It is a time for growing families here at the Oregon Coast TODAY. Not only are my wife, Krista, and I expecting our first child — a little boy with what looks to me like a fine writing hand — but our parent company, East Oregonian Media Group is also growing. In a deal that closed last week, EO Media Group acquired the Seaside Signal, Cannon Beach Gazette and Coast River Business Journal from Country Media Inc. Added to the TODAY and the Daily Astorian, the new acquisitions mean our company now has five publications serving the Oregon Coast from Yachats to Astoria. The Signal, which was founded in 1905 and serves Seaside and Gearhart, publishes each Thursday. The Gazette, founded in 1998, is Patrick Alexander, editor published every other week on Thursdays and serves the communities of Cannon Beach, Tolovana and Arch Cape. Coast River Business Journal is published monthly. It was founded in 2006 by Susan Trabucco of Astoria. Country Media Inc. will continue to publish The News Guard in Lincoln City, the North Coast Citizen in Manzanita and the Tillamook Headlight Herald as well as the St Helen’s Chronicle. While we publish right here in Lincoln City and print in Astoria, EO Media Group is headquartered in Salem and has been under the same family ownership since 1908. For more information about our company, go to www.EOMediaGroup.org. For more information about our baby boy, stop me in the grocery store.

Old writers never die... ... and sometimes they even refuse to fade away Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Theatre West’s new production, “Rose’s Dilemma” by Neil Simon is a story about how people appear when we need them most — both on stage and off. Set in a beach house in the Hamptons, the play opens with celebrated writer Rose Stern facing potential ruin. She hasn’t written anything in years and her refusal to trim her extravagant lifestyle means she is facing bankruptcy. Her former lover, literary lion Walsh McLaren, appears from beyond the grave to offer an opportunity to regain her celebrity and make millions — complete his last, unfinished book. The cast and crew had a welcome visitation of their own three weeks into rehearsals when one of the four players had to drop out just a week and a half before opening night. Out of the ether emerged Riley Lozano who, despite having just finished the run of “Nana’s Naughty Knickers” and started a new job, took on the role when approached by directors Cindy Wesolowski and Danny Robeson. “She came through,” Wesolowski said. And so, when the curtain went up on the Feb. 27 dress rehearsal, Lozano performed faultlessly in her role as Rose’s personal assistant, Arlene; not missing a beat as she traded verbal barbs with Bonnie Ross as Rose, John Farrell as Walsh and David Crayk as Clancy, the paperback hack hired to finish Walsh’s last work. Robeson said the “razor-sharp” dialog and back-and-forth exchanges will be familiar to fans of Neil Simon’s Pulitzer-prize winning style. “It’s Neil Simon kind of revisiting Blithe Spirit,” he said. Having signed up as assistant director, Robeson quickly got more than he bargained for after Wesolowski suffered health problems in the run up to the show. Wesolowski said she was able to get the production blocked — mapping out where actors should position themselves on the set — before having to take some time off and hand over the reins to Robeson. “Boy, I was gone for a few days” she said, “and I came back and he had a firm grasp on it. I said ‘you’re doing fine sweetie.’” Robeson said the main challenge he faced was ensuring that the timing of the dialog was as tight as possible to maximize the impact of the characters’ exchanges. Robeson is no stranger to chance intervening in his theatrical career. Having moved to Newport in 2000, he got his first role when he waved at a friend on stage, only for the director to

think he was volunteering. He went on to play roles in productions by the Porthole Players and, later, the Red Octopus Theatre Company before getting involved with Theatre West “I just found myself saying ‘I love this,’” he said. For Wesolowski, Theatre West was the chance to get back into theater, which she had enjoyed at high school before her focus shifted to job and a family. When she got to town about five years ago, she saw a call for auditions and signed up. For the next two years straight, she said, there was not a show on the Jack Coyne stage that she was not somehow involved with. Both agree one of the play’s greatest strengths is the way it blends drama and comedy to powerful effect. I wouldn’t call it a comedy,” Robeson said. “It’s a very dramatic look at an author’s life at the end of her years and she takes comfort in seeing this spirit of her lover to converse with.” Set design is by Paul Steinman, Shelby Barton is stage manager and Bryan Kirsch is the lights and sound technician. The play, which runs roughly one hour and 40 minutes, will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings through Saturday, March 23 at Theatre West, 3536 SE Hwy. 101. Robeson advised people to come early in the run, saying local theatergoers have a habit of leaving it until the final weekend only to find all three nights sold out. On performance days, the box office is open at 2 pm, the doors open at 7:30 pm and the curtain goes up promptly at 8 pm. Tickets for the show are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors (62 and up) and for students; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. Advance reservations for all performances are recommended. Call 541-994-5663, leave a message and someone will call you back.

Don’t forget “Memory� If you keep forgetting to buy tickets for the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts’ show, “Memory,� be warned — time is running out, with the run ending this weekend. Directed by Bill Farnum, “Memory� consists of two one-act plays — “I Can’t Remember Anything� and “The 75th� — both of which explore memory and growing older in different ways. “I Can’t Remember Anything� by Arthur Miller is the story of two neighbors — she a widow whose life seems to be stuck since her husband’s death and he the gruff best friend of her late husband. “The 75th� by Israel Horovitz is set in a restaurant for the occasion of the seventy-fifth reunion of a high-school class — of which only two members remain. Now in their nineties, the two mistake each other for several other classmates and can’t quite remember their real identities. The final two performances are scheduled for 7 pm on Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March 9, at the newly remodeled Barn Community Playhouse, located at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. Doors open one-half hour prior to curtain. For tickets, call Diamond Art Jewelers at 503-8427940. For more information, go to www.tillamooktheater.com.

Go “All In� at Theatre West With the extra-marital shenanigans of former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus still fresh in the nation’s memory, there could hardly be a better time for Theatre West to tackle “Sin, Sex and the CIA� a comedy by Michael and Susan Parker. The Lincoln City Theater company is looking for three men and four women to star in the play, which opens with the discovery of oil in the The Chagos Islands, which quickly come under pressure from OPEC to join the cartel. An incompetent CIA agent and an undersecretary of state, whose life appears to be run by her libido, are sent to a CIA safe house in the mountains of Virginia to begin negotiations for the U.S. to place the Chagos Islands under their protection. Unfortunately, no one knows who the islands’ representative really is. Add to the mix a stranded televangelist; his innocent — or maybe not so innocent — secretary; an ex-marine caretaker who isn’t what he seems; and a mysterious, glamorous neighbor and you have a complex, laugh out loud farce, that can be played on any stage. The play is set to run at 8 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Thursday, May 2, through Saturday, May 25. Auditions will be held at 7 pm on Sunday, March 10, and Monday, March 11, at the theatre, 3536 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. No previous acting experience is necessary.  Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. In addition to actors, Director Bryan Kirsch is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. If you are interested, stop by auditions and introduce yourself to Kirsch or leave a message on the office phone at 541 994-5663. For more information about Theatre West, go to www.theatrewest.com or call 541-994-5663.

O Brother, when art thou done? Brides and brothers of all ages will take to the stage this weekend for a final burst of rambunctious energy and big musical numbers as Coastal Act Productions’ run of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothersâ€? comes to a close. Set in the Oregon wilderness in 1850, the show tells the story of Millie, a young bride whose plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage backfires when the brothers kidnap six women from a neighboring town to be their brides. The show, which opened on Feb. 22, has a cast of 65, including adults, high-school students and about 15 kids from elementary school. The show will play at 7 pm on Friday, March 8, and at 2 pm and 7 pm on Saturday, March 9, at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street, Newport. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. Call the Newport Performing Arts Center box office at 541-265-2787 to order tickets, or visit the box office at 777 W. Olive Street in Newport.

Coasting into ďŹ rst place We can’t rule out the possibility of bias, but we at the Oregon Coast TODAY are firmly of the opinion that writing about the Oregon Coast is a fine way to spend your time. The folks at the Waldport Public Library obviously agree, having made “The Oregon Coastâ€? the theme for a writing competition that is open to all middle and high school students throughout Lincoln County in public, private and home school programs. The Waldport Library 2013 Young Writers’ Oregon Coast Short Story/Essay Competition challenges contestants to write a short fiction or an essay, with the Oregon Coast as part of its focus — whether it is a mystery set on the coast or an essay about living here. The library is also hoping for submissions that consider a wide-range of audience. Entries must be in final draft, typewritten form and be between 800 and 1,500 words in length. Submissions should also include a removable cover sheet containing personal information, the title of the story, word count and grade level. Judges will only read the title and the story. Entrants stand a chance at winning “Writers’ Encouragement Prize Basketsâ€? from Lincoln County businesses or even the grand prize, a Kindle paperwhite 3G donated by the library. The library is asking businesses throughout Lincoln County to contribute an item from their business that might encourage a young writer. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, April 2, and winners will be announced at the Waldport Public Library, at 5 pm on Thursday, April 18. Applications are available through schools, libraries and at the Waldport Library website, www. waldportlibrary.org and should be mailed by March 21 to the Waldport Public Library, 460 Hemlock, P.O. Box 1357, Waldport, OR 97394. For more information, contact Sharon McCrum, family outreach coordinator, or Jill Tierce, library director, at 541 563-5880. Â

Marsh on in to the aquarium The Oregon Coast Aquarium is seeking little explorers to take a look at the creatures who live where the rivers meet the ocean. The Wednesday, March 13, session of Aquatots will look at marshes and the amazing creatures that live in them. Aquatots is a free, interactive preschool program specially designed for children age 3-5 years old accompanied by an adult. The Aquatots program invites preschoolers on a voyage of discovery as they explore the wonders of the sea. Aquatots is free with admission to the aquarium and no registration is required. The program takes place from 10:30-11:30 am on the second Wednesday of the month in the Sea & Me Theater at the aquarium, 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport.

It’s the future – you dig? A new Lincoln County 4-H club is inviting members to join the “garden of the future� to learn about organic gardening, computer programming, aquaponics, finance, composting and entrepreneurship — all in one plot. This spring the 4-H Sustainable Living Club will start a 7,500-square-foot garden in Toledo that will use the latest gardening techniques to develop a local, organic, sustainable food source. High school students from anywhere in the county are invited to join the club and take part in what is being called the Organic Sustainable Food Source Project. Through the Toledo garden, which will use the old community garden west of the town’s skate park, youth will be introduced to the EarthBarrels and EarthBeds self-wicking gardening systems as well as a compost hot water system and a subterranean heating and cooling system. They will learn to grow food with and without soil, manage the greenhouse and program its computer controls as well as learn how the garden of the future could make them money. The project will also employ aquaponics, a closed system that uses fish waste to provide an organic food source for the plants and the plants to provide a filter to clean the water for the fish. The club’s organizers are encouraging Lincoln County high school students and adult volunteers to get involved. No experience is required and all different levels of participation are possible. For more information, contact the 4-H Sustainable Living Club leaders, Carl and Coralee Palmer, at 541-765-2109, or via email at nextday@cablespeed.com; or contact 4-H Agent Todd Williver at 541-574-6534, or via email at todd.williver@oregonstate.edu.

Thank You! The owners of the 60’s Cafe would like to thank everyone who donated to the benefit in aid of our son, Matt, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Our customers and local businesses were overwhelmingly generous and a blessing to Matt and his family. The benefit raised $8,000 toward Matt’s medical costs. A big part of that was raised from the sale of gift baskets we made from items donated by local businesses. All our customers who donated helped give Matt and his family the peace of mind so that they could cover bills and pay for gas to and from the hospital. They still have a long road ahead of them but now have an army of people praying for them and wishing them well and that has given Matt the determination to fight and beat this cancer. Thank you to all for the support and generosity. Without your help it would have been a much harder road to go down.

Thank You! Robert & Pattie Long Matt & Heather Paulsen Kids The Chowder Bowl & 60’s Cafe

in concert

Two Celts, no kilts As a holder of both Scottish and Irish citizenship, this editor can confidently say that 90 percent of meetings between these two proud nations end with either a fistfight or a singsong. Fortunately for Lincoln City, Irishman James Keigher and Scotsman Donnie Macdonald got musical rather than physical when they bumped into each other on Southern California’s Celtic music scene and have been playing together since 1986 as Men of Worth. The pair will perform at Lincoln City Cultural Center on Friday, March 8, as part of the inaugural Devils Lake Community Concert Series. Macdonald comes from the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland. Writing tunes and original songs in both his first language Gaelic and in English, he presents Scottish music with passion and humor, performing on vocals, octave mandolin, tenor banjo, concertina and bodhrán. Keigher comes from County Mayo in the west of Ireland and was raised in Charlestown, a small rural community, steeped in traditional music and stories. He is a singer, writer and collector of traditional and contemporary folk music. He performs on vocals, guitar, mando-cello and bodhrán. Whilst remaining true to their Gaelic roots, Men of Worth have successfully evolved as entertainers, blending their voices with harmony and supporting their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments. They have a very simple approach to their performances and, in keeping with tradition, remain true to the music and story, presenting a memorable combination of humor, exciting tunes and soulful, heartfelt ballads. Doors for the March 8 show open at 6:30 pm, with the music starting at 7 pm at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free, when accompanied by an adult. For tickets and information, call 541-994-9994, head to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, or become a friend on Facebook.

Show aims to jazz up theater Musicians from Portland and Southern California will converge on the Newport Performing Arts Center on Friday, March 15, for Jazz Stars Reunion — a concert aimed at raising funds to enhance the acoustics of the center’s Alice Silverman Theatre. At the core of the reunion are vocalist Gene Diamond and drummer Mel Brown, who have known each other since first meeting in Portland as teenagers. Diamond brings his friends Jim Hughart (bass) and Yevette Stewart (vocals) from the Los Angeles area, and Mel Brown brings his musical director, Jof Lee (piano), from Portland. Rounding out the group is Lincoln County’s own John Bringetto on trumpet, saxophone and flute. Diamond has been involved with many benefits throughout his career and has performed on the Steve Allen Show, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Allen Ludden’s Gallery and his own PBS show, “On Tour With Gene Diamond,” which had a two-year run. Brown is a fixture on the Portland jazz scene and is known throughout the Northwest as a drummer, bandleader and educator. He has served on the board of the Youth Symphony, performed several times with the Oregon Symphony and was named to the Jazz Society of Oregon Hall of Fame in 1999. Bringetto has played the jazz chair in the Stan Kenton Neophonic, and has backed such singers as Nancy Wilson, John Davidson, Johnny Mathis, Bill Medley, Frankie Avalon and BB King. An avid educator, he became band/choir director of Newport High School, director of Lincoln Pops Big Band and has a jazz duo, Bringetto-Cameron Jazz Orchestra. Hughart has played bass for Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee and Sammy Davis, Jr. to name a few. He has been honored by National Academy of Recording Artists with its Most Valuable Player Award. Meanwhile, Stewart, has been hailed by the late jazz critic Leonard Feather as a singer with “jazz roots … good taste in tunes and plenty, plenty of soul.” Lastly, Lee, a veteran of three decades of studies, performances and appearances in venues through Canada, Europe, Japan and the U.S., is currently performing both domestically and internationally as a soloist as well as with his own trio. Hosted by Twylah Olson and with sponsorship from the Embarcadero, the show will begin at 7:30 pm at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street, Newport.

The Devils Lake Community Concert Series will conclude on May 17 with a visit from Presidio Brass, whose concert “Sounds of the Cinema” offers some of the finest classical music ever heard on screen from John Williams to Samuel Barber and Queen to Leonard Bernstein.

Proceeds from the show will go toward the cost of acoustic improvements to allow the Alice Silverman Theater to provide state-of-the-art natural-sounding acoustics appropriate to a wide variety of performances — from classic theatre productions to jazz and everything in between. Tickets are $25 per person or $15 for students, and are available at the center’s box office or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787). Box office hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and one hour prior to performance times.

Yachats gets jammed with talent Newport High School students will perform acts honed during their weekly Friday Lunch Jam at a talent show in the Yachats Commons on March 8. The hour-long show will feature music and spoken word performances as well as a display of photography from the school’s journalism class. Newport High School teacher Matt Love, who holds the Friday Lunch Jam sessions in his room, said the tradition has become a campus sensation. “We’ve got some remarkably talented students,” he said. “We began it four years ago and it’s become a hit with over 900 individual or group performances. Who said rock is dead?” “You will not believe the quality of the talent, musical and spoken word,” he added. “We’ve got rock, blues, pop, folk, emo, metal, country and some real beatnik poets. Our photographers are very accomplished also.” Featured performers include Broken Culture, Nakaia Brogran, The Derp Patrol, Brie Staunton, Orchid Instinct, Creed Peterson, Grayson Bear, Nathan Bearden, Richelle Schatz, Slanderous Vitriol, The Steve Jones Band, Servants of the Kelp and Domenica Gavin. Newport High Senior Jay Gassner will emcee the event. Entry to the show is by donation, with all proceeds going toward the school’s 2013 literary review. Student photographs will be available for purchase as will copies of the 2012 literary review, which includes a bonus DVD of last year’s Yachats performance. The show is presented by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences, which appreciates a $5 donation to help cover publicity expenses. The show will start at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Highway 101 N, 4th Street and Highway 101, Yachats. For more information, go to GoYachats.com or call 541-961-6695.

A big night for big band The be-bopping, skidoo-ing, super-swinging Lincoln Pops Orchestra will return to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on March 9 for a Big Band Saturday night concert. The Pops will be playing favorites from the era of Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Glenn Miller and the gang, with audience members invited to either just sit and listen, or really cut a rug on the dance floor of the center’s auditorium. Beer, wine and refreshments will be available for sale. The Lincoln Pops Orchestra, also known as the Lincoln Pops Big Band, has been performing in Lincoln County for more than 30 years. The band has evolved into one of the finest big bands in Oregon. A nonprofit organization, the Lincoln Pops is dedicated to preserving and passing along the heritage of the big band era. Led by Newport High School’s Band/Choir Director and trumpet artist, John Bringetto, the Lincoln Pops plays all types of dance music, including swing, Latin and jazz tunes. Members include current and retired professional musicians, band directors, former high school and college players and even a few talented local high school students. And every big band needs a great vocalist; the Pops has four. Doors for the March 9 gig will open at 6:30 pm, with the concert scheduled to begin at 7 pm at the center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

potpourri Should be a lovely evening

Sounds more than fair

On Saturday, March 16, Writers on the Edge will feature an evening with Oregon Coast writer, columnist and teacher Matt Love. A native of Oregon City, Love is the publisher of Nestucca Spit Press as well as the author/editor of 10 books about Oregon. His books include “The Beaver State Trilogy,” “Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon’s Sesquicentennial Anthology,” “Super Sunday in Newport,” “Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker,” and “Love & The Green Lady, Meditations.” His latest book is “Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel,” which completes his Newport Trilogy. In 2009, Love won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. Love is also a regular columnist for the Oregon Coast TODAY. He lives in South Beach with his dog and teaches English, photography, creative writing and journalism at Newport High School. He is currently working on a book about rain. The program begins at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 Beach Drive, Newport. An open mic for local writers will follow the presentation. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. For more information, visit www.writersontheedge.org.

The Tillamook County Fair’s Spring Bazaar will return this March 16 and 17, with retail vendors including Avon, Scentsy, and Tupperware appearing alongside the traditional handmade offerings for the first time. The bazaar took a break in 2012 but is set to return in what Fair Manager Miranda Muir hopes will be an event marked by musical performances throughout the day as well as increased participation by all types of exhibitors. “Websites such as Etsy and Pinterest are extremely popular right now,” Muir said. “There is so much interest in arts and crafts that the possibilities are endless and the talent is unbelievable.” Muir said the focus of the Spring Bazaar will remain on “handmade” items. “We hope adding a few small business representatives will give shoppers a more full experience,” she said “We want them to come and enjoy an entire afternoon exploring what local artisans and entrepreneurs have to offer.” The fair board will be providing concessions for the two-day event, serving breakfast and lunch items. Proceeds from the concessions will benefit the nonprofit fair, helping not only with the four-day event held in August, but also to help maintain the fairgrounds and buildings year round. The bazaar will be open 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 16, and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, March 17, at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds 4603 3rd Street, Tillamook. Admission and parking are free. For more information, call the fair office at 503-842-2272.

Volunteers needed for Round 2 After successfully removing more than 1,000 pounds of derelict crabbing gear from the shoreline of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area near Newport, a clean up crew is asking volunteers to help with another two-day effort to clean up the rest. The Surfrider Foundation says about two thirds of the gear from the fishing vessel Chevelle, which sank in March 2012, remains on the pristine cobblestone beach. The gear includes rope as well as foam crab floats, which, if left at the mercy of the waves, will break apart on the rocks. In partnership with the Bureau of Land Management and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, The Surfrider Foundation has organized a two-day cleanup aimed at removing the remaining flotsam from the site. On Friday, March 8, from 2 to 6 pm, volunteers are needed to cut apart the rope and metal that remains and move it against the headland for removal the next day. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, and bring along tools if they have them such as knives with serrated blades, hacksaws with blades for cutting metal debris, sturdy hand pruners that can clip rope, and battery-powered reciprocating saws. From 2 to 6 pm on Saturday, March 9, work will consist of cutting apart any remaining debris and hauling it all over the lava outcrop and out of the site via the stairway. To participate in the cutting of the rope, volunteers must scramble over a lava outcropping and down several large boulders. Volunteers should be aged at least 14 due to the rocky terrain at the site and should be prepared to climb and descend more than 100 stairs to get to and from the beach. Surfrider Foundation will supply gloves for volunteers needing them and bags to carry debris from the site. Volunteers must register at the Yaquina Head Lighthouse interpretive center. Take a left at NW Lighthouse Drive near the northern end of Newport and follow signs for the interpretive center. RSVP is appreciated, contact Peter Snell at nptsurfridercc@ gmail.com or 541-520-5174.

Man on a mission

Clock with Bird by Horst Wolf

With space entrepreneur Dennis Tito looking for a couple to represent humanity on a 520-day-long mission to Mars, there is one Oregon Coast artist who might well warrant a place on the shortlist. From the look of his back catalog, Horst Wolf would have a pretty good idea what to look out for as the spacecraft sailed past the Red Planet, with Martians having featured prominently in an artistic output that also includes landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Wolf would also probably know a thing or two about orbits, having worked for 40 years on communication satellites in Silicon Valley after immigrating to the U.S. from his native Germany in 1957. It was not until after retiring in 1995, that Wolf was able to indulge his lifelong interest in art, taking watercolor classes while living in Redwood City, Calif. While living in the Bay Area, Wolf participated in many local and regional exhibits, had six one-man shows in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and won numerous awards. Largely self-taught, he took another class from Liz James of Brookings soon after moving there in 2001. He has been juried into exhibits of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, the California Watercolor Association and the Coos Art

Museum. Horst’s slowly changing style runs the gamut from transparent watercolors to surreal and nonrepresentational work in mixed media to mixed media assemblage art from found objects. He likes to pick a topic and then generate a series of paintings that culminate in a oneman show. Sometimes he writes accompanying text and publishes a booklet for the exhibit. Horst is a member of the Pelican Bay Arts Association in Brookings, the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the California Watercolor Association. He is currently represented by a half dozen galleries in Southern Oregon. Wolf ’s work can be seen throughout March at the Newport Visual Arts Center, where he is the subject of a Coastal Oregon Visual Artist Showcase and Video Archive hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. The showcase, which includes a video of the artist, is open from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. For more information about exhibiting in the showcase, contact Sally Houck at 541-265-6569.

Get away from the daily grind

artsy

The art of the skate park will be on display at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, with those who flip, spin and grind displaying an eye-popping collection of work, from sculpture to paintings and from pen and ink drawings to photography. “SKART a sk8board art show� features works by artists who either grew up skateboarding in Lincoln City or moved there to be near its famed skate park. Created by Dreamland Skateparks, the Lincoln City facility won a place on cover of Thrasher magazine as “Americas Gnarliest Skatepark� in 1999 and remains a skateboarding Mecca. One artist who moved west to experience the skate scene on the Oregon Coast is Kat Iwasa, who traveled and skateboarded all over the U.S. and parts of Canada before settling in Lincoln City six years ago. Iwasa, who will be displaying ball point pen drawings, prints and surreal, acrylic paintings at the show, said skaters tend to be artists because they think outside the box, seeing the world from a different perspective. Iwasa said her attitude is summed up by a tile at the Newport Skate Park, which reads: “Skateboarding is like Jazz, pure American culture.� The show will also feature local skater Sarah Scanlan, who works with collage, wax and oil paint to create rich and unique paintings that are usually inspired by people. She attended the art program at Southern Oregon University and is currently working on a series of paintings that will be based on the people of the skate park. The photography of Micheal Walty and the woodwork of Tavita Scanlan will also be in the show. Scanlan is an original builder for the Dreamland Skateparks and continues to help them build skate parks all over the world. Drew Banks is another local skater who will be in the show. He uses actual skateboards to make skateboard art that is colorful, creative and functional. Other guests at the show will be Trevor Clark and Rachel Hunter, both of whom grew up skating in the area and now live in Portland. Clark does surrealist oil paintings and drawings, and Hunter makes sharpie marker drawings and prints. This “SKART� show promises to be an outpouring of local skateboard culture as well as an art event, with The Rusty Truck Brewing Company at Roadhouse 101 adding to the atmosphere by donating a pony keg of beer for refreshment at the Friday March 8 opening reception. The reception runs from 5 to 7 pm at the cultural center’s Chessman Gallery, 540 NE Hwy 101. The show will be open to view from 10 am to 4 pm, Thursday to Monday through April 8, with a portion of all proceeds from art sold going toward the Lincoln City Skate Park.

A full-scale art show A series of Gyotaku prints by Toledo artist Heather Fortner will be on display throughout March at the Newport Visual Arts Center in a show entitled “Beneath the Surface.” Fortner has been performing Gyotaku, a printmaking technique that uses the body of a fish as the printing plate, since 1976, studying with printmakers in Japan and the U.S. She has been teaching classes in the art form for 25 years. “Although not schooled in art, when I saw a gyotaku print of red squirrelfish in Hawaii in 1976, I knew that I had found my medium,” she said. “Gyotaku also offered a valuable life lesson. By being able to express myself artistically through the body of a fish, I discovered that I am instinctively creative. Gyotaku opened the door into my creative world, and I encourage my students to discover and explore their own innate artistry with fish, ink, and paper.” Fortner said the sea has always played a major role in her life, from her days writing about edible seaweed while earning a degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Hawaii to her eventual career in the U.S. Merchant Marine, where she rose through the ranks from messman to ship’s master. “I was occasionally home ported in Japan, and had the opportunity to visit the studios of gyotaku masters in that country” she said “I returned to Japan in May 2010 for additional study with my gyotaku sensei — Mineo Yamamoto in his International Fish Printing Studio outside Tokyo.” Fortner’s work has been published and displayed in the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. Now retired from the merchant marine service, she works out of her studio, Orchid Streett e, Studio West in Toledo, with the bounty of the Pacific Ocean as her printing subjects. Additional work can be seen at her website, www.heatherfortner.com. “Beneath the Surface” is sponsored by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and can be seen from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday to Saturday in the Upstairs Gallery of the Newport Visual Arts Center at the Nye Beach Turnaround, 777 NW Beach Drive, Newport. The gallery is also open by appointment. Call 541-265-6569 for details.

Pinch me... Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

am I dreaming or are those guys racing crabs?

At the Garibaldi Crab Races, there are eyes on stalks and faces red with excitement — and that’s just the jockeys. With the contest set for this weekend, the eight-legged stars of the show are limbering up for what promises to be another fine weekend of galloping crustacean fun. Now in its 28th year, this annual search for the fastest shellfish on Tillamook Bay has come a long way from its humble origins in Garibaldi’s Ghost Hole Tavern, when a few patrons decided to place bets on which crab would make it to the center of a circle painted in the parking lot. “They started with just a couple of bored, old guys,” race announcer Laurice Meyers said. “It was raining and there was nothing to do.” As the event grew, it was taken on first by the City of Garibaldi and, six years ago, by the Garibaldi Lions Club — evolving throughout the years into a family event that sees little kids lining up alongside burly men for the chance to gee their steed on to victory. “It’s something you have to see to believe,” Meyers said, “because a lot of people say ‘crabs don’t race.’” But race they do — when properly motivated. After jockeys take their place, lined up six abreast at a custom-made, six-lane crab-racing track, stewards place a live Dungeness crab in each lane. Jockeys are then allowed to use pretty much any means short of shoving to persuade their crab to scuttle down the track. “You can scream, you can yell, you can pound on the table,” Meyers said, “but you can’t touch the crab.” Meyers said some people blow on the crabs while some people sing and that, every so often, stewards have to remind jockeys about the cardinal “no touching” rule. “It’s because people get excited and they don’t think about it,” she said. “It’s not done on purpose.” Upon reaching the end of the track, the crabs topple off into a net where they stay, waggling

their legs skyward until stewards pluck them out and return them to the waiting totes. Because of the pounding it receives with every race, the crab track is refurbished every year by dedicated volunteers and stands ready with a fresh coat of paint for this year’s onslaught. With two days of races, there is something to meet the needs of every crab racer, from first timers to kids to old masters. Folks confident in their crab motivation powers might want to stump up $5 to enter the championship races, which offer the chance to win the coveted crab race trophy and a $100 dollar bill. Meyers said she also makes a point of holding special races for young kids and teens as well as random races where jockeys pay a dollar or two for the chance to win a gift certificate donated by a local business. From the prizes to the volunteers to the seafood dealer that gives a good deal on the crabs, Meyers said community support is crucial to the event and one of the reasons it has survived into its 28th year. Meyers said that since she took over as announcer there have not been any races that required a photo finish to determine the winner. “There’s always one crab that’s faster than the others,” she said. But, unlike the Roman gladiators that their lives so closely mimic, none of the crabs is ever fast enough to win its freedom. When the last race is run, all of the racing crabs are available to buy and take home for dinner. Crab is also on the menu throughout the day, with a wide range of foods available to buy, including seafood salads, sandwiches, Pirates Cove clam chowder and desserts. Organizers request that attendees refrain from bringing in any food or beverages from outside. As well as being the perfect weekend for those looking to claw their way to crustacean glory, Meyers said the event is the perfect weekend for people who want to have fun with the family. “It has gradually run into being a big, huge family event,” she said, “and it’s a blast because the kids just have a ball.” The Garibaldi Crab Races take place at the Old Mill Marina, 210 Third Street, Garibaldi. Doors open at 10 am on Saturday, March 9, with racing from 11 am to 6 pm; and at 11 am on Sunday, March 10, with racing from noon to 5 pm. Entrance fee is $3 for adults and $1 for kids aged 6 to 12. Kids 5 and under get in free.

Tide Tables | The TODAY’s Dining Guide Q drive through, we purchased the same manually operated espresso machines and grinders that Stumptown uses in their sit down cafes. Anyone that has visited one of Stumptown’s boutique cafes realizes making the perfect coffee is not as simple as just pushing a button. It takes skilled and passionate baristas, the right equipment and a great bean. That is why we at Mojo believe coffee making is truly an art form.” Speaking of equipment, Stumptown Coffee Roasters’ headquarters in Southeast Portland is filled with a dizzying array, from the shiny “Speedster” espresso machine designed by Klees Van Der Westen in the lobby to an unassuming little French drip pot in the quality control room. In this room, every type of coffee brewing is tested. “It’s important that we know how the coffee will taste in all the different ways it can be brewed,” said Colombo. “Some coffees shine using all these methods, or they do best with one particular system. The ability to vet each one to see where it’s going to shine is really important.” In addition, each Mojo barista attends ongoing training at Stumptown headquarters and onsite at Mojo. “We continue to be amazed by the level of support provided by Stumptown,” said Meredith. Once the decision to carry Stumptown coffee beans at Mojo was made, the Oksenholts moved on to planning the food menu, which they purposefully kept simple. “Rather than having an extensive menu, we wanted to have a simple menu consisting of fresh, quality food items. Whenever possible we use locally sourced ingredients and products,” said Meredith. “The dough for our muffins and scones come from Rockfish Bakery, but we bake them here so that everything is fresh daily. And of course our famous cookies are also baked throughout the day.” If you aren’t in the mood for sweets, there are savory items as well. “We’re becoming known for our breakfast sandwich,” said Meredith. “I wanted our ingredients to be fresh, not frozen, so we fry our own eggs, and then add fresh cheese and ham or sausage. We use Tillamook Vintage White ChedSean Sparnon, Jon Oksenholt, Meredith dar, which I think makes the sandwich. We also make our own cream cheese Oksenholt, Jessica Sanders and Erik Merrel spread using Barnacle Bill’s salmon, and a veggie cream cheese where we chop up all the vegetables right here in the shop.” Although Stumptown coffee is the base upon which they built their beverage menu, Mojo also To get the full story behind Mojo Coffee, the Lincoln City based drive-through in the stylish offers other drinks like Mexican Hot Cocoa, organic fusions, spicy or sweet chai and a variety of white Craftsman, you have to go back before the owners, Jon and Meredith Oksenholt, even Steven Smith teas. Handmade Tillamook Mojo shakes are also a popular option. They also offer had the idea to open a coffee business on their Highway 101 frontage property. Back to the late specialty drinks like the Valhrona, which has quickly become a local favorite. “The Valhrona is ’90s, when a guy named Duane Sorenson decided buying coffee from a broker wasn’t the way he definitely my favorite,” said Jon. “It is made with these amazing French dark chocolate medallions wanted to run his new coffee company, Stumptown Coffee Roasters. “When Duane first started sourcing coffee he was really in pursuit of quality,” said Stumptown’s instead of syrup. “ Coming up with things that will keep the locals coming back is important to Mojo. “Jon and I Senior Account Manager Skip Colombo. “He saw that the traditional system of using brokers are extremely grateful for our incredible baristas and our loyal local customers. We just furthered and spot buying coffee was flawed. With that system there’s no traceability, you don’t know the our local loyalty discount by way of starting a ‘local rewards’ program.” said Meredith. It will be farm or family that created that coffee.

Coastal women do the math Five outstanding Oregon Coast women will take part in a panel discussion about how to get more women and girls to become involved in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the Monday, March 11, meeting of the Central Oregon Coast Chapter of the National Organization for Women. The panelists are Janet Webster, interim director of Hatfield Marine Science Center; Maryann Bozza, program manager at Hatfield, and previously a researcher at the Alaska Sea Life Center in Alaska; Ruth McDonald, mentor teacher at Yaquina View and a 2007–2008 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow; Mary Koike, Newport High School science teacher and a 2011 Presidential Awardee for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching; and Ingrid Olson, first grade teacher at Crestview Heights and 2012 Outstanding Marine/Aquatic Classroom Educator. The panel discussion ties in with theme of this year’s Women’s History Month: Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The meeting will be held on at 7 pm in the Central Lincoln PUD meeting room, 2129 North Coast Highway, Newport. For more information call 541-765-2371.

Where to start on Kickstarter? Once upon a time, a small business owner in need of an infusion of cash was forced to rely on an especially forgiving loan officer or a rich uncle for help. These days, credit remains tight for folks with less-than-perfect credit ratings and rich uncles are hard to come by. In response, thousands of entrepreneurs around the globe and quite a few right here on the Oregon Coast have turned to crowd-funding sources like Kickstarter to raise the capital they need to grow their businesses and better serve their customers. On March 12, the Small Business Development Center will present a discussion featuring representatives of two Lincoln City small businesses that have been successful in raising funds online to enhance and expand their businesses — Keith and Betsy Altomare of the Bijou Theatre; and Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch of Pulphouse Publishing. The discussion kicks off at 6:30 pm Tuesday, March 12, at the Lincoln City campus of Oregon Coast Community College, on High School Drive. To reserve a spot, contact Ron Spisso, OCCC small business management coordinator at RSpisso@occc.cc.or.us or 541-487-4855. For more information, including links to videos of the Bijou and Pulphouse Kickstarter videos, go to oregoncoastbusiness.com.

A dock, a talk and a walk Tsunami exhibit to be dedicated at the Hatfield Marine Science Center by Nancy Steinberg for the TODAY

Early last summer, a piece of debris washed up on Agate Beach in Newport. While trash washing up on a beach would, sadly, not normally be newsworthy, the size and provenance of this particular piece of debris was amazing. As many readers will recall, it was a 66-foot-long concrete dock that had been ripped from the shores of Misawa, Japan, by the March 2011 tsunami that killed 18,000 people and destroyed $300 billion in infrastructure. For the weeks that the dock remained on the beach, thousands of locals and visitors came to see it, many treating the trek as a pilgrimage of sorts. People marveled at the power of the ocean that ripped the behemoth from its moorings and then propelled it more than 5,000 miles to the Oregon Coast. It was a reminder, also, of the death toll that the tsunami exacted on the people of Japan, and maybe for some a harbinger of what could happen here some day when “the big one” strikes. After the dock was cut into chunks and removed from Agate Beach, a piece was returned to Newport. Now at the Visitor Center of the Hatfield Marine Science Center, it will serve as a reminder of the tragedy of the 2011 tsunami as well as the centerpiece of a display on local tsunami awareness. The exhibit will be dedicated with a ceremony on Sunday, March 10 at 2 pm at the HMSC Visitor Center in South Beach. Oregon Sea Grant’s Mark Farley, the manager of the Visitor Center, gives credit to former Newport mayor Mark McConnell for getting the dock section to HMSC. “Mark wanted it at HMSC because of the Visitor Center’s educational mission,” Farley said. “He thought it was the most appropriate place for it.” The first attempt at getting a section of the dock to HMSC was not successful, to say the least. The piece that had been cut for donation to HMSC was fourteen square feet, and so heavy that it exceeded the weight limitation for the Yaquina Bay Bridge, over which it would have to travel from the Port of Newport to HMSC. Even if it had come over the bridge, the crane that was standing ready to position it at HMSC would have been too small. “The piece hadn’t crossed the bridge when we realized it was just too big,” said Farley. “[Newport Public Works Director] Tim Gross and [Port of Newport General Manager] Don Mann worked out a place to keep it in the International Terminal until it could be cut down to size.” The piece, covered in a wave mural that appeared on the dock some weeks after it came ashore in Newport, has now been shaved down to size and will be placed on a custom concrete foundation outside the Visitor Center. The display will also include interpretive signage that will provide information about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the dock’s journey to Oregon, and information about the local earthquake and tsunami risk. A plaque will also honor the victims of the March 2011 tsunami.

The dedication will take place nearly two years to the day after the tsunami that brought the dock to our shores. Dignitaries to speak include former mayor Mark McConnell; Hirofumi Murabayashi, consul general of Japan in Portland; and Sea Grant personnel. The event is free and open to the public. Visitors and locals alike will also be interested in the new Tsunami Interpretive Trail, a series of interpretive signs that line the pedestrian path one would take to get to safe high ground in South Beach in the event of a tsunami. The trail leads to Safe Haven Hill at the base of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, the place to head to if the ground starts to shake while you’re at HMSC, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Rogue brewery, the NOAA facility, or elsewhere on the South Beach peninsula. The signs tell readers how long — to the minute — it will take to get to safe high ground from that point while also providing safety tips and earthquake and tsunami information. New inundation maps provided by the Oregon Department of Geology Photo by Mark Farley and Mineral Industries are included on the signs as well. “We believe it’s the only interpretive trail of its kind,” Farley said. The trail, marked by eight signs, begins at the HMSC Visitor Center and travels for half a mile to Safe Haven Hill. There are two additional signs at the Aquarium. The interpretive trail and dock exhibit are the result of partnerships among Oregon Sea Grant, HMSC, Oregon Emergency Management, the Port of Newport, the City of Newport and generous donors. The HMSC Visitor Center is located at 2030 SE Marine Science Drive in South Beach, just south of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Its winter hours are 10 am to 4 pm Thursday through Sunday, and they will move to their summer hours on Memorial Day (10 am–5 pm every day). The tsunami exhibit is outside in front of the Visitor Center, so it is accessible even on days that the Visitor Center is closed.

coast culture

Marking the memory A monument honoring the memory of all who have lost their lives in the ocean will be unveiled in Yachats on Saturday, March 9. Built with private donations, the Coastal Safety Marker was inspired by the lives of Jack Harnsongkram and Conor Ausland, two young men from Eugene who drowned 100 meters north of the marker’s location in February 2011. The marker will be dedicated at a public ceremony from 11 to 11:30 am in the Pacific Room of the Adobe Resort, 1555 Hwy. 101, followed by an open house from noon to 2 pm. Speakers include Yachats Mayor Ronald Brean; Curt Wilson, safety marker committee member; and Ellen Tykeson, sculptor. The parents of Harnsongkram and Ausland are expected to attend along with local officials, classmates of the deceased and community members from the Eugene and coastal communities. A six-minute video emphasizing coastal safety be shown and the ceremony will conclude by 11:30 am with a gathering at the marker.

A quilt fit for a Qin The process of recreating the famed terracotta army of Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang in quilt form will be the topic of the March 14 Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild meeting. Coastal quilter Karen Donobedian will discuss the process she used to create the original pattern for her work “Terra Cotta Warriors,” as well as giving details about selection of the fabrics and her quilting design and methods. Donobedian has been sewing since childhood, beginning with sitting on her mother’s lap while she sewed on a treadle machine. She progressed to making garments and competing in 4-H competitions but didn’t start quilting until 1999 when she wandered into a quilt store. Enthralled by the beautiful fabrics and interesting quilt patterns, she became “hooked.” Her first quilting class was a paper-piecing workshop at which Donobedian chose to make her own pattern from a stained glass design. Creating her own patterns and designs using photos she or others have taken, Donobedian enjoys selecting fabrics and techniques in order to portray the subject matter as realistically as possible. Several of her quilts have been juried into international quilt shows, including the International Quilt Association’s show in Houston, Texas; the American Quilters Society show in Paducah, Kentucky, and shows in Washington State and in California. She also has won numerous awards at OCQG’s annual show, “Quilts by the Sea.” Donobedian and her husband Gary retired from the US Forest Service and moved to Waldport in 2007. The March 14 meeting will take place in the Fellowship Hall of Atonement Lutheran Church, 2315 N. Coast Hwy., Newport. The meeting will begin at 1:30 pm, preceded by a “table walk” at 1

pm, which offers the opportunity to see and participate in various guild activities. For information about the guild, go to www.oregoncoastalquilters.org.

Go green in Newport The Newport-based Celtic Heritage Alliance (CHA) is celebrating all things Irish with its “Shamrock Supper,” a pre-St. Patrick’s Day dinner at 6:30 pm on Saturday, March 9, at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The Supper will feature traditional Irish fare from Nye Beach’s Nana’s Irish Pub, plus entertainment from musician Frank Blair and Irish storytelling. Beer and wine will be available for purchase. Tickets for the Supper are $25 and available on the CHA website, www.newportcelticfestival.com, or at Bridie’s Irish Faire in Nye Beach at 715 NW 3rd Street in Newport. The Supper is sponsored by Sysco, Nana’s Irish Pub, Columbia Distributing, Newport Signs, Best Western Agate Beach Inn, West Coast Linen, Inc. and Ancestry.com. The Shamrock Supper is CHA’s last fundraising event before the third annual Newport Celtic Festival and Highland Games, scheduled for June 7-9 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. As with the first two years, the Festival will offer music, dancing, food and goods celebrating all seven Celtic nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Galicia and the Isle of Man. The Festival includes events all around Newport on Friday, June 7, before the family events, three stages of music and dancing, vendors, clans and a full Highland Games, all at the fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday. Repeat visitors will find some exciting changes, such as “village clusters” of vendor, clan and food booths and a parade of Scottish clans at the Newport High School athletic field at the Festival opening. The deadline for vendors to apply for space is April 15.
