developed the process after multiple requests for help from artists who had been rejected by galleries or contests due to poor-quality images. “Artists don’t need to pay a professional for a lot of what they do,� Bartley said. “They often photograph their art with their point-and-shoot or phone cameras. Those images will normally meet their very basic needs. So, I developed this presentation to help them
when copying their own art that does not have to meet stringent calibrated standards. It also allows me to educate local artists on when to enlist the services of a professional to minimize rejections because of poor quality, which can be a real deal breaker for them.� Bartley’s presentation will run from 9 to 11 am at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

Paul Atwood, assistant district wildlife biologist with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, will deliver the talk on Thursday, March 9, in Manzanita, exploring some of the common wildlife species that use Coastal Oregon estuaries, including Nehalem Bay. The Nehalem estuary spans more than 2,800 acres and encompasses a variety of habitats from freshwater streams, spruce swamps, tidal sloughs, salt marshes and much more. The presentation will start at 7:20 pm at Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Avenue, with doors opening at 6:30 pm for refreshments and an update from Lower Nehalem Watershed Council at 7 pm.

COLD
COMFORT
As we prepared for our February trip to Alaska, I had one thing on my mind: the weather. Living here on the Oregon Coast has left me largely with a closet of lightweight jackets and rain gear — all of which seemed fairly inadequate. Should I buy something new — knowing by the time it was needed again it would be completely outdated? Should I swallow my fashion pride and wear my 18-year-old ski jacket? Or perhaps the white wool coat, now at least seven years old and which did nothing to keep me warm the last time we traveled north? In the end, I grabbed a couple pair of gloves, packed and then unpacked my ski hat (it would only mess up my hair) and threw in the puffer jacket I’d bought on a whim on sale the summer before. I knew it was meant for chilly temps, but probably not freezing. I recalled winters in Anchorage when the cold was so bitter, the air glistened with ice crystals and I had to beat on my thighs to get the blood moving. I told myself we wouldn’t be outside much anyway. We were Anchorage-bound for the last scheduled out-of-state reading of my novel “Wander.” The tour had taken me to New York City, Pennsylvania, Denver and of course, numerous places here in Oregon. Now, I would finish with a Saturday afternoon reading at Barnes & Noble. The trip was scheduled around our 34th anniversary and my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. In on Friday, out on Tuesday. If I was going to freeze at least it would be short-lived. We arrived in Anchorage on one of the smoothest flights ever, even landing a half hour early. I looked out the window and saw a world in white, with more of the fluffy stuff coming, and a thermometer that read 28 degrees. It did indeed look cold. I zipped up my coat, slipped on my coat and prepared for the Arctic blast. But outside, I was reminded yet again that 28 degrees in Anchorage is just not that cold. I’d experienced this once before after having been away from Alaska for a few years. I suspect it’s because Anchorage’s cold is a dry cold. I patted myself on the back for not splurging on a new coat and climbed in our friend’s pick up. As some of you may know, I am no fan of winter driving, but I don’t worry so much in Alaska because generally someone else is driving and that someone else lives there and has lived there for years and they know what they doing. At least they’re supposed to. But when we got out on the highway, I saw all around me cars in the ditches, cars upside down, cars ahead of us skidding and fishtailing. And flashing red lights everywhere. Later, someone reminded us that it had snowed very little the previous two winters and people forgot how to drive in true winter
conditions. We were scheduled to drive ourselves to the Mat-Su Valley for the birthday celebration Monday and, while we had reserved a large SUV rental, I was already worried about that 60-minute drive. Did I dare make some excuse and stay put? We got to the reading Saturday without a hitch, though the snow continued to fall and the city apparently does not have the budget for much snow removal. Sunday, we moved to the hotel where we’d spent our wedding night and enjoyed a day walking around Anchorage — brisk but not bitter. After a few blocks I warmed up so much, I had to lower my zipper to cool off. As I’d feared, the drive to the Valley was on snow and ice, and again we saw vehicles overturned by the side of the road. But the rental company had kindly upgraded us to a GMC Yukon with every bell and whistle you can imagine and I figured if we were going to crash in that thing, we’d probably survive. Probably. That afternoon the hubs shoveled his parents’ deck wearing only a t-shirt and jeans. In the morning, we headed back to the airport. The highway was clear, the snow had stopped, though the ice fog was a bit harrowing for a few miles. And then, there we were back in Portland. It was a cloudy 41 degrees, and I began shivering from the moment we stepped outside, swearing I was going to freeze. Lori Tobias is the author of the novel “Wander” and a journalist of many years.

License to KRILL Oregon’s gray whale plate needs backers. Help give this tail a happy ending. By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
People travel from far and wide for even a glimpse of the super cetaceans that annually cruise the Oregon Coast, with the most famous of all being the gray whales. A proposed new license plate aims to help people pimp their ride with a tribute to these charismatic megafauna, while also helping preserve this and other marine mammals that frequent Oregon’s waters. “If we were to declare an Oregon marine mammal, it would be the gray whale,” said Dr. Bruce Mate of the Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute. “The whole idea of this plate is to promote tourism, but also promote the idea of healthy oceans and celebrate what’s out there in the water.”
Though the bulk of the work to make the plate a reality has been accomplished by Mate, State Representative David Gomberg and a handful of dedicated volunteers, help is still needed to make the plate a reality. This is where you, gentle reader, come in. “The state requires a minimum number of people to make a ‘commitment’ to purchasing a plate before they will move forward,” Gomberg said. “We are so close, but not quite there yet.” Both Mate and Gomberg have been working on the process for a few years, and it is now gaining traction. “I have all the statistics of all the plates that have ever been made,” Mate said. “It’s been a slog working on this for the last few legislative sessions, but in December, it turned into a sprint.”

Expressing interest in the Oregon Gray Whale license plate, featuring the image of a mother and calf created by Pieter Folkens, is really, really easy. Go to mmi.oregonstate. edu/whaleplate, and fill out a short
12 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • march 3, 2017
“Expression of Interest” form. No money is required up front, and the personal information collected is minimal. However, please don’t do it just to please the people who worked so hard to make it happen. If the plate is approved and printed but not enough people stump up the extra $40 dollars to actually buy it, the Marine Mammal Institute will be on the hook for the funds. The plate also comes with a feelgood clause, as the relatively small amount for each person will go along way to helping the institute, which will receive $35 of the $40 fee, to help fund its mission of conservation and awareness, and also helping create future scientists. “The MMI isn’t funded the way other parts of the university are,” Mate said. “We only hire people for half of the year, and they need to raise funds for their research projects for the work they do the rest of the year; this will supplement that need. We’re probably one of the top three agencies in the world for education about gray whales, though and our graduate students research can cover many other topics relating to the health of the ocean and the species in it. Our graduate students
truly are real contributors and spark plugs. The first graduate student we supported in 1984 is now running a non-profit in the Bahamas and is one of the world’s foremost experts on dolphins.” Though people do seem to find dolphins delightful, the gray whale, once brought to the edge of extinction by whaling and now considered fully recovered, also has legions of fans. “There’s a special place in people’s hearts for these animals,” Mate said. “And we humans can make it so that we aren’t the reason these animals fail to survive, and even thrive. “We want this plate to give people a little reason to think about their impact on the ocean.” For the next step in the process, Mate and Gomberg will be meeting with Oregon Department of Transportation staff in early March to, hopefully, declare that the commitments goal has been met, allowing the process to move forward with a potential printing date of mid-2017. For more information about the MMI, the whale plate or to register, go to mmi.oregonstate.edu/ whaleplate.

FOOL OF GREAT IDEAS?
Every year, Lincoln City’s Festival of Illusions attracts a host of magicians, jugglers and other performers who make their living by getting up on stage and showing off their skills. But why let the professionals have all the fun? This year, festival organizers have partnered with Oregon Coast TODAY to throw down the gauntlet to amateurs everywhere to take part in the Fools’ Day Cabaret. 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 John Bringetto, 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.
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. Tickets are $20 apiece, with proceeds from the event going toward the Lincoln City Warming Shelter — because homelessness is no joke. Located in the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, the warming shelter opens its doors when temperatures drop below 40 degrees to offer a safe place for homeless people to sleep, eat and get access to support services. “We are thrilled to partner with the cultural center to present the Fool’s Day Cabaret,” said Oregon Coast TODAY Publisher Patrick Alexander. “With our longstanding history of April Fool stories, the TODAY was a leader in fake news since before it was cool. This year, we’re hoping our love of nonsense can do a little good
for those who need it most.” If you have an act that would fit with the Fools’ Day Cabaret, contact cultural center Executive Director Niki Price at 541994-9994. All performers must commit to attending a dress rehearsal at 2 pm
on stage on Saturday, April 1, in preparation for the show at 7 pm that evening. “We are looking for anything funny, foolish, feverish, frickin’ fantastic, in five minutes or less,” Price said. “You don’t need to be star quality, but you must be well rehearsed and definitely off book. Do you have something new you’d like to perform, but you’re worried you’re going to make a fool of yourself? Perfect!”
Laura Green Juggling Queen is no stranger to fooling around
SERVING UP SIMON Lincoln City’s Theatre West is serving up another helping of vintage Neil Simon with its latest production “The Dinner Party,” the third offering in its ongoing “Season of Simon.” The comedy opens with five strangers invited to dine at a first-rate restaurant in Paris. Tossed together in a private dining room, they have a sneaking suspicion that this unorthodox dinner party will forever change their lives. Directed by Wes Ryan, the play stars Mark Akey as Claude, Bryan Kirsch as Andre, George Weber as Albert, Larayne Yaeger as Gabrielle, Celeste Galloway as
Yvonne and Tricia Chandler as Mariette. Danielle Ryan is assistant director, with a stage crew including Donna Morris, Brandie Jurasin and Nancy Swienton. The play runs through Saturday, March 25, with 7:30 pm performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, plus one 2 pm matinée on Sunday, March 19. Tickets, $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and students, and $10 for children 12 and under, are available by calling 541-994-5663. Please leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101.
