NEWPORT A MATCH MADE IN

Porthole Players step into the ring for comic take on marriage By Barbara B. Covell For The TODAY Photos by CHRIS Graamans

his has all the ingredients for good theater. A turnof-the-century tale crafted by one of America’s finest playwrights, Thornton Wilder, “The Matchmaker” combines physical comedy, farcical humor and a few mistaken identities with a deeper look at how the human need for happiness leads to the most unusual situations. The story is about a conservative Yonkers businessman, Horace Vandergelder, who hires a marriage broker to find a suitable wife. Vandergelder has reached the age of 60 and “in a world of fools,” he believes it would be prudent to marry again, thus “risking a little security for a certain amount of adventure.” Little does the self-assured, swaggering Vandergelder know that his marriage broker, the widow Dolly Gallagher Levi, desires to marry him herself. Levi, a “woman of many talents,” finds ample opportunities to insert herself into the lives of everyone in Vandergelder’s world. There is Irene Molloy, a milliners shop owner, who feels stifled by her occupation and is determined to be Horace’s next wife. Ermengarde is Vandergelder’s willful, yet proper niece, who wants to marry the artist Ambrose Kemper; a man whom Vandergelder considers naive and a bit foolish. Cornelius Hackl and Barnaby Tucker work in Vandergelder’s place of business; Barnaby is young and innocent, Cornelius wants the American dream and believes real love is possible. Levi wants to see happy couples together at any cost. She tries to help Ermengarde and Ambrose, while also encouraging potential love for Cornelius and Irene. Irene’s shop mistress, Minnie Fay, is paired with Barnaby. The drama unfolds at the Harmonia Garden Restaurant, where new characters present additional wrinkles, resulting in utter pandemonium. Yet Levi perseveres by maneuvering through the chaos in her desire to do good for the world, while also snagging Vandergelder as her “next husband.” If this story sounds familiar, it is because Wilder’s play is the basis for David Merrick’s 1964 musical “Hello, Dolly,” which was a Tony award-winning Broadway show. “The Matchmaker” is directed by the monomymous Stephan, a creative stage veteran with creative vision. He handily stages the movements and blocking with a cast of 15 in the intimate Black Box Theatre. His set design uses scenery and props based in black and white illustrations to great effect. Turn-of-the-century newspapers and artifacts

create the mood of the Victorian era. In another bow to authenticity, Stephan and producer Vickie Steen chose a staged reading format, which works brilliantly. “This type of theatre requires a different set of skills from the actors,” Stephan said. “Movements and dialogue may be addressed to each other, or in some cases, directly to the audience.” Costume designer Sherre Robbins once again creates beautiful genuine Victorian period pieces for this play, her 20th show at the Newport Performing Arts Center. Music performed by pianist Milo Graamans is integrated within every scene. Stephan and Graamans meticulously chose musical selections from the period, adding another dimension to this polished production. This show is peppered with accomplished stage actors and introduces some new actors to the Newport theatre community. Brian Haggerrty is the consummate selfsatisfied Horace Vandergelder, confidently delivering this toxic diatribe: “Marriage is a bribe to make a housekeeper feel like a householder.” Haggerrty craftily brings out Horace’s sensitive and gentle side in the show’s final scene. Linda Curtice lights up the stage as Dolly Levi, a vivacious, resourceful, determined woman with a loving heart. Michelle Johnson is very convincing in her role as the emotional and willful Ermengarde. Stage veteran Ernie Brown delivers a dead-on Malachi Stack, a “man of many talents.” And don’t miss Mike Eastman’s wonderful performance as Joe Scanlon, the barber. Pedro Delos Santos is Ambrose Kemper, skillfully blending the qualities of a naive young artist determined to wed his true love. Judith McNeil is hilarious as the half blind and deaf Vandergelder housekeeper, Gertrude. Minda Stiles is the lovely Irene Molloy, and well-cast in her role as a woman resolved to better her life.

Webster aces his Cornelius Hackl, showing great talent for physical comedy with Drake Simon’s funny Barnaby Tucker. Veteran actors Jessica Moll, Jeﬀ Lichtman, Lee Ritzman, Steve Johnson, Elizabeth Hoover and Karin Bigler complete this cast with their individual skillful performances. Stage manager Sharlei Malovoz and lighting designer Ron Miller ensure continuity in this fast-paced delightful comedy. “The Matchmaker” opens Friday, March 4 at 7:30 pm and runs for three weekends until March 20. Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 7:30 pm, with Sunday matinées at 2 pm. Tickets, $13.50, are available by calling 541-265-2787 or online at www.portholeplayers.com. Barbara B.

The bumbling Inspector Pratt is back in Lincoln City, embarking on another inept attempt at sleuthing in “Death by Fatal Murder,” the latest production from Theatre West. Written by Peter Gordon, the comedy sees Pratt return to Bagshot House, the scene of previous visits, chronicled in “Murdered to Death” and “Secondary Cause of Death,” where the body count mounted disastrously as he looked on. During the course of his latest investigations, Pratt meets the new owner of the house, Nancy Allwright, and is soon embroiled in more mystery, aided and abetted by Miss Joan Maple and Constable Thomkins. Upper-crust Ginny Farquhar and Italian gigolo Enzo help with inquiries, but danger soon looms with an unexpected arrival and a frightening suggestion by Welsh busybody, Blodwyn Morgan. Don Bambrough reprises the role of Pratt, joined by Julie Bradley as Nancy Allwright, Patti Siberz as Joan Maple, Paul Wilhelmi as Constable Thomkins, Joy Gallagher as Ginny Farquhar, Bryan Kirsch as Enzo, Celeste Galloway as Blodwyn Morgan and Lewis Smith as Squadron Leader Roger “Stiﬀy” Allwright. Director Rich Emery is joined on the crew by assistant director Bruce Mace, stage manager Steve Griﬃths and Kate Daschel on lights and sound. The play will run from Thursday, March 3, through Saturday, March 26, with performances at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Who’s afraid of Samuel Beckett?

Lincoln City’s Theatre West is looking for two men and two women to perform in its upcoming production of “Blame It On Beckett” a comedy by John Morogiello. Directed by Wes Ryan, the play tells the story of Heidi Bishop, a wide-eyed dramaturgy intern, eager to better American drama. What she encounters instead is an endless stream of bad scripts by desperate playwrights and an office filled with cynicism and turf battles, led by her bitterly hilarious boss Jim Foley. When Heidi’s efforts to improve things run into unintended consequences, she is forced to confront idealism with reality to save her career, reputation and relationships. The play will run from May 6 through May 28, with 7:30 pm performances each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There will be one 2 pm Sunday matinée on a date to be determined. Auditions will be held at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday, March 13 and 14, in the theatre at 3536 Hwy. 101.

As a result, he was virtually eliminated from the entertainment industry. His passport was revoked, his concerts were cancelled and his once-dazzling career lay in ruins. Only toward the end of his life did he resume public appearances and his fame began to revive. He died in 1976.

Discover history at Cape Perpetua The legacy of the brutal, forced relocation of Indian tribes on the Oregon Coast will be the topic of the Saturday, March 5, Winter Discovery Series at Cape Perpetua Visitor Center. Local historian Joanne Kittel will present “Amanda: How A Trail Brought Truth, Reconciliation and Collaboration To A Divided People,” a look at the harrowing plight faced by coastal tribes during the era of white resettlement. Kittel’s presentation takes its name from a blind tribeswoman known today only as “Amanda,” who was forcibly separated from her eight-yearold daughter and marched with other displaced Indians to the Alsea sub-agency relocation camp near Yachats in 1864. A trail along the northern face of the promontory within the

It also will describe the 30-year-long journey to bring truth and reconciliation between the Tribal people and the Yachats community. Kittel will be joined by Doc Slyter, a Tribal ﬂutist and council member of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. The presentation will include Native American ﬂute music and drumming, with the audience invited to participate. Kittel’s talk will start at 1 pm at 2400 S. Hwy. 101, three miles south of Yachats.

he moment did not come with big drama. It was not the flip of a switch or a sudden flash, but rather a gradual illuminating, like dawn or the changing of the sky after a storm. It was a Friday night, rain coming down, sometimes in sheets, sometimes in a fine mist, sometimes not at all, as it will here in February. As it will any time on the Oregon Coast. Newly arrived from an evening at the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival, we were gathered on a 41-foot boat anchored at the South Beach Marina awaiting the moment I’d been tipped to in a message that began, “I know a secret, and I’m willing to share.” Now, who can resist a come-on like that? Though, as it would turn out, it was not so much a secret, as a tease — one that soon, many, many people would share. And it would happen, or so those behind the effort hoped, just before 9 pm, that crazy hour when the doors to the wine fest would close and all those happy (ahem) revelers would pour outside to head for home — most of them, of course, over the bridge. Then, as we stood on the deck in the suddenly dry, almost fog-free night, someone called, “There they are.” And sure enough, from inside the bay came the quartet of boats, spotlights beaming. Would it work? We would see. No one seems to know if the Yaquina Bay Bridge has ever been lit. Not just the little red and green lights that make it visible in the night, but properly lit like, say, the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty. Or Waldport’s Alsea Bay Bridge. This Labor Day, the Yaquina Bay Bridge will have been open to traffic for 80 years. That’s eight decades the bridge has stood as an icon of the Oregon Coast: 135 feet above sea level, spanning 3,260 feet, a 600-foot central arch flanked by two 350-foot arches. Five years ago, we celebrated the 75th birthday of the bridge. Darle Maveety, whose father, Otto Hermann, supervised the building of the bridge, shared some of her memories of that time. Construction started in 1934 and finished two years later at a cost of $1.3 million — and Hermann’s left ring finger, lost when he stood too close to a piece of machinery. It didn’t change his feeling for

the span one bit, Maveety recalled. “He just loved that bridge,” she said. “It was a real passion in his life. Later, we would come down to Newport and we’d stand there and look at it and admire it. I have it on his tombstone. I thought it was the most important thing he had done.” Hermann, of course, was not alone in his affection for the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Everyone loves it. Twenty years ago, when Time magazine published a review of beautiful bridges, it not only included the Yaquina Bay Bridge, but put it on the cover. People remember it from their visits, they recognize it from photos, they put it on their bucket lists of places to see. Even I, here now almost 16 years, drive to the bridge several days a week simply to take a break in my day, to pause and appreciate the beauty around us. Rarely does more than a week go by that I don’t give in to the urge to snap a picture. And yet, while other bridges all over Oregon shimmer and twinkle at night, ours remains mostly dark. Some think it’s time for that to change. “Lighting it would enhance its beauty, and give it that night visibility,” says Lorna Davis, queen of the hometown cheering squad — aka: executive director of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce. She’s not the first to think so. People have talked about lighting the bridge forever, Davis says. But it seems no one ever really got serious about it until recently. That’s when Jim Protiva, president of the chamber board, and Sharon Biddinger, local photographer, rallied a handful of fishing boat captains. And so there we were, a little wet and a little tired, waiting, watching, wondering. The boats moved slowly across the bay, spotlights full and bright as a new moon. They fell first on the column of one span, then spread up and across, until the whole of the Yaquina Bay Bridge glowed. Not flashy, not glitzy. Simply basking in the light, long overdue.

Fathoms never leaves guests short of a story, in Lincoln City Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Here’s a tall order — a restaurant that combines unmatched views of the Pacific Ocean with gourmet breakfasts, lunches and dinners, all served up by professional staff who make the place feel like home. Welcome to Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar, perched on the 10th floor of the Inn at Spanish Head, where tall orders come naturally. Built in 1969, the inn is an engineering masterpiece, rising up from the sands to buttress the cliff with some 7,000 cubic yards of concrete and 400 tons of steel. Guests enter on the ninth floor, from a courtyard accessible via another engineering oddity — a tunnel running beneath Highway 101. For those who don’t fancy the tunnel, valet parking is available, with drop off at the door. Fathoms Manager Lisa White said the fact that only

two of the inn’s stories are visible from the highway makes guests feel like they have discovered a hidden gem when they see the views on oﬀer from the bar and restaurant. “We get comment cards from guests saying they’ve always loved it and from new guests saying ‘we are so glad we’ve found you,’” she said. “We want the secret out.” And winter means everchanging scenery for Fathoms guests, whether gazing at the ocean from the bar or looking out toward the Salishan Spit from the restaurant. “You are able to take it in,” White said, “and if that clearing comes, you are able to get out on the beach in a heartbeat.” But Fathoms oﬀers far more than just a world-class view. One of just three restaurants in Lincoln City to have earned the coveted three-diamond rating from AAA, it boasts a menu packed with fresh seafood, perfectly cooked meats and mouthwatering

vegetarian dishes, all crafted with skill by the talented and much-appreciated veteran culinary team working alongside of Chef Ken Martin. White said winter sees guests opting for comfort food options like Seafood Cannelloni and Pesto Primavera Pasta as well as seafood favorites like Grilled Wild Paciﬁc Salmon and the Fathoms halibut, encrusted with crab and shrimp and stuﬀed with Piquillo peppers, cream cheese and parmesan. More casual options, available at lunch in the restaurant include the Prime Rib Dip Sandwich, served with caramelized onions and Swiss cheese on a French baguette with au jus and horseradish; and the Grilled Salmon Burger, served on a Kaiser roll with lemon cilantro mayonnaise. Bar patrons can also try out the new Portabello Mushroom Fries, served with harissa aioli and ranch dipping sauces; and a new macaroni and cheese combining cheddar, Boursin, parmesan, cream cheese and bleu cheese crumbles and available with an optional topping of applewood smoked bacon. Prime Rib Dip, Steamer Clams and Ling Cod Fish & Chips remain most popular dining options in the bar. Meanwhile, back in the restaurant, the combo Seafood Louis is a longstanding lunch

The Combo Louis with Dungeness Crab and Shrimp along with a bowl of Fathoms clam chowder

and dinner favorite, combining Dungeness crab and shrimp with shredded romaine, black olives, tomatoes, cucumber and hard-boiled egg — all tossed in Fathoms’ own house Louis dressing. Winter offers a special treat for diners taking advantage of the restaurant’s early bird special. Orders are due by 5:30 pm, giving guests a frontrow seat for the season’s early sunsets. Another good time for quiet reflection is during breakfast, served from 8 to 11 am every day and until noon on Sundays, offering guests the perfect chance to plan their day or catch up with a friend. To see the restaurant at its most vibrant, drop by for brunch, served from 9 am to 1 pm every Sunday from July 3 through Sept. 11, preceded by

special Champagne Brunches for Easter, March 27; Mothers Day, May 8 and Fathers Day, June 19. Reservations are strongly recommended for the popular brunches, which serve up a feast of everything from madeto-order omelets and waffles to salmon, cod cakes, prime rib and house-smoked fish. “You definitely have to prioritize to get through it all,” White said. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, guests can expect friendly and professional service amid elegant décor, recently enhanced by the addition of handcrafted candle centerpieces by Lincoln City glass artist Kelly Howard. And while Fathoms might seem like it has it all, White is always looking for ways to make each visit even more memorable.

This summer and fall will see installation of new shades in the bar and restaurant and a remodel of one of Fathoms’ most famous features — the women’s restroom. An unexpected delight for every new visitor, the restroom presents guests with a stunning ocean view through a west wall made entirely from glass. “People think it’s fantastic now,” White said. “By the time the designer is done, it will be quite the showpiece.” Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar is located at the Inn at Spanish Head, 4009 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For details and reservations, call 541-9941601 or 800-452-8127. To book lodging reservations or learn more about the hotel, go to www. spanishhead.com.

THE TRICK TO SURVIVING SPRING BREAK The Oregon Coast is a magical place any time of year. And in Lincoln City, Spring Break is especially enchanting during the Festival of Illusions, a week full of magic shows and day camps for kids at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This year’s Festival of Illusions will take place from Sunday, March 20, to Friday, March 25, with a different magician taking to the stage each evening. One of the festival’s performers, Matt Baker, has presented his brand of alternative comedy stunts in all 50 states and 17 countries. A self-taught comedian, Baker holds five Guinness World Records and has appeared on Tosh.O, Comedy Central, America’s Got Talent and Last Comic Standing. His tricks include catching a bowling ball with his head, spearing vegetables midair and juggling with his mouth — all while telling the kind of jokes that saw him named as Seattle’s Funniest Alternative Comic. Baker will be joined throughout the week by Seattle magician and mentalist Joe Black, bubbleologist Louis Pearl, familyoriented magician Jeff Evans, classic trick expert Tim Alexander and David Lichtenstein, aka: Leapin’ Louie, who specializes in western comedy shows. Each show will start at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $11 for adults, $6 for kids aged 5 to18, and free for kids 4 and under, are available at www. lincolncity-culturalcenter.org. Each show has two sets with one intermission, and snacks and drinks are available for purchase. The cultural center is also

Oil painting by Talya Johnson

TOLEDO’S IN BLOOM ART IS POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN FOR FIRST WEEKEND

If you like to start March with a stroll, Toledo is worth a visit this Saturday and Sunday March 5 and 6, when galleries throughout town will welcome visitors for First Weekend. The Yaquina River Museum of Art will be showcasing works from its growing permanent collection, including pieces by William Shumway of Corvallis, Becky Miller of Toledo, John Hewitt of Fort Bragg, California, Laurel Buchanan of Bend and Susan Bennett of Jacksonville, Oregon. Each of the featured artists either lives or has worked in the Yaquina Watershed area, creating artwork in mediums including acrylic, graphite, watercolor and oils. The museum will also be showcasing a number of paintings from Michael Gibbons’ traveling exhibit “Yaquina.” The museum will be open from noon to 4 pm both days, with light refreshments on oﬀer. For more information, call 541-3361907. Just across the street, oil painter

Michael Gibbons will be displaying several pieces that capture the beauty of the Central Coast and Coast Range Mountains, including “Whalen Island Refuge.” The 10-by-12-inch painting was inspired by a visit to the tiny island, located near Pacific City, and sharing space with the Clay Meyers Wildlife Refuge and a state campsite. After walking three miles around the island, Gibbons turned to its backside for his subject matter, where wildlife thrives and tidal inlets of water meander in from the Pacific Ocean. “This is my hand painted diary of Oregon,” he said. Located at 140 NE Alder Street, Gallery Michael Gibbons will be open from 11 am to 5 pm both days, with guests invited to enjoy complimentary Oregon wine and cheese, along with “Vicarage” blend coffee. For more information, call 541-3362797. Nearby, fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly will be showcasing an exhibition of new oils of Newport’s crabbing and

207 East Graham Street. For more information, call 541-3361124 Oil paintings will also be on oﬀer at Twisted Snout Brewery, where Becky Miller will be showing several of her kelp paintings. Included in the show are three of her three-by-four foot works, which combine abstract design with photo realism. All of the paintings were inspired by her walks along Newport’s Nye Beach. Miller felt such a personal connection with her featured painting that she titled it “The Inner Me.”

Twisted Snout Brewery also features work by several other local artists as part of its permanent décor. These include a kelp installation in the pub skylight by Heather Fortner, handcrafted, one-of-a-kind lamps by Karen Fitzgibbon, fused glass by Alice Haga and photography by Dwan Loomis. The brewery, located at 300 S. Main Street, will be open from 11 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 7 pm on Sunday. Impressions Paciﬁc will round out First weekend, with a collection of original oil paintings by Talya Johnson. “Talya has an amazing eye for brilliant color and composition, which is reﬂected in her paintings,” said gallery co-owner Angela Lehrbass. The gallery, which also features original paintings, wood, glass and ceramics by several other artists, will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday.

WITH A SCUBA TRIP ON THE TILLAMOOK COAST

he Tillamook Coast plays host to myriad outdoor activities; kayaking our endless waterways, mountain biking the forest trails, hiking the coastal lookouts for those special, one-of-a-kind views. And even more adventures await beneath the water’s surface. Here, recreational SCUBA diver Brian Cameron gives his pick of the top ﬁve dive sites in the county.

Netarts Bay Known for the pristine waters that rank as the second-cleanest in the nation, Netarts Bay has been frequented by people searching for shellfish and other seafood for hundreds if not thousands of years. The deepest part of the main channel is no more than 30 feet deep at high tide but a surprising variety of sea life call Netarts Bay home: black bass, schools of perch, kelp greenling, rockfish, giant lavender starfish, sea stars, sea cucumbers, eels and a variety of crab, including the tasty Dungeness. On a good day, water visibility can be up to 20 feet and the best access is from the Netarts Boat launch near the Schooner Restaurant on Boat Basin Road. Be sure to adhere to local shellfish harvesting regulations if you intend to keep any crab you find.

15 to nearly 40 feet. A favorite area of spear fishermen, the jetty can offer enthusiasts a chance at large rockfish, kelp greenling, lingcod, perch and a variety of oceangoing species as well. It’s also not uncommon to find fresh Dungeness crab. If intending to spearfish, be sure to check local regulations.

The Three Graces Just a little bit closer to the town of Garibaldi, there are three beautiful oﬀshore rock stacks that are a magnet for

photographers and tourists alike. For the more adventurous, and those willing to carry their own equipment down some questionable terrain, the Three Graces are also a gem of a diving area. Just beyond the rocks there is a 40foot wall going down to the channel bottom. This site is known to have some impressively sized sea life swimming about and scrounging the sea ﬂoor. Sizeable lingcod and rockﬁsh are common along the wall and occasionally people have seen sea lions, seals, small sharks and even the rare pod of orca swimming into the channel. Take special care regarding rip currents,

waves and tides in this area, which lies directly within the channel linking Tillamook Bay to the Paciﬁc Ocean.

Pyramid Rock, Three Arch Rocks and Cape Lookout Diving at these locations is only allowed at certain points throughout the year as they are within a natural reserve, so be sure to check timing and availability. Known for the large amount of rock scallops along with a teeming variety of local sea life, these sites are only accessible through a private charter boat, or a boat from an area diving group. Depth can vary greatly but expect anywhere from 15 feet up to 65 feet or more. Visibility can be as good as 20 feet and divers should expect to be blown away by the sheer amount of creatures living amid these offshore rocks, with black seabass, lingcod, starfish, anemones, urchins and rock scallops just a few of the offerings. For more diving information or private charter information, contact Garibaldi Charters. Brian Cameron is the owner-operator of Tillamook Eco-Adventures, which offers a range of land-based excursions throughout Tillamook County. For details go to http:// tillamookecoadventures.com.

Whalen Island A lesser-known natural area along the Tillamook Coast, Whalen Island is located at Clay Myers State Natural Area, a few miles south of Cape Lookout and north of Pacific City. It is home to a small, county-owned campground and a rather nice nature trail that circumnavigates the island. During low tide, the area is a mud flat, but during high tide, divers can plunge into a 30-foot-deep hole right below the access road that is known to harbor a good amount of Dungeness crab as well as a stable population of small eels. This site is popular with Northwest dive shops as a location to practice dive techniques and for entry-level divers to gain some chops.

Barview Jetty Located just north of the small fishing village of Garibaldi, this dive site is known for being a walk-in location from a beach area and features depths from

BE A ROCK STAR

with free tide pool clinics in Lincoln City Beachgoers in Lincoln City will get the chance to throw themselves in at the shallow end thanks to a series of free tide pool clinics starting on Sunday, March 13. Local marine ecologist Dr. Charles Getter (aka: Dr. Chuck) will lead the expeditions in search of rocky intertidal marine life such as sea stars and sea urchins. A graduate of Oregon State University and the University of Miami, Getter has taught marine ecology courses on four continents, and has walked and mapped more than 25,000 miles of shoreline around the world. “I have never grown complacent to the beauty and wonder of the central Oregon coastline,” Getter said. “There’s nothing I love more than spending a day, rain or shine, wandering the beach and admiring our coastal marine life.” Those who join Getter to peer into the pools can expect to see a cornucopia of colors, with sea stars living side by side with sea anemones and sea urchins. The two-hour clinics will take place at the 15th Street beach access in Lincoln City, one of the best locations for tide pooling on the Oregon Coast. Getter will begin each clinic with a short talk and participants are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback. “We want this program to be fun and approachable for all education levels,” Getter said. “My goal is for each visitor to go home with a new piece of knowledge about our tide pools.” The Sunday, March 13, clinic will begin at 10 am. Participants should plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early and dress in layers for Oregon Coast weather. Parking is available along 15th Street and at the Seagull Beachfront Motel parking lot. The clinics are organized in partnership with the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. For more information, call 800-452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org/tidepool-clinics.

n a t u r a l i s t ’s c a l e n d a r Got perennial problems? As spring approaches, coastal gardeners might already be seeing the return of perennials. On Thursday, March 10, the Lincoln County Master Gardeners will use the latest in its series of round table discussions to oﬀer a few pointers on these dependable favorites. Usually thought of as herbaceous plants that live for more than two years, perennials often require little care and give gardens interesting variety and blooms throughout the growing season. And in the coast’s mild climate, some are even evergreen right through the winter. Master Gardeners Heather Fortner and Betty Bahn will lead the March 10 discussion about perennial care, covering topics including division, planting locations and design.

Bahn, a member of the Hardy Plant Society, is an avid student of botany and tends a beautiful and unique coastal garden. Fortner, a well-known Toledo artist with a background in tropical to hardy plants, is now replacing her lawn with perennials and natives. The free discussion will run from 10 am to noon at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Gardeners of every age and experience level are encouraged to bring a branch or ﬂower in bloom to share with the class and bring along a copy of Sunset’s Western Garden Book, if available. To reserve seating and ensure that enough printed handouts are available, participants should RSVP to the OSU Extension oﬃce in Newport at 541-574-6534.

“Ant on Lily” by Walt Rhea

WILD AT ART The challenges of capturing Oregon’s wildﬂowers on camera are the subject of a Monday, March 7, presentation hosted by the Yaquina Art Association Photographers in Newport. Walt Rhea’s talk, “Hunting the Fast Moving Western Wildﬂower,” will include photos, an equipment list and botanical references.

Rhea, who lives in Lee’s Camp, Oregon, has been pursuing wildﬂower photography since retiring from Intel, photographing ﬂowers from California’s Death Valley to the Yukon. The presentation, which is free and open to all, will start at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

HEAR A FLOWING NARRATIVE A richly illustrated journey into the canyonlands of the Owyhee River will be on oﬀer at Newport Public Library when author Bonnie Olin visits on Sunday, March 6. Olin’s book, “The Owyhee River Journals,” includes 125 color photos of rarely seen landscapes by photographer Mike Quigley, created over many years of travel together. Olin will start her presentation with an introduction to the little-known Owyhee, which passes through Nevada, Idaho and Oregon, followed by a discussion of why it is deserving of wilderness protection. A 20-minute video “Deep Creek & the Owyhee River,” will tell the story of an expedition into the Owyhee canyon that begins on a tributary of the East Fork of the Owyhee in Idaho, and ends at Three Forks in Oregon. “It is a view of the upper regions of the Owyhee River that few

people see,” Olin said, “and helps one to understand the significance of this last hidden jewel of the West, for people will not find themselves in the Owyhee on their way to any other location.” Olin is a third-generation Oregonian, born into a family with a great love of the outdoors. In the 1960s and early ’70s, she worked for her father in the summer on his survey crew and sometimes as compassman on a timber cruise. In 1989, Quigley introduced her to running rivers in an inflatable kayak, using rivers as a highway into the wild. She found these experiences so inspiring she began keeping a journal about each adventure, a practice that led to the writing of “The Owyhee River Journals.” Her presentation, which is free and open to all, will begin 2 pm at the library, 35 NW Nye Street, followed by a brief question and answer period.

Beach lovers unite Oregon Coast author and TODAY columnist Matt Love will visit Manzanita on Saturday, March 5, to read from his latest book “The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel.” The novel, Love’s ﬁction debut, bends and twists the detective genre with hilarious, unexpected and political results. The premise: a Los Angeles developer is trying to privatize Oregon’s publiclyowned beaches, its vaunted “great birthright,” and only one washed-up detective and selfpublished writer can stop him. Love said the novel is a clarion call to Oregonians to stand up against “the New Jersey and Malibuﬁcation of Oregon’s beaches: boardwalks, espresso stands, security guards, fences, no

Get it going Love will teach a writing workshop on Getting the Writing Going, from 10 am to 3:30 pm on Saturday, March 5. Participants will get to experiment with innovative techniques to define an editorial voice for fiction or nonfiction writing and address the barriers that prevent the aspiring writer from getting started. Tuition is $50. Register at hoffmanblog.org.

dogs, no bonﬁres, no fort building, NO TRESPASSING signs.” “The Great Birthright” includes Love’s call to action for Oregonians to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beach Bill on July 7, 2017.

Love, the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, grew up in Oregon City and is a lifelong educator and publisher of Nestucca Spit Press. In 2009, he won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook

Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. He lives in Astoria with his husky, Sonny, and is currently working on a book about teaching. Love’s talk, a special presentation from the Manzanita Writers series, will start at 7 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. It be followed by a Q&A and an open mic where up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of their original work. The suggested theme is “on the beach.” Admission for the evening is $7. For more information, go to hoffmanblog.org or contact Kathie Hightower at kathiejhightower@gmail.com.

Last call for McCall Newport will celebrate the legacy of Oregon’s most colorful, quirky and accomplished governor, Tom McCall, this weekend, in a twoday symposium this Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5. The gathering will see McCall experts present some larger-than-life facts and tackle some of the fabrications surrounding the beloved and, at times, controversial ﬁgure, who governed Oregon during the socially and politically turbulent years of 1967 to 1975.. The symposium kicks oﬀ at 6 pm on Friday, March 4, with a screening of McCall’s landmark 1962 KGW-TV documentary, “Pollution in Paradise” plus an introduction and post-screening Q&A led by William G. Robbins, emeritus distinguished

professor of history at Oregon State University. The symposium will continue at noon on Saturday, March 5, with “Frenemies: Tom McCall and Bob Straub” by Charles K. Johnson, biographer of former Oregon Governor Bob Straub. And Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall will be on hand to talk about his novel “McCallandia,” an alternate history that imagines McCall ascending to the presidency. This symposium will take place at the Paciﬁc Maritime Heritage Center on Newport’s Bayfront. Admission is $5, or free for Lincoln County Historical Society members.

Hits from the ’60s and ’70s will ﬁll the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, March 5, as Oregon Coast pianist and vocalist Brenna Sage performs “I’ve Got the Music in Me.” The two-act musical memoir sees Sage accompanied by a six-piece band, including piano, bass, drums, trumpet, saxophone and trombone, led by Rick LeDoux. Sage grew up in Hebo on the Oregon Coast, and longtime locals might remember her work with the Lincoln Pops Orchestra and Theatre West. But Sage always dreamed of performing on a larger stage and went on to ﬁnd success as a music writer, performer and arranger in Oregon, New York and Mississippi. She directed more than 100 productions, including “Pirates of Finance” for the New York Music Theatre Festival, “Chess and “Urinetown” for The Gallery Players and “Puck’d,” a punk rock adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” for Turtle Shell Productions. “I’ve Got the Music in Me” is her third one-woman show, following “I’ve Done Some Sh*t” and “Hebomia! Will the real Brenna please stand up?”

The show takes audiences on a musical ride through Sage’s childhood in Hebo, where she played piano for her school music classes in fifth grade and started her own all-girl rock band at the age of 14. Audiences can expect to enjoy songs by The Carpenters, Fleetwood Mac, Janis Ian and Kiki Dee as well as hearing Sage’s impressions of stars like Helen Reddy. The show premiered as a 55-minute presentation at the New York City club Don’t Tell Mama.
