From fakery to bakeries
F Assistant editor Quinn samples the goods at Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry
ake news has gotten a bad rap over the past year. The once-proud tradition of cooking up large helpings of utter nonsense in honor of April Fool’s Day has been sullied by an election that tested the wildest imaginations of a horde of basementdwelling Macedonians, tasked with dreaming up increasingly unbelievable stories to pepper the newsfeeds of credulous voters. Hopefully voters within the Depoe Bay city limits will prove more discerning when reading this week’s front-page feature about plans to postpone the August 21 total solar eclipse in order to protect the eyes of
our gray whale population. I know they’re mammals, but something just seems fishy there. But one story from this week’s edition that you can take to the bank is our piece about the inaugural Fool’s Day Cabaret at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. A fund-raiser for the Lincoln City Warming Shelter, this evening combines a vibrant variety show and live music from an elegant jazz trio with a tasty treat of raspberry fool. With acts including veteran storyteller Elizabeth Black, juggler extraordinaire Max

from the editor Johnson and even a song or two from cultural center Executive Director Niki Price, this is an evening not to be missed. Guests will also get to share their favorite joke in an introvert-friendly joke contest, and take home a gourmet dessert by placing a winning bid in the Cream Pie Silent Auction. The pies on offer include creations donated by some of the coast’s finest bakeries. So please join us for an evening of foolishness and fund-raising to help make our community just a little warmer for those in need. See story, page 5

A foolish, delish, pie-dish event Tremendous talent, foolish fun and delightful desserts will come together this Saturday, April 1, in the ďŹ rstever Fools’ Day Cabaret at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This inaugural and possibly one-time-only evening event will serve up a smorgasbord of songs, dances, tricks, jokes, skits and music — all accompanied by a delicious dessert of raspberry fool. Beer and wine will also be available to buy. Coastal jazz trio Rick DiBlasi, Rick LeDoux and Peter Hinsbeeck will provide the soundtrack to the evening, performing a host of hits as well as providing accompaniment to the acts on stage. And in a salute to slapstick, guests will get the chance to bid on a range of gourmet cream pies, each donated by local restaurants and far too delicious to waste on throwing. These decadent desserts will make their triumphant arrival via the Cream Pie Catwalk, with glowing introductions from the master of ceremonies. Among the bakers donating their creations to the cause are Hearth & Table, Vivian’s Restaurant, Depoe Baykery, My Petite Sweet, Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry, The Side Door CafĂŠ and The Red Roof. Guests will also be invited to step into the spotlight themselves by telling their favorite joke for a chance at winning a movie-themed gift basket. The comedy contest also oers an introvertfriendly option, inviting shy guests to write their joke down and submit it along with some folding money to be read by a proxy. The Fools’ Day Cabaret will take place on Saturday, April 1, starting at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101.

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y L O R I T O B I A S
THE PLEDGE Today, for what might be the first time since Girl Scouts, I took a pledge. It involves the simple promise to join other writers in supporting each other. A given, right? Not necessarily. I think you have to be a little naïve to pursue the writing life. Continuous rejection and disappointment are the norm. Writing calls for an inordinate amount of time alone and on the days when the words refuse to come, or come, but not in any way you can cheer, it’s not long before the insecurity, doubts and sense of failure roll in. Some writers get by with the help of other writers. They support, encourage, offer constructive (hopefully) criticism and generally refuse to let you quit. That is — and I know how harsh this is going to sound — as long as everyone is experiencing rejection together. Success has a way of changing the dynamic, of opening the door to that green-eyed partner we’ve all courted. I’m no different. I remember when a friend found an agent and then a publisher, and oh, the envy. But I was happy for her, too. She did it. She managed what the rest of us had not, and didn’t that also mean there was hope? For all of us? After “Wander” found a home, I was overwhelmed by the genuine happiness for me. But I was also sucker punched by those who claimed to share my joy, but soon bowed out of my life. One friend, someone with whom I’ve shared decades of writing woes and joys, no longer responds to my emails; another has stopped inviting me to the gatherings we once regularly shared. And a third very dear friend of 20-odd years was genuinely thrilled for me, but recently admitted — not unkindly, but simply honestly — that she feared she’d lost her zest for writing due to the envy she felt over my success. It stung, not because there was any ill intent, but because I wanted her along for the ride and I wanted her to continue to believe it would happen for her. But the truth is, perseverance in a world of rejection and disappointment can feel like an impossible task. So when Laura Stanfill, former editor of Lincoln City newspaper The News Guard and founder of Forest Avenue Press, mentioned she was forming the Main Street Writers Movement to encourage other writers to support each other, I got it. As
Laura Stanfill and Forest Avenue Press author Renee Macalino Rutledge
a publisher and novelist herself, Stanfill has seen what can happen to writers when the community lets them down. “Part of my drive to connect writers is how many misconceptions are out there about what it means to be a success in the literary world,” says Stanfill. “What is initially a private, solitary occupation becomes a public one the moment a book hits the shelves, and that’s where art smashes up against commerce. Comparison can be really useful in terms of trying to understand the market, and why a particular book did well and what ‘well’ even means, but it can also be devastating for writers who have their souls wrapped up in their work and feel like their souls aren’t as important, or aren’t as good, as their friends’ souls. And that’s dangerous and devastating, and that’s part of why I started the Main Street Writers Movement, to encourage writers to celebrate each other instead of competing. It’s a different way of looking at it — feeding into the joy instead of feeding on the ‘why not me?’ sore feelings.”
Stanfill launched the movement barely a month ago, but already she’s seeing the impact. When a publisher and an author, both from Ann Arbor, separately contacted Stanfill, she connected them. They are now friends and supporters of each other’s work. She’s had people take the pledge from all over the country and even as far away as London, and naturally, has a strong base here in Oregon, where Main Street Writers is based. “What I want to do is encourage writers to celebrate each other and to honor each other’s successes and efforts, so we’re all stronger and less lonely,” she said. “By talking about the market and sharing stories, writers start to feel better about themselves. We are better and happier when we are allies for each other.” Likewise, I believe we are bigger and better people when we surround ourselves with the same. You don’t have to be a writer to take the pledge. So come, go to forestavenue.com, and sign up. Writers everywhere will thank you. And so will I.

Carla Perry’s “Riva” makes world debut in Newport By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY Photos by Chris Graamans or the countless children and adults who have endured life as abused, tormented, injured and invisible — this story is for you. New Vision Arts, originated by longtime thespians Marc Maislen and Mary Eastman, presents the world debut of Carla Perry’s “Riva Beside Me” at the Newport Performing Arts Center this Friday, March 31. “Riva” is the personal story of pain, loss, love and freedom crafted by Newport author Perry, published by Dancing Moon Press in 2012.

Grace Burns is Riva’s friend and classmate, Sara, liberation; celebrating the power of the human spirit. The time who enjoys a more sophisticated life. Burns is well cast and there is 1963 in the heyday of a colorful and eclectic New York City. are some excellent scenes with the struggling Riva. Baby boomers will remember the climate of civil unrest, coupled Pete Theodore, a seasoned veteran, conveys humor, kindness, with the Generation Gap and a budding peace movement. Social and a sense of mystery in his role as “The Other,” Riva’s Guardian and cultural mores had not yet evolved; limiting opportunities and Angel. He is onstage frequently, gently guiding the storyline, yet equality for girls and women. invisible to the other characters. Theodore, as Nestled in an upscale Manhattan always, is exceptional. brownstone is Riva Sarno, a teenage girl so Reconstructing the novel into theatrical fractured by physical and emotional abuse form was a collaborative effort that took a year she can barely speak, uttering cryptic word for playwrights Carla Perry, Sarah Gayle, KE fragments.

The adults also have extremely difficult roles and have worked hard to get them right. This is a bright, talented group of actors who have endeavored to portray these characters with clarity.” Riva is portrayed by Quitze Rose Pilling, who tenderly takes the audience on a painful journey of her fractured psyche. Pilling is masterful in speaking the broken, syllabic, stuttering voice of young Riva. Drake Simon is the hero, a tender young knight Richard Marvel. He gently, patiently helps Riva recognize her self worth, encourages her to speak real words, and pinpoints the cycle of abuse that Riva endures. Simon is remarkable in this pivotal role, a fine actor. The actors who play Riva’s parents, Tavi and Leo, are CJ McCarty and Ram Papish. They know how to deliver. Tavi is a cold, critical, sour, heartless woman and CJ brings her to life, giving a stunning performance. Leo is degraded by life, irritable and disengages from his family. Papish nails this character, a tough job for any seasoned actor. Riva’s brother, Jacob, is well played by Leo Johns, who portrays a mean-spirited bully with perfection. Younger sister Lilith is

HANGING OUT IN NEWPORT
Registration is now open for the spring session of Newport’s Art Fridays youth-arts program, which will see students craft their own entries for the annual Nye Beach Banner Project. Sponsored by the Nye Beach Merchants Association, the project invites artists from throughout the community to create banners for display on light poles around the historic neighborhood from spring through fall. Newport artist Eileen Hearne will serve as instructor for the three-part class, which has 10 spots available for students working in teams of two. Students will work with oils and pastels and mixed media to create works that reflect neighborhood themes — planning, designing and executing artwork on a canvas banner. Classes will be held on April 7, 14 and 28 from 3:45 to 5:45 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The registration fee for the series is $36, and students must sign up for all three classes. Some scholarships are available. Classes are geared toward 5th to 8th graders, though, upon consultation, younger and older students are welcome. Proceeds from the Nye Beach Banner Auction, held in November, support youth-arts programming through the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. For more information and to register, call 541-265-6569 or email artslearning@coastarts.org.
Learn a bunch, at arts lunch The Coastal Arts Guild will welcome Newport newcomer Marcy Kenyon as the guest speaker at its Thursday, April 6, luncheon, for a presentation on her love of drawing. A native Chicagoan, Kenyon earned a BFA in printmaking from Tyler School of Fine Art in Philadelphia before moving to New York City, where she earned her MFA at Hunter College. In the Bronx, she
taught art, science and sustainability to grade school
students while tending a children’s edible garden. Inspired by her experiences as a teacher and gardener, she went on to study botanical illustration at the New York Botanic Garden to learn the technical rigor of analyzing a plant specimen and faithfully recording her observations in colored pencil and watercolor. Kenyon’s perfect day begins with yoga, walking her dog, finding a new specimen and
drawing for hours at home. The native plants of the Oregon Coast are becoming a focal point of her next works as she cultivates her new home garden in Nye Beach. The luncheon will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and is open to all those interested in the arts. For more information or an invitation to attend, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624.

It needs cleaning,
FINDING A SHADY SPOT Siletz clean it. The Siletz Watershed Council is looking for volunteers to help with a Saturday, April 8, cleanup of the Siletz River that will see helpers working in drift boats as well as walking the riverbanks. Starting at Hee Hee Illahee Park in Siletz, the event will offer free food, prizes and good times from 9 am to 2 pm. Last year, more than 20 volunteers and five drift boats collected more than 1,000 pounds of trash from the river. Garbage bags and work gloves will be provided by SOLVE. Registration with coffee and donuts will start a bit before 9 am, and the event
will wrap up at 2 pm with a lunch of chili, hot dogs, sodas and other snacks. Cleanup volunteers will also get to enter a raffle for a chance to win great prizes. Hee Hee Illahee Park is located at Highway 229 and Gaither Street at the south entrance to Siletz. Volunteers should bring waterproof boots or waders and dress in layers. To register, go to http:// solveoregon.org/get-involved/ events/siletz-river-cleanup. For more information, contact Evan Hayduk at 541-265-9195 or evan@ midcoastwatershedscouncil. org.
In preparation for this summer’s total solar eclipse, the Siuslaw National Forest has begun accepting reservations for private vehicle access to key viewing areas on Marys Peak and Mt. Hebo. The high meadows of Marys Peak and Mt. Hebo, both fall within the ‘path of totality’ — the swathe of land where viewers will witness the total eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. For Marys Peak, private vehicle access on the day of the eclipse will be by reservation only, with parking permits available for three parking areas. Access
to the small Marys Peak Campground will be limited to Forest Service and emergency services staff and volunteers assisting with the event. The road up Marys Peak will remain open to bicycles, though cyclists should anticipate significant congestion on area roads. Forest officials are also preparing to issue a special use permit to an outdoor event organizer to operate a shuttle to Marys Peak on the day of the eclipse, as well as to provide a range of camping opportunities and enhanced visitor services on the peak. For Mt. Hebo, private vehicle access
the day of the eclipse will also be by reservation only, with parking permits available for two parking areas. Access will also be open to those arriving by foot and bicycle, though trailhead access may be unavailable or extremely limited. The current order prohibiting camping on Mt. Hebo to protect fragile meadows will continue to be in place during the eclipse. For more information on viewing the eclipse on the Siuslaw National Forest, contact Lisa Romano, public affairs officer, at 541-750-7075, or go to http:// go.usa.gov/x9uGb.

Depoe Bay postpones solar eclipse on safety grounds Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
Above: Depoe Bay Mayor Barbara Leff bangs the gavel on her controversial executive order to postpone the Aug. 21 solar eclipse for at least 12 months.
Right: The postponement has left local merchant Bill Spores fuming and knee-deep in Ramen noodles
Below: Leff readies her latest prototype for whale-sized eclipse-viewing glasses
With a sturdy bang of her gavel, Depoe Bay Mayor Barbara Leff has set her tiny municipality on a collision course with the solar system — declaring that the muchanticipated total solar eclipse scheduled for Monday, Aug. 21, will be postponed for at least 12 months. “I know a lot of people will be disappointed,” she said, “but we have to put safety first and we are just not ready for this.” The first total solar eclipse to hit the continental US in 38 years was expected to draw huge crowds to Depoe Bay — the closest city to Boiler Bay, where the moon’s shadow was set to make landfall at 10:15 am. Viewers at that spot would have found themselves smack dab in the center of the coveted path of totality — enjoying nearly two minutes of history-making darkness. For months, officials at cities along the coast have wrestled with the prospect of how to prepare for thousands of eclipse visitors and the anticipated impact on everything from traffic to cell phone coverage and even wastewater treatment. And while Leff, who also serves on the board of the local fire and rescue district, has been at the center of those discussions, her reasons for postponing the event center on safety at sea rather than on land. “I want at least a 12-month postponement to let the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport do some research to see if they can protect the eyes of our beloved whale population,” she said. “We have been unable to find eclipse glasses that will fit on

them without sliding off.” Whales are Depoe Bay’s second claim to fame, with visitors flocking year after year to watch the annual gray whale migrations as well as to observe the behavior of a roughly 200-strong population that stays in the area throughout the summer. Gray whales are renowned for their curiosity and Leff said the celestial disturbance is bound to draw the attention of these much-loved leviathans, prompting them to look directly at the sun and risk permanent damage to their eyes. “These whales are a natural wonder as well as a valuable visitor attraction that keep people coming back year after year,” Leff said. “In an abundance of caution, we want to absolutely assure that they are not traumatized or hurt in any way.” The decision to postpone the eclipse has divided the small harbor town. Among those supporting Leff ’s action is Captain Carrie Newell of Eco-Excursions Northwest, which offers a range of whale watching trips. “It’s a double-edged sword for me,” Newell said. “I had every single boat fully booked with eclipse watchers, but the risk of having a pod of blinded whales charging about in the bay is just too great. All it would take is one collision and we’d be on the evening news for all the wrong reasons.” But Leff ’s decision has left merchants like Bill Spores fuming. Spores, owner of the What-Not Shop and Pacific Brass & Copper Works, has transformed both stores into eclipse provision depots, packed with everything that locals and visitors could possibly need to get through
the busiest Monday in the coast’s history. “It’s crazy to put this thing off — even for a day,” Spores said. “People have their vacations planned, their hotels booked — and I have half a million packs of Ramen noodles that I have to shift.” Spores also lamented that Leff ’s postponement would make his 100,000 pairs of souvenir eclipse glasses worthless. “They have ‘Depoe Bay, 2017’ written on the side of them,” Spores said. “If Madame Mayor wants to go through with this nonsense, I’ll expect her to come around with a Sharpie and change them all to 2018; that’s assuming she doesn’t want to change to the location of the darn thing, too.” The exact authority by which Leff ordered the postponement is also under question, with the mayor forgoing a council vote and choosing instead to act by executive order. “I just thought that was the way we were doing things these days,” Leff said defiantly. As for the mechanics of actually slowing the various orbits that come together to create a solar eclipse, Leff said she intends to consult with NASA. “I’ll be honest,” she said, “I’m not quite sure who to talk to there. So I reached out to NOAA in Newport and invited them to my community meeting this weekend to see if there’s anything they can do for us.” That meeting is set for 10:15 am at the Depoe Bay Community Hall, 570 Shell Avenue, this Saturday, April 1.

When the tide gradually recedes along the beach, exposed rocks reveal small pools of water where colorful, exotic creatures reside. Sea stars live side by side with anemones and urchins, creating a cornucopia of colors that surrounds the rocky shores. These are just a few of the coastal marine creatures that visitors can discover and learn more about at Lincoln City’s new series of Tide Pool Clinics. The Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau has partnered with CoastWatch to provide a fun opportunity for visitors to learn about intertidal marine life. Clinic leader Fawn Custer of CoastWatch is excited to share her knowledge and expertise of marine conservation. “We have a very dynamic coastline,” Custer said. “As the tides rush in and out, the marine organisms that live there have to adapt to these conditions. That is why our tide pools are much more diverse than other coastal areas. They are constantly changing with every tide.” Custer brings more than 25

years’ of teaching experience to this year’s Tide Pool Clinics. As the volunteer coordinator for CoastWatch, she has worked with more than 1,300 volunteers along the Oregon Coast to educate students about marine science in the region. Assisting Custer with the Tide Pool Clinics is Athena Crichton, from the Hatfield Marine Science Center. Educated at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Oregon State University, Crichton has been teaching at Hatfield for 16 years. She also teaches marine education at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Custer expects the trips to reveal at least a few sea
stars, whose populations continue to rebound from the devastation of Sea Star Wasting Syndrome. “Since 2013, we have seen a slow and steady increase in the populations,” she said. “We would love to have participants help us count and measure them at the clinics.” Clinics are held at the NW 15th Street beach access in Lincoln City, one of the most accessible locations for tide pooling on the Oregon Coast. These free clinics begin with a brief orientation from Custer and Crichton, where they will describe local marine habitat and the types of creatures participants might discover, before setting out on a guided tide pool tour. Clinics last for aboout an hour and participants are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback. Participants should plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early and dress in layers for Oregon Coast weather. Parking is available along NW 15th Street and at the Seagull Beachfront Motel parking lot.
