Lifting the lid

ats are the hallmark of any event that seeks to be the highlight of the social season. It’s hard to imagine people attending the Kentucky Derby bareheaded or turning up at Ascot without something a little special perched on their dome. Then there are weddings. If it were not for the tradition of funny hats, it would be impossible to pick out the mother of the bride in the family photo. For men, of course, it is a dierent story. Every so often you will see some chap bravely trying to pull o a top hat at a social function but they are normally also wearing a jacket that makes them look like they are on the run from the penguin enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo. All this is part of a larger historical trend that seemed to begin in the Victorian era, when someone decided that men’s clothing should be as Patrick Alexander boring as possible. No more rus, no more frock coats and certainly no more Editor feathered hats. Business meeting? Suit. Drinks at a bar? Suit. Wedding? Suit. Funeral? Suit. Buy the right dark gray number and you could probably get away with the same suit for all four. I thank my lucky stars that the Scots stood fast against this onslaught, preserving for me the option of getting dolled up in a great big woolly skirt whenever the need arises. This is not to say that expanded wardrobe choices make women’s lives any easier — just look at the Oscars. The requirement to wear beautiful, dramatic and entirely impractical shoes means that poor Jennifer Lawrence is unlikely ever to make it all the way through an award ceremony without taking a tumble. Meanwhile all the men are able to hop on stage in loafers and can easily go though the whole night without anyone commenting on their tuxedo — unless of course they are Pharrell Williams (shorts, Pharrell? Really?) All of which makes the Garibaldi Crab Races the great leveler in terms of gender and fashion politics. Buy a funny crab hat and no one will pay the slightest bit of attention to the rest of your outďŹ t. It works for men, women and kids — and all the money goes to charity. See story, page 14.

Jump into Irish culture

Singer, songwriter and Celtic historian Frank Blair will headline the entertainment at the Celtic Heritage Alliance’s second annual Shamrock Supper in Newport, on Saturday, March 15. A product of Irish, Scottish, English and American Southern influences, Blair brings these storytelling traditions together with historical background to paint nuanced, intimate panoramas of human experience with a matching soundtrack. He is known for his deft vocal performances as well as his driving and creative work on bouzouki and guitar. All these talents will be put to work between courses at the Shamrock Supper as Blair presents a series of short vignettes about Irish heritage, culture, music and song to accompany a flight of Irish whiskey tastings. The poetry of William Butler Yeats will also be a feature, along with a rousing pub quiz and special performances of Irish Dancing by An Daire Academy of Irish Dance of Corvallis. The supper itself will feature tasty traditional Irish fare, with corned beef and cabbage accompanied by Irish soda bread, boiled potatoes, parsley sauce, mashed carrots and parsnips; followed by a delectable bread pudding or apple crisp for dessert. The March 15 supper will start at 6:30 pm, in the ballroom at the Newport Shilo Inn Suites Hotel, 536 SW Elizabeth Street. Tickets are $35 for the supper or $60 for the supper plus the whiskey tasting. For more information or to buy tickets online, go to www. newportcelticfestival.com. Tickets are also available by calling 541-574-9366 or stopping by Bridie’s Irish Faire in Newport’s Nye Beach. The Shamrock Supper is the alliance’s last fundraising event before the third annual Newport Celtic Festival and Highland Games, scheduled for June 13 to 15 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds.

Nice threads A Spring Tea and Silent Auction at Tillamook’s Latimer Quilt and Textile Center on Sunday, March 9, will give guests the chance to help fund improvements to the building while also checking out the latest exhibit. “Masterpiece Quilts, Modernism in American Patchwork, 1810-1970” is a selection of pieces from the William Volckening Collection, which consists of more than 250 quilts dating back as far as the 18th Century. The Spring Tea will run from noon to 4 pm and is free to attend, with donations happily accepted. To add to the festivities, hats from the Latimer collections will be available for guests

to wear during the tea. All proceeds from the silent auction will go toward the new siding and windows for the building. The “Masterpiece Quilts” exhibit will run through May 4 and is available to view from 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. William Volckening’s background in the visual arts primed him for an appreciation of quilts as works of art. He studied at Rhode Island School of Design, School of Visual Arts, New York University and the International Center of Photography. He is a member of several national quilt organizations and is a Lifetime Member of the Latimer Quilt & Textile Center. Examples from The Volckening Collection have been exhibited from New York to Tokyo and have appeared

in various publications worldwide. In 2009, Volckening showed his collection of New York Beauties to the Columbia-Willamette Quilt Study Group in Eugene. Meeting the group of quilt enthusiasts gave him a new perspective on his collection and he decided to make a more concerted effort to share the quilts while continuing to collect. He created a website, posted pictures, started a blog, joined local and national quilt organizations and began visiting groups to speak about his quilts. For more information, go to www. billvolckening.com The Latimer Quilt and Textile Center is located at 2105 Wilson River Loop Road, Tillamook. For more information, call Linda Machuta at 503-842-8622 or go to www.latimerquiltandtextile.com.

coast culture Help for the verse-averse Metrophobia, or the fear of poetry, can be a very serious condition. In her definitive article on the disease, Lisa Fritscher writes: “Many people first develop this phobia in school, when overzealous teachers encourage them to rank poems according to artificial scales, break them down and search for esoteric meanings. Others simply feel that poetry is somehow ‘beyond’ them.” But metrophobes need suffer no more. Help is at hand in the form of “Panicked by Poetry,” a presentation from PSU professor and poet John Beer at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library John Beer on Sunday, March 9. Beer’s presentation is part of the library’s Oregon Reads series of events, and is intended to prepare patrons to read the work of Oregon poet William Stafford without fear. The March 9 presentation will take place at 3 pm in the library, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101. Metrophiles are encouraged to attend too, so that they may learn to identify the symptoms of metrophobia in others and offer their assistance in overcoming it. The series is sponsored by The Driftwood Library Foundation, U.S. Bancorp Foundation and The D’Sands Condominium Hotel. For more information, contact Ron Sears, at 541996-1255 or rsears@driftwoodlib.org.

Whale Cove. Birthplace of an empire?

Empire records? Do falsified logs hide Oregon’s status as birthplace of British Empire?

When he stepped off the Golden Hind and on to North American soil, English explorer Sir Francis Drake began a new chapter in the expansion of the British Empire. A plaque at Drakes Bay, just north of San Francisco, commemorates the landing. But, on Sunday, March 9, Newport historian Bob Ward will lay out his theory that Drake actually landed at Whale Cove, just south of Depoe Bay. Drake spent the summer of 1579 at an anchorage somewhere on the American West Coast, during the course of his famous voyage around the world. While there, he claimed the land for England, naming it ‘New Albion’ and placed the local people under the protection of Queen Elizabeth I. “This was the very first instance of an English colony or protectorate being established on foreign shores,” Ward said, “so wherever it took place is the birthplace and first outpost of what was to become the British Empire.” A great veil of secrecy was erected around the voyage when Drake got back to England, and when an official account of the voyage was eventually released, almost 10 years later, it placed Drake’s anchorage at 38 degrees latitude, in the region of San Francisco. In his presentations, Ward, who has been examining Drake’s voyage for more than 30 years, will present his case that the official account was deliberately falsified in several places to keep Drake’s search for the Pacific entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage secret from England’s arch-rivals, Spain. Ward, founder of the Drake in Oregon Society, says Drake actually spent that summer at Whale Cove, just south of Depoe Bay. Ward will also talk about his plans to excavate what he thinks might be a small Spanish ship that Drake captured off Costa Rica and left behind when he returned to England. He said the 25 members of Drake’s crew that stayed behind with the smaller ship were supposed to resume searching for the Northwest Passage after wintering on the Oregon Coast, but never managed to leave Oregon. Ward said the ship came to be buried beneath a tidal mud flat at Three Rocks, near the mouth of the Salmon River, where he hopes to begin excavating this summer. Ward’s March 9 presentation will take place at 5 pm at the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center, 333 SE Bay Blvd. on the Newport bay front.

Center yourself — at Sitka The doors to a wealth of knowledge about everything from paddleboarding to monoprinting will swing open on Monday, March 10, when public registration opens for the 2014 workshop season at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. Between May and September, the center will host more than 100 workshops in art, writing, music and ecology, led by knowledgeable instructors in a supportive environment. Each year, nearly a thousand students from throughout the Northwest take part in one or more of the workshops on Sitka’s picturesque campus, located just north of Lincoln City. Past students have described the Sitka Center as a nurturing place and a retreat. “The setting is so beautiful and peace-filled,” 2013 participant Marian Gerard said. “It’s a journey into art just to come here.” “I feel like I have broken through the barriers that have held me back for years,” said writing student Maureen Zwicker. “I am excited about the future of my writing.” Workshops cost anywhere from $20 to $145 per day and are geared primarily toward adults, with some offerings for youth and families. This year’s workshops include paddleboarding and ecology excursions, pinhole photography, glass casting, ecopoetics, monoprinting from nature and many more. A full listing of courses is online and catalogs are available by request. To register for a workshop or for more information, go to www.sitkacenter. org or call 541-994-5485.

Trusty — and rusty For people driving from Newport to Yachats for the Saturday, March 8, meeting of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, the journey should take less than half an hour. For that, presenter Bernard (Bernie) Covino says we should be thankful for the bridges that connect coastal communities. Without the bridges, he said, that same trip could take two days with ferry rides across Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay. Covino’s March 8 presentation will look at how coastal bridge engineers deal with the problem of corrosion. A corrosion expert, Covino spent a career monitoring and developing methods of protecting the coast’s bridges the salt air that not only corrodes the steel, but also eats away at the concrete. Corrosion is a natural process that causes $276 billion of damage each year to the nation’s infrastructure — amounting to 3.1 percent of Gross Domestic Product. The 590,000 bridges in the United States are of special concern because one in five are more than 50 years old, and a quarter are in need of repair. It is estimated that $140 billion is needed to bring current non-compliant bridges into compliance. Covino’s presentation will start at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge but a $5 donation is requested to cover publicity expenses. For more information, go to GoYachats.com/events or call 541-961-6695.

As hungry diners d walk along the Bay City pi pier surro surrounded by the immense, calm bea beauty of Tillamook Bay, fast food is probably robab the last thing on their minds. But insi inside tthe Fish Peddler restaurant, a dedicated tea team of shuckers is moving fast — workin worki working at breakneck speed stream of oysters to provide de a steady st to supplyy not only o the eatery but also customers across the country. The Fish Peddler is run by Pacific Seafood, a family-owned company that controls every step of each oyster’s journey from beds along the West Coast all the way to the kitchen and, ultimately, the plate. The Bay City processing plant receives Pacific oysters from company farms as far afield as Gray’s Harbor Bay and North Bend as well as from Tillamook Bay itself, all of which are offered in a range of tasty preparations. Retail Manager Erin Whitney said the most popular options are the Five Rivers Baked Oysters, named for the five main tributaries to Tillamook Bay — the Kilchis, Wilson, Trask, Miami and Tillamook rivers. “They take a little longer but it’s worth it” she said. While the Oysters Kilchis comes prepared with pesto, Parmesan and hot sauce; the Oysters Wilson is served with blue cheese, herbed garlic butter and breadcrumbs. The Oysters Trask come in a simple herbed butter sauce, while the Oysters Miami offers barbecue sauce and red onion. But probably the most popular of all, the Oysters Tillamook sees the mighty mollusks served with bacon, red

onion and shredded sharp cheddar from the Tillamook Cheese Factory just down the road. Each option consists of half a dozen oysters at a price of $11.95. While waiting for the oysters to bake, guests can take in the view of the bay and enjoy a drink from the selected range of beers and wines, with hefeweizen and pinot gris being among the favorites. But the broad, blue bay is not the only view on offer from the restaurant. Large interior windows allow guests to see every stage of the oyster processing operation, including the line of shuckers opening each oyster in what the company calls “the old-fashioned way — by hand with brute force, leverage and a little finesse.” “Some will turn around and let you take a picture,” Whitney said. “But mostly they are totally focused on the oysters.” For folks who prefer their oysters as the ocean intended, the restaurant serves Pacific oysters on the half shell at $10 per half dozen or $18 for a dozen. “If they want a raw oyster, they are going to get a fresh oyster,” General Manager Whitey Forsman said, “It’s just hours old most of the time.” Occasionally, the half shell offerings will also include Kumamoto oysters, a subspecies of the Pacific variety that are both a little stronger and a little sweeter. The restaurant also offers fried oysters as part of a range of appetizers that includes popcorn shrimp and crispy calamari, all of which are breaded to order. Other seafood options include fish and chips, crab cakes, razor clams and seared scallops as well as grilled salmon, halibut and steelhead. Meanwhile, cioppino and double oyster stew are perfect for warming the bones on a winter day. Moving from the surf to the turf, the restaurant also has a line of burgers crafted from Tillamook beef, accented with locally made cheeses

and wrapped in buns from the Bayfront Bakery in neighboring Garibaldi. A kids’ menu of favorites including hamburgers, hot dogs and grilled cheeses is also available. For diners with healthy appetites, the restaurant offers all-you-can-eat oysters every Wednesday and all-you-can-eat fish every Friday, both priced at $12.95. The Fish Peddler also serves as a fish market of sorts, selling white fish, steelhead, salmon, crab, manila clams, calamari and, of course, fresh oysters, for people to take home along with a range of sauces and breading supplies. “You can take the whole package home and go cook,” Whitney said. The restaurant is hard to miss, with heaping piles of oyster shells serving as a prominent landmark for travelers on Highway 101. Anyone walking past the restaurant to sit on the rough-hewn bench at the end of the pier will see a steady stream of oyster shells emerging from a conveyer belt at the back of the building. As part of its commitment to sustainability, the company uses the spent shells to re-seed its oyster farms along

the coast, providing new homes in which oyster larvae can grow to maturity. All of which guarantees a steady supply of oysters to keep those shuckers shucking for years to come. The Fish Peddler restaurant serves lunch and dinner, 10 am to 7 pm every day on the pier in Bay City. You can watch the shuckers at work from 8 am to 3 pm most weekdays. For more details, call 503-377-2323.

The scenery of the South Oregon Coast will be on display in Newport as the latest Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase highlights the work of Coos Bay artist Pat Snyder. “South Coast Textures” will open with a public reception on from 5 to 7 pm on Friday March 7, at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Refreshments will be served and guests will have the chance to meet Snyder and chat about his work. Snyder’s work in acrylics, collage and printmaking explores the essence of the southern Oregon Coast where he has lived for more than 40 years. Born in Traverse City, Michigan, Snyder now lives in Coos Bay where he is well recognized and respected for his art and as the former art teacher at the local Marshfield High School. His teaching career began in 1967 and included college-level instruction at Southwest Oregon Community College. Since he retired from the classroom in 1998, Snyder has been a working artist and a volunteer at the Coos Art Museum. He has shown extensively in Oregon and Washington, most recently with a solo exhibit at Lane Community College. Snyder said he strives to touch the viewer with the organic energy and beauty of the area by interpreting nature’s surfaces, light and depth.

“Ross Inlet II” by Pat Snyder

“Living within and observing our diverse South Coast landscape has allowed me to feel and interpret the environment while concentrating and experimenting with acrylic mediums mixed with collage and other supportive materials,” he said, adding: “My studies, sketches, and observations gradually transform back and forth from realism to abstraction as I study and look deeper into the exciting and always changing structures of nature.” Snyder is the 16th artist represented in the showcase, an exhibition space specifically for

mid-career artists who live in the seven counties on the Oregon Coast served by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the regional arts council. A video about each artist can be viewed in the Visual Artists Archive on the touchscreen computer across from the showcase. The exhibit will be on display through April 27 on the second floor of the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround.

Blow it all... ...for a good cause at the Garibaldi Crab Races Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

A

sk a dozen horseracing fans for the secret of success and you will get a dozen different answers — always keep your betting slip tucked into your hat brim; never bet against an Irish jockey; only bet on a horse that shares your birthday; and so on. But for the Garibaldi Crab Races, some of the best advice comes straight out of a Lauren Bacall movie — “just put your lips together and … blow.” “It seems to tickle them and they take off,” said Laurice Meyers, who will return to emcee the Garibaldi Lions event for the sixth year running on Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9. Figuring out how to get your crustacean steed moving is the big challenge at the races, where the golden rule is ‘hands off the crabs.’ “You can pound on the table, you can blow on them and everything else,” Meyers said, “but you can’t touch them. Once you touch it, you are disqualified.” Having attended the races for the past 25 years — first with her children and then with her grandkids — Meyers has

seen just about every trick in the book from people with their eyes fixed on first-place glory. With the Dungeness crabs placed on the racing track by stewards, contestants are denied the chance to size up the steeds in order to try and pick the one that looks like it has the most scuttle. But Meyers does have one tip for folks who want to get their crab off to a good start. “Crabs don’t run forward,” she said. “They run sideways.” Now in their 29th year, the races have evolved into a family friendly event — a far cry from their origins in the parking lot of the local Ghost Hole Tavern. It was there that a bunch of regulars decided to liven up a dull afternoon by placing bets on which crab would first reach the center of a circle drawn on the asphalt. Now, the races draw as many kids as adults, with special heats for young ones throughout the weekend. Some parents have brought babies as young as three weeks for their first crab race, albeit with a lot of help from mom and dad when it came to pounding on the track. Entry to a regular race costs between a dollar and $3 depending on the prize that’s up for grabs, which could be anything from a gift basket to a fishing trip, all donated by local businesses. For folks with their eyes set on glory, entry into a championship race costs $5, with the kids’ championship finals taking place on Saturday and adults on Sunday. Kids stand to win a bike, while the adult champ walks away with a $100 bill

and the coveted Garibaldi Crab Race trophy. Meyers said one of her tasks as emcee is to try and make sure that everyone gets to race at least once. Beyond that, she and the stewards keep a sharp eye out for any infringements, with adults usually the culprits. “They are less likely to follow the rules than the children are,” she said. “They

just go bananas.” The races run from 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday, and from noon to 5 pm on Sunday and there are plenty of refreshments on offer to keep people’s strength up — including wines from Nehalem Bay Winery, Pelican Pub beers and several crab dishes. “The losers from Saturday night’s races will be eaten Sunday,” Meyers said. Organizers ask that guests do not bring in food or drink from outside and instead buy all their refreshments on site in order to maximize the funds raised, all of which go to support the Lions’ vision and hearing projects in the community. The races take place in the Old Mill Marina, 210 3rd Street, Garibaldi. Entry is $5.

The Lincoln City Cultural Center will present an evening of classical guitar on Saturday. March 8, with a visit from James Manuele. As a soloist and ensemble performer, Manuele has performed in concert series, music festivals and concertos with local orchestras throughout the United States. His repertoire ranges from Baroque music, such as Bach’s Cello Suites, to contemporary composers, such as Bryan Johanso.

California, in 1965, Manuele began playing the guitar at 11. At the age of 15 he auditioned and ultimately studied with Celin Romero. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Music degree at MansďŹ eld University under Pablo Cohen, where he also studied voice and viola as well as receiving the SAI/Schmits award for best performance in 1996.

You had us at ‘CHOCOLATE’ Somewhere in LA, a marketing consultant is cursing himself for having been beaten to the perfect pitch for a charity gala by a group of art lovers from Tillamook. The Community Arts Project’s Saturday, March 15, fund-raiser combines three of humanity’s most basic urges into one fun-filled evening — “Your Heart’s Desire: A Celebration of Chocolate, Wine, and Art” Proceeds from the Pacific City event will go toward the Art Literacy Program that the Community Arts Project brings to Tillamook County schools. To mark the project’s 25th anniversary, this year’s celebration will feature a special art exhibit and sale, highlighting artwork created by local artists reflecting on the theme of change. Most of the pieces will be on three different sized birch panels but the show will also feature three-dimensional pieces, including

sculpture, pottery and glass. Pieces will sell for $60, $100 and $120, with all proceeds supporting the Art Literacy Program. The artwork will be for sale from noon until 5 pm at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, with no admission charge. Artists will also be on hand to demonstrate their work from 1 to 3 pm. The art sale will continue at the evening chocolate and wine party, which runs from 6:30 to 10 pm and for which tickets are required. Complimentary wine, beer, sparkling cider, appetizers and desserts will be served during the evening event, which will also include a raffle, silent auction, student art and live music. Tickets are $25 advance or $30 at the door. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 503-392-4581, email info@ communityartsproject.net, or go to www.communityartsproject.net.

Toe-tapping musical numbers and a zesty, comic script are just the thing to brighten up a soggy weekend, as the Porthole Players’ new musical production “I Love You Because” continues its three-week run in Newport. The show’s plot is loosely based on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” but set in New York City, and with gender roles cleverly reversed. Fitzwilliam Darcy becomes Marcy Fitzwilliams, a freespirited photographer agonizing over a breakup. She is set up on a double blind date with greeting card writer Austin Bennett (a sly reference to Jane Austen, perhaps?), who is smarting from an ugly breakup himself. While they don’t hit it off right away, their relationship grows as Marcy helps Austin write poetry to try to win back his ex-girlfriend. Their romance is paralleled by that of Diana and Jeff, who start out as “friends with benefits” and consider progressing to something more. Angst and hilarity (and a bit of naughtiness) ensue. Directed by Erik Furuheim, the show features a cast that is a who’swho of Newport theater. Jim Erickson (Austin Bennett) returns to the stage after triumphant appearances as Frank N. Furter in “The Rocky Horror Show” and Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The role

of Marcy Fitzwilliams is played by Megan Walters, whose incredible voice and stage presence were seen most recently when she played Ulla in “The Producers.” Justin Atkins (brilliant in “The Producers,” “Hamlet,” and dozens of other memorable lead roles) plays Austin’s brother, Jeff, and Melissa McDonald, in her first lead role, appears as Marcy’s roommate, the quirky actuary Diana Bingley. The cast is rounded out by Pete Theodore (Emile de Becque in last spring’s “South Pacific”) and Noel Sutton (also seen in “South Pacific”), both in multiple roles. Music Director Howard Lackey presides over a band that includes local keyboard genius Milo Graamans; Ron Green on bass; Rick LeDoux on drums; Jim Kuoni on guitar; and Peter Hinsbeeck on woodwinds. The show runs through March 16 in the small studio theater within the Newport Performing Arts Center, with performances at 7 pm on Friday and Saturday, March 7, 8, 14 and 15; and 2 pm matinées on Sunday, March 9 and 16. Tickets are $17 and are available at the Performing Arts Center box office, by calling 541-265-2787, or on the web at www.coastarts.org.

You have to really cell yourself Theatre West is looking for women who look like they can handle themselves in the boardroom and in the exercise yard as it gears up for a show about high-fliers who end up on the wrong side of the prison bars. “Delva Divas,” a comedy by Barbara Pease Weber, tells the story of four educated, successful, professional women who happen to share the same address — the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility, a low-level security prison for white

(and pink) collar criminals. The play will be directed by Bryan Kirsch, who recently directed “Sin, Sex and the CIA” and is currently appearing in “The Big 5-Oh.” Kirsch is looking for five or six women to fill the roles and no previous acting experience is necessary. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum commitment of four nights a week.

The play will run from May 1 through May 24, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm with call at 7 pm. Auditions will be held at 7 pm on Sunday, March 9, and Monday, March 10, at the theater, 3536 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. In addition to actors, Kirsch is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. To get involved, stop by auditions or leave a message at 541 994-5663.

on stage Heads up. It’s the 5-Oh Turning 50 has a few benefits. You can finally get on the front cover of AARP magazine for one. But none of the benefits of hitting the halfcentury are apparent to poor George Thomas, the main character in Theatre West’s latest offering “The Big 5-Oh.” The comedy, written by Brian Mitchell, catches up with George in the week leading up to his 50th birthday — and what a week it has been. His dog is sick, his son is a slacker and his daughter wants to marry a Republican. With a neurotic wife and a widowed neighbor providing even more challenges, this could turn out be the worst week of his life. But, through these trying days, George will discover the wonders of family, the responsibilities of parenthood, and the results of his latest physical. Billed as a hilarious, sometimes-touching account of a grown man coming to terms with his age, “The Big 5-Oh” is directed by Theatre West veteran Wes Ryan, who most recently occupied the director’s chair for “Ghost of a Chance.” The play stars Bryan Kirsch as George, Kiera Morgan as Marie, Sherri Danielson as Kathy, Karen Davis as Julie, Ren Jacob as Douglas, Hailey Morris as Sara and Rick Ryan as Eric. Danielle Ryan is assistant director, with Danny Roberson serving as stage manager and Dennis Gibson handling set construction. “The Big 5-Oh” runs from Thursday, March 6, through Saturday, March 29, with performances at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Doors open at 7:30 pm. On Sunday, March 23, there will be a matinée presentation at 2 pm, with doors opening at 1:30 pm, to give an opportunity to folks who can’t make an evening show. Tickets are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors and students; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount of $9 per ticket is available for groups of 10 or more with a prepaid reservation To reserve seats, call 541-994-5663, leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City.

A COUNTRY SONG

T

hree months ago, I completely stopped listening to rock and roll whenever I drive up and down the Oregon Coast. I have no idea why. One day, I simply didn’t care to hear this once mighty and culturally relevant genre of popular music so out went all the CDs, mix tapes and preset FM classic rock stations digitally broadcast from Los Angeles and hosted by DJs who sold their souls to the algorithmic devil of corporate radio. For a while, I tried sports talk, but the dizzying statistical meaningless of everything said on-air by the unlettered announcers was simply unbearable after a few million words about the Oregon Duck football team’s punt return unit. Next, I turned to hellfire Christian radio but it reminded me too much of my contrarian youth, being a preacher’s kid and all. Then I landed on Warrenton’s 1230 AM, “The Spirit of The West,” playing the greatest country hits of all time but thankfully, virtually nothing from the last 20 years. Simply incredible! Johnny Paycheck, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Charlie Rich, Crystal Gayle, The Oak Ridge Boys, and so many great songs I’ve never heard before. Solid country corn pone western crying drinking pedal steel hillbilly honky tonk whiskey gold! As I listened, drove, and watched the gray ocean roll here and there, a question popped into my

mind: What’s the greatest country song about beaches? Then I heard Sonny the husky snore as she rode shotgun next to me in the pickup (the girlfriend rides in the back under the canopy) and another question arose: What’s the greatest country song about dogs? I could have pulled over and googled the smartphone for answers but I’m sick of doing that. (Is there a country song about googling the cowgirl in the sand who broke your heart?) Sometimes I want to rely on real paper maps and my analog turntable memory…so I thought hard, country blue-collar hard, and cranked the volume up. Of course! “Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffet, the first song I ever learned to play on guitar, and “Ol’ Red,” immortalized by George Jones, about a warden’s hunting dog that helps a convict escape. Then I wondered. What’s the greatest country song about dogs and beaches? Wait! I wrote the greatest country song about dogs and beaches a couple of years ago after my dog Ray died and a lame country singer dumped me for a minor rock and roll star. It’s called “I Had to Put My Dog Down” and I dream of hearing it one day on a late-night public radio station’s local country music program hosted by a real human being who actually lives in the rural town he’s allegedly broadcasting from. My song is a simple three-chord (D-A-G) ditty with a loping rhythm. I fingerpick parts of it here and there whenever the mood or the shakes strike and I never play it the same way twice. Why should I? I’ve performed it twice publicly, at the Newport High School Friday Lunch Jam as a solo act and at the legendary Sunday night open mic at Hoover’s bar in South Beach, this time backed by the equally legendary house band, Thorn. Man, did those guys lay down a tasty Nashville groove! I’ve changed a few of the lyrics since then, but the song is pretty much the same. Here you go, and I welcome cover versions by real musicians.

(chorus and intro) Had to put my dog down today wish it been that ex girlfriend I miss old Ray, he’s the best friend I ever had. Had to put my dog down today wish it been that ex girlfriend She’s a country singer who hates the Rolling Stones. (verse) Met her at the beach down Tillamook way Cute crazy thing said her name was Susie Mae Pretty soon we were making out in the waves I was so smitten I forgot about Ray (verse) Three weeks later she moved in with me Told me straight up, “Matt got to have my cable TV” Found out she eats fast food and never reads Got her drunk and she said she didn’t even like the beach (chorus) (verse…slowed down) Finally had to kick her on down the road I don’t mind being on the beach alone Pretty soon I’ll head down to the pound, find a furry friend I don’t mind having around. (chorus and fade out with various disparaging remarks about the ex-girlfriend) Matt Love’s latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,” is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores.
