needed to have a CD in order to make money playing on the street, she went to Mazatlan, Mexico, and locked herself in a room to create her solo album “The voice I listen to� “Music goes from the heart of the singer to the soul of the listener,� she said, adding: “As a writer, when you go to the quiet place, to that place where ideas are being formed and you are getting this almost transcendental information — if you can be quiet enough to record that in words, I think that is what the listener is hearing and that’s what’s so magical.� Since cutting her CD, Waters has been traveling and playing wherever she can — at open mic events and even in a hardware store and having adventures along the way.

beach reads

Get well versed for National Poetry Month

There is a small town called Manzanita, Where everyone is so glad to meet ya, Of all the towns on the Oregon Coast, It has so much of which to boast, You could truly say no place is neater. That is the extent of the poetry skills on display here at TODAY towers. But, those looking for a higher standard of verse should make time for the Beach and Bay Poetry Workshops to be held in Manzanita on April 6 and 7. Timed to coincide with National Poetry Month, the workshops are presented by the Manzanita Writers’ Series and the Bay City Arts Center. Two workshops and a public poetry reading will take place at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue, on Saturday, April 6. Cost is $30 per workshop or $50 for both. In the morning, from 10 am to noon, poet Stephanie Lenox will present “Other Shoes,� a workshop to help writers learn to embody the voices of their characters. This workshop is for poets of all levels, as well as fiction writers interested

in developing authentic characters through poetic experimentation. Lenox’s chapbook, “The Heart That Lies Outside the Body,� won the 2007 Slapering Hol Chapbook Contest. She received fellowships from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Oregon Arts Commission and recently published a full-length collection of poetry, “Congress of Strange People. �In the afternoon, from 1 to 3 pm, poet John Morrison will present the workshop “Re-Vision.� Geared to the practicing poet, the class will teach how to take a shimmering first draft, or a cranky problem child, to a deeper level. Participants will study and apply both radical and pragmatic principles of Re-Vision to see their work in a fresh way and follow drafts to new discoveries. Students should bring a draft that’s stuck or a finished poem that might yet have another life; as well as a notebook and pen. Morrison has taught poetry for the University of Alabama, Washington State University and the Literary Arts Writers in the Schools program. His book, “Heaven of the Moment,� was a finalist for the 2008 Oregon Book Award in poetry. At 3:30 pm, Lenox and Morrison will read from their own poetry, followed by a Community Open Mic. The event is free to workshop participants and $7 to non-workshop attendees. On Sunday, April 7, the action shifts to Bay City and the Scrumptious Lunch and Poetry Open Mic at the Bay City Arts Center at noon. All poets, student poets, wannabe poets, and those who think they don’t “get� poetry are encouraged to attend this community celebration of the oldest written form. Nancy Slavin, local writer and poet, will host the event, which also will include brief writing prompts for the launching of new poems. Door prizes and copious applause will be given to those who read their new work at the Open Mic. Lunch is by-donation. The arts center is located on the corner of 5th and A Streets in Bay City. For more information, email Slavin at nancyslavin@mail.tillamookbay.cc or call the Bay City Arts Center at 503 377 9620. To register for the workshops call 503-3683846 or go to hoffmanblog.org and click on the Workshops category.

artsy Arts guild lunch The Coastal Arts Guild (CAG) will welcome quilter Gloria Zirges as the guest speaker at its April 4 lunch at the Newport Visual Arts Center. “I’ve been sewing all my life,” Zirges said. “I was initially taught basic sewing by my mother and then started quilting in the ’70s, using quilt blocks and later enjoying creative pictorial quilt techniques.” As a member of the Oregon Coastal Quilting Guild, Zirges continues to learn other quilting techniques from other members and workshop events, and has won several prizes for her work. During her presentation, Zirges will display two quilts: “The Rooster” and “Here Comes the Sun,” showing a variety of quilting techniques including watercolor quilting, which uses small pieces of fabric of gradating colors to create a wash. She will discuss other quilting techniques as well. The lunch will take place from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the visual arts center, 777 NW Beach Drive, Newport. For more information and an invitation to attend the lunch call CAG member Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Terry Brady at 541-265-2621. To learn more about the Coastal Arts Guild, a volunteer program to staff OCCA’s Newport Visual Arts Center and serve the art community of Lincoln County, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624, or Mary Peterson at 541-574-8221. The Coastal Arts Guild welcomes new members.

Art association sale The Yaquina Art Association is holding an arts and crafts show from Friday, March 29, to Sunday, March 31, selling framed and unframed art as well as art supplies and photographic equipment.

Items donated by previous artists will include photographic equipment and old enlargers. As in previous years, there will be baked goods for sale as well as hot dogs and chili. Another tradition that accompanies the show is the opportunity for kids to create melted crayon images. The sale will run from 10 am to 5 pm at the center, 777 NW Beach Drive, Newport. The association will also have arts and crafts available for sale next door at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery located at 789 NW Beach Drive in Newport.

Still blowing — and growing Since it opened in 2005, the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio in Lincoln City has been a lot like a restaurant where award-winning chefs whip up tantalizing creations before diners’ eyes but have to send them round the corner when they get hungry. While the Lincoln City Glass Center, Inc., group that operates the studio was able to let people blow their own glass floats, paperweights and ornaments, a clause in their contract with their City landlord prevented them from selling pre-made glass pieces on the premises. Instead, visitors had to go outside and walk across Highway 101 to the company’s Volta studio to see what was on offer. Those days are now over. Thanks to a recent change in the contact and a subsequent remodel, visitors can now watch the glass blowers in action in the studio and shop for glass in an adjacent gallery. “It’s exciting to see it come together,” said glass studio artist Kelly Howard. “It is a beautiful space. The presence of a person working in the gallery space will make the studio even friendlier to visitors. I hope this will give visitors the chance to talk to someone who can explain how the classes work and also about the process of how things are made, which is sometimes difficult to do while in the middle of making something or instructing others.” The studio is located at 4821 SW Hwy. 101 and open from 10 am to 6 pm, Wednesday to Sunday. To schedule a glass blowing session, call 541-996-2569.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

Stories of Driftlogs I

emerged from the Necarney Creek Trail at Oswald West State Park and beheld on the beach the largest driftlog I have ever seen in my life. It was gargantuan, antediluvian, a creature, a kraken that I dearly wanted to tame, toss a saddle across and ride the snake to the lake in Atlantis. Where did this wonder of the watershed come from? Where is it going? Will it outlast my immature country and its paranoid citizenry that can’t see the writing on the wall because they’re too busy watching television or idolizing the Second Amendment? I could not believe the size of this behemoth and it instantly triggered a little creative game of Sherlock Holmes. This game is afoot whenever Sonny the husky and I ramble down Oregon’s socialist beaches and encounter a mysterious driftlog that cries out for inspection and introspection. Deduction leads to imagination. Imagination foments story. Story veers to journalism or fiction. The result is a parlor game on the beach that leads to entertainment of the best kind — free of charge, entirely self-invented, ecological and non-competitive. Try it yourself. I developed an inquiry/storytelling exercise involving driftlogs that I frequently employ with my creative writing students whenever we happen to find ourselves on the beach, which isn’t nearly enough in a teaching world gone mad with testing. The exercise can go fiction or non-fiction, linear or tangential. Prose or poetry. Whatever direction the students take it, invariably the outcome is exciting and utterly cliché-free. When you discover a mysterious piece of driftwood, start asking questions of it:

• Is it cut? Sawed? • What kind of saw? • Was it cut well or poorly? • Who cut it down? • Was part of it milled? • Is there graffiti or etchings? • Did these markings originate with love or hate? • Barnacles? • How smooth is the wood? • Any bark left? • Is the rootwad intact? • What was this driftlog’s journey to this beach? • Are their burn marks? • Who were the people who used it for fire? • Was it part of a fort? • Is the wood indigenous? • Is the wood valuable? • Could this driftlog kill? Has it killed? • What’s its name? Once you answer these questions, with fact or fiction, some kind of interesting story will emerge. You can tell it around a campfire or write it up later. Or just keep it to yourself and ward off Alzheimer’s. Should you choose to compose a poem or story, send it along to me with a photograph of your driftlog.
